Six ‐month prevalence and correlates of Generalized Anxiety Disorder among primary care patients aged 70 years and over: Results from the ESA‐services study

In addition, it may be associated with depression and life dissatisfaction. Screening tools for late ‐life GAD should include worry themes that are specific to aging.
