[Risk of depression in 75 years or older persons, comprehensive geriatric assessment and associated factors in primary care: cross sectional study.]

CONCLUSIONS: The prevalence of risk of depression is higher than expected, although overestimated until being confirmed with a diagnostic test. We appreciate new associations of comorbidity variables with risk of depression and corroborate other known. The studied factors that were associated with the risk of depression should be included in future studies of geriatric depression.
