The Influence of Mood-Related Variables on Activity and Participation in Individuals With Chronic Stroke
Little information exists about the influence of mood-related variables on the activity and participation of survivors of chronic stroke despite the known implications of anxiety and depression on overall participation patterns. Grounded within International Classification of Functioning, Disability, and Health, this study examined 77 individuals with chronic stroke to determine the influence of depression, anxiety, and sense of coherence on activity and participation. Backward stepwise regression revealed that depression and anxiety were both independent predictors of activity and participation, but that sense of coherenc...

Natural history, predictors and associated outcomes of anxiety up to 10 years after stroke: the South London Stroke Register
Conclusions: anxiety is a frequent problem affecting stroke survivors in the long term. Clinicians should pay attention to patients at risk of anxiety since it is associated with lower QoL and depression.

Disassociation of verbal learning and hippocampal volume in type 2 diabetes and major depression
ConclusionsThe relationship between hippocampal volume and performance on the California Verbal Learning Test is decoupled in subjects with type 2 diabetes and major depression and this decoupling may contribute to poor verbal learning and memory performance in this study population.

The effects of increased therapy time on cognition and mood in frail patients with a stroke who rehabilitate on rehabilitation units of nursing homes in the Netherlands: a protocol of a comparative study
DiscussionThe present study evaluates the effect of increased therapy time on cognition, mood (level of depression and anxiety), and ADL in stroke patients. When positive effects will be found this study can guide policy makers and practitioners on how to implement more therapy time on rehabilitation wards of nursing homes.Trial registration: TNR Our study has been documented in the Dutch Trial Registration, TC = 3871.

Incongruence between stroke survivor and spouse perceptions of survivor functioning and effects on spouse mental health: a mixed-methods pilot study.
Conclusion: Partner incongruence has an impact on spouse depressive symptoms and overall mental health. Interventions targeted at survivor-spouse dyads and focused on improving communication between partners about survivor abilities may be effective for improving the mental health of spousal caregivers.

Similarities Among Factors Associated With Components of Frailty in Elderly: SABE Study
Discussion: Encouraging physical activity, screening for and treating depression and treating both diseases of the central nervous system and chronic diseases must be the focus of strategies to avoid, delay, or even remedy frailty.

Depressive symptoms among frail elderly in ordinary living: who is affected and who is treated?
Conclusion: Those elderly with a GDS score indicating a risk for depression have poorer health, are more dependent on help and are more often treated with sedatives. The study could not confirm an association between heart failure or TIA/stroke and risk for depression.

Linking social capital and mortality in the elderly: A Swedish national cohort study.
CONCLUSION: There are associations between low linking social capital and mortality from chronic disorders and suicide in the elderly population. Community support for elderly people living in neighborhoods with low levels of linking social capital may need to be strengthened.

Identifying factors associated with changes in physical functioning in an older population
ConclusionsOlder persons with stroke, Parkinson's disease, diabetes, osteoporosis, geriatric conditions and poor short physical performance battery score should be considered as the target of prevention against functional decline. Those not living with spouses, with poor self‐rated health, with low social support, being underweight or obese and with a sedentary lifestyle might also require major attention.

Morale in very old people who have had a stroke
Abstract: Stroke incidence increases with age and may impact on morale. The aim of this study was to investigate the prevalence of stroke among individuals aged 85 years or older in Northern Sweden and Western Finland and to evaluate factors associated with morale among those who have had a stroke compared with those without a stroke history. This population-based, cross-sectional study included 708 individuals (504 women and 204 men) aged 85 years and older (range 85–107). The study was conducted through structured interviews during home visits and from reviews of medical records, where demographic data and health-relat...

Association of stressful life events with incident falls and fractures in older men: the Osteoporotic Fractures in Men (MrOS) Study
Conclusions: in this cohort of older men, stressful life events significantly increased risk of incident falls independent of other explanatory variables, but did not independently increase incident fracture risk.

Heartsick: psychiatric and inflammatory implications of cerebromicrovascular disease
BackgroundCerebromicrovascular disease (CMVD) strikes 87% of the population older than 65 years and is linked to an increased risk of ischemic stroke, depression, cognitive impairment, and Alzheimer's disease. Despite the wealth of knowledge on the consequences to the body stemming from poor vascular health, little focus has been placed on the consequences to the brain.
DesignIn this review, we present the preclinical and clinical evidence that supports the role of CMVD in behavioral dysfunction, argues for a clinical need for better recognition of the vascular depression phenotype, and calls for a more integrative trans...

Vascular depression: overrepresented among African Americans?
ConclusionsThis is the first study to document high rates of vascular depression in a clinical sample of African Americans and Caucasians. Our findings suggest that vascular depression may be overrepresented among African Americans, which is consistent with the high rates of cardiovascular disease, hypertension, and stroke in this population.
