Apathy is an independent risk factor for incident cardiovascular disease in the older individual: a population‐based cohort study
ConclusionsApathy, but not depression, is a strong, independent risk factor for incident CVD. It may be a marker of underlying vascular disease. By its nature, apathy may cause non‐adherence to a healthy lifestyle, diminished activities, and possibly even withdrawal from clinical care aimed at improving vascular risk profiles.

Depressive, functional status, and neuropsychiatric symptom trajectories before an Alzheimer's disease diagnosis.
Discussion: Changes in functional and depressive symptoms were partly independent of cognitive decline. The longitudinal results lend additional support to conceptual and empirical models of pre-diagnosis declines in AD.

Optimal Blood Pressure for Cognitive Function: Findings from an Elderly African‐American Cohort Study
ConclusionHigh and low BP were associated with poorer cognitive performance. A joint optimal region of SBP and DBP for cognitive function has been identified, which may provide useful clinical information on optimal BP control in cognitive health and lead to better quality of life for elderly adults.

Psychosocial problems associated with depression at 18 months poststroke
ConclusionsMultiple regression models indicated that the most determining features for developing PSD at 18 months poststroke include reduced activity and relationship problems due to stroke. Further studies on risk factors for PSD are essential, including psychosocial aspects, given its negative impact on rehabilitation and quality of life. Copyright © 2013 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Nondisease‐Specific Problems and All‐Cause Mortality in the REasons for Geographic and Racial Differences in Stroke Study
ConclusionNondisease‐specific problems were associated with mortality across a wide age spectrum. Future studies should explore whether treating these problems will improve survival and identify innovative healthcare models to address multiple nondisease‐specific problems simultaneously.

Long-term morbidities in stroke survivors: a prospective multicenter study of Thai stroke rehabilitation registry
Conclusion:
Long-term complications are common in stroke survivors. More than three-fourths of the patients developed at least one during the first year after rehabilitation. Strategies to prevent complications should be concerned especially on musculoskeletal pain which was the most common complaint. Physical complications at discharge period associated with psychological complications at 1 year followed up. More attention should be emphasized on patients age older than 60 years who were the major risk group for developing such complications.

Association between depression and tinnitus in a nationally representative sample of US older adults.
Conclusion: These findings suggest that individuals who perceive their tinnitus to be a problem or have problems with tinnitus when going to bed may be in need of intervention to prevent or reduce their depression symptoms so as to ensure that other areas of their life are not negatively influenced.
