As it turns out, she has since made some other pretty big changes toward a healthier lifestyle, too: ...Adele is healthier than she has ever been.

When Suzette Santos, RN, a behavioral health nurse with the Visiting Nurse Service of New York (VNSNY), was assigned to the case of Grace*, an 89-year-old resident of Nassau County on Long Island, she had some idea what to expect.

When Suzette reconnected with her patient this time, she could immediately see that Grace's depression had gotten worse. "She had lost a lot of weight -- about 20 pounds," Suzette recalls. "She had no interest in cooking or eating, ...

But little was known about the relationship between the two conditions, the study team writes in Arthritis and Rheumatology. In 2007-2008, almost six percent of men and t...
