TL;DR: The prediction of dementia in AD by SMI with subsequent amnestic MCI supports the model of a consecutive 3-stage clinical manifestation of AD from SMI via MCI to dementia.
Journal ArticleDOI
Prevalence and risk factors for depression in non-demented primary care attenders aged 75 years and older.
Siegfried Weyerer,Sandra Eifflaender-Gorfer,Leonore Köhler,Frank Jessen,Wolfgang Maier,Angela Fuchs,Michael Pentzek,Hanna Kaduszkiewicz,Cadja Bachmann,Matthias C. Angermeyer,Melanie Luppa,Birgitt Wiese,Edelgard Mösch,Horst Bickel +13 more
TL;DR: The prevalence of depression in the elderly is high and remains high into old age and in designing prevention programs, it is important to call more attention to the impact of functional and cognitive impairment on depression.
Journal ArticleDOI
Incidence and predictors of depression in non-demented primary care attenders aged 75 years and older: results from a 3-year follow-up study
Siegfried Weyerer,Sandra Eifflaender-Gorfer,Birgitt Wiese,Melanie Luppa,Michael Pentzek,Horst Bickel,Cadja Bachmann,Martin Scherer,Wolfgang Maier,Steffi G. Riedel-Heller +9 more
TL;DR: The incidence of depression increased significantly with age and it is important to call more attention on functional impairment, cognitive impairment and smoking in designing prevention programmes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Riedel-Heller,Cognition Study on Aging +19 more
TL;DR: Assessments of memory function and depressive symptoms are helpful in predicting a progressive vs a remittent course of mild cognitive impairment in patients in the AgeCoDe study.
Journal ArticleDOI
