BACKGROUND: To date, most studies examining the prevalence and determinants of depression among individuals aged 80 and over have used geographically limited samples that are not generalisable to the wider population. Thus, our aim was to identify the prevalence and the factors associated with probable depression among the oldest old in Germany based on nationally representative data.

AbstractWe examined the role of psychological well-being related measures in explaining the associations between obesity and increased risk of non-communicable diseases (NCDs: hypertension, heart disease, stroke, diabetes, arthritis, cancer, and memory-related disease) in older adults. Data were from the English Longitudinal Study of Ageing (ELSA), UK (baseline: Wave 4—2008/2009; n = 8127) and the Health and Retirement Study (HRS), US (baseline: Waves 9 and 10—2008/2010; n = 12,477).
