Abstract
Many studies have examined the relationship that social and medical factors have with anxiety and depression in older adults. Poor social support, stressful life events, chronic medical illness, and functional impairment can place older adults at increased risk for anxiety and affective disorders. Less is known, however, regarding how social impairment caused by medical problems is associated with late-life anxiety and depression. We hypothesize that older adults with social difficulties attributed to health problems have an increased risk of anxiety and depression, even after accounting for other indicators of physical health.
