- Title
Interlocking trajectories of loss-related events and depressive symptoms among elders.
- Authors
Lynch, Scott M; George, Linda K
- Abstract
As people age, their peers (who are also aging) become increasingly susceptible to health decline and death, implying potential growth in stressful loss-related events over time for the individual. Yet little research has examined trajectories of stress and their relationship to trajectories of depression among elders. The purpose of this research was to determine whether growth in loss-related events occurs for elders and whether stress growth is related to the well-known growth in depressive symptomatology in later life.
