The role of functional dependence in depressive symptoms among centenarians: Findings from the SWISS100 study
A significant proportion of centenarians screened positive for depression, underscoring the need for greater attention to depressive symptoms and systematic screening. Targeted interventions promoting functional independence may play an important role to prevent depression, and strategies are needed to encourage institutionalised very old individuals to re-develop and maintain a certain level of independence.
