Association of mental health, quality of life, and SARS-CoV-2 infection in individuals in need of care: Results from a multicentre registry study
Depression and anxiety were significantly associated with reduced quality of life, irrespective of living environment or SARS-CoV-2 infection status, underscoring the need for targeted mental health interventions in older adults. While our model explained a considerable portion of the variability in depression and anxiety, further research is needed to account for the remaining proportion.
