Brooding rumination predicts lower cognitive functioning in late-life depression: multivariate multiple regression analyses
Elevated Brooding (and not depressive symptoms, Reflection rumination, or their interactions) was associated with lower language and memory functions in LLD. This effect may be greater in women, particularly for memory. Interventions aimed at improving brooding rumination in LLD may also benefit cognitive performance.
