Potentials And Limits Of Aging Cohort Studies For Geriatric Psychiatry
Der Nervenarzt(2021)
Abstract
The sizeable number of population-based cohort studies of aging in Germany have provided highly valuable contributions for the specification of risk factors and predictors for frequent mental disorders in old age, especially dementia and depression. The results from these cohort studies enable the specification of mechanisms for the development of and preventative interventions for common mental disorders in old age. On the other hand, there is a significant paucity of clinical cohort studies investigating disease trajectories and possible markers for specific individualized interventions of frequent mental disorders in old age. In this article, we report selected key findings from cohort studies of aging and discuss novel approaches for the integration and harmonization of population-based and clinical cohort studies.
