Frequency and heritability of depression symptomatology in the second half of life: evidence from Danish twins over 45

1 Oct 2002

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Self-reported depressive symptoms among the elderly have generated considerable interest because they are readily available measures of overall well-being in a population often thought to be at special risk for mental disorder. METHOD: The heritability of depression symptoms was investigated in a sample of 2169 pairs of Danish twins (1033 MZ and 1136 same sex DZ) ranging in age from 45 to over 95....
