Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVE: To determine whether early adult cognitive ability is a risk factor for depressive symptoms in midlife and how genetic and environmental influences explain the association and to examine cross-sectional relationships between depressive symptoms and specific cognitive abilities at midlife. DESIGN: A 35-year longitudinal and cross-sectional twin study of cognitive aging. SETTING: Large multicenter study...
