Mediating role of depressive symptoms in the association between trajectories of instrumental activities of daily living and all-cause mortality in middle-aged or older adults: a cohort study in South Korea.
This longitudinal mediation analysis revealed that individuals experiencing an increasing trajectory of IADL limitations exhibited a higher risk of all-cause mortality, with depressive symptoms partially accounting for this association.
While modest, a moderating role of poor OHRQoL on the association between decreasing or low-stable cognitive function trajectories and all-cause mortality was observed, and these findings should be interpreted with caution and require confirmation in future studies.
Experiencing an increasing social frailty trajectory was linked to elevated mortality risk in older adults, and subsequent poor cognitive functioning partially accounted for this association.

The mental health of older adults has emerged as a critical public health concern. Older adults who experience limitations in activities of daily living (ADLs) are at an increased risk of developing depression. Internet use may offer a promising strategy for reducing mental health risks among older adults....

The IC × time association for IADL was not statistically significant in the primary complete-case analysis and was sensitive to missing-data assumptions, but may indicate early functional vulnerability.

Depressive symptom trajectories were associated with CRD and captured heterogeneity not fully reflected by single-time assessments, and Repeated assessment may help identify middle-aged and older adults at elevated respiratory risk.
