Background: Vitamin D deficiency has been associated with depression in later life, but it remains unclear whether this association is truly causal.Methods: Observational study examining the retrospective, cross-sectional-and prospective associations between vitamin D concentration and depressed mood in a community-derived sample of 3105 older men living in metropolitan Perth, Western Australia. We measured the plasma concentration of 25-hydroxyvitamin D using standard procedures. Past depression was ascertained by direct questioning and through the use of administrative health data linkage. A geriatric depression scale score equal or greater 7/15 established the presence of current depression. Incident depression was established by a patient health questionnaire (PHQ-9) score >= 10 or by administrative health data linkage during the 6-year follow up (range 0.1-10.9 years).Results: Vitamin D concentration
