Generalized Anxiety Disorder is one of the most prevalent anxiety disorders, but its neural basis is relatively understudied. This study aims to characterize the functional connectivity in the Default Mode Network (DMN) in Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD) across the lifespan. Functional and structural MRI data were collected with subjects at rest. We analyzed the resting state functional connectivity patterns in the DMN for twenty-seven GAD participants and thirty-nine non-anxious comparison participants. Using a two-way ANOVA, we explored the interaction between age and GAD status on functional connectivity. In GAD participants we analyzed the correlation of functional connectivity indices with the duration of illness and worry severity. The age-by-anxiety interaction showed a greater anxiety effect on the functional connectivity between the posterior cingulate seed and the medial prefrontal cortex for the older group relative to the younger participants. Longer duration of illness was positively correlated with greater functional connectivity between the posterior cingulate cortex and the insula. Worry severity was inversely correlated with the functional connectivity between the PCC seed and the medial prefrontal cortex. The presence of GAD, longer duration of illness and more severe worry exacerbate the effects of age on the functional connectivity in the Default Mode Network. These results support the need for tailored research and interventions in late-life anxiety.
