In older people it is well known that memory impairment and cognitive decline are associated with depression and anxiety. However, it is remains quite uncertain which comes first. For a long time it had been thought that deteriorating brain function associated with ageing and the development of dementia is also the cause of new symptoms of depression and anxiety found in older people. Recently, some evidence has emerged to challenge this hypothesis. So we plan to study this question in detail with data from an existing longitudinal study of ageing women.

在老年人中，众所周知，记忆障碍和认知能力下降与抑郁和焦虑有关。然而，仍然很不确定哪一个先来。长期以来，人们一直认为，与衰老和痴呆症发展有关的脑功能恶化也是老年人抑郁和焦虑新症状的原因。最近，出现了一些证据来挑战这一假设。因此，我们计划用现有的老年妇女纵向研究的数据详细研究这个问题。
