Description

Jiamin Yin and co-authors traced the two-way link between low mood and thinking over sixteen years, in a 2025 paper. Depression and cognitive decline often travel together in older adults. Which one leads was unsettled. Their data come from a national English aging study.

The sample held 8,268 adults seen every two years from 2002 to 2018. Dual change models let each trait predict the other over time. Shared biology may drive part of the pairing. Knowing the direction helps time screening and care. Both mood and memory deserve checks at the same visit.
