Description
Paulina Orellana and five co-authors follow older adults in Chile to link mind, body, and mood decline to death risk, in a study from 2025. Cases of mind decline are set to rise steeply in the country, and late life change can also feed low mood.
More than a thousand adults aged sixty and up were tracked for about a decade from a national health survey. Mind decline raised death risk from all causes and from heart and vessel causes. Loss of daily function and low mood each raised all cause death risk as well. Those with any of the three states had lower survival odds.
