In this large sample of Canadian older adults incorporating several objective health measures, older adults with depression were at increased risk of cognitive decline and had an excess of potentially modifiable risk factors. Clinicians should pay particular attention to control of diabetes, physical inactivity and risk factors for cerebrovascular disease in older adults presenting with depression as they can contribute to accelerated cognitive decline and may be addressed during routine clinical care.
