Abstract

This is the second in a series of three papers reviewing 69 patient-based outcome measures that have been developed specifically for use with older people, or that have been administered to populations that include older people. The first paper described how the measures were identified, and provided a brief description of 17 measures of general health status and quality of life. This paper reviews nine measures of mental status and cognitive function, 10 measures of depression and anxiety, and seven psychological wellbeing measures (see Tables 1-3).
