OBJECTIVE: Although depression has been associated with hyperactivity of the hypothalamo-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis, recent studies among depressed elderly have found decreased cortisol levels, which may be due to underlying physical frailty associated with HPA-axis hypoactivity. The authors examined the relationship between urinary cortisol level and late-life depressive symptoms. The authors also explored whether hypo- and hypercortisolemic depressive symptoms are qualitatively different. METHODS: Data are from 881 community-dwelling participants, average age 74.2 years, of the Aging in the Chianti Area Study. Depressive symptoms were assessed using the Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale (CES-D) scale and cortisol levels ...
