high levels of access to public transport stops (≥ 59.7 transit points per km2), health clinics / services (≥ 18.8 destinations

depressive symptoms than their counterparts.
Also, we used objective approaches to quantify neighbourhood attributes that allowed us to partially control for potential reverse causality due to depressed individuals tending to exhibit negative cognitive bias resulting
in negative thoughts and perceptions.65 Residential self - selection bias is likely to be a trivial source
of reverse causality
in this study because Hong Kong's
high levels of population density (6760 people / km2) and low percentage
of developed land (less than 25 %) 66 limit most residents» choice
of accommodation and 37 %
of Hong Kong older adults live
in public rental housing.67 Given the satisfactory response rate and the
level of similarity
in depressive symptoms and sociodemographic characteristics
of participants recruited from two types
of recruitment centres, the findings from this study are likely to be generalisable to the population
of Chinese Hong Kong older adults matching the study eligibility criteria and other populations
of older adults living
in similar ultra-dense metropolises
of Southeast Asia.
Conclusions The
level of access to destinations and social networks across Hong Kong may be sufficiently
high to reduce the risk
of depressive symptoms in older adults.

Finally,
in considering temperament as a vulnerability factor for depression, it is important to note that
in addition to behavioural inhibition several theorists have developed temperament models that link additional temperamental styles, particularly Positive Emotion (PE) and Negative Emotion (NE) to depression.58 Many cross-sectional studies have reported that youth and adults with
depressive symptoms exhibit diminished
levels of PE and elevated
levels of NE59, 60,61 and the combination
of these have been associated with concurrent
depressive symptoms in clinical62, 63 and community samples.61, 64,65 Furthermore, longitudinal studies have found that lower
levels of PE60, 66,67 and
higher level of NE
in childhood68 - 70 predict the development
of depressive symptoms and disorders.

levels of depressive symptoms are a common comorbid condition among elders who are visually impaired.
However, when stratified by quality
of studies, the Cochrane review found no statistically significant evidence
in methodologically robust RCTs that exercise was more effective than psychological or pharmacological therapies.46 Nevertheless, we still found that
depressive symptoms are associated with lower PA
levels in individuals at
high risk
of CVD, which highlights the importance
of screening and optimising conventional depression management48 to reduce
depressive symptoms, which could help lower CVD risk.3 4
The relationship between
depressive symptoms and step count has only been assessed
in specific populations with small sample sizes, such as low - socioeconomic status Latino immigrants, 16 elderly Japanese people17 or patients with chronic conditions such as heart failure18 19 or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.20 21 Studies yield contradictory results, with some observing no association between depressive symptoms and daily step count, 19 21 while others report a negative correlation.16 — 18 20 In one cross-sectional sample of healthy older adults, an inverse association between depressive symptoms (using the Goldberg Depression Scale - 15) and accelerometer measured daily step count disappeared after controlling for general health and disability.22 While a systematic review suggests reduced levels of objectively measured PA in patients with depression, 23 it is not known whether this association is present in those at high risk of CVD and taken into account important confounding such as gender and ag

The purpose
of this study was to examine the effects
of the Strong African American Families (SAAF) on a subset
of 167 families
in which the primary caregivers demonstrated elevated
levels of depressive symptoms at pretest as indicated by a score
of 16 or
higher on the Center for Epidemiologic Studies — Depression scale (CES — D).

In addition, older rapid regulators reported experiencing fewer
depressive symptoms than nonregulators, t (32) = 2.20, p <.05, along with significantly
higher levels of optimism, t (32) = − 3.53, p <.01.
The use
of cognitive reappraisal (viewing negative situations
in a more positive light) was associated with less experience
of negative emotions and
depressive symptoms and
higher levels of optimism (Gross & John, 2003).
In addition to the low N
of younger adults, a limitation
of the current study is that we do not know if the affective profile
of older rapid regulators — low trait anxiety,
depressive symptoms,
levels of neuroticism, and
high levels of optimism — caused them to rapidly regulate their mood or if rapid mood regulation promotes this particular pattern
of affect - relevant traits.

Consistent with other studies
of estradiol and WM
in other populations,

in the WM scores.
That is, while the slope for time - related change
in ADL was 0.269 among respondents with no lifetime adversity and a low
level of depressive symptoms, it was 0.781 among those with lifetime adversity combined with a
high level of depressive symptoms.
The estimate for
depressive symptoms (γ03) was 3.477, p <.0001, indicating that the increase
in initial
level of ADL from low to
high levels of depressive symptoms was equivalent to 3.477 T - score units.
