We have also reported evidence of such adaptation which lowered the risk of depression in an LTCF sample. The present study extends the adaptational variables for depression compares areas of agreement between the dementia and depression studies, reviews the adaptational construct, and suggests clinical applications targeted to primary prevention of depression in this setting.
