Changes in self-rated health, disability and contact with services in a very elderly cohort: a 6-year follow-up study
Tom Dening,Lin Yang Chi,Carol Brayne,Felicia A. Huppert,Eugene S. Paykel,Daniel William O'Connor +5 more
TL;DR: Although very elderly people have a high prevalence of reported physical symptoms, they often rate their overall health as good, and there was a stronger relationship between ageing and physical symptoms than with depressive symptoms.
Very old drivers: findings from a population cohort of people aged 84 and over
TL;DR: Given the likely increase in the number of older drivers over the next decades, safety will be improved most by strategies aimed at the entire driving population with older drivers in mind, rather than relying on costly screening programmes to identify the relatively small numbers of impaired older people who continue to drive.

Estimating the true extent of cognitive decline in the old old.
Carol Brayne,David Spiegelhalter,Carole Dufouil,Lin Yang Chi,Tom Dening,Eugene S. Paykel,Daniel William O'Connor,Anne Ahmed,M A McGee,Felicia A. Huppert +9 more
TL;DR: To measure cognitive change using a brief measure over a period of 9 years and to adjust for attrition in the sample, a large number of patients with a history of depression and major depressive disorder were recruited.

Apolipoprotein E genotype in the prediction of cognitive decline and dementia in a prospectively studied elderly population
Carol Brayne,Charles R. Harrington,Claude Michel Wischik,F A Huppert,Lin Yang Chi,John H. Xuereb,Daniel William O'Connor,E S Paykel +7 more
TL;DR: A consistent association between the presence of an epsilon 4 allele and both the clinical diagnosis of dementia and cognitive decline is confirmed and prompts caution in the use of ApoE genotype to predict an elderly individual's susceptibility to either dementia or cognitive decline.

Predictors of Hospital Contact by Very Elderly People: A Pilot Study from a Cohort of People aged 75 years and over
TL;DR: Testing the hypothesis that elderly people with impaired cognitive function were heavier users of both outpatient and inpatient hospital services found that cognitively impaired subjects were nearly twice as likely to die within four years as the other two groups.
