Objective. To study possibilities of using depression scales in elderly patients, evaluate the parameters of their reliability and validity and develop practical recommendations on the use of these scales in clinical practice. Material and methods. The study included 234 patients, aged over 50 years, with anxious depression. The following scales/questionnaires BDI, GDS-15, CES-D-10, CES-D-20, ZDS and HADS-D were used at baseline and 12 weeks after treatment. Data analysis included the calculation of convergent, discriminative and diagnostic validity of depression scales/questionnaires in elderly. Results. All scales are effective for the diagnosis of depression in elderly people. The possibility of using these scales in patients with mild cognitive impairment is shown. An increase of the correlation between the scores on depression and anxiety scales up to the loss of discriminative validity of «double» scales/questionnaires by the alternative set of symptoms for the diagnosis of depression and anxiety was confirmed. Conclusion. Based on the results, the authors have developed common and specific for each scale recommendations on the optimal use of depression scales/questionnaires in elderly.
