The authors present data on the epidemiology of psychiatric disorders in older adults, with a particular focus on two prevalent syndromes: dementia and depressive disorders. Key data are presented in the context of the essential tasks of an epidemiologist: the identification and distribution of cases within the population of interest, the etiology of these disorders and the identification of risk factors which affect disease occurrence, outcomes associated with these disorders, historical trends in the prevalence of these disorders, and the impact of disease on the health care system.
