Why the study?
Do cerebrovascular risk factors increase depressive diagnoses and symptoms in older primary care patients?
Do cerebrovascular risk factors increase depressive diagnoses and symptoms in older primary care patients?

Answers are grounded in this paper and cite their sources.
Cerebrovascular risk factors should not yet guide depression evaluation in older primary care; leaves open vascular depression hypothesis in other populations.
