Key Points

This research aims to determine differences in the onset and sustenance of high worry between middle-aged and older adults undergoing chemotherapy and to identify predictors specific to age groups.
Secondary analysis of a longitudinal randomized controlled trial (Managing at Home)
Used survival analysis with Kaplan–Meier method to compare high worry rates across age groups
Employed Cox proportional hazards models to identify predictors of high worry for each age group.
Most high worry occurred at T1, with older adults showing a higher proportion of remaining free of high worry than middle-aged adults across time points.
Distinct predictors of high worry were identified for each age group.
