AB  - BACKGROUND: Mental disorders in the elderly are common, with a 12-month 
      prevalence in the community ranging from 8.54% to 26.4%. Unfortunately, many 
      mental disorders are unrecognized, untreated, and associated with poor health 
      outcomes. The aim of this paper is to describe the prevalence of mental disorders 
      in the elderly primary care (PC) population and its associated factors by age 
      groups. METHODS: Cross-sectional survey, conducted in 77 PC centers in Catalonia 
      (Spain), 1,192 patients over 65 years old. The prevalence of mental disorders was 
      assessed through face-to-face evaluations using the Structured Clinical Interview 
      for DSM-IV Axis I Disorders, Research Version (SCID-I-RV) and the Mini 
      International Neuropsychiatric Interview (MINI); chronic physical conditions were 
      noted using a checklist; and disability through the Sheehan Disability Scales 
      (SDS). RESULTS: Nearly 20% of participants had a mental disorder in the previous 
      12 months. Anxiety disorders were the most frequent, (10.9%) (95% CI = 8.2-14.4), 
      followed by mood disorders (7.4%) (95% CI = 5.7-9.5). Being female, greater 
      perceived stress and having mental health/emotional problems as the main reason 
      for consultation were associated with the presence of any mental disorder. There 
      were no differences in prevalence across age groups. Somatic comorbidity was not 
      associated with the presence of mental disorders. CONCLUSIONS: Mental disorders 
      are highly prevalent among the elderly in PC in Spain. Efforts are needed to 
      develop strategies to reduce this prevalence and improve the well-being of the 
      elderly. Based on our results, we thought it might be useful to assess perceived 
      stress regularly in PC, focusing on people who consult for emotional distress, or 
      that have greater perceived stress.
