AB  - BACKGROUND: There is evidence to suggest that older people with Bipolar Disorder 
      (BD) are more likely to demonstrate poor levels of functioning and score lower on 
      well-being scales compared to non-clinical controls, even when in remission (Depp 
      et al., 2006). To our knowledge, this is the first review paper to identify how 
      quality of life and functioning has been measured in an older adult BD 
      population. METHODS: We conducted a systematic review of studies including a 
      quantitative measure of psychosocial functioning or quality of life and older 
      people over the age of 50 with a formal diagnosis of BD I or II. RESULTS: Eleven 
      studies (N = 726, mean age range 59.8 to 71.1) were included in the review, 
      demonstrating a significant lack of research in the area compered to younger 
      people with BD. The most commonly used measure of functioning was the Global 
      Assessment of Functioning Scale (GAF) and results indicated that older adults 
      with BD demonstrate a wide range of functioning. LIMITATIONS: The review used a 
      comprehensive and systematic search strategy, however, very few eligible studies 
      were available for review. The pooled analyses and reported means must be 
      interpreted with caution due to the relatively small sample sizes. CONCLUSIONS: 
      Older people with BD present with a wide range of functioning, ranging 'major 
      impairment' to 'superior' scores. No existing validated measure assessing the 
      psychosocial functioning or quality of life of older people with BD could be 
      identified. Such a tool should be developed for use in future research.
