Traduction de «elderly is often different » (Néerlandais → Français) :

Depression in the elderly is often different from depression in other age groups.
Les dépressions chez les personnes âgées sont souvent différentes par rapport aux autres groupes d’âge.

What differs is not really the depression itself, but the fact that the elderly show a different pattern of symptoms (Van Den Boogaard et al., 1996).
Ce n’est pas que la dépression même est tellement différente, mais les personnes âgées présentent les symptômes syndrome d’une autre façon (Van Den Boogaard et al., 1996).

Moreover, the suicide rates amongst the elderly are often lost sight of because of the concern – however justified – in society with the high number (expressed in percentages) of young people committing suicide.
De plus, les chiffres de suicide chez les personnes âgées sont souvent perdus de vue à cause du souci -pourtant justifiéau sein de la société du nombre élevé (exprimé en pourcentage) de suicides chez les jeunes.

The reasons for these high numbers are: depression, loneliness, bad health, social isolation, loss of independence, loss of a partner or someone close… The elderly constitute a high-risk group as far as depression and suicide are concerned, but far too often, the depression is not noticed in time, one reason being that it is thought that those minor health problems in elderly people are caused by the “normal” process of growing old.
Les raisons de ces chiffres élevés sont la dépression, la solitude, un mauvais état de santé, l’isolement social, la perte de son indépendance, la perte du partenaire ou des proches… Les personnes âgées forment un groupe à risque pour la dépression et le suicide, mais trop souvent la dépression n’est pas détectée à temps entre autre car on croit que les « petits bobos » des personnes âgées sont dûs à un processus « normal » de vieillissement.

Thus, young people, the elderly, immigrants, and homosexuals are often looked upon as specific groups that are at an increased risk of committing suicide.
C’est ainsi que les jeunes, les personnes âgées, les allochtones ou encore les homosexuels sont souvent pointés comme des groupes spécifiques présentant un risque accru de passage à l’acte suicidaire.

The elderly are relatively often faced with situations of loss (partners, physical abilities, memory function…).
Les personnes âgées doivent relativement souvent faire face à des situations de perte (partenaire, facultés physiques, fonctions de mémoire…).

Apart from the apathy and concentration problems connected to depression, the elderly in particular often show orientation and memory problems, i.e. cognitive functioning problems.
Notamment chez les personnes âgées, à côté de l’apathie et des troubles de la concentration, associés à la dépression existent également des troubles de l’orientation, de la mémoire, bref du fonctionnement cognitif.

The Resident Assessment Instrument (RAI) 444 is originally developed to Only for breast cancer and colon cancer, the US has higher survival rates assess the care needs of the elderly in institutions, and has later been than Belgium (data shown in documentation sheet in Supplement S1). To extended with instruments for different care settings and subgroups. In be able to distinguish the effect of early screening from the actual care, Belgium a national pilot project (the BelRAI) is ongoing, but is not yet implemented in all care settings: the assessment instruments for home care, relative survival rates should be compared across countries by stage, for long-term care facilities and acute care have already been adapted to information which is not yet available at international level. the Belgian situation (details in Appendix C).
