Epidemiology of persecutory ideation in an elderly population in the community
R Christenson and D Blazer
Of 997 elderly people living in the community, 40 (4%) were found to have
generalized persecutory ideation. Sensory deficits and cognitive impairment
were significant risk factors for the development of this symptom complex.
Generalized persecutory ideation was also associated with impairments in
physical health, social and economic resources, and activities of daily
living. While more than 50% of the elderly individuals with this symptom
complex perceived a need for psychiatric services, a much smaller
percentage actually received help.
