Abstract
Depression is a common mental illness and can be associated with several other comorbidity and aging. Again, aging is highly associated with physical impairment such as mobility issues, ADL/IADL status, and use of supportive devices. Still, there is no such extensive research about the link between depression and chronic health diseases or conditions. So, in this paper, we find the relationship between depression and physical impairments such as mobility problems, ADL/IADL status, and the use of any assist or supporting device(s) as well as to understand the effect of some psychosocial factors on the development of late-life depression.
