Abstract
We conducted a network analysis of the relationship between depression symptoms and four domains of cognitive functioning in older women (N=473). The Attention/Processing Speed/Executive Function domain showed the most strength and expected influence in the network, with the Learning/Memory domain showing a similar pattern. These domains connected uniquely to depression.
