Changes in the expression of worries, anxiety, and generalized anxiety disorder with increasing age: A population study of 70 to 85 ‐year‐olds

ConclusionsThe prevalence of ICD10 GAD tended to decrease with increasing age while the prevalence of DSM5 GAD remained stable. This difference was partly due to a decreased frequency of severe anxiety and autonomic arousal symptoms, and that worries increased, suggesting changes in the expression of GAD with increasing age.
