Physical illness, a particularly salient stressor for the elderly, may be especially likely to precipitate psychological distress in the form of depressive and anxious symptoms in this population. However, pre-existing factors, such as social support and relatively stable cognitions may moderate the relationship between physical health and anxious and depressive symptoms. The purpose of the present study is to examine these hypotheses among older adults assessing physical health both objectively and subjectively. Predictions were tested in a sample of 208 individuals with a minimum age of 60 presenting for help with worry. Subjective physical health (though not objective physical diagnoses) was negatively related to anxious symptoms, and no variables were found to moderate this effect. Subjective physical health was unexpectedly positively associated with depressive symptoms for one measure of depression, but was unrelated to depressive symptoms on another measure. The relationship between subjective physical health and depression was moderated by self-efficacy and social support. As predicted, at low levels of self-efficacy, physical health had its strongest negative association with depressive symptoms. Unexpectedly, at high levels of social support, and friendship support in particular, physical health had its strongest negative association with depressive symptoms. Interpretations, clinical implications, and future research are suggested from these findings.
