“…Like other researchers (e.g., Freysinger, Alessio, & Mehdizadeh, 1993;Kington, Reuben, Rogowski, & Lillard, 1994;Liddell, Locker, & Burman, 1991;Raymore & Scott, 1998), we used age 50 as a cut-off point because we wanted to capture those who had entered the period of later maturity in their life span development (Kelly & Godbey,1 992).…”

“…Another measure, the FEAR, has recently been offered as a screening measure for GAD in primary care settings [38]. Studies of elderly individuals with specific phobias have utilized anxiety symptom measures (eg, SCL-90-R) or measures developed with this diagnostic category in mind (eg, Fear Survey Schedule) [39]. An evaluation of the Anxiety about Aging Scale found the version modified for older adults to have adequate psychometric properties [40].…”

Although the epidemiology, neurobiology, and treatment of anxiety disorders have received considerable attention in the child and adult literature, they have not received the same consideration in the geriatric population. This disparity is remarkable given the prevalence and associated costs of these disorders that can persist into late life. Further, although a considerable amount is known about these disorders in younger age groups, it is unclear whether the phenomenology of anxiety evolves over the course of the aging process. Thus, conclusions drawn based on younger populations of anxious adults may not hold true for older cohorts. This article reviews issues of epidemiology, phenomenology, neurobiology, and medical comorbidity, as well as pharmacologic and psychotherapeutic treatments in older adults.

“…[12][13][14] These findings have also been borne out in relation to dental fear [15][16][17][18] with some studies showing fear prevalence approximately twice as high for females as for males. 1,2 Another commonly reported variable with a relationship to fear is age.…”

Background: This study aimed to describe both the prevalence of dental fear in Australia and to explore the relationship between dental fear and a number of demographic, socio‐economic, oral health, insurance and service usage variables. Methods: A telephone interview survey of a random sample of 7312 Australian residents, aged five years and over, from all states and territories. Results: The prevalence of high dental fear in the entire sample was 16.1 per cent. A higher percentage of females than males reported high fear (HF). Adults aged 40–64 years old had the highest prevalence of high dental fear with those adults aged 80+ years old having the least. There were also differences between low fear (LF) and HF groups in relation to socio‐economic status (SES), with people from higher SES groups generally having less fear. People with HF were more likely to be dentate, have more missing teeth, be covered by dental insurance and have a longer time since their last visit to a dentist. Conclusions: This study found a high prevalence of dental fear within a contemporary Australian population with numerous differences between individuals with HF and LF in terms of socio‐economic, socio‐demographic and self‐reported oral health status characteristics.
