Not all subscales of CES-D-R can affect MMSE scores among rural elders. There may be full mediation effects of depression within the impact of housebound status on cognitive function, mainly through negative affect, positive affect and interpersonal problems. It indicates that preventing the elderly from housebound status could relieve the decline of cognitive function by the intermediary role of depression.
