Unfortunately, the detection of anxiety disorders in late life is complicated by a series of factors that make it different from assessment in younger cohorts, such as differential symptom presentation, high comorbidity with medical and mental disorders, the aging process, and newly emergent changes in life circumstances. This review covers commonly and currently used self-report inventories for assessing anxiety in older adults. For each tool, psychometric data is investigated in depth. In particular, information about reliability, validity evidence based on data from clinical and nonclinical samples of older adults, and availability of age-appropriate norms are provided. Finally, guidance for clinical evaluation and future research are proposed in an effort to highlight the importance of clinical assessment in the promotion of clinically relevant therapeutic choices.Keywords: anxiety, elderly, self-report, assessment, aging, psychometric propertiesBalsamo MCataldi FCarlucci LFairfield BDove Medical Pressarticleanxietyelderlyself-reportassessmentagingpsychometric properties.GeriatricsRC952-954.6ENClinical Interventions in Aging, Vol Volume 13, Pp 573-593 (2018)
