Longitudinal data are available for residents of the Canterbury District Health Board (DHB) (n = 67 760 at study onset) and the rest of New Zealand (n = 469 055 at study onset).

This suggests that older persons sought assistance for insomnia and anxiety in the aftermath of the most devastating earthquake, but longer\u2010term rates of clinically significant anxiety and depression for older persons did not increase as a consequence of the earthquakes
