For impaired problems, older men and women showed the strongest divergence in the changes between the north and south, decreasing in the south and increasing in the north.
For low-income men, the comparison of changes was strongly significant in the opposite direction for extrinsic problems, and tended to rise more strongly in the north also for impaired problems.
Among persons with a monthly salary of €2700 or more (high income), the number of persons reporting impaired problems had increased significantly more than among those earning less than €1350 each month (low income) in the northern site.

Indeed, an inverse relationship between owner/handler dependence and problem-solving performance had previously been identified; that is, a more dependent relationship in companion dogs fostered impaired problem-solving performance compared with working dogs (Topal et al. 1997).
Remitted patients with a history of recurrences have an inability to retrieve specific memories from the past and this is associated with impaired problem-solving skills [e.g. 17], long-term course of depressive disorders [ 18] and difficulties in recovering from depression.
