Abstract

Anxiety disorders are common. Prevalence is likely to be raised in people with hearing impairment, who experience higher rates of associated risk factors. We conducted, to our knowledge, the first systematic review of the prevalence and correlates of anxiety in people with hearing impairment.

Prevalence of mental disorders in Europe: results from the European Study of the Epidemiology of Mental Disorders (ESEMeD) project.

J. Alonso, M Angermeyer, S Bernert … (2004)

To describe the 12-month and lifetime prevalence rates of mood, anxiety and alcohol disorders in six European countries. A representative random sample of non-institutionalized inhabitants from Belgium, France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands and Spain aged 18 or older (n = 21425) were interviewed between January 2001 and August 2003. DSM-IV disorders were assessed by lay interviewers using a revised version of the Composite International Diagnostic Interview (WMH-CIDI). Fourteen per cent reported a lifetime history of any mood disorder, 13.6% any anxiety disorder and 5.2% a lifetime history of any alcohol disorder. More than 6% reported any anxiety disorder, 4.2% any mood disorder, and 1.0% any alcohol disorder in the last year. Major depression and specific phobia were the most common single mental disorders. Women were twice as likely to suffer 12-month mood and anxiety disorders as men, while men were more likely to suffer alcohol abuse disorders. ESEMeD is the first study to highlight the magnitude of mental disorders in the six European countries studied. Mental disorders were frequent, more common in female, unemployed, disabled persons, or persons who were never married or previously married. Younger persons were also more likely to have mental disorders, indicating an early age of onset for mood, anxiety and alcohol disorders.

Risk factors for anxiety and depression in the elderly: a review.

Dagmar Vink, Robert A. Schoevers, Marja Aartsen (2008)

Although a number of studies have examined risk factors for anxiety and depression at a later age, there have been no systematic comparisons of risk profiles across studies. Knowledge on such risk profiles may further our understanding of both the etiology and early recognition of these highly prevalent disorders. This paper gives a comprehensive overview and compares risk factors associated with anxiety and depression in the elderly. The databases MEDLINE, PsycINFO and Sociological Abstracts were systematically searched, and relevant English-language articles from January 1995 to December 2005 were reviewed. Cross-sectional and longitudinal studies on risk factors in elderly from a community or primary care setting were included. The associations between risk factors and pure anxiety or depressive symptoms or disorders were summarized and compared. The abstracted risk factors from studies on anxiety (N=17) and depression (N=71) were clustered into the categories biological, psychological and social. Although risk factors for anxiety and depression showed many similarities, some differences were found. Biological factors may be more important in predicting depression, and a differential effect of social factors on depression and anxiety was found. Due to a high heterogeneity between studies, no meta-analysis could be conducted. There is considerable overlap between the risk profiles for anxiety and depression in the elderly, which suggests a dimensional approach on the interrelationship between anxiety and depression is more appropriate. To improve the recognition and preventive mental health programs, a clearer understanding of differentiating etiological factors will be needed.
