“…Higher scores represent better quality of life. German versions of the ESS, the PSQI, the MFI-20 and the SF-36 have been validated [24–29]. With the exception of the MFI-20 and the SF-36, all questionnaires of the survey were also answered by 234 age- and sex-matched control subjects who were recruited from waiting relatives of surgical patients visiting a traumatology outpatient clinic.…”

To investigate the prevalence of fatigue, daytime sleepiness, reduced sleep quality, and restless legs syndrome (RLS) in a large cohort of patients with Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease (CMT) and their impact on health-related quality of life (HRQoL). Participants of a web-based survey answered the Epworth Sleepiness Scale, the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index, the Multidimensional Fatigue Inventory, and, if the diagnostic criteria of RLS were met, the International RLS Severity Scale. Diagnosis of RLS was affirmed in screen-positive patients by means of a standardized telephone interview. HRQoL was assessed by using the SF-36 questionnaire. Age- and sex-matched control subjects were recruited from waiting relatives of surgical outpatients. 227 adult self-reported CMT patients answered the above questionnaires, 42.9% were male, and 57.1% were female. Age ranged from 18 to 78 years. Compared to controls (n = 234), CMT patients reported significantly higher fatigue, a higher extent and prevalence of daytime sleepiness and worse sleep quality. Prevalence of RLS was 18.1% in CMT patients and 5.6% in controls (p = 0.001). RLS severity was correlated with worse sleep quality and reduced HRQoL. Women with CMT were affected more often and more severely by RLS than male patients. With regard to fatigue, sleep quality, daytime sleepiness, RLS prevalence, RLS severity, and HRQoL, we did not find significant differences between genetically distinct subtypes of CMT. HRQoL is reduced in CMT patients which may be due to fatigue, sleep-related symptoms, and RLS in particular. Since causative treatment for CMT is not available, sleep-related symptoms should be recognized and treated in order to improve quality of life.Electronic supplementary materialThe online version of this article (doi:10.1007/s00415-009-5390-1) contains supplementary material, which is available to authorized users.

“…Darüber hinaus erfüllen die affektiven Symptome häufig die diagnostischen Kriterien nach ICD-10 oder DSM-IV nicht vollständig, werden aber dennoch als belastend und einschränkend erlebt und wirken sich negativ auf den gesamten Gesundheitszustand aus. Solche subklinischen depressiven Störungen werden bei rund 20 % der älteren Allgemeinbevölkerung gefunden [31,32]. Die möglicherweise ausbleibende gezielte Therapie erhöht das Chronifizierungsrisiko einer Depression und führt zu weiteren negativen Folgen für die körperliche Gesundheit und die Funktionalität [16].…”

Angst und Depressivität in der über 60-jährigen Allgemeinbevölkerung

Abstract: Physical complaints in the elderly cannot be directly traced back to age-correlated multimorbidity. Rather, elderly persons with nonspecific bodily complaints and fatigue should also be screened for anxiety and depression.
