“…Respondents with higher incomes reported less frequent mental distress than those with lower incomes under the poverty line. For example, Tzitzikos et al 21 found that adults with COPD in poor financial situations report much higher levels of hostility; however, in our multivariate analysis, only adults making between $35,000 and $49,999/year were less likely than those with annual incomes <$20,000/year to experience mental distress. No such disparities existed among those making >$50,000/year.…”

“…Although much research examines the features of COPD in older patients, results from our analysis suggest that younger Alabama adults with COPD may need more access to mental health services 20 . Age tends to correlate negatively with hostility in patients with COPD, with younger patients showing more hostility than older patients 21 . It is crucial to understand how hostility may manifest into clinical mental health disorders such as anxiety and depression.…”

This article examines how socioeconomic factors influence physical and mental distress experienced by Alabama adults with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) using 2015–2019 data from Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System surveys. Alabama adults with COPD who were employed/self-employed, retired, or identified as homemakers were less likely to report physical distress than those unable to work. Younger Alabama adults (25–64 years) with COPD were approximately two times more likely to report mental distress than respondents 65 and older. African Americans with COPD in Alabama were less likely to experience physical distress than Whites. Public health and healthcare practitioners across Alabama can use these state-level findings to direct more targeted, high-yield interventions that will address existing health disparities among Alabama residents with COPD.

Background: The health-related quality of life (HRQoL) of people with hemophilia (PWH) is an important issue, especially considering people suffering from chronic diseases beyond hemophilia. The principal aim of this study was to investigate the presence and relevance of psychological symptoms, both internalizing and externalizing, lifestyle, and HRQoL in a group of Italian PWH with chronic bloodborne co-infections and comorbidities. Furthermore, the research describes the association between psychological aspects and the impact of disease-related characteristics (type of hemophilia, presence of co-infections, and comorbidities) on them. Methods: Seventy patients (mean age 46.77±11.3), 64 with severe hemophilia A (Factor VIII: C < 1 IU/dL) and 6 with severe hemophilia B (Factor IX <1 IU/dL), were consecutively recruited from seven Hemophilia Centers in Italy of Italian Association of Hemophilia Centers (AICE). In order to assess psychological symptoms, HRQoL, and lifestyle, three psychological questionnaires were administered (the SCL-90-R, SF-36, and PSQ, respectively). Results: A general decline in the quality of life and an increase in the tendency to adopt a lifestyle characterized by hyperactivity emerged. Inverse correlations were found between HRQoL and psychological distress. Although the SCL-90-R did not reveal symptoms above the clinical cut-off, co-infections significantly increased anxiety, depression, somatizations, paranoia, and social withdrawal. Lastly, HRQoL is impaired by co-infections as well as comorbidities. Conclusion: Our preliminary results must be confirmed to deepen the findings between mental health and hemophilia.
