Associations between DSM-IV mental disorders and subsequent COPD diagnosis

Abstract

Objectives COPD and mental disorder comorbidity is commonly reported, although findings are limited by substantive weaknesses. Moreover, few studies investigate mental disorder as a risk for COPD onset. This research aims to investigate associations between current (12-month) DSM-IV mental disorders and COPD, associations between temporally prior mental disorders and subsequent COPD diagnosis, and cumulative effect of multiple mental disorders. Methods Data were collected using population surveys of 19 countries (n = 52,095). COPD diagnosis was assessed by self-report of physician's diagnosis. The World Mental Health-Composite International Diagnostic Interview (WMH-CIDI) was used to retrospectively assess lifetime prevalence and age at onset of 16 DSM-IV disorders. Adjusting for age, gender, smoking, education, and country, survival analysis estimated associations between first onset of mental disorder and subsequent COPD diagnosis. Results COPD and several mental disorders were concurrently associated across the 12-month period (ORs 1.5–3.8). When examining associations between temporally prior disorders and COPD, all but two mental disorders were associated with COPD diagnosis (ORs 1.7–3.5). After comorbidity adjustment, depression, generalized anxiety disorder, and alcohol abuse were significantly associated with COPD (ORs 1.6–1.8). There was a substantive cumulative risk of COPD diagnosis following multiple mental disorders experienced over the lifetime. Conclusions: Mental disorder prevalence is higher in those with COPD than those without COPD. Over time, mental disorders are associated with subsequent diagnosis of COPD; further, the risk is cumulative for multiple diagnoses. Attention should be given to the role of mental disorders in the pathogenesis of COPD using prospective study designs.

Fear and distress disorders as predictors of heart disease: A temporal perspective

“…Respondents were asked how old they were when they were first diagnosed or had a heart attack and this year was used as age of onset of heart disease (if both were endorsed the youngest age was used). Consistent with previous publications on associations between mental disorders and various somatic diseases in the WMH surveys (Aguilar-Gaxiola et al, 2016; O’Neill et al, 2014; Rapsey et al, 2015; Scott et al 2011; Scott et al 2013; Swain et al, 2015), only adult-onset heart disease (age ≥ 21 years) was investigated in this study in order to exclude cases of childhood onset heart disease.…”
