Introduction: We evaluated: (1) psychometric properties of State‐Trait Anxiety Inventory Form Y (STAI Form Y); (2) clinical correlates of state and trait anxiety; (3) associations of anxiety with quality of life (QoL) dimensions. Methods: We assessed 159 patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) on STAI Form Y and on tests and questionnaires for depression, apathy, QoL, and cognitive abilities. Results: Clinically diagnosed anxiety (by Mini International Neuropsychiatric Inventory) occurred in 30 (19%) patients. STAI Form Y fitted a 2‐factor structure and showed good psychometric properties. State and trait anxiety were weakly associated with female sex, bulbar functional decay, and cognitive decline in language and memory; trait anxiety was associated with lower educational attainment and poorer scores on visuospatial tasks. State and trait anxiety were associated with poorer physical and psychosocial QoL dimensions. Conclusions: Anxiety is tightly associated with QoL in ALS, and can be reliably assessed by STAI Form Y.

“…Anxiety symptoms were assessed at baseline using a 10‐item Spielberger State‐Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI‐T) administered in the participant's preferred language (Spanish or English) [Bromberger and Matthews, ; Bergua et al, ]. This a short form version of the 20 item STAI‐T [Spielberger, ), which is a valid and commonly used measure of trait anxiety symptoms in population‐based studies (see e.g.…”

Although generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) is heritable and aggregates in families, no genomic loci associated with GAD have been reported. We aimed to discover potential loci by conducting a genome-wide analysis of GAD symptoms in a large, population-based sample of Hispanic/Latino adults. Data came from 12,282 participants (aged 18–74) in the Hispanic Community Health Study/Study of Latinos. Using a shorted Spielberger Trait Anxiety measure, we analyzed: (1) a total trait anxiety score based on summing responses to all ten items; and (2) a GAD symptoms score restricted to the three items tapping diagnostic features of GAD as defined by DSM-V. We first calculated the heritability due to common variants (h2SNP) and then conducted a genome-wide association study (GWAS) of GAD symptoms. Replication was attempted in three independent Hispanic cohorts (Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis, Women’s Health Initiative, Army STARRS). The GAD symptoms score showed evidence of modest heritability (7.2%; p=0.03), while the total trait anxiety score did not (4.97%; p=0.20). One genotyped SNP (rs78602344) intronic to Thrombospondin 2 (THBS2) was nominally associated (p=4.18×10−8) in the primary analysis adjusting for psychiatric medication use and significantly associated with the GAD symptoms score in the analysis excluding medication users (p=4.18×10−8). However, meta-analysis of the replication samples did not support this association. Although GWAS revealed a genome-wide significant locus in this sample, we were unable to replicate this finding. Evidence for heritability was also only detected for GAD symptoms, and not the trait anxiety measure, suggesting differential genetic influences within the domain of trait anxiety.

“…To obtain a more comprehensive assessment, future studies of older adults are required, which utilize the 10-item anxiety scale. 23 Finally, the results cannot infer causality. A minimum of three waves of SRH panel data are required to fully assess how bonding trust reduces anxiety among older adults.…”

“…22 The validity and reliability of a 10-item, shortened TA scale for measuring the older adult population was considered acceptable and comparable to those of the original scale. 23 Items in the scale adapted for older adults were the same as those in the shortened version, except for two items ("I feel like a failure" and "I have disturbing thoughts"), which were not included in the Panel Study of Family Dynamics. Items were summed to form a score and then the mean score of participants on the scale was calculated.…”

Aim This study examined whether changes in generalized trust and bonding trust are related to changes in trait anxiety, and whether changes in self‐rated health mediate the relationship between changes in two types of trust and trait anxiety among older Taiwanese adults. Methods A hierarchical regression model and a mediation model were separately used to analyze two‐wave panel data on 763 older adults from the Panel Study of Family Dynamics in Taiwan. Results Our findings show that changes in bonding trust (but not changes in generalized trust) are associated with changes in trait anxiety. The results show that sustaining a high level of bonding trust is associated with consistently good health, which in turn decreases anxiety. The relationship between changes in bonding trust and trait anxiety was found to be partially mediated by changes in self‐rated health among older people. Conclusions The results suggest that bonding trust is more beneficial for the promotion of self‐rated health and reducing trait anxiety than generalized trust in a given context. Policies aiming to ameliorate anxiety among older adults should take into consideration the importance of the developing bonding trust and promoting health in Chinese societies.

Short STAI-Y anxiety scales: validation and normative data for elderly subjects

Abstract: Both shortened scales have similar factorial structure and internal consistency to the longer scales and classify anxious/non-anxious elderly with acceptable accuracy. The shorter form is likely to be more acceptable to elderly persons through reduction of fatigue effects.
