To evaluate the prevalence of episodes of mania and hypomania, as well as associated factors and comorbidities among adults 18 to 24 years old in the city of Pelotas, Brazil.
This is a cross-sectional population-based study. The sample was selected through conglomerates, and episodes of mania and hypomania were assessed using the Mini International Neuropsychiatric.
The sample consisted of 1560 subjects. The lifetime prevalence of manic and hypomanic episodes was 7.5% and 5.3%, respectively. Subjects with (hypo)manic episodes had a higher prevalence of anxiety disorders, substance abuse and suicidality.
The high rate of (hypo)mania may to some extent reflect diagnostic error.
Such high prevalence of (hypo)mania may nonetheless be valid as it was associated with corresponding rates of comorbidity and suicidality.
评估巴西佩洛塔斯市 18 至 24 岁成年人中躁狂和轻躁狂发作的患病率,以及相关因素和合并症。
这是一项横断面基于人群的研究。样本通过聚类法选择,使用 Mini International Neuropsychiatric 评估躁狂和轻躁狂发作。
样本包括 1560 名受试者。躁狂和轻躁狂发作的终生患病率分别为 7.5%和 5.3%。有(轻)躁狂发作的受试者焦虑障碍、物质滥用和自杀意念的发生率更高。
(轻)躁狂的高发病率在一定程度上可能反映了诊断错误。
如此高的(轻)躁狂发病率可能是合理的,因为它与相应的合并症和自杀率相关。
