According to the Epidemiologic Catchment Area (ECA) study--one of the largest investigations of the prevalence of mental disorders ever conducted--anxiety disorders affect more than 7% of adults in the United States. Women, individuals under age 45, those who are separated or divorced, and those in low socioeconomic groups all have a higher rate of anxiety than individuals in other groups. This article will present prevalence rates of anxiety disorders based on data from the five ECA sites--New Haven, Conn; Baltimore, Md; St Louis, Mo; Durham, NC; and Los Angeles, Ca.
根据“流行病学集水区”（ECA）研究——有史以来针对精神障碍患病率开展的最大规模调查之一——焦虑症影响着美国超过7%的成年人。女性、45岁以下人群、分居或离异者以及社会经济地位较低群体的焦虑症发病率均高于其他群体。本文将根据来自ECA五个地点（康涅狄格州纽黑文；马里兰州巴尔的摩；密苏里州圣路易斯；北卡罗来纳州达勒姆；加利福尼亚州洛杉矶）的数据呈现焦虑症的患病率。
