Variations in the symptoms of borderline personality disorder (BPD) as a function of sex and age remain unclear. In this study, we examined sex and age differences with regard to various symptoms encountered in BPD.
Using a compilation of four samples, all cross-sectional from the same recruitment site and with identical self-report measures for borderline personality symptomatology (BPS), we examined sex- and age-related differences with regard to borderline personality among 1,503 primary care patients.
Men and women did not differ significantly in their overall scores or rates of BPS. With regard to sex differences in symptoms among respondents with substantial BPS, engagement in sexually abusive relationships was more common among women than men. Overall scores and rates of BPS were greater among younger respondents compared to older respondents. With regard to age differences among those with substantial BPS, self-cutting and scratching were more common in younger individuals whereas finding life dull and meaningless was more common among older individuals.
There appear to be few overall symptomatic differences among individuals with borderline personality with regard to sex and age.
边缘型人格障碍（BPD）症状在性别和年龄上的变化尚不清楚。本研究旨在探讨 BPD 各种症状的性别和年龄差异。
本研究使用来自同一招募地点的四个样本的综合资料，采用相同的 BPD 症状自评量表（BPS），对 1503 名初级保健患者进行了 BPD 相关的性别和年龄差异研究。
男性和女性在总体得分或 BPS 发生率方面没有显著差异。在有明显 BPS 症状的受访者中，与性有关的虐待关系在女性中更为常见，而在男性中则不常见。与老年人相比，年轻受访者的总体得分和 BPS 发生率更高。在有明显 BPS 的受访者中，与年龄有关的差异表现为，年轻人中更常见的是自我切割和划伤，而老年人中更常见的是生活无聊和无意义。
在性别和年龄方面，边缘型人格障碍患者的总体症状差异似乎不大。
