We aimed to test whether asexual individuals were at increased risk of higher levels of depressive symptoms, self-harm attempts, and suicide attempts compared with heterosexual, bisexual, or gay/lesbian individuals using multivariate meta-analysis. Seventeen, five, and eight samples were included for depressive symptoms, self-harm attempts, and suicide attempts, respectively, reaching a total sample size of 125,675, 30,116, and 73,366, respectively. Asexual individuals reported higher levels of depressive symptoms than heterosexual individuals (Hedges' g = -0.44, 95%CI = [-0.61, -0.26]) but did not differ from heterosexual individuals in the risk of self-harm (odds ratio = 1.11, 95%CI = [0.88, 1.39]) and suicide attempts (odds ratio = 0.76, 95%CI = [0.56, 1.04]). Asexual individuals were at lower risk of self-harm and suicide attempts than bisexual and gay/lesbian individuals but did not differ from bisexual and gay/lesbian individuals in the levels of depressive symptoms. The greatest risk of higher levels of depressive symptoms was found in bisexual and asexual, followed by gay/lesbian individuals; the greatest risk of self-harm and suicide attempts was found in bisexual, followed by gay/lesbian individuals, and the lowest risk was found in asexual individuals. The magnitude of the disparities in the risk of poorer mental health among heterosexual, bisexual, gay/lesbian, and asexual individuals depended on the type of mental health outcomes.
我们旨在通过多元荟萃分析检验无性个体与异性恋、双性恋或同性恋/双性恋个体相比,是否存在更高水平的抑郁症状、自残企图和自杀企图的风险。分别有 17、5 和 8 个样本用于抑郁症状、自残企图和自杀企图,分别达到了 125675、30116 和 73366 的总样本量。无性个体报告的抑郁症状水平高于异性恋个体(Hedges'g=-0.44,95%CI=[-0.61,-0.26]),但在自残风险(比值比=1.11,95%CI=[0.88,1.39])和自杀企图(比值比=0.76,95%CI=[0.56,1.04])方面与异性恋个体无差异。无性个体自残和自杀企图的风险低于双性恋和同性恋/双性恋个体,但与双性恋和同性恋/双性恋个体在抑郁症状水平上无差异。在更高水平的抑郁症状方面,风险最大的是双性恋和无性,其次是同性恋/双性恋;在自残和自杀企图方面,风险最大的是双性恋,其次是同性恋/双性恋,风险最小的是无性恋。异性恋、双性恋、同性恋/双性恋和无性恋个体在心理健康较差的风险方面的差异程度取决于心理健康结果的类型。
