We investigated gender differences in 219 patients with obsessive compulsive disorder consecutively referred to a centre specialising in the behavioural treatment of anxiety disorders. Females had a later mean onset-age, and were more likely to be married and to have children; they were also marginally more likely to have a past history of an eating disorder or depression, while males were more likely to have a history of anxious or meticulous personality traits. Family loading for psychiatric disorders did not differ significantly between the sexes. The results are discussed in the context of the epidemiological literature on gender differences in OCD.
我们对219例强迫症患者进行了调查，这些患者是连续转诊至一家专门从事焦虑症行为治疗的中心的。女性的平均发病年龄较晚，结婚和育有子女的可能性更大；她们患饮食失调或抑郁症既往史的可能性也略高，而男性有焦虑或谨小慎微人格特质病史的可能性更大。精神疾病的家族负荷在两性之间没有显著差异。我们将在关于强迫症性别差异的流行病学文献背景下讨论这些结果。
