This preliminary study evaluates the prevalence of personality disorders (PD) in a sample of 37 elderly recovered depressed and non-demented patients, using the French version of the Vragenlijst voor Kenmezken van de Persoonlijkheid (VKP) or Questionnaire on Personality Traits (QPT). The prevalence of definite personality disorder was 65% with predominance of Cluster C and particularly dependent and avoidant PD. The rate of PDs was higher in early onset (73%) than in late onset (45%) geriatric depression, even though there is only a trend towards statistical significance (Chi square = 2.588, p = 0.107). These results are consistent with those of previous reports using different PD assessment methods, supporting evidence that the QPT could be useful in PD assessment of elderly French speaking patients.
这项初步研究使用法语版的《人格特质问卷》(Vragenlijst voor Kenmezken van de Persoonlijkheid,VKP),对37名康复的老年非痴呆抑郁症患者样本中的人格障碍(PD)患病率进行了评估。明确人格障碍的患病率为65%,以C类为主,尤其是依赖型和回避型人格障碍。早发性老年抑郁症患者的人格障碍发生率(73%)高于晚发性患者(45%),尽管仅存在统计学显著性趋势(卡方=2.588,p=0.107)。这些结果与先前使用不同人格障碍评估方法的报告结果一致,支持了《人格特质问卷》在评估说法语老年患者人格障碍方面可能有用的证据。
