BASTERRA, Virginia. Prevalence trends of high risk of mental disorders in the Spanish adult population: 2006-2012. Gac Sanit [online]. 2017, vol.31, n.4, pp.324-326. ISSN 0213-9111. https://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.gaceta.2017.01.004.
Objective:
To evaluate the prevalence of high risk of psychiatric morbidity in the Spanish adult population and its changes between 2006 and 2012.
Methods:
Data from 47,905 participants obtained from the National Health Surveys in 2006 and 2012 were used. Mental health status was assessed with the General Health Questionnaire score. Adjusted logistic regression models were fitted.
Results:
The prevalence of high risk of psychiatric morbidity was 20.5% in 2012 and 21.3% in 2006. Using 2006 as the reference, the odds ratio (OR) for these problems in 2012 was 0.84 (0.79-0.89) in women and 1.10 (1.02-1.18) in men. In women, it decreased for all ages. In men, these ORs were 1.15 (1.04-1.27) in the aged 16-44 group, 1.23 (1.08-1.40) in the aged 45-64 group and 0.81 (0.68-0.96) in the aged ≥ 65 group.
Conclusions:
The prevalence of high risk of psychiatric morbidity decreased except in males < 65 years of age, who are more sensitive to the economic crisis.
