Aims: Individuals with diminished social connections are at higher risk of mental disorders, dementia, circulatory conditions and musculoskeletal conditions. However, evidence is limited by a disease-specific focus and no systematic examination of sex differences or the role of pre-existing mental disorders.
Methods: We conducted a cohort study using data on social disconnectedness (loneliness, social isolation, low social support and a composite measure) from the 2013 and 2017 Danish National Health Survey linked with register data on 11 broad categories of medical conditions through 2021.
Background: Breast cancer patients with low socioeconomic position (SEP) have a higher risk of recurrence and mortality. We examined the extent to which prior psychiatric medication impacted this association.
Methods: We conducted a cohort study of premenopausal women diagnosed with breast cancer in Denmark from 2002 to 2011 (n = 5847), linking data from Denmark's nationwide population-based health registries on breast cancer diagnosis, treatment, psychiatric medication prescriptions and SEP indicators (marital status, cohabitation, income, education and employment).
Importance: Research suggests an increase in mental disorder incidence in recent years, but this trend remains unexplained, and there is a lack of large studies based on a representative sample that investigate mental disorders over the full spectrum.
Objective: To explore sex- and age-specific incidence of any mental disorder and 19 specific disorders according to birth cohort and calendar period.
Design, Setting, And Participants: This was a population-based cohort study among 5 936 202 individuals aged 1 to 80 years living in Denmark at some point between January 1, 2004, and December 31, 2021.
Article Synopsis
- The study looked at how mental and substance use disorders affect people differently based on their education level in Denmark and Norway from 2011 to 2021.
- Researchers found that people with lower education experienced more serious issues, especially with disorders like schizophrenia and substance abuse.
- However, for disorders like eating, anxiety, and mood disorders, the differences were smaller between educated and less educated groups, but they made up a smaller part of the overall health problems.
People with physical diseases are reported to be at elevated risk of subsequent mental disorders. However, previous studies have considered only a few pairs of conditions, or have reported only relative risks. This study aimed to systematically explore the associations between physical diseases and subsequent mental disorders.
