Prevalence of functional somatic syndromes (FSS) in the general population varies with observed overlap between syndromes. However, studies including a range FSS are sparse. We investigated prevalence and characteristics various unifying diagnostic construct bodily distress syndrome (BDS), identified mutual their BDS. included stratified subsample 1590 adults from randomly selected Danish sample (n = 7493). Telephonic interviews performed by three trained physicians were used to identify...
Objective. Alcohol is the most acknowledged risk factor for liver cirrhosis. Smoking rarely considered to be a cause of cirrhosis even though few studies have suggested opposite. The aim this study was assess independent effect smoking on alcoholic and in general. Materials methods. authors used data from Copenhagen City Heart Study including cohort 9889 women 8590 men Danish general population. covariates were assessed at four consecutive examinations 1976–78, 1981–83, 1991–94 2001–03....
Aims: Little is known about the prevalence and characteristics of functional somatic syndromes (FSS) such as irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), fibromyalgia (FM), chronic fatigue (CFS), whiplash associated disorders (WAD), multiple chemical sensitivity (MCS), bodily distress (BDS) in general population when they are investigated simultaneously. Method: This cross-sectional study based on Danish Study Functional Disorders (DanFunD) cohort consisting 9656 adults from population. FSS BDS were...
Background To examine whether maternal alcohol intake, including binge drinking (intake ≥5 drinks, equivalent to 60 g pure ethanol on a single occasion), is associated with autistic spectrum disorders (ASD) and infantile autism.
Abstract Introduction Alcohol use disorders (AUD) are under‐treated, particularly among older adults. Using data from national treatment registers can expand knowledge on the AUD rate adults and potential biases in receipt. The aim of this paper was to determine prevalence investigate sociodemographic, health‐related substance use‐related correlates receipt with different degrees problematic alcohol use. Methods study sample ( n = 13,403; inclusion criteria: age 55–80 years, positive CAGE‐C)...
A high number of somatic symptoms have been associated with poor health status and increased care use. Previous studies focused on without considering the specific symptoms. The aim study was to investigate 1) prevalence 19 symptoms, 2) associations between 3) self-perceived limitations due physical accounting for co-occurrence Information achieved from a population-based questionnaire survey 36,163 randomly selected adults in Capital Region Denmark 2006/07. Chain graph models were used...
Background: To examine the association between age at drinking onset and subsequent binge drinking, to whether there are differences in this four countries. Methods: The data consisted of 68 539 women aged 18–47 years randomly selected from general population Denmark, Iceland, Norway Sweden. Frequency defined as consuming >6 U alcohol same occasion once or more per month, debut were assessed through a questionnaire survey. Results: Overall, 12–26% reported month Median for starting was 16...
Objectives: Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is associated with increased healthcare use and work absenteeism. We aimed to investigate long-term of services social benefits across IBS symptom groups. Additionally, we estimated excess costs. Methods: A longitudinal population-based study comprising two 5-year follow-up studies: The Danish part the Multinational Monitoring Trends Determinants in Cardiovascular Disease (Dan-MONICA) 1 (1982-1987) Inter99 (1999-2004) recruited from western...
Purpose: The aim of this study was to identify and describe somatic symptom profiles in the general adult population order enable further epidemiological research within multiple symptoms. Methods: Information on 19 self-reported common symptoms achieved from a population-based questionnaire survey 36,163 randomly selected adults Capital Region Denmark (55.4% women). participants stated whether they had been considerably bothered by each 14 days prior answering questionnaire. We used latent...
The Danish Study of Functional Disorders (DanFunD) approaches functional somatic disorders (FSD) with three delimitations: Five syndromes (FSS), Bodily Distress Syndrome (BDS), and eight data-driven symptom profiles (SP). This paper presents each delimitation discusses optimal for further original research into FSD epidemiology.A total 9656 adults from the general population participated in this cross-sectional study. Case assignment delimitations was based on self-reported questionnaires....
Introduction: Light-to-moderate alcohol drinking is associated with a decreased risk of ischaemic heart disease (IHD). However, heavily and in binges has been suggested to increase IHD risk. This complexity makes the issue binge within light-to-moderate range an important area for further investigation. Methods: population-based cohort study included 26,786 men women who participated Danish National Cohort Study 1994, 2000, 2005. Binge (defined >5 drinks/day) all-cause mortality was...
Background: Persistent physical symptoms (e.g. pain, fatigue) are prevalent in the population and some persons may develop a functional somatic disorder (FSD). We still need to explore limits between general bodily sensations FSD, great controversies exist as regard delimitation, occurrence, risk factors, prognosis, costs of FSD population. This is mainly due lack focused, sufficient powered, population-based epidemiological studies. Material Methods: The DanFunD study largest focused on has...
Objective Functional gastrointestinal (GI) symptoms can develop into persistent states often categorised as the irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). In severe end of GI symptom continuum, other coexisting are common. We aimed to investigate continuum in relation mortality and development diseases, examine if had an influence on outcomes. Material methods A longitudinal population-based study comprising two 5-year follow-up studies: Dan-Monica1 (1982–1987) Inter99 (1999–2004). IBS was defined...
Objective: Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is associated with mental vulnerability, and half of patients report comorbid somatic symptoms. We aimed to investigate the relationship between an IBS symptom continuum subsequent development common disorders (CMDs) functional syndromes (FSSs). Methods study design: A longitudinal population-based comprising two 5-year follow-up studies, Dan-MONICA 1 (1982–1987) Inter99 (1999–2004), recruited from western part Copenhagen County.

Objectives It has been suggested that infections can trigger functional somatic disorders (FSD). However, current evidence is limited by inconsistent findings in smaller studies conducted clinical settings within selected populations and short follow-up times. We aimed to test the hypothesis former are associated with FSD using data from nationwide registries a large population-based cohort study, Danish Study of Functional Disorders study. Design cases were identified cross-sectional linked...
