This is mainly due to excess mortality among distressed men. Pekka Johannes Puustinen 1, Hannu Koponen, Hannu Kautiainen, Pekka Mäntyselkä, Mauno Vanhala.

Prospective studies should explore the potential causal association between neck pain and MetS and the potential common background factors of neck pain and MetS. Psychological distress measured by the GHQ-12 is associated with all-cause mortality risk during an 11-year observation time. This association was stronger in males, but the prevalence of neck pain was higher in females. Among women, no significant association was found. In the fully adjusted model with gender, age, socioeconomic status, BMI, smoking and physical activity, HR was 1.13 (95% CI: 1.04-1.22, p = 0.003). Castao-Betancourt MC, Evans DS, Ramos YFM. The hazard ratio (HR) increased by 16% for every GHQ-12 point (gender and age adjusted HR 1.16, 95% confidence interval (95% CI): 1.07-1.25, p < 0.001). Musculoskeletal pain in melancholic and atypical depression. There were 44 death events (27 men, 17 women) during the mean observation time of 11 years. Mortality data until 31 December 2009 were drawn from the national mortality register.

The GHQ-12 points were summed to a global score ranging from 0-12.

Psychological distress was measured using the 12-item General Health Questionnaire (GHQ-12). To examine whether persons with psychological distress have a greater risk of all-cause mortality in the Scandinavian population whether this association is gender-specific and what is the influence of socioeconomic status, body mass index (BMI) and health behaviour in this association.Ī total of 923 (414 male and 509 female) people, aged 36 to 56 years, participated in a population-based study from 1997-98 in Pieksämäki, Finland.
