    The American Journal of Medicine
    |September 29, 1986
    PubMed
    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    This study found a link between fibrositis and depression, with depression often appearing before fibrositis symptoms. This suggests a potential psychobiologic connection rather than a direct cause-and-effect relationship.

    Area of Science:

    • Rheumatology
    • Psychiatry
    • Epidemiology

    Background:

    • Previous research has inconsistently reported associations between fibrositis and psychological disorders.
    • Variations in patient populations and methodologies contribute to conflicting findings in prior studies.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the association between fibrositis and psychological disorders, specifically depression.
    • To explore the temporal relationship between depression and fibrositis onset.

    Main Methods:

    • Utilized the Diagnostic Interview Schedule (DIS) for data collection.
    • Compared 82 patients diagnosed with fibrositis to a control group.
    • Assessed the prevalence of depression in patients and their first-degree relatives.

    Main Results:

    • A significant association was found between fibrositis and depression.
    • Depression was more prevalent in first-degree relatives of fibrositis patients.
    • In most cases, depression preceded the onset of fibrositis by over a year.

    Conclusions:

    • The findings suggest a potential psychobiologic association between depression and fibrositis.
    • Depression may be a risk factor or a related condition rather than a direct consequence of fibrositis.
    • Further research is warranted to elucidate the complex relationship between psychological factors and fibrositis.
