The response rate was 78.1% . One- year prevalence of hand eczema among women varied between 1.9% and 10.8% , with the highest figure among those aged 30- 39 years. The corresponding figures for men were 2.3% and 5.6% , with the highest figure among those aged 20- 29 years. Lifetime prevalence varied between 5.7% and 16.7% among women and between 5.2% and 9.5% among men. Using multiple logistic regression analysis female sex (OR=1.91, 95% CI 1.47- 2.47)- and smoking (OR=1.35, 95% CI 1.04- 1.75) were independent risk factors for reporting 1- year prevalence of hand eczema, whereas age (OR=0.99, 95% CI 0.97- 0.99) was inversely related to the 1- year prevalence of hand eczema. Aggregated risk occupation or categorized occupation such as medical and nursing work, production or service were not significantly associated with 1- year prevalence of hand eczema.展开更多

Methods: The Mood Disorder Questionnaire (MDQ), a validated screening instrument for bipolar I and II symptoms, in conjunction with questions about current health problems, was sent to a sample of 127,800 people selected to represent the US adult population on selected demographic variables. A total of 85,358 subjects (66.8%) aged 18 or older returned the survey and had usable data. Subjects who identified themselves as having epilepsy were compared to those with migraine, asthma, diabetes mellitus, or a healthy comparison group with regard to relative lifetime prevalence rates of bipolar symptoms and past clinical diagnoses of an affective disorder. Results: Bipolar symptoms, evident in 12.2%of epilepsy patients, were 1.6 to 2.2 times more common in subjects with epilepsy than with migraine, asthma, or diabetes mellitus, and 6.6 times more likely to occur than in the healthy comparison group. A total of 49.7%of patients with epilepsy who screened positive for bipolar symptoms were diagnosed with bipolar disorder by a physician, nearly twice the rate seen in other disorders. However, 26.3%of MDQ positive epilepsy subjects carried a diagnosis of unipolar depression, and 25.8%had neither a uni-nor bipolar depression diagnosis. Conclusion: Bipolar symptoms occurred in 12%of community-based epilepsy patients, and at a rate higher than in other medical disorders. One quarter were unrecognized.展开更多
