“…IBDs have a higher prevalence of anxiety and depressive disorders than the general population, but a lower prevalence of these disorders than patients with functional bowel disorder 5 . The rate (21 -35%) is similar to the one found in other patients with chronic physical illness 37 . Depressive disorder appears to be more common in older patients and in those with a previous history of psychiatric disorder 38 .…”

Past Occupational Dust Exposure, Depressive Symptoms and Anxiety in Retired Chinese Factory Workers: The Guangzhou Biobank Cohort Study: Qiu‐Hong LIN, et al. Guangzhou No. 12 Hospital, Guangzhou Occupational Disease Prevention and Treatment Centre, P.R. China— Objective Few studies have systematically investigated the impact of past occupational dust exposure on mental health. We examined whether retired factory workers exposed to any of the 4 dusts of silica, cement, coal and asbestos had more depressive symptoms and anxiety in southern China, which has experienced rapid economic development. Methods We used data from the Guangzhou Biobank Cohort Study phase 3. Exposures, lifestyle, symptoms and medical history of the participants were assessed with a structured interview. Self‐reported intensity and duration of past occupational dust exposure were used to derive cumulative exposure. Outcome measures were assessed by the 15‐item Chinese version of the Geriatric Depression Scale (score ≥5) and the single‐item on anxiety. Results The results revealed that 359 workers were exposed to at least one of the 4 dusts and that 1,253 were unexposed (controls). After adjustment of multiple confounders, greater risks of depressive symptoms were associated with high exposure to silica (odds ratio (OR) of 3.12, 95% CI of 1.17−8.31) and asbestos (OR of 6.90; CI of 1.29−36.75). Risks of anxiety were higher in those with low or high exposures to dust (OR of 2.01 and CI of 1.04−3.87 and OR of 2.29 and CI of 1.30−4.03, respectively) and cement (OR of 3.20 and CI of 1.27−8.07 and OR of 2.30 and CI of 1.09−4.87, respectively), and those with high exposure to silica (OR of 5.29, CI of 1.76−15.92). Conclusions Past occupational exposures to silica, cement, coal and asbestos dusts were associated with adverse mental health outcomes in retired factory workers. The mechanism underlying the relationship between occupational exposures and psychological symptoms in later life needs to be further studied.

“…First, the target AF populations of most prior studies were selected from patients joining large clinical trials, being newly diagnosed, or visiting clinics for assistance Paquette et al 2000;van den Berg et al 2001;Kang and Bahler 2004;Jenkins et al 2005;Reynolds et al 2006;Roalfe et al 2012). It would be reasonable to estimate that these patients might be more anxious or depressed, which has been proven to be reversely associated with MCS (Creed et al 2002;Lim et al 2012). Second, most of the previous trials did not control the psychological status during the analysis.…”

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is currently recognized as one of the most common cardiac arrhythmias worldwide, with the increasing prevalence that has been estimated to be as high as 9% among the elderly. Healthrelated quality of life (HRQoL) has become an important patient-centered health outcome measurement, but the impacts created by AF and other arrhythmias with similar symptoms, such as frequent atrial and ventricular premature contractions (APCs and VPCs, defined as ≥ 3 beats/5 minutes), have not been extensively evaluated. The Yilan Study is a population-based community health survey, which in part aims to evaluate the prevalence and impacts of these arrhythmias on the HRQoL in a community dwelling elderly population. A total of 1,732 citizens from the Yilan, Taiwan, aged 65 years or older (45.8% male) were enrolled and visited at their homes, where HRQoL was measured utilizing the Short Form-12 Health Survey. Each participant's heart rhythm was recorded with an electrocardiographic monitor for 5 minutes. The results disclosed that the prevalence of AF of this aged population was 5.8%, similar to the mean global prevalence. Besides, the prevalence of frequent APCs and frequent VPCs in these elderly people were 7.1% and 5.5%, respectively. After multiple regression analysis, elderly people with AF had lower scores in the physical component of HRQoL, while those elderly people with frequent VPCs had lower scores in the mental component. Ultimately, these findings can provide additional useful and populationspecific information about AF, and assist medical professionals in designing more effective strategies for cardiac arrhythmia treatments.
