Weight and height were measured and lifestyle and demographic factors were self-reported. Logistic regression models (odds ratios with 95% confidence intervals) were undertaken to investigate associations among groups (mental state disorders, co-occurring mental state disorders with PD, and controls) and the WHOQOL-BREF domains (physical, psychological, social, and environmental health) while testing for potential confounding. Results: Results indicated that mental state disorders were associated with increased risk of low quality of life in physical, psychological, social, but not environmental domains, compared to controls. This risk was increased among women with co-occurring PD across all domains compared to both controls and those with mental state disorders. Conclusion: These findings add evidence suggesting poor quality of life is experienced by those with mental state disorders, and that this is worsened by the experience of co-occurring PD.]]> Wed 26 Oct 2022 12:00:30 AEDT ]]> A brief review of exercise, bipolar disorder, and mechanistic pathways https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:22895 Wed 11 Apr 2018 09:57:00 AEST ]]> The Added Burden of Personality Disorder on Subsidized Australian Health Service Utilization Among Women With Mental State Disorder https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:53737 Wed 10 Jan 2024 11:31:34 AEDT ]]>
