Abstract:
Objective To investigate the psychological characteristics of the patients with functional dyspep-sia(FD). Methods The Zung serf-rating anxiety scale(SAS) and the Zung serf-rating depression scale(SDS) were employed to evaluate the anxiety mood and depression mood respectively of 110 FD patients ( group A) and 100 healthy volunteers (group B). The incidences of anxiety and depression in patients < 60 years and patients ≥60 years in group A were determined respectively. Results The anxiety ( 50.2±10.5 ) and depression scores ( 51.8±10.8)of group A were higher than group B [ (33.6±5.7) , ( 42.9±9.6) ] with a significant difference ( P<0.01 ). In group A, the anxiety incidence(66.0% ) in patients < 60 years was higher than patients ≥ 60 years (38.3%) ,while the de-pression incidence in patients ≥60 years(61.7% ) was higher than patients <60 years(42.0% ) ,both with signifi-cant differences ( all P<0.05 ). Conclusion FD patients show the psychological characteristics of anxiety and de-pression, and the characteristics type may vary in different age groups.
