Disability Associated with Comorbid Anxiety Disorders in Women with Chronic Physical Illness in Ontario, Canada
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Anxiety disorders are more prevalent in individuals with chronic physical illness compared to individuals with no such illness, and about twice as prevalent in women as in men. This study used data collected in the 2005 Canadian Community Health Survey (21,198 women and 20,478 men) to examine factors associated with comorbid anxiety disorders and to assess the relation of these disorders on short-term disability and suicidal ideation. Comorbid anxiety disorders were more prevalent among women who were young, single, poor, and Canadian-born, and among women with chronic fatigue syndrome; fibromyalgia, bowel disorder or stomach or intestinal ulcers, or bronchitis had the highest rates of anxiety disorders. The presence of comorbid anxiety disorders was significantly associated with short-term disability, requiring help with instrumental daily activities, and suicidal ideation. Our findings underscore the importance of early detection and treatment of anxiety disorders in the physically ill, especially those who also suffer from mood disorders.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
