Abstract

Purpose: Mental illness and obesity (MH-OB) may co-occur in adolescence and have a strong risk to track into adulthood. Using an intersectional framework, we explored associations between ethnic-sexual identities and MH-OB comorbidity in adolescents. We examined the risk of self-harm (SH) and attempted suicide (AS) by comorbidity status and ethnic-sexual identities.

Methods: Participants included 9,789 adolescents (aged 17 years) from the UK-wide Millennium Cohort Study with data on self-identified ethnicity and sexuality. Participants were categorised as White-heterosexual, White-sexual minority (SM), Ethnic Minority (EM) heterosexual or EM-SM adolescents. We used multivariable logistic regression to examine associations between 1.dual ethnic-sexual identities and MH-OB comorbidity, 2.risk for self-harm (or attempted suicide) in relation to comorbidity and ethnic-sexual identities (including interactions between the comorbidity and ethnic-sexual identities variables to assess whether risk for self-harm differed by ethnic-sexual identities and comorbidity status).

Results: Comorbidity was higher among White-SM (OR = 3.73, 95%CI 2.42-5.75) and EM-SM (OR = 1.96, 1.03-3.73) adolescents. SM identities (OR = 3.02, 2.41-3.78 for White-SM) and having comorbidity (OR = 2.83, 2.03-3.95) were independently associated with SH or AS. Risk of SH among White-heterosexual individuals was greater among comorbid individuals (40%) relative to non-comorbid individuals (19%). Risk of SH was higher in SM individuals (58% vs. 41% in White-SM and 50% vs. 29% in EM-SM individuals with and without comorbidity, respectively). Risk of AS was 5% and 19% in comorbid and non-comorbid White-heterosexual individuals, respectively; the corresponding figures for White-SM individuals were 14% and 17%.

Conclusion: Irrespective of ethnicity, SM adolescents have a significantly greater risk of SH and AS. Comorbidity further amplifies this risk.

英国青少年在心理健康-肥胖并发症、自残和自杀未遂方面的种族和性取向不平等。

目的：精神疾病和肥胖症（MH-OB）可能会在青少年时期同时发生，并有很大的风险会延续到成年期。我们采用交叉框架，探讨了青少年的种族-性别认同与精神疾病和肥胖症之间的关联。我们根据合并症状况和种族-性别身份研究了自残（SH）和自杀未遂（AS）的风险：研究对象包括英国千年队列研究（Millennium Cohort Study）中的 9789 名青少年（17 岁），他们都有自我认同的种族和性行为数据。参与者被分为白人异性恋、白人性少数群体（SM）、少数民族异性恋或少数民族性少数群体青少年。我们使用多变量逻辑回归法研究了 1.双重种族-性身份与 MH-OB 合并症之间的关联，2.与合并症和种族-性身份有关的自残（或自杀未遂）风险（包括合并症和种族-性身份变量之间的交互作用，以评估自残风险是否因种族-性身份和合并症状况而异）：白人-SM（OR = 3.73，95%CI 2.42-5.75）和EM-SM（OR = 1.96，1.03-3.73）青少年的合并症较高。SM身份（OR = 3.02，白人-SM为2.41-3.78）和合并症（OR = 2.83，2.03-3.95）与SH或AS独立相关。在白人异性恋者中，合并症患者的 SH 风险（40%）高于非合并症患者（19%）。SM人群的SH风险更高（白人-SM人群的SH风险分别为58%和41%，有合并症和无合并症的EM-SM人群的SH风险分别为50%和29%）。有合并症和无合并症的白人异性恋者的AS风险分别为5%和19%；白人-SM者的相应数字分别为14%和17%：结论：无论种族如何，SM 青少年患 SH 和 AS 的风险明显更高。合并症会进一步增加这种风险。

期刊介绍： Social Psychiatry and Psychiatric Epidemiology is intended to provide a medium for the prompt publication of scientific contributions concerned with all aspects of the epidemiology of psychiatric disorders - social, biological and genetic. In addition, the journal has a particular focus on the effects of social conditions upon behaviour and the relationship between psychiatric disorders and the social environment. Contributions may be of a clinical nature provided they relate to social issues, or they may deal with specialised investigations in the fields of social psychology, sociology, anthropology, epidemiology, health service research, health economies or public mental health. We will publish papers on cross-cultural and trans-cultural themes. We do not publish case studies or small case series. While we will publish studies of reliability and validity of new instruments of interest to our readership, we will not publish articles reporting on the performance of established instruments in translation. Both original work and review articles may be submitted.
