Autonomic arousal and heart rate variability in functional somatic disorder - a cross-sectional population-based study
Objective
The bodily distress syndrome (BDS) checklist has proven to be useful diagnostic aid and as screening tool for functional somatic disorder (FSD). It has been hypotheses that the symptoms clusters of the checklist represent autonomic activity. This study aims to investigate associations between autonomic activity (Heart rate variability, HRV) and somatic symptoms profiles measured by the BDS checklist and diagnoses of FSD based on interviews.
Methods
This cross-sectional population-based study included 6891 men and women aged 18–72 years. Somatic symptom profiles were measured by the 25-item BDS checklist, and five short-term HRV measures (MeanRR, RMSSD, LF, HF, and LF/HF) were obtained. In a stratified subsample (n = 1590), diagnoses of FSD was established by diagnostic interviews, performed by trained family physicians. Associations were tested with regression models. Measures of associations were mean difference with 95 % confidence intervals (CIs) for Mean RR and median ratio and 95 % CI for RMSS, LF, HF, and LF/HF.
Results
Overall, higher BDS checklist scores were associated with lower HRV, particularly reduced mean RR intervals (−0.86, 95 % CI: −0,24;-0,49 for the total sum score). The strongest associations were seen for the cardiopulmonary symptom cluster (−3.58, 95 % CI: −0,05;-2.10). Clinically diagnosed FSD cases also showed lower mean RR compared to non-cases (−23.12, 95 % CI: −41.17;-5.07), especially the multi-organ type (−39.44, 95 % CI: −75.49;-3.39).
Conclusions
The study indicate that the symptom clusters of the BDS checklist are associated with autonomic arousal as measured by HRV. Further that individuals with FSD, especially the multi-organ type, had an increased sympathetic neural and neurohormonal activity, suggesting this may be an important physiological mechanism in FSD.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Psychosomatic Research is a multidisciplinary research journal covering all aspects of the relationships between psychology and medicine. The scope is broad and ranges from basic human biological and psychological research to evaluations of treatment and services. Papers will normally be concerned with illness or patients rather than studies of healthy populations. Studies concerning special populations, such as the elderly and children and adolescents, are welcome. In addition to peer-reviewed original papers, the journal publishes editorials, reviews, and other papers related to the journal''s aims.
