Comorbid physical health burden of serious mental health disorders in 32 European countries.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Mental health disorders (MHDs) are associated with physical health disparities, but underlying excess risk and health burden have not yet been comprehensively assessed.

Objective

To assess the burden of comorbid physical health conditions (PHCs) across serious MHDs in Europe.

Methods

We estimated the relative prevalence risk of PHCs associated with alcohol use disorders (AUD), bipolar disorder (BD), depressive disorders (DD) and schizophrenia (SZ) across working-age populations of 32 European countries in 2019 based on a targeted literature review. Excess physical health burden was modelled using population-attributable fractions and country-level prevalence data.

Findings

We screened 10 960 studies, of which 41 were deemed eligible, with a total sam
