本研究的目的是验证生理和精神障碍之间存在正相关这一假设。这项研究旨在减少潜在的偏见来源，方法包括对全科医生人群进行随机抽样；使用客观方法和严格的诊断标准对身体和精神状态进行独立评估；以及使用对照组。结果表明，这一假设得到了证实，而且这两种类型的障碍在某些个体中都出现了“聚集”。
Synopsis The purpose of this study was to test the hypothesis that there is a positive association between physical and psychiatric disorder. The study was designed to reduce potential sources of bias and the approach included random sampling of a general practice population; independent assessments of the physical and psychiatric states using objective methods and strict criteria for diagnosis; and the use of a control group. The results suggest that the hypothesis is confirmed and furthermore that ‘clustering’ of both types of disorder occurred in some individuals.
