在耶路撒冷的一项社区调查中，对慢性疾病之间的关联进行了评估，以确定相互相关的疾病群。观察到两组相互关联的疾病。第一类是冠心病、高血压、糖尿病及其并发症。第二类包括偏头痛和其他慢性疾病，其诊断主要基于主观症状。这些投诉为基础的障碍的存在与情绪症状的高患病率，报告的生活状况和频繁的医生访问的困难。为这一系列疾病设计适当的预防和治疗干预方案仍然是一个重要的挑战。
Associations between chronic disorders were appraised in a community survey in western Jerusalem to identify clusters of mutually related conditions. Two sets of interrelated diseases were observed. The 1st comprised coronary heart disease, hypertension, diabetes and their complications. The 2nd included migraine and other chronic disorders whose diagnosis was largely based on subjective symptoms. The presence of these complaint-based disorders was associated with a high prevalence of emotional symptoms, reported difficulties in the life situation and frequent doctor visits. The design of appropriate programs of preventive and therapeutic intervention for this cluster of disorders remains an important challenge.
