本文探讨了激越和医学和精神病学诊断之间的关系。以攻击性行为为特征的躁动（例如，打、踢）与痴呆和日常生活活动障碍有关。身体上的非攻击性行为（例如，起搏、不适当地脱衣服）与认知障碍、较少的医疗诊断和没有听力损失相关。言语激动行为（例如，不断抱怨）的居民表现为身体诊断，精神疾病（精神分裂症和情感障碍除外），更多报告疼痛，以及比整体人口更高的认知功能。
This paper examines the relationship between agitation and medical and psychiatric diagnoses. Agitation marked by aggressive behaviors (e.g., hit, kick) was related to dementia and impairments in activities of daily living. Physically nonaggressive behaviors (e.g., pacing, disrobing inappropriately) correlated with cognitive impairment, fewer medical diagnoses, and absence of a hearing loss. Verbally agitated behaviors (e.g., constant complaints) were manifested by residents with more physical diagnoses, mental disease (other than schizophrenia and affective disorders), more reported pain, and higher cognitive functioning than the population as a whole.
