本研究在非临床样本中检验了关节过度活动综合征与焦虑之间的关联。接受医学检查的受试者（N = 526）采用医院德尔马尔过度活动标准和状态-特质焦虑量表进行评估。患有关节过度活动综合征的受试者的特质焦虑和较小程度的状态焦虑评分显著高于未患该综合征的受试者（女性特质焦虑评分中位数：17比11;男性特质焦虑评分中位数：13比1）。这些研究结果表明，即使没有精神病诊断的受试者，关节过度活动综合征和焦虑的关联也成立。因此，这种良性结缔组织疾病似乎是特质焦虑的诱发因素。然而，有必要进一步探索和定义这种综合征的生物学基础，以及其相关性和临床表现，它们相互作用，具有很大的复杂性。
This study examines the association between joint hypermobility syndrome and anxiety in a non-clinical sample. Subjects (N = 526) receiving a medical check-up were assessed with the Hospital del Mar hypermobility criteria and the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory. Scores for trait anxiety and to a lesser extent state anxiety, were significantly higher among subjects with joint hypermobility syndrome than among subjects without this syndrome (median trait anxiety scores for women: 17 versus 11; median scores for men: 13 versus 1). These findings indicate that the association of joint hypermobility syndrome and anxiety holds even for subjects with no psychiatric diagnosis. Therefore, it seems that this benign connective tissue disorder is a predisposing factor for trait anxiety. However it is necessary to further explore and define the biological basis of this syndrome, as well as its associations and clinical expressions, which interact with great complexity.
