BackgroundFew studies have evaluated the impact of spousal psychological distress on an individual's distress over time based on detailed measurements of mental status. Hence, we investigate the spillover effect of spousal psychological distress.MethodsThis cohort study included 11,819 individuals (men, 51.4 %), aged 50–59 (mean 54.7) years, selected from the Japanese nationally representative longitudinal study from 2005 to 2016. Participants were categorized according to their spousal score on the Kessler Psychological Distress Scale (K6) as follows: 0, 1–4, 5–8, 9–12, and 13–24. The incidence of at least moderate distress (K6 ≥ 5) or serious distress (K6 ≥ 13) was determined during follow-up. A complementary log-log discrete time hazard model was constructed.ResultsA total of 5912 and 857 cases of at least moderate and serious distress were identified, with follow-up durations of 72,669 and 105,515 person-years, respectively. Compared with the spousal K6 of 0 group, the multivariable hazard ratios (95 % confidence intervals) of at least moderate distress and serious distress were 1.13 (1.07–1.20) and 1.00 (0.85–1.18) for spousal K6 of 1–4, 1.29 (1.19–1.39) and 1.14 (0.93–1.40) for 5–8, 1.42 (1.26–1.60) and 1.28 (0.95–1.72) for 9–12, and 1.46 (1.22–1.73) and 2.14 (1.49–3.07) for 13–24, respectively. No significant sex differences were observed.LimitationsPsychological distress was based on self-reported data without diagnosis by psychiatrists.ConclusionsHigh spousal K6 score contributed to a subsequent higher incidence of one's own at least moderate and serious distress.
