一个简化的躯体化结构（躯体症状指数）来自诊断访谈计划的躯体化障碍项目进行了测试，对社区流行病学样本，以检查其患病率，危险因素和预测价值。该结构具有较高的患病率（范围为4.4%至20%，而完整的DSM-III躯体化障碍诊断为0.03%至0.7%），与较低的社会经济地位、女性性别、较年长的实际年龄和西班牙裔种族背景有关。这种结构的存在决定了优先使用医疗服务，并预测残疾指数高。躯体症状指数可能对躯体形式现象的临床和社区研究具有实际效用。
An abridged somatization construct (the Somatic Symptom Index) derived from the Diagnostic Interview Schedule''s somatization disorder items was tested on community epidemiological samples to examine its prevalence, risk factors, and predictive value. The construct had a high prevalence (range, 4.4% to 20% compared with .03% to 0.7% for the full DSM-III somatization disorder diagnosis), was related to low socioeconomic status, female gender, older chronological age, and Hispanic ethnic background. The presence of this construct determined preferential use of medical services and predicted high indices of disability. The Somatic Symptom Index may have practical utility for clinical and community studies of somatoform phenomena.
