Demographic and Life Styles Determinants of Somatic Complaint's Structures: A Cross‐sectional Study on a Large Sample of Iranian Adults Using Factor Mixture Model
Abstract:
Background
To identify somatic complaints dimensions, classify studied population and study the association of demographic and lifestyle factors with somatic complaints dimensions.
Methods
In a cross‑sectional study conducted on 4763 Iranian adults, somatic complaints were assessed using a comprehensive 30‑item questionnaire. Self‑administered standard questionnaires were used to assess demographic and lifestyle factors. Factor mixture modeling (FMM) was used to identify somatic complaints dimensions and classify studied population.
Results
The mean age of participants was 36.58 ± 0.13 years, 55.8% were females, 81.2% were married, and 57.2% had college education. About 9.4% of individuals were obese, and 34.8% of participants had regular physical activity. Four domains of somatic complaints were extracted, including “psychological,” “gastrointestinal,” “neuro‑skeletal,” and “pharyngeal‑respiratory.” Females, obese and inactive participants, and those in low educations had significantly greater scores in terms of four domains than the others (P
Conclusions
This study suggested that somatic complaints had a dimensional‑categorical structure within studied population so that it could be useful for dealing with diagnostic and therapeutic approaches. The results did not show any association between somatic complaints dimensions and demographic, lifestyle factors, except in educational level.
