| Abstract |
Population-based studies investigating the relationship of arthritis with mental health outcomes are lacking, particularly among low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). We investigated the relationship between arthritis and mental health (depression spectrum, psychosis spectrum, anxiety, sleep disturbances and stress) across community-dwelling adults aged ≥18 years across 46 countries from the World Health Survey. Symptoms of psychosis and depression were established using questions from the Mental Health Composite International Diagnostic Interview. Severity of anxiety, sleep problems, and stress sensitivity over the preceding 30 days were self-reported. Self-report lifetime history of arthritis was collected, including presence or absence of symptoms suggestive of arthritis: pain, stiffness or swelling of joints over the preceding 12-months. Multivariable logistic regression analyses were undertaken. Overall, 245,706 individuals were included. Having arthritis increased the odds of subclinical psychosis (OR = 1.85; 95%CI = 1.72-1.99) and psychosis (OR = 2.48; 95%CI = 2.05-3.01). People with arthritis were at increased odds of subsyndromal depression (OR = 1.92; 95%CI = 1.64-2.26), a brief depressive episode (OR = 2.14; 95%CI = 1.88-2.43) or depressive episode (OR = 2.43; 95%CI = 2.21-2.67). Arthritis was also associated with increased odds for anxiety (OR = 1.75; 95%CI = 1.63-1.88), sleep problems (OR = 2.23; 95%CI = 2.05-2.43) and perceived stress (OR = 1.43; 95%CI = 1.33-1.53). Results were similar for middle-income and low-income countries. Integrated interventions addressing arthritis and mental health comorbidities are warranted to tackle this considerable burden. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 16. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 28 January 2018.
All research outputs
#2,022,118
of 23,308,124 outputs
Outputs from Scientific Reports
#18,304
of 125,973 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#40,971
of 318,369 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Scientific Reports
#859
of 6,017 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 23,308,124 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done particularly well and is in the 91st percentile: it's in the top 10% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 125,973 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 18.3. This one has done well, scoring higher than 85% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 318,369 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has done well, scoring higher than 87% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 6,017 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has done well, scoring higher than 85% of its contemporaries.
