    Notes: Abstract Background: Despite the worldwide relevance of obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) there are considerable differences in prevalence rates and gender ratios between the studies and a substantial lack of prevalence data on subclinical OCD. Moreover, data on quality of life and on psychosocial function of subjects with OCD and subclinical OCD in the general population are missing to date. Methods: German versions of the DMS-IV adapted Composite International Diagnostic Interview were administered to a representative sample of 4075 persons aged 18–64 years living in a northern Germany region. Specific DSM-IV based criteria for subclinical OCD were used. Results: The life-time prevalence rates for OCD and subclinical OCD were 0.5% and 2%, respectively. Twelve month prevalence rates were 0.39% and 1.6%, respectively. The gender female:male ratio was 5.7 in OCD and 1.2 in subclinical OCD. In various measures of psychosocial function and quality of life, OCD and subclinical OCD were significantly impaired. However, subclinical OCD subjects did not visit mental health professionals more often than controls. Conclusion: Due to different epidemiological characteristics subclinical OCD might represent a syndrome distinct from OCD which is also associated with significant impairments in personal and interpersonal functions and in quality of life.

    Description / Table of Contents: Abstract The present paper reports lifetime prevalence rates of mental disorders in the 18- to 64-year-old general population of a northern German region. A representative random sample from registration office files of 4,075 individuals was examined in personal interviews using the fully standardized and computerised “Munich Composite International Diagnostic Interview” (M-CIDI). The response rate was 70.2%. Individuals were classified according to the DSM-IV. Substance use disorders were most frequent with 25.8% followed by anxiety (15.1%), somatoform (12.9%), affective (12.3%), and eating disorders (0.7%). Disorders other than substance use were more frequent in women and less frequent in men. A trend toward less psychiatric morbidity exists in individuals with higher educational level, higher income, and those who are married or reside in rural communities. Of all individuals affected by mental disorders, 42% fulfilled the criteria for at least one additional disorder. The results are discussed against the background of selected previous studies.
    Notes: Zusammenfassung Im vorliegenden Beitrag werden Ergebnisse zur Lebenszeitprävalenz psychischer Störungen in der 18- bis 64-jährigen Allgemeinbevölkerung einer norddeutschen Region berichtet. 4.075 Personen einer zu 70,2% ausgeschöpften repräsentativen Einwohnermeldeamtsstichprobe wurden mit dem vollstandardisierten und computerisierten “Münchener Composite International Diagnostic Interview” (M-CIDI) in persönlichen Interviews untersucht. Die hier berichtete Klassifikation erfolgte auf Grundlage des DSM-IV. Störungen durch den Konsum psychotroper Substanzen stellten mit einer Lebenszeitprävalenz von 25,8% die häufigste Diagnosengruppe dar, gefolgt von Angststörungen (15,1%), somatoformen Störungen (12,9%), affektiven Störungen (12,3%) und Essstörungen (0,7%). Frauen waren dabei häufiger von nicht-substanzbezogenen psychischen Störungen betroffen und Männer häufiger von Substanzmissbrauch und -abhängigkeit. Es zeigt sich ein Trend zu geringerer psychiatrischer Morbidität bei Individuen mit höherer Schulbildung, höherem Einkommen, verheirateten Personen und Personen mit ländlichem Wohnsitz. 42% der Probanden mit einer Lebenszeitdiagnose erfüllten die Kriterien mindestens einer weiteren Störung. Die Ergebnisse werden im Kontext ausgewählter bisheriger Studien diskutiert.
