Co-occurrence of depressive anxiety and somatic symptoms: trajectories from adolescence to midlife using group-based joint trajectory analysis

摘要

BackgroundCo-occurrence of mental and somatic symptoms is common, and recent longitudinal studies have identified single trajectories of these symptoms, but it is poorly known whether the symptom trajectories can also co-occur and change across the lifespan. We aimed to examine co-occurring symptoms and their joint trajectories from adolescence to midlife.
