RESUMEN
Los datos epidemiológicos del Trastorno Ansiedad Generalizada (TAG) son relativamente escasos en niños y adolescentes. Este estudio pretende determinar la prevalencia y comorbilidad del TAG en una muestra de adolescentes escolares de la provincia de Valencia. La población evaluada, con edades comprendidas entre 12 y 16 años (14.04 ± 1.22), procedía de centros con Enseñanza Secundaria Obligatoria. Diseño transversal, empleando una entrevista diagnóstica (K-SADS) llevada a cabo por profesionales de salud mental, en una única intervención. La muestra definitiva, 962 participantes, presentaba una prevalencia global del TAG del 3% (2,4% varones; 3,7% mujeres). La prevalencia era máxima, para ambos grupos, a los 14 años de edad. El 58% de los participantes con TAG presentaban, al menos, otro diagnóstico psiquiátrico siendo el más frecuente el de otro trastorno de ansiedad (48,3%). Los niveles de prevalencia y comorbilidad obtenidos, en ausencia de datos previos en nuestro entorno, son similares a los descritos en otros medios; por ello, su detección precoz permitiría una intervención temprana
ABSTRACT
The epidemiological data on Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD) are relatively scant in children and adolescents. This study attempts to determine the prevalence and comorbidity of GAD in a sample of adolescent schoolchildren from the province of Valencia. The study population, aged from 12 to16 years(14.04 ± 1.22), came from a series of secondary schools. The study has a crossover design, using a diagnostic interview (K-SADS) conducted by mental health professionals with a single intervention. The prevalence rate for GAD in the final sample of 962 individuals was 3% (2.4% males; 3.7% females). Prevalence was highest for both groups at 14 years of age. Of the participants with GAD, 58% had at least one other psychiatric diagnosis, the most common being another anxiety disorder (48.3%). The prevalence and comorbidity rates found, in the absence of any prior data in our environment, are similar to those described in other settings; therefore, early detection would allow early intervention
