[Anxiety disorders as psychological personality characteristics in patients with rheumatoid arthritis].
OBJECTIVE
To study types of anxious disorders (AD) in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and AD correlations with clinicolaboratory indices.


METHODS
80 RA patients and 38 healthy subjects have undergone MMPI test.


RESULTS
95% of the examinees were found to have AD which seem to form in active participation of psychoemotional factors. Development of AD was characterised by internal strain, emotional stress, anxiodepressive conditions. Psychological profiles of AD patients were analysed. No correlations were found with clinicolaboratory indices: Additional correlations exist between the MMPI scales in AD.


CONCLUSIONS
AD in RA patients may result in vegetative dysfunctions.
