The systematic review by Bates et al. (2021) explores the critical links between Hoarding Disorder (HD) and various accompanying medical conditions. It highlights that individuals with HD often experience obesity, diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, and respiratory issues. This study aims to clarify whether these health concerns are uniquely associated with HD or are merely coincidental. Utilizing PRISMA guidelines, the review analyzes relevant literature and finds a consistent pattern of poorer health outcomes among those with HD, emphasizing the need for a comprehensive approach to treatment.
The systematic review revealed a significant prevalence of medical conditions, including obesity and cardiovascular diseases, among those with Hoarding Disorder, highlighting a crucial connection.
Bates et al.'s research underscores a bidirectional relationship between Hoarding Disorder and physical health issues, amplifying concerns for effective treatment and intervention strategies.
