Although misophonia is common, the aetiology, prevalence and effective treatments are largely unknown.<\/jats:p>\n\t  <\/jats:sec>\n\t  <jats:sec id=\"S2056472421009789_sec_a2\">\n\t    <jats:title>Aims<\/jats:title>\n\t    <jats:p>Based on our proposed diagnostic criteria, we examined the prevalence of misophonia and its relationship with clinical and demographic variables in a large representative population sample.<\/jats:p>\n\t  <\/jats:sec>\n\t  <jats:sec id=\"S2056472421009789_sec_a3\" sec-type=\"methods\">\n\t    <jats:title>Method<\/jats:title>\n\t    <jats:p>We used a household sample (<jats:italic>N<\/jats:italic> = 541) of all residents aged &gt;15 years, living in 300 homes randomly selected in Ankara city centre, Turkey. All participants were assessed at their homes by trained interviewers, for sociodemographic variables, misophonic sounds and related factors, using a semi-structured interview (the Misophonia Interview Schedule) developed for the current research.<\/jats:p>\n\t  <\/jats:sec>\n\t  <jats:sec id=\"S2056472421009789_sec_a4\" sec-type=\"results\">\n\t    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n\t    <jats:p>The current misophonia diagnosis prevalence was 12.8% (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic> = 69 of 541), although 427 (78.9%) participants reported at least one sound that was distressing. The mean number of misophonic sounds was 8.6 (s.d. 8.9, range 0\u201344); the figure was 17.6 in those with misophonia compared with 7.3 in those without misophonia. Of those with misophonia, only 5.8% contacted services for their condition. Predictors of misophonia diagnosis included younger age, family history of misophonia and previous contact with mental health services.<\/jats:p>\n\t  <\/jats:sec>\n\t  <jats:sec id=\"S2056472421009789_sec_a5\" sec-type=\"conclusions\">\n\t    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n\t    <jats:p>Our study showed that misophonia is common in the general population, may cause significant disruption in daily life and is undertreated. Although more evidence is needed to classify misophonia as a psychiatric disorder, our findings support others who claim that the condition belongs to the group of mental disorders.<\/jats:p>\n\t  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1192\/bjo.2021.978","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,8,6]],"date-time":"2021-08-06T08:12:47Z","timestamp":1628237567000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1017\/policypage","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":81,"title":["The prevalence and characteristics of misophonia in Ankara, Turkey: population-based study"],"prefix":"10.1192","volume":"7","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9270-8625","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Cengiz","family":"K\u0131l\u0131\u00e7","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"G\u00f6khan","family":"\u00d6z","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Kezban Burcu","family":"Avano\u011flu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Song\u00fcl","family":"Aksoy","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"170","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,8,6]]},"reference":[{"key":"S2056472421009789_ref13","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1371\/journal.pone.0231390"},{"key":"S2056472421009789_ref6","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.mehy.2017.05.003"},{"key":"S2056472421009789_ref18","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.bjorl.2017.06.014"},{"key":"S2056472421009789_ref5","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3389\/fnins.2018.00036"},{"key":"S2056472421009789_ref4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3389\/fnhum.2013.00296"},{"key":"S2056472421009789_ref1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1371\/journal.pone.0054706"},{"key":"S2056472421009789_ref3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3389\/fpsyg.2017.01975"},{"key":"S2056472421009789_ref9","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3390\/ijerph15071410"},{"key":"S2056472421009789_ref2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/B978-0-444-62630-1.00021-4"},{"key":"S2056472421009789_ref7","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/jclp.22098"},{"key":"S2056472421009789_ref10","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3390\/ijerph17155464"},{"key":"S2056472421009789_ref8","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jocrd.2017.05.001"},{"key":"S2056472421009789_ref16","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1176\/ajp.126.7.983"},{"key":"S2056472421009789_ref17","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/jclp.22500"},{"key":"S2056472421009789_ref14","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2147\/NDT.S81438"},{"key":"S2056472421009789_ref15","unstructured":"15 \u00d6z, G .
