The aim of this population\u2010based study is to examine mental disorders, depressivity, psychological distress, perceived health and quality of life among women and men who have experienced infertility. <jats:italic>Design.<\/jats:italic> Cross\u2010sectional nationwide Health 2000 Survey. <jats:italic>Setting.<\/jats:italic> Population\u2010based. <jats:italic>Population.<\/jats:italic> A representative random sample of Finnish people aged 30\u201344 years (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic> = 2291). <jats:italic>Methods.<\/jats:italic> Outcomes were compared between those who had experienced infertility (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic> = 338) and the rest of the population. Age, marital status, education, income, body mass index, and smoking were controlled for using logistic and linear regressions. <jats:italic>Main outcome measures.<\/jats:italic> Mental disorders (composite international diagnostic interview, CIDI), depressivity (beck depression inventory, BDI), psychological distress (general health questionnaire, GHQ\u201012), perceived health, and subjective quality of life. <jats:italic>Results.<\/jats:italic> Approximately 20% of women and 9% of men reported having experienced infertility. Childless women with infertility experience had increased adjusted risks for dysthymia (OR 3.41, 95% CI; 1.01\u201311.5) and anxiety disorders (2.67, 1.00\u20137.12) compared to women who had not experienced infertility. Women with infertility experience but with a current child had an increased risk for panic disorder (2.58, 1.11\u20136.01). Childless men with infertility experience had a significantly poorer quality of life compared to men without infertility. <jats:italic>Conclusions.<\/jats:italic> Infertility was associated with mental health, especially dysthymia and anxiety. The results differed by gender and the permanency of infertility. Gender\u2010specific psychosocial support and follow\u2010up for infertile people is warranted.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3109\/00016341003623746","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2010,3,3]],"date-time":"2010-03-03T07:27:38Z","timestamp":1267601258000},"page":"677-682","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":158,"title":["Infertility, mental disorders and well\u2010being \u2013 a nationwide survey"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"89","author":[{"given":"REIJA","family":"KLEMETTI","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"JANI","family":"RAITANEN","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"SINIKKA","family":"SIHVO","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"SAMULI","family":"SAARNI","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"P\u00c4IVIKKI","family":"KOPONEN","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2010,12,31]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_6_2_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0277-9536(00)00317-8"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_3_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ejogrb.2007.05.009"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_4_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/humrep\/dem046"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_5_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/humrep\/dem369"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_6_2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1697","DOI":"10.1016\/S0277-9536(97)00102-0","article-title":"Infertility and psychological distress: a critical review of the literature","volume":"45","author":"Greil AI","year":"1997","journal-title":"Soc Sci Med"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_7_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/humupd\/dml040"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_8_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0277-9536(02)00069-2"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_9_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/humrep\/del327"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_10_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/humupd\/dmm019"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_11_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/humrep\/17.11.2986"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_12_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/humrep\/16.7.1420"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_13_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/humrep\/14.1.255"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_14_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0022-3999(02)00398-7"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_15_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0277-9536(02)00221-6"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_16_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/humrep\/deh414"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_17_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/humrep\/16.2.374"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_18_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/humrep\/den154"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_19_2","volume-title":"Methodology report.
