Additionally, comparisons between younger and older schoolchildren may shed light on developmental differences regarding the way in which physical conditions translate into conduct problems. The aim of the current study was to examine the incidence of psychosomatic complaints (PSC) in young and older adolescent boys and girls who also report conduct problems. A total of 3132 Swedish adolescents (age range 15\u201318 years, 47% boys) completed the Uppsala Life and Health Cross-Sectional Survey (LHS) at school. The LHS question scores were categorised by two researchers who independently identified questions that aligned with DSM-5 conduct disorder (CD) criteria and PSC. MANOVA assessed the effects of PSC, age, and gender on scores that aligned with the DSM criteria for CD. The main effects of gender, age, and PSC on the conduct problem scores were observed. Adolescents with higher PSC scores had higher conduct problem scores. Boys had higher serious violation of rules scores than girls, particularly older boys with higher PSC scores. Psychosomatic complaints could be a useful objective identifier for children and adolescents at risk of developing conduct disorders. This may be especially relevant when a reliance on a child\u2019s self-reporting of their behavior may not help to prevent a long-term disturbance to their quality of life.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/children9070963","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,6,27]],"date-time":"2022-06-27T22:31:14Z","timestamp":1656369074000},"page":"963","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Self-Reported Psychosomatic Complaints and Conduct Problems in Swedish Adolescents"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"9","author":[{"given":"Samantha J.","family":"Brooks","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Functional Pharmacology and Neuroscience, Department of Surgical Sciences, Uppsala University, 751 24 Uppsala, Sweden"},{"name":"Faculty of Health, School of Psychology, Liverpool John Moores University, Liverpool SE3 3AF, UK"},{"name":"Neuroscience Research Laboratory (NeuRL), Department of Psychology, School of Human and Community Development, University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg 2000, South Africa"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2747-1606","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Olga E.","family":"Titova","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Unit of Medical Epidemiology, Department of Surgical Sciences, Uppsala University, 751 24 Uppsala, Sweden"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5279-4514","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Emma L.","family":"Ashworth","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Health, School of Psychology, Liverpool John Moores University, Liverpool SE3 3AF, UK"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Simon B.
