Abstract: (385 Views)
Background: Hoarding disorder (HD) has been classified as a mental disorder in the diagnostic
and statistical manual of mental disorders, fifth edition (DSM-5). This disorder might have some
individual and social burden, and there has been limited data on the prevalence of HD in Iran.
Objectives: The present study aimed to investigate the prevalence of HD and its relationship with
the demographic characteristics in a nonclinical sample.
Materials & Methods: This was a descriptive cross-sectional study on people who accompanied
patients visiting hospitals in Rasht City, Iran, from November 2021 to February 2022. The
participants were evaluated with the demographic questionnaire and the saving inventory-revised
(SI-R) for measuring hoarding-related experiences.
Results: A total of 884 people with a Mean±SD of age 39.45±12.85 years participated in this study.
About 3.2% of participants had HD. Their mean hoarding scores had a significant difference in
terms of gender, level of education, and occupation (P<0.05). Still, the prevalence of HD had no
statistically significant difference (P>0.05) in terms of age, gender, marital status, level of education,
occupation, and place of residence.
Conclusion: Based on the present study, only 3.2% of participants suffered from HD. Although
in terms of gender, level of education, and occupation, a significant difference was observed in
hoarding scores, the prevalence of HD had no association with demographic characteristics.
