- Asociación de comorbilidades y funcionamiento global en hijos de padres con trastorno bipolar Alfredo Licona-Martínez Lino Palacios-Cruz Miriam Feria-Aranda Patricia Zavaleta-Ramírez Alejandro Vargas-Soberanis Claudia Becerra-Palars Francisco de la Peña-Olvera Medicina function Key words Offsprings comorbidity bipolar disorder The presence of a psychiatric disorder in parents is associated with increased frequency of psychopathology in their offsprings. Children of parents diagnosed with bipolar disorder (BD) are at greater risk and lower function. However, it has not yet been determined precisely which clinical and sociodemographic factors are associated with the presentation of psychiatric disorders in this group of children and ado - lescents at risk. Under this framework, the aim of this study was to de - termine the clinical and sociodemographic variables associated with a lower function. We recruited 61 children and adolescents with ages ranging from six to 17. All of them were the children of parents with BD who were patients attended at the National Institute of Psychiatry Ramón de la Fuente Muñiz. Clinical evaluation was developed by the Kiddie Schedule for Affective Disorders and Schizophrenia for School- Age Children Present and Lifetime Version (K-SADS-PL), and Children ́s Global Assesment Scale (C-GAS) scale was used to established the overall functioning. Of the 61 evaluated 62.3% were women, the lowest function (defined by <81 points C-GAS) was found in 44.3% of women vs. 18% men ( χ 2 =3.2 , p<0.043). Comorbidity with major depressive disorder or attention deficit hyperactivity disorder or op - positional defiant disorder conferred ten times greater risk of lower global function. Being a woman gives three times higher risk for a lower global function. Conclusion We found that the comorbid externalizing disorders and depression, as well as the female gender characteristics are linked to lower func - tion in children and adolescents of parents with BD. 2014 artículo científico 0185-3325 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=58229962002 es http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=582 Salud Mental application/pdf Instituto Nacional de Psiquiatría Ramón de la Fuente Muñiz Salud Mental (México) Num.1 Vol.37
