Studying the relationship between clinical features and mental health among late-onset myasthenia gravis patients

Figure 1 Hamilton anxiety rating and the Hamilton depression rating scores according to age of onset. A: The median (interquartile range) of Hamilton anxiety rating (HAM-A scale scores in early-onset and late-onset groups were 5 (5.5) and 8.5 (7.5), respectively. The HAM-A scale score was significantly higher in the late-onset group than early-onset group (P < 0.001); B: The Hamilton depression rating (HAM-D) score levels in early-onset and late-onset groups were 7 (8) and 10.5 (7.75), respectively. The HAM-D scale score was significantly higher in the late-onset group than early-onset group (P = 0.018). P value was calculated using Mann-Whitney U test.

Figure 2 Hamilton anxiety rating and the Hamilton depression rating scores according to age of onset and sex. A: The median (interquartile range) of Hamilton anxiety rating (HAM-A scale levels in late-onset groups were 3 (6), and 9 (8), respectively, and HAM-A scale scores were significantly higher in late-onset group than early-onset group in women (P < 0.001); B: The Hamilton depression rating (HAM-D) score levels in early-onset and late-onset groups were 7 (7) and 11 (10), respectively, and HAM-D scale score was significantly higher in late-onset group than early-onset group in women (P = 0.001). There were no significant differences in men for both HAM-A and HAM-D scale scores. P value was calculated using Mann-Whitney U test.
