The first was a nationwide cross-sectional mental health study in 2002–2006 that estimated that 0.56% of all households had at least one ongoing hikikomori case. In Japan, there have been three national surveys of hikikomori among the general population. There have been few epidemiological studies of hikikomori that use community samples. Although the phenomenon is thought to be distinguishable from mental illness, new guidelines have warned that mental health problems, such as schizophrenia, may have been underdiagnosed ( 1). The term refers to both the condition itself and the people who suffer from it. The term hikikomori refers to a social condition in which people avoid social participation and having relationships with people besides family members by confining themselves to a room or the house for 6 months and more. Hikikomori people are more likely to be male, have a history of dropping out from education, and have a previous psychiatric treatment history. This is the first study to show that hikikomori is associated with interpersonal relationships, followed by suicide risks. The multiple logistic regression analyses revealed that interpersonal relationships were significantly associated with hikikomori across three models (Model 1 adjusting for all basic characteristics, OR = 2.30, 95% CI = 1.92–2.76 Model 2 further adjusting for mental health-related factors, OR = 2.1, 95% CI = 1.64–2.68 Model 3 further adjusting for a previous psychiatric treatment history, OR = 1.95, 95% CI = 1.52–2.51). 001) and to have a psychiatric treatment history compared with non-hikikomori (37.9% vs 5%, p <. The hikikomori group was more likely to drop out of education ( p <. Significantly more men were in the hikikomori group (65.5%) than in the non-hikikomori group (47.3%). There were fewer hikikomori people in neighborhoods filled with business and service industries.
Its prevalence was 1.8% ( n = 58), and 41% had been in the hikikomori state for more than 3 years. The chi-square test and multiple logistic regression were used in the analysis. Data were obtained from the Survey of Young People’s Attitudes of 5,000 residents (aged 15–39 years) who were randomly selected from 200 urban and suburban municipalities in Japan in February 2010. Therefore, this study aimed to identify the associated basic characteristics and psychiatric factors of hikikomori.
There have been few population studies of hikikomori (that is, prolonged social withdrawal and isolation), and the basic correlating factors of hikikomori are yet to be identified.
