Course of compulsive hoarding and its relationship to life events
Open accessAbstract
BACKGROUND: Compulsive hoarding is a common and debilitating, yet poorly understood, condition characterized by excessive acquisition of and failure to discard a large number of objects, resulting in cluttered and often hazardous living conditions. The aim of this study was to examine the onset and course of compulsive hoarding, and the relationships between stressful or traumatic life events and course of illness. METHODS: Seven hundred fifty-one adults with self-reported hoarding symptoms completed an online survey regarding the severity of hoarding behavior over the lifespan and the incidence of stressful or traumatic life events. RESULTS: Median age of onset was between 11 and 15 years, with most respondents reporting symptom onset before age 20. Late-onset (e.g., after age 40) hoarding was rare. Most respondents described a chronic course of illness, with a significant minority describing an increasing or relapsing/remitting course. Stressful and traumatic events were common in this sample; changes in relationships and interpersonal violence were disproportionately associated temporally with periods of symptom onset or exacerbation. CONCLUSIONS: These results highlight the chronic nature of compulsive hoarding, its associated public health burden, and the potential impact of life stressors on symptom development. Directions for further research are discussed.

Hoarding tends to be a chronic problem.
“Therefore, our findings are consistent with previous research which suggests that panic buying is an acute response which subsides after a disaster (Yuen et al., 2020), while hoarding tends to be a chronic problem (Tolin et al., 2010).”

“Participants scored in the clinical range for detecting hoarding on both the HRS-SR([24]) and OCI-R.([25]) Ninety-four percent of the sample scored 14 or greater on the HRS-SR; this cutoff reliably distinguishes those with clinically significant hoarding from those without hoarding.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
