Sociodemographic and psychosocial correlates of fatigue and chronic fatigue: A cross-sectional study from a South East London community survey
Our findings highlight the high prevalence of fatigue and chronic fatigue in a representative urban community sample. Higher levels of fatigue were significantly associated with greater disability and formal and informal help-seeking. The quality of perceived social support is an important protective factor.
