Factor analysis of unexplained severe fatigue and interrelated symptoms: overlap with criteria for chronic fatigue syndrome
Article Abstract:
Long periods of unexplained fatigue may point to chronic fatigue syndrome. Using factor analysis, researchers classified the reponses of 1,510 adults following a telephone survey. Severe fatigue lasting six months or longer overlapped with criteria published for the diagnosis of chronic fatigue syndrome. These health dimensions were fatigue-mood-cognition, symptoms resembling influenza, and visual impairment.

Article Abstract:
