Odds Are That Gamblers Have More Health Problems

tion the presence of other disorders such as alcoholism, obesity, smoking and psychiatric illnesses, they found that problem and pathological gamblers were more likely to report angina and cirrhosis of the liver compared to at-risk or low-risk participants. Pathological gamblers were also more likely to have elevated heart rate and other liver diseases in addition to cirrhosis.

“Helping practitioners look at the broader issues — that gambling doesn’t occur in isolation — is a potential outcome of this research,” said Cynthia S. Kerber, Ph.D., of Illinois Wesleyan University. This could help lead to earlier detection and treatment, said Kerber, who was not involved with the study. “Individuals often don’t know when their gambling becomes a problem. So that makes it difficult for the individual to seek help and for health care providers to identify that it’s a problem for their patients.”

Petry says that her colleagues’ study brings pathological gambling into the medical domain. “Some people don’t take [gambling] as a serious problem. It’s regarded in the same way substance abuse was thirty years ago. Our study showed that pathological gamblers are getting sicker more and utilizing health services more, so there is a greater societal cost of this addiction than is often acknowledged.”
