【 摘 要 】

The extant literature highlights the impact of Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD) on healthconditions, treatment adherence and interactions with healthcare workers (Quirk et al., 2016; DiMattei et al., 2018). Specifically, people with NPD show an increased risk for organic disease(Edelstein et al., 2012; Quirk et al., 2016), low treatment compliance (Pontiroli et al., 2007) anda higher use of medical services (Powers et al., 2014). In addition, NPD is associated with harmfulhealth behaviors, such as alcohol and drug use (Luhtanen and Crocker, 2005; MacLaren andBest, 2013; Hill, 2016), risky sexual behavior (Lavan and Johnson, 2002; Martin et al., 2013), anddangerous driving (Hill, 2016). Finally, NPD has been frequently found among people resorting tocosmetic and plastic surgery (Shridharani et al., 2010; Belli et al., 2013; Agostino et al., 2018).
