Association between modifiable lifestyle behaviors and depressive symptoms among Chinese adolescents: a longitudinal analysis from 2019 to 2021.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The incidence of depression in adolescents is high, and depression has a great impact on children and adolescents, while the effects of changeable lifestyle on depression in adolescents are inconsistent, and there is a lack of longitudinal research results. To fill these knowledge gaps, we conducted a longitudinal study in Shanghai to evaluate the association between modifiable lifestyle behaviors and depression symptoms in adolescents.

Methods

A total of 4314 students participated in the survey each year from 2019 to 2021 was included in this study. Students' physical activity behavior, screen behavior, and sleep behavior were collected by questionnaires. Depressive symptoms were assessed using the Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale (CES-D scale).<
