Association between depressive symptoms and poor sleep quality among Han and Manchu ethnicities in a large, rural, Chinese population.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

To estimate the relationship between sleep quality and depression, among Han and Manchu ethnicities, in a rural Chinese population.

Methods

A sample of 8,888 adults was selected using a multistage cluster and random sampling method. Sleep quality was evaluated using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI). Depressive symptoms were assessed via the Center for Epidemiological Survey, Depression Scale (CES-D). Logistic regression was conducted to assess associations between sleep quality and depression.

Results

The prevalence of poor sleep quality and depression in the Manchus (20.74% and 22.65%) was significantly lower than that in the Hans (29.57% and 26.25%), respectively. Depressive participants had higher odds ratios of global and all sub PSQI elements
