Students' depressive symptoms might be related to their own risk factors and to their parents' status. The objective of this cross-sectional study was to examine the relationship of depressive symptoms with lifestyle variables and parents' psychological and socio-demographic status among Japanese junior high school students.
Of 477 students and their parents, 409 (85.7 %) students and 314 (65.8 %) parents participated in the study. Students answered self-reported questionnaire on depressive symptoms, their heights and weights, subjective stress, body dissatisfaction, lifestyles including sleep duration and extracurricular physical activity in school and other physical activity outside the school, and nutritional intake. Parents responded to questionnaire on depressive symptoms and socio-demographic status.
The prevalence of depressive symptoms was 24.9 %. Students with depressive symptoms were more likely to have stress. Students in shorter and longer sleep duration groups were more likely to have depressive symptoms. The students with depressive symptoms had smaller amount of energy intake than did those without depressive symptoms. Multiple logistic regression analysis revealed significant relationships between students' depressive symptoms and some independent variables. Sex, subjective stress, "almost-never"-categorized extracurricular physical activity in school and other physical activity outside the school, and having a parent with depressive symptoms were significantly associated with students' depressive symptoms.
Reducing mental stress and taking care of lifestyles, especially, "almost-everyday"-categorized extracurricular physical activity in school and other physical activity outside the school, may have benefits for students' mental health, and having a parent with depressive symptoms may be associated with students' depressive symptoms.
学生的抑郁症状可能与自身风险因素及父母状况有关。本横断面研究的目的是探讨日本初中生抑郁症状与生活方式变量以及父母心理和社会人口学状况之间的关系。
在477名学生及其父母中,409名(85.7%)学生和314名(65.8%)父母参与了研究。学生回答了关于抑郁症状、身高体重、主观压力、身体不满、包括睡眠时间、校内课外体育活动及校外其他体育活动在内的生活方式以及营养摄入的自填问卷。父母回答了关于抑郁症状和社会人口学状况的问卷。
抑郁症状的患病率为24.9%。有抑郁症状的学生更易有压力。睡眠时间较短和较长组的学生更易有抑郁症状。有抑郁症状的学生能量摄入量比无抑郁症状的学生少。多因素逻辑回归分析显示学生的抑郁症状与一些独立变量之间存在显著关系。性别、主观压力、校内“几乎从不”参加课外体育活动及校外其他体育活动以及有抑郁症状的父母与学生的抑郁症状显著相关。
减轻心理压力并关注生活方式,尤其是校内“几乎每天”参加课外体育活动及校外其他体育活动,可能对学生心理健康有益,且有抑郁症状的父母可能与学生的抑郁症状有关。
