Myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS) is a group of chronic conscious fatigue that is not easily relieved by rest and is accompanied by corresponding physiological dysfunction and psychological symptoms. However, due to the insufficient understanding of the pathogenesis of ME/CFS, there is currently a lack of effective treatment methods. In addition, there are few surveys on the current status of ME/CFS in the central region of China, and the data on ME/CFS among university students in the central region are lacking. This group conducted a survey on university students in Wuhan, Hubei Province in 2022 to collect and analyze the current status of ME/CFS among university students in central China for the first time, aiming to understand the current development of ME/CFS among university students, investigate the influencing factors of its prevalence, fill the data gaps, and provide a reliable basis for developing interventions for chronic fatigue syndrome among university students.
A cross-sectional study was conducted among university students in a university in Hubei province. Data were collected via online questionnaire surveys. The contents included demographic characteristics, lifestyles, disease history, depression, anxiety, sleep, ME/CFS and other associated factors. SAS 9.4 statistical software was used to analyze and estimate the effect of associated factors on ME/CFS.
A total of 1826 subjects were included in the final analysis. The results showed that the prevalence of ME/CFS in university students was 6.25%. Univariate analysis showed that exercise, alcohol consumption, study, overnights, diet, anxiety, depression, and sleep quality were associated with ME/CFS ( < 0.05). Multivariate analysis showed that overnights, overeating, anxiety, and sleep quality were independent risk factors, while learning was a protective factor.
College students should pay enough attention to ME/CFS, improve their understanding of ME/CFS, and improve people's ability to understand ME/CFS.
肌痛性脑脊髓炎/慢性疲劳综合征(ME/CFS)是一组慢性的、休息后不易缓解的自觉疲劳,并伴有相应的生理功能障碍和心理症状。然而,由于对ME/CFS发病机制的认识不足,目前缺乏有效的治疗方法。此外,中国中部地区关于ME/CFS现状的调查较少,且缺乏中部地区大学生中ME/CFS的数据。该团队于2022年对湖北省武汉市的大学生进行了一项调查,首次收集并分析了中国中部地区大学生中ME/CFS的现状,旨在了解大学生中ME/CFS的当前发展情况,调查其患病率的影响因素,填补数据空白,并为制定针对大学生慢性疲劳综合征的干预措施提供可靠依据。
在湖北省一所大学的大学生中进行了一项横断面研究。通过在线问卷调查收集数据。内容包括人口统计学特征、生活方式、病史、抑郁、焦虑、睡眠、ME/CFS及其他相关因素。使用SAS 9.4统计软件分析并估计相关因素对ME/CFS的影响。
最终纳入分析的受试者共1826名。结果显示,大学生中ME/CFS的患病率为6.25%。单因素分析表明,运动、饮酒、学习、熬夜、饮食、焦虑、抑郁和睡眠质量与ME/CFS有关(<0.05)。多因素分析表明,熬夜、暴饮暴食、焦虑和睡眠质量是独立危险因素,而学习是保护因素。
大学生应充分重视ME/CFS,提高对ME/CFS的认识,提升人们对ME/CFS的了解能力。
