Mental diseases are very widespread and difficult to treat, affecting around 12% of the global population in 2019. Since social interaction is crucial to human existence and loneliness has been proven to be a significant predictor of depressive symptoms, it stands to reason that social connection problems would also contribute to depression. Physical inactivity seems to weaken and aggravate insulin tolerance alterations, glucose homeostasis, and plasma triglyceride levels, thereby influencing one's mood and happiness. This suggests that physical inactivity may be a significant risk factor for mental illness. This research contributes to our understanding of the mental health situation in Syria by exploring associations between a set of measurable characteristics that may be adjusted.
An online quantitative cross-sectional study was conducted between March and April 2022 in Syria, using a structured questionnaire that assesses data on behaviors of health, health in general, wellbeing, and adult population quality of life.
Among 1,224 respondents (371 men and 853 women), women have shown higher levels of mental distress, sleep issues, low engagement in structured activities, and a difficult work environment than men. Women experiencing mental anguish have reported being more sedentary, participating in less scheduled activities, and receiving less social support.
There are observable connections between high sedentary time and women experiencing mental distress. The mental health of Syrian women in distress was associated with a lack of participation in both organized activities and physical exercise in their free time. Furthermore, sleep issues and financial troubles were seen in persons with mental diseases of both males and females.
精神疾病非常普遍且难以治疗，2019年影响了全球约12%的人口。由于社交互动对人类生存至关重要，且孤独已被证明是抑郁症状的重要预测因素，因此社交联系问题也会导致抑郁，这是合乎情理的。缺乏身体活动似乎会削弱和加剧胰岛素耐受性改变、葡萄糖稳态及血浆甘油三酯水平，从而影响一个人的情绪和幸福感。这表明缺乏身体活动可能是精神疾病的一个重要风险因素。本研究通过探索一组可调整的可测量特征之间的关联，有助于我们了解叙利亚的心理健康状况。
2022年3月至4月在叙利亚进行了一项在线定量横断面研究，使用一份结构化问卷来评估关于健康行为、总体健康、幸福感和成年人口生活质量的数据。
在1224名受访者（371名男性和853名女性）中，女性在精神痛苦、睡眠问题、结构化活动参与度低和工作环境困难方面的程度高于男性。经历精神痛苦的女性报告称久坐时间更长、参与的预定活动更少且获得的社会支持更少。
久坐时间过长与女性精神痛苦之间存在明显关联。处于痛苦中的叙利亚女性的心理健康与缺乏参与有组织的活动以及空闲时间的体育锻炼有关。此外，男性和女性患有精神疾病的人都存在睡眠问题和经济困难。
