AIM: Extensive evidence demonstrates the link between health behaviour and mental health. However, the impact of coinciding behavioural risk factors on mental health outcomes has received less attention. This study addresses this gap by analysing multiple behavioural risk factors and their association with mental health. SUBJECT AND METHODS: Nationally representative data ( = 6,404) from 2020 cross-sectional survey in Estonia was used to examine patterns of co-occurring behavioural risk factors, including smoking, alcohol consumption, physical inactivity, unhealthy diet, drug use, and high screen time. Latent class analysis (LCA) was employed to identify behavioural classes, and binomial logistic regression was used to examine associations between predicted individual class membership and self-reported mental health outcomes, such as depressiveness, stress, suicidal thoughts, diagnoses of depression and insomnia, and medication use. RESULTS: LCA identified three behavioural classes: multiple risk factors (14.6%), low-risk lifestyle (79.9%), and drug use lifestyle (5.5%). Compared to individuals in the low-risk lifestyle class, respondents in the multiple risk factors and drug use classes had higher odds of experiencing depressiveness, stress, and suicidal thoughts, as well as self-reported diagnoses of depression and insomnia; they also exhibited increased use of medications, such as antidepressants, hypnotics, and sedatives. CONCLUSION: Behavioural risk classes were associated with adverse mental health outcomes. These findings emphasise the importance of focused interventions targeting these risk factors to address the risk of mental health problems.
目的:大量证据表明健康行为与心理健康之间存在联系。然而,同时存在的行为风险因素对心理健康结果的影响却较少受到关注。本研究通过分析多种行为风险因素及其与心理健康的关联来填补这一空白。 对象与方法:使用来自爱沙尼亚2020年横断面调查的具有全国代表性的数据(n = 6404)来研究同时出现的行为风险因素模式,包括吸烟、饮酒、缺乏体育锻炼、不健康饮食、药物使用和长时间使用电子设备。采用潜在类别分析(LCA)来确定行为类别,并使用二项逻辑回归来检验预测的个体类别归属与自我报告的心理健康结果之间的关联,如抑郁、压力、自杀念头、抑郁症和失眠的诊断以及药物使用情况。 结果:LCA确定了三种行为类别:多种风险因素(14.6%)、低风险生活方式(79.9%)和药物使用生活方式(5.5%)。与低风险生活方式类别的个体相比,多种风险因素和药物使用类别的受访者出现抑郁、压力和自杀念头的几率更高,自我报告的抑郁症和失眠诊断也更多;他们还表现出更多地使用抗抑郁药、催眠药和镇静剂等药物。 结论:行为风险类别与不良心理健康结果相关。这些发现强调了针对这些风险因素进行有针对性干预以解决心理健康问题风险的重要性。
