A network analysis of the depression and anxiety comorbidity: a nationwide survey among Chinese adolescents during the normalization phase of COVID-19 pandemic prevention and control.

Objectives: This study employed network analysis to investigate the comorbidity model between depression and anxiety among Chinese adolescents during the normalization phase of COVID-19 pandemic prevention and control.

Methods: From October to December 2021, a total of 22 868 adolescents were selected from 27 schools in 8 cities of China by multistage cluster sampling. Depressive symptoms and anxiety symptoms of adolescents were evaluated by the Patient Health Questionnaire 9 (PHQ-9) and the Generalized Anxiety Disorder scale 7 (GAD-7), respectively.

Moderating effects of reduced morning and evening questionnaire scores on the association between urinary phthalate metabolites and inflammatory cytokines among Chinese young adults: A human biomonitoring study.

Although previous findings have suggested that phthalate exposure was related to inflammation in young adults, little is known about whether chronotype, measured by the reduced Morning and Evening Questionnaire (rMEQ), reflects a moderating or mediating effect of phthalate exposure on inflammation. To address these gaps, this study examined the correlation of phthalate metabolites with inflammatory cytokines in Chinese young adults and explored the moderating effects of rMEQ scores in this association. From April to May 2019, 1179 young adults were recruited from 2 universities in Hefei and Shangrao cities.

Moderating effects of insomnia on the association between urinary phthalate metabolites and depressive symptoms in Chinese college students: focus on gender differences.

Objectives: To investigate the rates of depressive symptoms in college students, explore the relationship between urinary phthalate metabolites and depressive symptoms and their gender differences, and further explore the moderating role of insomnia in this association.

Methods: A total of 1 179 college students were recruited from 2 universities in Hefei and Shangrao cities from April to May 2019. The depressive symptoms and insomnia of college students were investigated by the Patient Health Questionnaire 9 and Insomnia Severity Index.
