To analyze the association of sedentary types with symptom of depressive and anxiety among college freshmen, so as to provide a reference for improving the mental health of college students.
From October to November 2022, all college freshmen at three colleges and universities in Anhui Province were selected by a cluster sampling method. The Generalized Anxiety Disorder-7 (GAD-7), the Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9), and the Youth Leisure-Time Sedentary Behavior Questionnaire (YLSBQ) were used for the investigation. A binary Logistic regression analysis was conducted to investigate the relationship of different types of sedentary behavior with anxiety and depressive symptom.
The detection rates of anxiety and depressive symptom among college freshmen were 32.8% and 49.9%, respectively. The results of the binary Logistic regression model analysis showed that after controlling for gender, family location, parental education level, self-rated family economic status and number of intimate partners, high-level overall, video based, and social based sedentary time were associated with an increased risk of anxiety (OR=1.26, 1.56, 1.27) and depressive symptom (OR=1.42, 1.94, 1.29) among college freshmen; the association between moderate level sedentary time and depressive symptom was statistically significant (OR=0.83) (all P < 0.05). The overall trends of the association between sedentary behavior with symptom of anxiety and depressive were similar in both boys and girls.
Sedentary behavior is associated with an increased risk of anxiety and depressive symptom in college students. Reducing video-based and social-based sedentary behaviors is beneficial for mental health promotion in college students.
