摘要:
目的 探讨学龄期儿童青少年抑郁症状与中医体质的关联,为针对儿童青少年开展体质调平与抑郁症状预防提供科学依据。 方法 2024年6—12月,通过整群随机抽样方法抽取河北保定、山东菏泽和聊城10所小学4 729名6~14岁学生为研究对象,调查其一般资料、中医体质及抑郁症状情况。运用限制性立方样条(RCS)模型分析儿童青少年抑郁症状相关因素及阈值效应,运用二元Logistic回归分析儿童青少年抑郁症状与中医体质关联,并进行亚组分析。 结果 纳入的儿童青少年中,抑郁症状检出率为25.82%。RCS分析结果显示,儿童青少年抑郁症状与年龄(拐点为10岁)、上床睡眠时间(拐点为22:00)和早晨起床时间(拐点为6:30)均呈非线性关联(P非线性值均 < 0.01),与体质量指数(BMI)和睡眠时长均呈线性关联(P非线性值均>0.05)。调整年龄、BMI、睡眠状况等协变量后,二元Logistic回归分析显示,儿童青少年抑郁症状与阴虚质(OR=1.26,95%CI=1.09~1.45)、痰湿质(OR=1.42,95%CI=1.11~1.82)均相关(P值均 < 0.05)。 结论 学龄期儿童青少年抑郁症状与中医体质中阴虚质和痰湿质相关。应积极关注儿童青少年易感中医体质,采取针对性健康指导和干预,促进中医体质健康状态提升以预防抑郁症状发生。 Abstract:Objective To explore the correlation between traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) constitution and depressive symptom among school-aged children and adolescents, so as to provide evidences for informing constitution-based regulation and prevention of depressive symptom. Methods From June to December 2024, a total of 4 729 students aged 6-14 were recruited by cluster random sampling from 10 primary schools in Baoding (Hebei Province), Heze and Liaocheng (Shandong Province). General information, TCM constitution and depressive symptom were collected. Restricted cubic spline (RCS) models were used to analyze related factors and threshold effects of depressive symptom. Binary Logistic regression was applied to examine the association between depressive symptom and TCM constitution, with subgroup analyses conducted. Results The detection rate of depressive symptom among the included children and adolescents was 25.82%. RCS analyses indicated non-linear associations between depressive symptom and age (inflection point at 10 years old), bedtime (inflection point at 22:00), and wake-up time (inflection point at 6:30) (all Pnon-linearity < 0.01). Linear associations were observed with body mass index (BMI) and sleep duration (all Pnon-linearity>0.05). After adjusting for covariates such as age, BMI and sleep status, binary Logistic regression analyses showed that Yin-deficient constitution (OR=1.26, 95%CI=1.09-1.45) and Phlegm-dampness constitution (OR=1.42, 95%CI=1.11-1.82) were significantly associated with depressive symptom among children and adolescents (all P < 0.05). Conclusions Depressive symptom among school-aged children and adolescents is primarily associated with Yin-deficiency and Phlegm-dampness constitutions in TCM constitution. Active attention should be paid to susceptible TCM constitution among children and adolescents. Targeted health guidance and interventions should be implemented to improve TCM constitution health status for preventing the occurrence of depressive symptom. -
