Abstract

Objective To explore the association of physical activity and sugar-sweetened beverage consumption with psychological sub-health among middle school students in Bao'an District, Shenzhen, so as to provide a reference for adolescent mental health promotion. Methods A questionnaire survey was conducted in November 2024 by a stratified cluster random sampling method to select 6 926 junior and senior middle school students from 5 middle schools in Shenzhen. The questionnaire from Youth Risk Behavior Surveillance System was used to assess the consumption of sugar-sweetened beverages, and physical activity Rating Scale was used to assess the level of physical activity, and Brief Instrument on Psychological Health of Youths was used to evaluate the psychological sub-health status. The Chi-square test was used to analyze the differences in the detection rates of psychological sub-health among different groups of middle school students, and a multivariate Logistic regression model was established to analyze the effects of physical activity and sugar-sweetened beverage consumption and their combined effects on the psychological sub-health of middle school students. Results The detection rate of psychological sub-health among middle school students in Bao'an District, Shenzhen was 18.93%. Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that, after controlling for confounding factors such as gender, school stage, family residence, family economic status, parental literacy, academic stress and number of friends, lack of physical activity or excessive sugar-sweetened beverage consumption were associated with increased risks of psychological sub-health among middle school students (OR=1.36, 1.45); and the highest risk of psychological sub-health was found in middle school students who were lack of physical activity and excessive sugar-sweetened beverage consumption (OR=2.59) (P < 0.01). Further analysis by school stages showed that junior high school students with sufficient physical activity and excessive intake of sugary drinks (ROR=2.10), lack of physical activity and excessive intake of sugary drinks (ROR=2.31) were at higher risks of psychological sub-health than senior high school students(P < 0.05). Conclusions Insufficient physical activity and excessive sugar-sweetened beverage consumption are closely associated with an increased risk of psychological sub-health among middle school students. Effective interventions should be targeted to reduce the risk of psychological sub-health problems among middle school students.
