Under Hong Kong Jockey Club SMART Family-Link Project, we conducted online and telephone surveys amid pandemic in February to March 2021 assess self-reported (range 0–10) adults ( N = 4726) associations with sociodemographic psycho-behavioral (high vs low moderate) variables. Data were weighted by sex, age, education general population. Binary logistic regression models yielded adjusted odds ratios (aORs) for high (score ≥ 7) 43.7% reported fatigue. It was less common older people (55–64 years: aOR 0.56, 95% CI 0.39–0.82; 65 + 0.33, 0.21–0.52) versus age group 18–24 years, but more those tertiary (1.36, 1.15–1.62) secondary or below.
