Importance: Depression is one of the leading causes disability in United States. prevalence varies by income and sex, but more evidence needed on role inequality may play these associations. Objective: To examine association between Poverty to Income Ratio (PIR)—as a proxy for income—and depressive symptoms adults ages 20 years older, test how depression was concentrated among PIR. Design: Using 2005–2016 National Health Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES), we employed Negative Binomial Regression (NBRG) sample 24,166 adults. We used 9-item PHQ (Public Questionnaire, PHQ-9) measure presence as an outcome variable. Additionally, plotted concentration curve explain distributed Results: In comparison with high-income, low-income population study suffered from greater than or equal ten PHQ-9 4.5 3.5 times, respectively. The results NBRG have shown that people low-PIR (IRR: 1.30, 95% CI: 1.23–1.37) medium-PIR 1.55, 1.46–1.65) experienced higher relative risk ratio having symptoms. Women IRR 1.29, 1.24–1.34) men. observed men women, women. Conclusion Relevance: Addressing should target populations inequality.

Accumulating evidence suggests that pregnancy-related anxiety (PRA) has adverse impacts on maternity health and infant development. A substantial body of literature documented the important influence family function, perceived social support resilience PRA. However, research identifying mediating mechanisms underlying this relationship in China are still lacking. Therefore, current study aimed to investigate prevalence PRA under three-child policy China, also explore interrelationships among support, resilience, PRA.In cross-sectional study, a convenient sampling method was used select 579 pregnant women who underwent prenatal examination at outpatient departments First Affiliated Hospital Chongqing Medical University from December 2021 April 2022. Participants were required complete following questionnaires: demographic form, Chinese Pregnancy-related Anxiety scale, 10-item Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale, APGAR Family Care Index Multidimensional Scale Perceived Social Support. Pearson correlation analysis utilized examine rudimentary variables. Bootstrapping analyses structural equation modeling applied identify significance indirect effects.There 41.4% indicating Correlational indicated function negatively associated with (r = - 0.47, P < 0.01; r 0.43, 0.37, 0.01, respectively). The results bootstrapping demonstrated significant effects (β 0.098, 95% CI [- 0.184, 0.021]) 0.049, 0.103, 0.011]) via resilience.Chinese suffering high levels Better might reduce occurrence PRA, as well by resilience. Healthcare providers must be concerned about perform corresponding actions it. By strengthening improving antenatal care could effectively or prevent And more importantly, implementing resilience-promoting measures essential relieve mental women.

The reduction of social interactions through non-pharmaceutical interventions (NPIs) has been shown to effectively curb COVID-19 transmission. However, these control measures were often accompanied by changes in people’s daily routines and constraints on their activity space, which could lead mental distress (i.e., anxiety depression). This study examined the interplay among individuals’ anxiety, depression, activities, perceptions neighborhood cohesion. Taking Hong Kong as an example, online survey (N = 376) was conducted collect data from participants between March 14 May 11, 2022. include respondents’ self-reported depressive symptoms, activities (e.g., smartphone use), possibility infecting COVID-19), Using network analysis, we found that excessive use, life disturbance COVID-19, a community with people getting along well each other significant factors associated participants’ depression. critical path observed NPIs reduced human mobility, led delayed bedtime, increased distress. We also infection severity mobility flexibility, may further Our results demonstrated high education levels vulnerable. These provided important insights for designing appropriate without generating deleterious impacts health future.
