Sedentary behavior among university students could negatively affect their mental health.
The aim of this study was to examine the relationship of mental health (anxiety and depression) and sedentary behavior between gender in Health Degrees at the University of Zaragoza.
Cross-sectional descriptive study.
Sample of 257 University students who completed an online questionnaire.
Sedentary behavior was assessed with the SBQ questionnaire. Anxiety and depression were assessed with the GADS questionnaire. The Mann-Whitney U test and multiple linear regression models were used.
In comparison to men, female students with symptoms of anxiety spend more time in total engaged in sedentary behaviors (10.56 ± 4.83) vs. (7.8 ± 3.28; < 0.001) and mentally-passive sedentary activities [2.24 (1.57) vs. 1.15 (0.90; < 0.005)]. Female students at risk of depression also spend more hours engaged in mentally-passive sedentary behaviors in comparison to men (8.28 ± 50.70 vs. 1.27 ± 1.02; = 0.009).
Female students at risk of anxiety and/or depression spend more time engaged in sedentary activities in comparison to male students. The risk of anxiety and depression is associated with the total number of hours a day spent engaged in sedentary behaviors and with mentally passive behaviors, but not mentally active behaviors.
大学生的久坐行为可能会对他们的心理健康产生负面影响。
本研究旨在探讨萨拉戈萨大学健康学位专业中性别与心理健康(焦虑和抑郁)及久坐行为之间的关系。
横断面描述性研究。
257名完成在线问卷的大学生样本。
使用SBQ问卷评估久坐行为。使用GADS问卷评估焦虑和抑郁。采用曼-惠特尼U检验和多元线性回归模型。
与男性相比,有焦虑症状的女学生在久坐行为上花费的总时间更多(10.56±4.83),而男性为(7.8±3.28;<0.001),在精神被动性久坐活动上花费的时间也更多[2.24(1.57),而男性为1.15(0.90;<0.005)]。有抑郁风险的女学生与男性相比,在精神被动性久坐行为上花费的时间也更多(8.28±50.70对1.27±1.02;=0.009)。
有焦虑和/或抑郁风险的女学生与男学生相比,在久坐活动上花费的时间更多。焦虑和抑郁风险与每天久坐行为的总时长以及精神被动性行为有关,但与精神主动性行为无关。
