Objective: To explore the associations of childhood trauma and its subtypes with remission and treatment response after 12 weeks of selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) treatment among patients with major depressive disorder (MDD).
Methods: Data were from patients with MDD in the Depression Cohort in China. At baseline, the Childhood Trauma Questionnaire-Short Form was used to assess childhood trauma, including physical abuse, emotional abuse, sexual abuse, physical neglect, and emotional neglect.
Background: While the association between screen time (ST) and psychosocial well-being has been extensively examined, limited studies have investigated the dynamic patterns of ST, and their impact on subsequent psychosocial well-being among adolescents. Therefore, this longitudinal study aimed to examine the association between ST trajectories and the subsequent psychosocial well-being among Chinese adolescents.
Methods: Data were drawn from the Longitudinal Study of Adolescents' Mental and Behavioral Well-being Research (Registration No.
Introduction: Problematic gaming (PG) is a serious issue among adolescents worldwide, and there is evidence suggesting that school bullying behaviors may be associated with increased rates of PG. This study aimed to examine the associations between school bullying behaviors and PG among adolescents, with a focus on sex effects.
Methods: A total of 20,197 participants were recruited from the 2023 School-based Chinese Adolescents Health Survey.
Objective: To assess the progression of myopia across different academic grades and investigate the associations between potential myopia-related factors and the incidence of myopia at various grade levels.
Methods: We utilized data from an ongoing longitudinal study that began with grade 1 students across 12 schools. Four waves of annual eye examinations and questionnaire surveys were conducted.
Background: The 24-hour movement guidelines (24-HMG) include screen time (ST), sleep duration, and physical activity. Previous studies have explored the associations of adherence to the 24-HMG with depression and anxiety symptoms among adolescents, ignoring changes in behaviors. This study aimed to examine whether changes in adherence to the 24-HMG were associated with depression and anxiety symptoms among adolescents.

We aimed to explore the association of the GS loss rate with the sequent cognitive decline, as well as the moderating role of social isolation in older adults.
Research Design And Methods: Data were from the English Longitudinal Study of Ageing.

Purpose: The role of adherence to the recommendations for 24-hour movement behaviors (24-HMB), including physical activity (PA), screen time (ST), and sleep duration (SLP), in relation to emotional and behavioral problems in Chinese adolescents remains uncertain. This study aimed to investigate these associations and explore potential sex differences.
Methods: This school-based cross-sectional study included 15,071 Chinese adolescents with a mean age of 14.
Background: Sleep disorders are a significant health issue that urgently needs to be addressed among undergraduate students, and one of the potential underlying problems could be problematic smartphone use (PSU). This study aimed to clarify the relationship between PSU and poor sleep quality by investigating the independent and serial mediating roles of anxiety and depressive symptoms in a population of university students in Tibet, China.
Methods: A total of 2993 Tibetan college students completed three waves of data surveys, with all participants completing questionnaires on PSU, anxiety, depressive symptoms, and sleep quality (Time 1 (T1) -Time 3 (T3)).
Previous studies have documented negative associations between somatic symptoms and remission of major depressive disorder (MDD). However, the correlations of specific somatic symptoms with remission remain uncertain. We aimed to explore the associations between specific somatic symptoms and remission focusing on sex differences among patients with MDD.

Objective: To explore the association of pet ownership with cognitive decline, the interaction between pet ownership and living alone, and the extent to which pet ownership mitigates the association between living alone and cognitive decline in older adults.
Design, Setting, And Participants: This cohort study used data from waves 5 (June 2010 to July 2011) to 9 (from June 2018 to July 2019) in the English Longitudinal Study of Ageing.
Objective: Bipolar disorder is easily misdiagnosed with major depressive disorder (MDD). The Rapid Mood Screener (RMS) was developed to address this unmet clinical need. This study aims to translate and evaluated the reliability and validity of the RMS in Chinese adults with bipolar I/II disorder (BD-I/II).

Methods: Data from the Global Burden of Disease Study 2019 was utilized to analyze depressive disorders among individuals aged 10-24 years. The study focused on describing the incidence, prevalence, disability-adjusted life years (DALYs), and their attributable risk factors across 204 countries and territories from 2010 to 2019.

Background: The development trajectories of children's SER remain unknown. This study aimed to characterize spherical equivalent refraction (SER) trajectories during grades 1-4 in Chinese children.
Methods: This prospective cohort study included 1226 first-grade non-myopic children from 12 public primary schools, randomly selected in two districts in Guangzhou, China.
This study sought to evaluate internalized stigma (IS) and perceived stigma (PS), in persons (n = 522) living with major depressive disorder (MDD), with a view to analyzing the association of IS and PS with medication adherence in a cohort of participants with MDD in China. Perceived stigma is the awareness of societal negative views and attitudes towards depression, and IS is applying others' attitudes to oneself, both measured by the Depression Stigma Scale (DSS). Medication adherence was assessed using the Medication Adherence Rating Scale (MARS).
