Objective:
To analyse the influencing factors of myopia correction among primary and secondary school students with myopia and to compare the quality of visionrelated survival of students with different correction conditions.
Methods:
A total of 3 649 students from eight primary and secondary schools in a district of Chongqing were selected for myopia screening and vision related survival quality questionnaires using a stratified cluster random sampling method.
Results:
Univariate analysis showed that there were statistically significant differences in the rate of wearing eyeglasses among myopic students with different gender, school, educational stage, academic stress, and parenting style ( χ 2=10.98, 31.63, 31.86, 11.28, 9.59, all P <0.05). The fully vision correction rate among students wearing eyeglasses differed in educational stage, academic stress and parenting style ( χ 2= 11.77, 9.92, 8.69, all P <0.05). Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that gender, school and educational stage were all influencing factors of the rate of wearing eyeglasses (all P <0.01). Myopic students total scores on the Quality of Survival Scale were significantly higher than those of non myopic students ( t =20.07, P <0.01). There were significant differences in the scores of physical, emotional, visual and physical functioning and the total score of quality of survival scores among the three groups of myopic students without wearing eyeglasses, students with undercorrection and students with full vision correction ( F=49.93, 49.38, 28.14, 67.31, P <0.01).
Conclusion
Myopic students have low rates of wearing eyeglasses and fully vision correction. The rate of wearing glasses is different in urban and rural areas, gender and educational stage. The quality of life among myopic students is decreased by wearing eyeglasses, and the quality of life of undercorrected students is lower than that of fully corrected students. We should pay attention to the correction of myopia and improve the quality of life among myopic students.

Objective:To explore the development and interaction between chronotype and depressive symp-toms among middle school students in Chongqing.Methods:A total of 1208 middle school students(613 in grade 7,595 in grade 10)were surveyed for three follow-ups at 6-month intervals.Periods T1-T3 represented baseline,6 months later,and 12 months later,respectively.Chronotype and depressive symptoms were measured by the Morn-ing and Evening Questionnaire-5(MEQ-5)and the Patient Health Questionnaire-9(PHQ-9).Analyses were per-formed using SPSS 26.0 and Mplus 8.3.Results:The MEQ-5 scores were lower in T1 than in T3,and the scores were lower in T2 than in T1 and T3(F=20.08,P<0.001),suggesting a fluctuating trend of chronotype shifting to the Evening-type first after baseline and then to the Morning-type.The PHQ-9 scores exhibited a significant differ-ence among the three-time measurements(x2/df=9.77/2,P<0.01).But pairwise comparisons did not yield any statistically significant findings(P>0.05).The cross-lagged panel model showed that pathways of Ti MEQ-5 scores negatively predicted Ti+1 PHQ-9 scores(βTi-Ti+1=-0.12/-0.09,P<0.05)and TiPHQ-9 scores nega-tively predicted Ti+1 MEQ-5 scores(βTi-Ti+1=-0.07/-0.11,P<0.05).Conclusion:Chronotype and depressive symptoms show some changes in adolescents.The more inclined adolescents are to the Evening-type,the higher the likelihood of depressive symptoms occurring later.The more severe the depressive symptoms,the greater the likeli-hood of a subsequent shift to the Evening-type.
