Objective To explore the network structure of anxiety,depression and sleep among individuals under long-term high-altitude exposure.Methods A total of 303 subjects who had resided at high altitudes for more than 6 months on end were selected.The insomnia severity index(ISI),patient health questionnaire(PHQ-9),and generalized anxiety disorder scale(GAD-7)were employed to assess insomnia,depression and anxiety before network analysis was conducted to identify the central and bridge nodes in the symptom network.Results The incidence of moderate or severe depression,anxiety and insomnia were 38.9％[95％confidence interval(CI):33.4％-44.5％],23.1％(95％CI:18.3％-27.9％),and 18.5％(95％CI:14.1％-22.9％),respectively."Noticeability of sleep problems by others"had the highest expected influence centrality,followed by"sleep maintenance""uncontrollable worry""restlessness"and"sleep problems".Five bridge symptoms were identified:"sad mood""sleep problems""restlessness""feeling afraid"and"trouble relaxing".Conclusion Sleep-related symptoms play a crucial role in the overall network structure,serving as both central and bridge nodes.Additionally,the"feeling down or depressed"acts as a bridge node and holds importance in the comorbidity network of anxiety and depression.Targeting these key symptoms through intervention and prevention strategies may improve the psychological well-being of individuals with long-term residence in high-altitude regions.
