Abstract:
Objective To investigate the clinical characteristics and influencing factors of chronic fatigue syndrome(CFS)in officers and soldiers on islands and reefs.Methods A random cluster sampling of 1 010 officers and soldiers stationed in a certain department on the islands and reefs was conducted for a questionnaire survey.The CFS influencing factor questionnaire was used to evaluate its occurrence and related factors.The influence of body constitution on the occurrence of CFS was analyzed by the constitution scale of Traditional Chinese Medicine(TCM).Logistic regression model was used to analyze the relationship between CFS and related factors,such as TCM constitution,living habits,and emotions.Results A total of 1 002 valid questionnaires were retrieved.There were 220 patients(21.96%)with CFS among the 1 002 officers and soldiers.Univariate logistic regression showed that age(≥25 years),sex(male),body mass index(BMI),marital status(married or divorced),working years≥6 years),job nature(management),sleep time(<6 hours),alcohol consumption,weekly exercise(more than 3 times),anxiety,depression,and various types of constitution(type A-I)in the CFS group were significantly different from those in the non-CFS group(all P<0.05).Multivariate logistic regression showed that age(≥25 years,OR=1.851,95%CI:1.278-2.682),sleep time(less than 6 hours,OR=2.026,95%CI:1.367-3.004),alcohol assumption(OR=1.969,95%CI:1.172-3.305),yin deficiency(type D,OR=1.696,95%CI:1.012-2.842),phlegm-dampness(type E,OR=1.750,95%CI:1.055-2.902),and qi stagnation(type H,OR=2.703,95%CI:1.674-4.365)were the risk factors for CFS,and peace quality(type A)was a protective factor for CFS(OR=0.240,95%CI:0.154-0.372).Conclusion There is a high incidence of CFS(21.96%)in officers and soldiers on islands and reefs.The occurrence of CFS is related to the TCM constitution.People with yin deficiency,phlegm-dampness and qi stagnation are more likely to suffer from CFS.Age above 25 years,less than 6 hours of sleep,and alcohol consumption are risk factors for CFS.
