Objective:To investigate anxiety symptoms and associated factors in relocated elderly residents of new townships,and to provide evidence for prevention interventions.Methods:A cross-sectional study was conduc-ted in relocated elderly residents in new townships of three urban areas in Shandong Province from 2021 to 2023.The study instruments included Ascertain Dementia-8,Generalized Anxiety Disorder-7,self-administered de-mographic characteristics information questionnaire.Multivariate analysis of factors associated with anxiety symp-toms in elderly residents was performed using multivariate logistic regression.Results:The prevalence rate of mild anxiety symptoms was 5.8%,and the rate of moderate-to-severe anxiety symptoms was 1.3%in 3 313 resi-dents.Multivariate analysis found that self-assessed general psychological condition(OR=0.52),good family envi-ronment(OR=0.34),no self-perceived cognitive impairment(OR=0.31),no chronic diseases(OR=0.42),and only one chronic disease(OR=0.61)were protective factors for mild anxiety symptoms,and very good dietary structure(OR=2.15)and fair dietary structure(OR=2.39)were risk factors for those.Very good family environ-ment(OR=0.11)and average family environment(OR=0.16),and no self-perceived cognitive impairment(OR=0.14)were protective factors for moderate-to-severe anxiety symptoms,and 0-3 years(OR=3.24)and 4-6 years(OR=3.28)of relocation were risk factors for those.Conclusion:Family environment,dietary structure,and duration since relocation are key factors associated with anxiety symptoms among relocated elderly residents in new townships.Targeted interventions should be implemented to address their mental health needs.

Objective:To explore the association between perceived social support,TMEM161B gene rs768705 polymorphism,and their interaction with incidence of depressive symptoms in the freshmen.Methods:A total of 9928 freshmen from two medical universities were investigated at baseline and follow-up two years later during 2018-2020 by cluster sampling.A self-report demographic characteristics questionnaire was used to collect information of general demographic characteristics.Perceived Social Support Scale,Beck Depression Inventory,Beck Anxiety Inventory and Adolescent Self-Rating Life Events Check List were used to measure the level of perceived social support,depressive symptoms,anxiety symptoms and the number of negative life events of individuals.Blood sam-ples were collected and typed for DNA by professionals.Results:Family support and other support were all nega-tively associated with depressive symptoms in the freshmen(OR=0.96,95%CI:0.93-0.99;OR=0.94,95%CI:0.91-0.98).There was no correlation between friend support and depressive symptoms in the freshmen(OR=0.99,95%CI:0.95-1.02).TMEM161B gene rs768705 polymorphism(AG)was positively associated with de-pressive symptoms in the freshmen(OR=1.58,95%CI:1.12-2.23).The interactions of friend support with TMEM161B gene rs768705 polymorphism(AG)(OR=1.13,95%CI:1.02-1.26)and other support with TMEM161B gene rs768705 polymorphism(AG)(OR=1.13,95%CI:1.02-1.25)had significant effects on the incidence of depressive symptoms in the females and no significant effect in the males.Conclusion:The perceived social support,TMEM161B gene rs768705 polymorphism and their interaction are associated with influence of de-pressive symptoms,and have sex difference in the freshmen.

Objective:To investigate the impact of traumatic experiences on panic attack,depression and anxi-ety symptoms among community residents.Methods:Totally 11 280 community residents were recruited.The Com-posite International Diagnostic Interview-3.0,Patient Health Questionnaire,7-item Generalized Anxiety Disorder Scale and general information questionnaire were used for face-to-face interview to collect information.Propensity Score Matching was conducted to match 5 184 community residents for analysis.Logistic regression was employed to analyze the impact of traumatic events on panic attack,depressive symptoms,and anxiety symptoms among the study sample.Results:Traumatic events were associated with a higher likelihood of experiencing panic attack(OR=3.26,95%CI:2.26-4.70),depression symptoms(OR=1.92,95%CI:1.56-2.37)and anxiety symptoms(OR=1.57,95%CI:1.24-1.99).Conclusion:Traumatic events extensively impact the mental health of commu-nity residents.Timely psychological support and early intervention are essential to prevent mental health issues in community residents affected by trauma.

Objective:To explore relationships and differences of perceived social support and depression-anx-iety symptoms between rural-to-urban migrated residents and rural residents.Methods:A total of 5 958 rural-to-ur-ban migrated residents and 4 720 rural residents were recruited.The Patient Health Questionnaire-9,Generalized Anxiety Disorder-7,and Perceived Social Support Scale were used to assess symptoms of depression,anxiety,and social support,respectively.Network estimation,centrality and predictability measurement,accuracy and stability verification,and network comparison were conducted based on R 4.2.0 to compare the network structure differ-ences between the two groups of residents.Results:In rural-to-urban migrated residents,"lack of energy"in depres-sive symptoms and"inability to control worry"in anxiety symptoms were the nodes with the highest expected influ-ence(EI).In rural residents,"low self-evaluation"in depressive symptoms and"difficulty relaxing"in anxiety symptoms were the nodes with the highest EI.The highest node of perceived social support EI for both groups was"support from relatives/leaders."The bridge nodes were the same for rural-to-urban migrated residents and rural residents,with"be down in spirits"being the nodes with the highest bridge expected influence.The results of net-work comparison test showed that the overall network structure of rural-to-urban migrated residents and rural resi-dents was statistically different(P<0.05).Conclusion:There are correlation and difference among depressive symptoms,anxiety symptoms,and perceived social support in rural-to-urban migrated and rural residents.
