Objective:To identify and evaluate the important risk factor set of anxiety and depression in occupational population, establish a risk prediction model, and provide scientific basis for making targeted mental health protection plan and promoting the mental health of workers.Methods:In August 2016, a cluster random sampling method was used to investigate 807 employees who underwent physical examination in a hospital as research objects. The simplified Chinese version of the core job content questionnaire, Athens Insomnia Scale, AIS-5 and Symptom Check List-90 (SCL-90) were used for the Occupational stress, insomnai and negative emotional symptom investigation. Chi-square and Fisher exact probability method were used for data analysis, and Bayesian network was used for model construcion and analysis.Results:The score of occupational stress was 0.88±0.15, and the incidence of occupational stress was 18.09% (146/807). AIS-5 scores were (3.03±2.82), and the incidence of insomnia was 15.99% (129/807). Depression (16.89±5.73) scores, anxiety (12.36±4.11) scores. Depression (16.89±5.73) score, anxiety (12.36±4.11) score, the detection rate was 8.55% (69/755), 7.31% (59/762). Gender, illness, education, insomnia and occupational stress were correlated with depression ( P<0.01), while education, illness, insomnia and anxiety were correlated ( P<0.05). When both occupational stress and insomnia existed, the detection rate of depression was the highest (0.4006) . Conclusion:Insomnia was a valid predictor of anxiety and depression, suggesting that occupational groups should pay attention to sleep quality and managers should rationalize work tasks in order to reduce the risk of anxiety and depression.

Objective:To describe the prevalence of preserved ratio impaired spirometry (PRISm) in participants from the China Kadoorie Biobank (CKB) and explore the influencing factors.Methods:The CKB project conducted the baseline survey, the first and the second resurvey in 2004-2008, 2008, and 2013-2014, respectively. Based on the lung function tests, the participants were categorized into three groups: regular, PRISm, and airflow obstruction. The prevalence of PRISm was reported by gender, age, and region at the baseline survey. The secular trend in the prevalence of PRISm was described during the three surveys. Finally, we used the multiple logistic regression model to examine the factors related to PRISm in the baseline survey.Results:After standardization for gender, age, and region according to the sixth national census data in 2010, the overall prevalence of PRISm and airflow obstruction among the 434 760 participants at baseline was 24.8% and 6.1%, respectively. The prevalence of PRISm was higher in rural (25.4%) than that in urban areas (24.3%). Of the 10 study regions, Gansu had the highest prevalence of PRISm (56.0%), while Henan had the lowest (15.4%). After standardization for gender, age, and region according to the baseline population, the prevalence of PRISm decreased from 24.9% at baseline to 15.7% in the second resurvey, and the prevalence of airflow obstruction increased from 5.9% to 21.4%. Unmarried status, current smoking, using solid fuels for cooking, low body weight, being overweight, obesity, and central obesity were associated with an increased risk of PRISm. In contrast, higher education attainments, increased household income, and maintaining a specific degree of physical activity were associated with a reduced risk of PRISm.Conclusions:The prevalence of PRISm was high in adults aged 40 years and above in China, and it varied by sociodemographic and lifestyle factors.
