BackgroundChronic insomnia disorder has become a significant public health issue, and it may be associated with dyslipidemia. Previous studies on dyslipidemia in patients with chronic insomnia disorder have mainly focused on exploring the relationship between subjective short sleep duration and dyslipidemia, while there have been limited studies on the relationship between objective short sleep duration and dyslipidemia. ObjectiveTo explore the relationship between objective short sleep duration and dyslipidemia in patients with chronic insomnia disorder, in order to provide references for the prevention and intervention of dyslipidemia in this population. MethodsA total of 103 patients who were hospitalized at The Third Hospital of Mianyang from August 2022 to November 2023 and met the diagnostic criteria for chronic insomnia disorder as defined in the International Classification of Sleep Disorder, third edition (ICSD-3) were retrospectively collected. The objective sleep duration of the patients was obtained through polysomnography. The patients were divided into two groups based on their objective sleep duration: the group with objective sleep duration ≥ 7 hours (n=71) and the group with objective sleep duration < 7 hours (n=32). Binary Logistic regression analysis was used to explore the impact of objective sleep duration < 7 hours on dyslipidemia. ResultsAmong 103 patients with chronic insomnia disorder, 59 cases (57.28%) were identified with dyslipidemia. The comparison of dyslipidemia conditions between the group with objective sleep duration ≥ 7 hours and the group with objective sleep duration < 7 hours showed a statistically significant difference (χ2=5.956, P<0.05). Compared with the group with objective sleep duration ≥7 hours, the group with objective sleep duration < 7 hours exhibited significantly lower high-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels, and reduced sleep efficiency (t=-2.003, -5.482, P<0.05 or 0.01). Binary Logistic regression analysis results showed that the risk of abnormal blood lipids in patients with chronic insomnia disorder with objective sleep duration < 7 hours was 3.128 times higher than that of patients with objective sleep duration ≥ 7 hours (OR=3.128, 95% CI: 1.139–8.588). ConclusionObjective short sleep duration may be a risk factor for dyslipidemia in patients with chronic insomnia disorder.

Objective:
To explore the influencing factors of anxiety symptoms and to construct a predictive model based on machine learning algorithms, so as to provide support for the prevention and management of anxiety symptoms among junior high school students.
Methods:
From April to May 2023, a stratified random cluster sampling method was adopted to select 8 176 junior high school students from Zhengzhou and Shangqiu citys. All participants completed the Adolescent Self rating Life Events Checklist, the 10item Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale, the School Connectedness Scale, the Parent-Child Cohesion Questionnaire, and the 7 item Generalized Anxiety Disorder Scale. Logistic regression analysis identified the associated factors of anxiety symptoms among junior high school students. Predictive models were constructed using Logistic regression, Random Forest, and eXtreme Gradient Boosting (XGBoost) algorithms, with SHapley Additive exPlanations analysis explaining the optimal model.
Results:
The detection rate of anxiety symptoms among junior high school students was 16.3%. Logistic regression analysis showed that junior high school students who were female ( OR =1.22), in the ninth grade ( OR =1.27), living in urban areas ( OR =1.37), having a father with a college education or above ( OR =1.26), having a mother with a senior high school education ( OR =1.26), and experiencing higher levels of negative life events ( OR =1.05) reported a higher risk of anxiety symptoms(all P <0.05). In contrast, those with moderate family economic status ( OR =0.71), moderate academic burden ( OR =0.59), low academic burden ( OR =0.54), moderate sleep quality ( OR =0.46), good sleep quality ( OR =0.26), excellent sleep quality ( OR =0.15), higher levels of psychological resilience ( OR =0.96), higher levels of school connectedness ( OR =0.96), and higher levels of parent-child cohesion ( OR =0.98) reported a lower risk of anxiety symptoms (all P <0.05). Three machine learning models demonstrated good predictive performance for anxiety symptoms among junior high school students (all AUC>0.8), with the XGBoost model achieving the best predictive performance. SHAP analysis revealed that negative life events, sleep quality, school connectedness, psychological resilience and parent-child cohesion were the top five relevant factors for predicting anxiety symptoms.
Conclusions
The detection rate of anxiety symptoms among junior high school students is relatively high. The XGBoost model is the optimal predictive model for anxiety symptoms in the population. Negative life events, sleep quality, school connectedness, psychological resilience, and parent-child cohesion are significant correlates of anxiety symptoms among junior high school students.

BackgroundAnxiety symptoms have become a public health issue affecting the physical and mental health of the elderly population. Mental health literacy is a predictor of anxiety symptoms in the elderly. Currently, there are limited studies on the pathogenic mechanism between the two. Exploring the relationship and mechanism between mental health literacy and anxiety symptoms among the elderly is of great significance for improving the mental health level of the elderly. ObjectiveTo investigate the impact of mental health literacy on anxiety symptoms in the elderly, and to analyze the role of insomnia in this process, in order to provide references for the formulation of prevention and intervention strategies for anxiety symptoms in the elderly. MethodsFrom August 2021 to December 2022, a total of 10 650 older adults aged 60 years old and above were selected from a city in Sichuan Province using a multistage stratified sampling method. Participants completed the self-compiled demographic questionnaire, the Insomnia Severity Index (ISI), the Generalized Anxiety Disorder Scale-7 item (GAD-7), and the National Mental Health Literacy Questionnaire (NMHLQ). Spearman correlation analysis was adopted to examine the correlation between the scores of the scales. Model 4 in SPSS 27.0 plugin Process 4.1 was employed to test the pathway of insomnia between mental health literacy (and its various dimensions) and anxiety symptoms. ResultsAmong the participants, 9 609 cases (90.23%) completed the valid questionnaire survey, and 1 680 cases (17.48%) were found to have anxiety symptoms. The total score of the NMHLQ for the elderly, as well as the scores of the knowledge, awareness, and skills dimensions, were negatively correlated with the GAD-7 score and the ISI score (rs=-0.506–-0.054, P<0.01), and the ISI score was positively correlated with the GAD-7 score (rs=0.666, P<0.01). Insomnia served as the mediating pathway between the mental health literacy and anxiety symptoms, with an indirect effect value of -0.210 (95% CI: -0.227–-0.193), accounting for 54.97% of the total effect. Insomnia was the mediating pathway between the mental health literacy knowledge and anxiety symptoms of the elderly, with an indirect effect value of -0.161 (95% CI: -0.178–-0.144), accounting for 52.61% of the total effect. Insomnia played a mediating role in the relationship between the awareness of mental health literacy and anxiety symptoms, with an indirect effect value of -0.323 (95% CI: -0.342–-0.302), accounting for 76.36% of the total effect. Insomnia was the mediating pathway between the mental health literacy skills and anxiety symptoms of the elderly, with an indirect effect value of -0.172 (95% CI: -0.187–-0.159), accounting for 53.75% of the total effect. ConclusionThe dimensions of mental health literacy, knowledge, awareness and skills of the elderly not only directly affect anxiety symptoms, but also indirectly influence anxiety symptoms through the pathway of insomnia.[Funded by Medical Research Project Plan of Sichuan Province (number, S23049)]
