What are the risk factors for chronic diseases and the prevalence of depression and anxiety among community residents?
Old age is a significant risk factor for chronic diseases among community residents, with a high prevalence of depression and anxiety observed.
AIM: To explore the physical and mental health status of community residents and to identify the risk factors of chronic diseases. DESIGN: A cross-sectional, descriptive correlational study was conducted. METHODS: A total of 579 participants were recruited from 15 communities in Tianjin. The demographic information sheet, 7-item Generalized Anxiety Disorder scale (GAD-7) and Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9) were used. Data collection was undertaken based on the health management system on mobile phones from April to May 2019. RESULTS: Eighty-four participants of the total number of surveyed were with chronic disease. The incidence of depression and anxiety in participants was 44.2% and 41.3%. Logistic regression analysis showed that age (OR = 4.905, 95%CI: 2.619-9.187), religious belief (OR = 0.445, 95%CI: 1.510-11.181) and working condition (OR = 0.161, 95%CI: 0.299-0.664) entered the regression equation. Old age is a risk factor for chronic diseases. No religious belief and working condition are protective factors for chronic diseases.
