这项研究调查了来自16个国家的2091名男大学生和3438名女大学生的抑郁症状、社会支持和一系列个人健康行为之间的关系。采用Short Beck抑郁量表和社会支持问卷测量抑郁症状和社会支持，并对9种个人健康行为进行评估。在考虑了年龄、社会支持和按国家分组后，抑郁症状与男性和女性缺乏体力活动、不吃早餐、睡眠时间不规律、不使用安全带有关，此外，在女性中，还与吸烟、不吃水果和不使用防晒霜有关。在男性和女性中，低社会支持与低饮酒、缺乏体育活动、睡眠时间不规律和不使用安全带独立相关。双向因果关系很可能将健康行为与抑郁情绪联系在一起。
This study investigated the relationship of depressive symptoms, social support, and a range of personal health behaviors in 2,091 male and 3,438 female university students from 16 countries. Depressive symptoms and social support were measured using the short Beck Depression Inventory and the Social Support Questionnaire; 9 personal health behaviors were also assessed. After the authors took age, social support, and clustering by country into account, depressive symptoms were significantly associated with lack of physical activity, not eating breakfast, irregular sleep hours, and not using a seat belt in both men and women, and additionally with smoking, not eating fruit, and not using sunscreen among women. Low social support was independently associated with low alcohol consumption, lack of physical activity, irregular sleep hours, and not using a seat belt in men and women. Bidirectional causal pathways are likely to link health behaviors with depressed mood.
