对日常活动时间的某些偏好（时间型）可能会使个人容易出现睡眠问题和情绪障碍。在这项研究中，我们研究了生物钟与抑郁症之间的联系。作为 2007 年芬兰国家 FINRISK 研究的一部分，参与者 (N = 6071) 是从生活在特定地理区域的 25 至 74 岁普通人群中随机抽取的。睡眠类型评估基于原始霍恩-奥斯特伯格早晚问卷中的六个项目。抑郁症通过四项自我报告的项目进行评估，包括两项用于诊断重性抑郁发作、诊断或治疗抑郁症以及抗抑郁药物使用的调查。我们还分析了生物钟与一些健康指标之间的相关性，例如收缩压和舒张压、静息心率、体重和腰围。夜间型（2.7 至 4.1 倍）和中间型（1.5 至 1.9 倍）的一系列抑郁指标的比值比高于早晨型。我们的研究结果表明，喜欢在晚上进行日常活动的人容易患抑郁症。 （作者通讯：ilona.merikanto@helsinki.fi）
Certain preferences for the timing of daily activities (chronotype) may predispose an individual to sleep problems and mood disorders. In this study, we have examined the link between chronotypes and depression. Participants (N = 6071) were recruited from a random sample of the general population aged 25 to 74 yrs living in defined geographical areas, as part of the National FINRISK Study in 2007 in Finland. Chronotype assessment was based on six items from the original Horne-Ostberg Morningness-Eveningness Questionnaire. Depression was assessed with four self-reported items, including two probes for a diagnosis of a major depressive episode, diagnosed or treated depression, and use of antidepressants. We also analyzed correlations between chronotype and several health indicators, such as systolic and diastolic blood pressures, resting heart rate, weight, and waist circumference. The odds ratios for a range of indicators of depression were higher for evening types (2.7- to 4.1-fold) and intermediate types (1.5- to 1.9-fold) than for morning types. Our results suggest that individuals having a preference for evening hours to carry out their daily activities are prone to depression. (Author correspondence: ilona.merikanto@helsinki.fi)
