Abstract

As a result of globalization, Chinese young adults who transit to adulthood currently are being exposed to a combination of traditional Chinese values such as collectivism and Confucian philosophy, as well as Western individualism. We analyzed the trends in depression prevalence within an 8-year period using panel data derived from young adults in China. The investigation further delved into the multifaceted correlates of depression, including demographic profiles, health-related parameters, and consequential life events. Data were obtained from five cycles, 2010 to 2018, of the China Family Panel Studies (CFPS). Participants included adults aged 18 to 24 years (total analytic sample N = 15,442). Depression symptoms increased in prevalence in Chinese young adults over the eight years; therefore, depression screening should be regularly conducted in this demographic. This study highlights the issue’s gravity and suggests potential correlations with cultural, regional economic development level, gender, religion, hukou (household registration), lifestyle, chronic health conditions, on-going school attendance, and marital factors.

2010 - 2018年中国年轻人抑郁症患病率及相关因素的最新趋势

作为全球化的结果，目前正在过渡到成年期的中国年轻人正在接触到集体主义和儒家哲学等中国传统价值观以及西方个人主义的结合。我们使用来自中国年轻人的面板数据分析了8年内抑郁症流行趋势。调查进一步深入研究了抑郁症的多方面相关因素，包括人口统计资料、健康相关参数和相应的生活事件。数据来自中国家庭小组研究(CFPS) 2010年至2018年的五个周期。参与者包括18至24岁的成年人(总分析样本N = 15,442)。8年来，中国年轻人抑郁症状的患病率有所增加;因此，在这一人群中应该定期进行抑郁症筛查。这项研究强调了这个问题的严重性，并提出了文化、区域经济发展水平、性别、宗教、户口(户籍)、生活方式、慢性健康状况、在校入学率和婚姻因素之间的潜在关联。
