Abstract

Aims: To test the Triangle of Human Ecology by examining associations between unipolar depression and different measures of human biological factors, health behaviour, and the physical environment.

Methods: Data originate from the third wave of the Nord-Trøndelag Health Study (2006-2008). The survey was based on a random sample of 50,000 Norwegians (response rate: 54%). Logistic regression was performed, using unipolar depression, measured with the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale score, as outcome variable and 38 explanatory variables.

Results: Biological factors including older age and male gender were associated with higher odds of depression, as were behavioural factors including drinking behaviour and having a neurotic personality. Reduced odds were associated with units of alcohol consumed, extrovert personality and physical activity. Social networks were an environmental factor with reduced odds at both personal and neighbourhood levels, as was warmer outdoor temperatures.

Conclusions: Using the Triangle of Human Ecology provides a holistic insight into how behaviour, biology and the environment influence mental health.

利用人类生态学三角来理解自我评价的抑郁症：一项基于HUNT 3队列的定量研究。

目的：通过研究单极性抑郁症与人类生物因素、健康行为和物理环境的不同衡量标准之间的关系，检验人类生态学的三角性。方法：数据来源于第三波Nord-Trøndelag健康研究（2006-2008）。该调查基于50000挪威人的随机样本（回复率：54%）。使用单极性抑郁进行Logistic回归，以医院焦虑和抑郁量表评分作为结果变量和38个解释变量。结果：年龄较大和男性等生物学因素与抑郁症的发病率较高有关，饮酒行为和神经质人格等行为因素也与抑郁症的患病率较高有关。几率降低与饮酒单位、外向性格和体育活动有关。社交网络是一个环境因素，在个人和社区层面上的几率都降低了，室外温度升高也是如此。结论：使用人类生态学三角模型可以全面了解行为、生物学和环境如何影响心理健康。
