“…Within the studies included to a systematic review, there were such of various sample size, as some of them assessed less than 1000 respondents [5,13,14,17,23,29], but other studied large population-based groups, as in the case of almost 15,000 participants of Global School-Based Health Survey [1], or over 65,000 participants from South Korea, assessed in two studies [7,21]. Based on the presented data, it may be supposed that some of the included studies assessed populations which overlapped, as for indicated South Korean studies [7,21], but for the presented systematic review, they were treated as a separate analysis.…”

“…Poor dietary habits negatively and health behavior positively influence self-esteem. [17] The "Western" dietary pattern at 14 years was associated with higher energy intake and BMI at 14 years (p < 0.05). A "Healthy" dietary pattern (high in fruit, vegetables, fish, whole-grains) was inversely associated with BMI and inflammation at 17 years (p < 0.05).…”

“…Depression has historically been viewed as a condition affecting older adults [3]; however, many patients experience their first episode early in life. individuals, including body mass index (BMI) for adolescents (weight in kilograms divided by the square of the person's height in meters [kg/m 2 ]) [12], depression status and number of previous episodes for recurrent MDD [13,14], neuroticism [15], negative life events [9], and rumination [16].…”

Background: Understanding the factors influencing cognitive reactivity (CR) may help identify individuals at risk for first episode depression and relapse and facilitate routine access to preventative treatments. However, few studies have examined the relationship between CR and depression in Asian countries. This study was performed to assess the current status of CR among Chinese young adults and explore influencing factors. Methods:A national cross-sectional online study using convenience sampling was conducted among 1597 healthy young adults in China (response rate: 93.94%) with a mean age of 24.34 (SD=5.76) years. Results:The mean CR score was 51.36±18.97 (range 0-130). Binary logistic regression showed that a low level of CR was associated with the following factors: high self-compassion, high social support, high resilience, high monthly household income, and living in a rural area, with odds ratios (ORs) ranging from 0.14 to 0.70. Young adults in full-time employment, experiencing poor sleep, with high neuroticism, who reported frequent sad mood, and who had a high intensity of negative life events had increased CR to depression, with ORs ranging from 1.18 to 6.66. The prediction probability of these factors was 75.40%. Causal relationships among the influencing factors and CR could not be explored. Conclusions:The self-reported CR levels among Chinese young adults were moderate. Enhancing self-compassion, resilience, and social support for young adults and reducing negative life events, neuroticism, and poor sleep may help decrease CR. These findings may help healthcare providers or researchers determine how to cultivate and improve the CR of young adults by establishing documented policies and/or improving intervention efficacies.In recent years, young adults aged 18 to 35 years are increasingly recognized as a population group significantly affected by depression [3]. It is estimated that approximately 25% of young adults experience depressive symptoms and 2.5% of these meet the criteria for a major depressive episode, according to the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual for Mental Disorders (DSM-5) major depressive disorder (MDD) criteria [4].Despite existing evidence-based treatments for major depression, it remains a chronic and recurrent illness, with 85% of people who experience a single episode experiencing another within 15 years [5].High rates of depression that remain undetected further enhance its debilitating effects, with over 72.3% of individuals with depression not even being aware of their problem [6]. Globally, young adults are often overlooked, misdiagnosed, or undetected compared to older adults, possibly due to the uncertainties (e.g., initiating the roles and responsibilities of adulthood) young people experience being accompanied by irritability and mood fluctuations [7]. Among those who do not meet the diagnostic criteria for major depression, 10% to 35% experience episodes of low mood or subthreshold depression that significantly impair their quality of life. These alarming statist...

“…Understanding CR and its influencing factors may help target individuals at risk for the first episode and relapse of depression and increase access to preventive treatments, decreasing the personal and societal burdens of depressive disorders [5]. Previous studies have shown that CR can be directly and indirectly affected by some socio-demographic and psychosocial factors including body mass index (BMI) for adolescents (weight in kilograms divided by the square of the person's height in meters [kg/m 2 ]) [11], depression status and number of previous episodes for recurrent MDD [12,13], neuroticism [14], negative life events [8], and rumination of mixed clinical/healthy individuals [15].…”
