“…In China, the overall health level of graduate students has been studied from physical exercise and health [16,17], overall health [18] and other aspects. In the research on postgraduate health abroad, it is also believed that mental health and physical health should be considered as a unified whole [19], and physiological and psychological health should be recognized as having a very significant internal correlation [20].…”

From the perspective of "overall health", this paper discusses the situation of healthy life of graduate students and its influencing factors. On the basis of reference to existing research and relevant mature scales, an indicator system for evaluating the overall health of graduate students is established. A random sampling survey is conducted with the graduate students of Southwest Forestry University as the research object. The rationality of the health indicator system is verified through exploratory (EFA) and confirmatory (CFA) factor analysis, through the comprehensive scoring method, mean comparison, Pearson correlation analysis and binary logistic regression analysis, it was found that the overall health of the graduate students in this school was basically qualified, and age, marital status and grade had significant effects on the overall health of the graduate students. Therefore, the overall health status of the postgraduate group should be paid attention to by relevant departments and education subjects. Strengthening management education and continuing to improve relevant research will be beneficial to the promotion of the overall health level of the postgraduate group.

Objectives: The paper analyses the impact of socio-demographic characteristics of the employees in conditions of uncertainty in the organizations. Material and Methods:The study was conducted on a sample of 210 employees using the Mental Health , Satisfaction with life scale (SWLS), and the Center for Epidemiological Studies -Depression (CES-D). Results: The results showed that female respondents had significantly higher scores on ANX (t = 2,278, p < 0.05), while male employees had higher scores on life satisfaction (t = 2.103, p < 0.05). Older employees have a higher tendency for loss of emotional-behavioral control (F = 4.427, p < 0.05). Respondents who have satisfying living standards have also higher scores on SWLS (t = 2.257, p < 0.05). Respondents who have dissatisfying living standard have higher scores on generally positive affect (t = 3.152, p < 0.01), life satisfaction (t = 3.571, p < 0.01), psychological distress (t = 2.929, p < 0.01) and loss of emo tional-behavioral control (t = 2.361, p < 0.05). Employees with different levels of educational background have similar tendencies in life satisfaction, mental health, and depressive symptoms (p > 0.05). Conclusions: The study showed that the specific socio-demographic profile of the employees is related to higher levels of mental health issues. Specifically, the mental health of female and older employees have been especially affected and disturbed by uncertain conditions. The results can be potentially used both in the terms of designing activities that support the mental health of the population, as well as in relation to the mental health of employees.
