Description
Summary:Objective To explore the relationship between air ozone(O3) and depressive, anxiety and stress in residents, and to provide a basis for carrying out mental health intervention. Methods A Depressive Anxiety and Stress Scale (DASS-21) was used to investigate the depressive, anxiety and stress of residents in Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei. Monitoring data from the nearest environmental protection monitoring sites were recorded during the investigation period. Multilevel logistic regression model was used to analyze the relationship between air ozone and depressive, anxiety and stress in residents. Results A total of 13,446 residents, aged 48.50±14.87 years in Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei were investigated. The detection rates of depressive, anxiety and stress were 10.5%, 16.6% and 5.2%, respectively. The three-year average concentration of O3 is 100.20 μg/m3. The result showed that the risk of depressive [OR=1.154, 95% CI(1.119, 1.191)], anxiety [OR=1.093, 95% CI(1.067, 1.120)] and stress [OR=1.142, 95% CI(1.097, 1.189)] increased with each increase of 10 μg /m3 ozone in the 3-year average concentration of long-term exposure. The sensitivity analysis results are relatively stable, which indicates that O3 has an independent effect on the risk of depressive, anxiety and stress. Conclusion The long-term exposure to air O3 might be one of risk factors for depressive, anxiety and stress in people, and suggests that more attention should be paid to the mental health problems of population in heavily polluted area.
