“…The prevalence rates of anxiety disorders (e.g., Guo et al, 2016), schizophrenia (e.g., Chan et al, 2015), poor mental health status among older population (Wang et al, 2016), and older adults loneliness (e.g., Zhong et al, 2018) were particularly high in modern China. In rural China, prevalence of reproductive depression (Cao et al, 2015), elderly suicide rate (e.g., Zhong et al, 2016), adolescents aggression (Huang et al, 2017), mental health problems among left-behind children (Tang et al, 2018; Wang J. et al, 2019) and spouses (Nikoloski et al, 2019), students anxiety (e.g., Liu H. et al, 2018), self-stigma (Ran et al, 2018), general depression (Qiu et al, 2018), and hopelessness among lower-class rural residents (Zhang et al, 2019) were high. Mental disorders were significantly associated with increased risk of suicide attempt in rural China (e.g., Sun et al, 2015; Liu et al, 2017; Liu B.P.…”

The 12-item general health questionnaire (GHQ-12) has been extensively used with Chinese population. Yet, it has not been used from a national representative survey in rural China. The aim of this study was to examine how number of kins associated with the factor structures of the CHQ-12 among the rural residents in China. Data were obtained from the 2009 rural-to-urban migrants survey (RUMiC). Exploratory factor analysis (EFA) (principal component analysis with varimax rotation) was performed to identify factor structures of GHQ-12 regarding number of siblings, age ranking, and number of children. To investigate the reliability of the questionnaire, Cronbach’s alpha was used. Internal consistency was assessed by confirmatory factor analysis (CFA). In all, 32171 rural residents in China from 2009 RUMiC participated in the study. The mean age of the respondents was 37.03 ( SD = 19.21) years. The psychometric properties and factor structures of the GHQ-12 used were described. All of the fit indices in CFA models were satisfactory. The two-factor and three-factor structures gathered the satisfactory fit indexes in the part of 2009 subsamples. The rural version of the GHQ-12 was reliable measures of psychological distress among the rural residents in China with respect to number of kins. The two-and three-factor structures derived from the present sample, with good model fit in the CFA analysis, which suggested that two-and three-factor solution could be used to assess mental health of rural residents in rural China.

“…For example, Raine et al [12] observed that school children with schizotypal traits were likely to suffer from peer victimization. There is also an association between adverse life events and aggression [29] Huang et al found that stressful life events increased the odds of aggression [30]. Considering the above studies, our third hypothesis is that adverse life events may be as important as childhood trauma in mediating the association between schizoid and aggression.…”

Background: This study investigated an association between schizoid and aggressive behaviors in Chinese adolescents, and the influences of childhood trauma and adverse life events on this association.Methods: The cross-sectional data of 3094 adolescents aged 12 to 16 years was collected from an epidemiological survey of child and adolescent mental disorders in Hunan Province, China. All these subjects completed the Achenbach’s Child Behavior Checklist, the Childhood Trauma Questionnaire-Short Form, and the Adolescent Self-rating Life Event Checklist. Use independent-sample t-test, Pearson’s correlation analysis, linear regression, mediation analysis and moderation analysis for data analysis.Results: The regression analysis showed that schizoid (βmale = 0.618, βfemale = 0.637, both P < 0.001) and adverse life events (βmale = 0.113, βfemale = 0.057, all P < 0.01) predicted aggressive behaviors. In addition, childhood trauma predicted aggressive behaviors (female: emotional abuse and sexual abuse (β = 0.118 and –0.062, both P < 0.01). Adverse Life events mediated the association between schizoid and aggressive behaviors in male and female adolescents. Emotional neglect in boys, and emotional abuse and sexual abuse in girls mediated the association. Only in female adolescents, the interaction between childhood trauma and life events affected the association between schizoid and aggressive behaviors (P = 0.023).Conclusions: Schizoid are associated with aggressive behaviors in Chinese adolescents. Life events and childhood trauma mediated the association between schizoid and aggressive behaviors, and the interaction between childhood trauma and life events affected girls’ aggressive behaviors. Hence, reducing childhood trauma and adverse life events can reduce the risk of aggressive behaviors in adolescents.

“…Además, en estos trabajos cabe destacar que obtienen este valor ajustado por diferentes variables a controlar a partir de modelos de regresión logística jerárquica. Por otra parte, cabe comentar que la información recogida en este tipo de estudios puede ser analizada con cualquier técnica tradicional de análisis de datos y, por tanto, en algunos estudios se puede observar que se proporciona el estadístico chi-cuadrado como medida de asociación o se aplican técnicas multivariantes de análisis de datos como pueden ser modelos de regresión, y en concreto la regresión logística, o análisis de la varianza, ya que en este caso, además de tener en cuenta el factor de exposición, también se puede tener en cuenta el efecto de las variables a controlar (Huang et al, 2017).…”

Directrices; Estudios epidemiológicos; Estudios caso-control; Estudios de cohortes Resumen En el presente documento se proporciona una breve guía sobre qué aspectos son relevantes para la planificación de un estudio epidemiológico observacional y, en consecuencia, cuál es la información básica que se debe tener en cuenta para reportar este tipo de estudios. Así pues, se hace una diferenciación entre casos prevalentes y casos incidentes, así como una diferenciación entre estudios descriptivos y estudios relacionales. Los primeros básicamente se utilizan para determinar el estado de salud de la población, en tanto que los segundos se focalizan en el estudio de la etiología del trastorno bajo estudio. En los estudios relacionales, se diferencia entre estudios transversales, de cohortes y caso-control, y para cada uno de ellos se especifican los elementos básicos a tener en cuenta, como por ejemplo, la definición del periodo de observación y, en consecuencia, el tiempo en riesgo, la determinación del estatus de trastorno, el de exposición y otros factores a tener en cuenta. En este último punto se hace especial referencia a la importancia de la fiabilidad y la validez de los instrumentos de medida utilizados para determinar este estatus y, en especial, a medidas propias del ámbito más epidemiológico como es la sensibilidad y la especificidad, así como los valores predictivos.
