“…A 30-day diary study showed that poorer sleep quality and shorter sleep duration predicted higher second-day anxiety symptoms in communitydwelling young adults [18]. Moreover, Yuan et al found that poor sleep quality was signi cantly associated with the higher odd of social anxiety (HR = 2.54 [1.99, 3.25] ) [19]. Researchers explained that changes in neural network activity (such as hypersensitivity in brain regions that signal social rejection) appear among individuals with insu cient sleep, leading to social withdrawal and avoidance of social interaction [20].…”

Background Social anxiety symptoms are common and harmful psychological illness in college students. Although some studies have illustrated that physical activity could reduce social anxiety symptoms, the specific mechanism is still unclear. Based on theoretical studies on resilience and sleep, this study constructed a chain mediation model to explore whether they mediate between physical activity and social anxiety symptoms among college students. Methods This study surveyed 9,530 college students from three colleges in China to explore the mediating effect of physical activity and sleep problems between physical activity and social anxiety symptoms. Participants were investigated with the International Physical Activity Questionnaire, Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale, Sleep-related problems, and the Social Interaction Anxiety Scale and the Social Phobia Scale. Result The study found that physical activity was negatively associated with social anxiety symptoms and sleep problems, but positively with psychological resilience. After controlling for sociodemographic variables, physical activity can not only indirectly alleviate social anxiety symptoms through the separate mediation of psychological resilience and sleep problems, but also through the chain mediation of psychological resilience and sleep problems. Conclusion These results suggest that improving physical activity levels could reduce social anxiety scores by increasing psychological resilience and sleep quality. This is of great reference significance for the prevention and intervention of college students' mental health.

ObjectivesTo investigate the association among sun exposure time, vitamin D intake, dietary patterns, and socioeconomic status in Portuguese children.MethodsParticipants aged 3–11 years (50.1% females) were recruited from public and private schools (n = 118) in the districts of Coimbra (n = 2980), Lisbon (n = 3066), and Porto (n = 2426). Parents reported their children's daily sun exposure time during the summer season and reported children's food consumption, including vitamin D food sources, using standardized questionnaires. Parents' education level was used as a proxy measure to the socioeconomic status (SES). The principal component factor analysis (PCA) method was used to identify dietary patterns. The eight dietary patterns identified were labeled in: “fast food”, “rich in vitamin D”, “sugary drinks”, “vitamin D”, “candies”, “supplements”, “rich in calcium” and “vegetables/healthy”. Linear regression analyses were performed to investigate the association between sun exposure time and dietary patterns according to SES.ResultsA total of 4755 children were included. Children from high SES had significantly longer sun exposure time (p < .001) and more frequently consumed vitamin D supplements (p < .001). “Fast food” pattern showed a negative association with sun exposure time in medium and high SES (p = .014 and p < .001, respectively).ConclusionChildren with lower SES spend less time exposed to the sun, consume fewer dietary sources of vitamin D, and consume more foods rich in fat and sugar.
