Sex-Specific Lifestyle Patterns and Depressive Symptoms in Chinese Adolescents, 2022-2023

Yi Lin's research dataset contains survey data from 19,057 adolescents aged 11–19 years in Ningbo, China, collected between 2022 and 2023. It examines the interplay of sugar-sweetened beverage consumption, screen-based sedentary time, and sleep duration with depressive symptoms, stratified by sex. The dataset was last updated on 2026-05-12.

Use Cases

• Analyze sex-specific associations between combined lifestyle patterns and depressive symptoms based on survey results.
• Model the odds of depressive symptoms based on combinations of sugar-sweetened beverage consumption, screen time, and sleep duration.
• Investigate the prevalence of depressive symptoms among Chinese adolescent boys and girls using the Centre for Epidemiological Studies Depression Scale.

Strengths

• Includes data from 19,057 adolescents, providing a substantial sample size.
• Reports specific prevalence figures for depressive symptoms (14.54% in boys vs. 18.27% in girls).
• Provides adjusted odds ratios (AOR) with 95% confidence intervals for specific lifestyle combinations.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Data may reflect geographic bias inherent to the Ningbo, China sampling area.
