Interaction between Physical Activity and Problematic Mobile Phone Use on suicidality in Chinese College Students

Abstract Background Previous research has found a relationship between problematic mobile phone use (PMPU) and suicidality. However, few studies have examined the interaction effects between low physical activity (PA) and PMPU on suicidality among college students. This study aimed to examine the interactions of PA and PMPU and their impact on suicidality in a school-based sample among Chinese college students. Methods Analysis is based on date from two university in China, which recruited 4,787 participants. Binomial logistic regression models were used to explore the associations of PA, PMPU with suicidal ideation and suicide attempt, as well as the interaction of PA and PMPU with suicidality. Results The prevalence of suicide attempt and suicidal ideation were 3.5% and 7.2%, respectively. Low PA was significantly associated with suicide attempt (OR = 3.48, 95%CI: 2.52–4.81) and suicidal ideation (OR = 1.90, 95%CI: 1.46–2.46). PMPU was significantly associated with suicide attempt (OR = 3.65, 95%CI: 2.66–5.01) and suicidal ideation (OR = 2.83, 95%CI: 2.25–3.54). Interaction analysis indicated that low PA and PMPU were interactively associated with suicide attempt (OR = 9.51, 95%CI: 6.15–14.73, P < 0.001), RERI = 4.85(1.20–8.50), AP = 0.51(0.29–0.73), SI = 2.32(1.34–4.04). There was no additive interaction effects between PA and PMPU on suicidal ideation. Conclusions The findings reveals that the intervention programs of suicide attempt should consider the students PA levels and PMPU.

Insufficient Physical Activity

Abstract Background Insufficient physical activity (IPA) and mobile phone dependence are common coexisting behaviors among college students. However, the impact of the synergies between the two behaviors on depression has yet to be validated. Therefore, this study evaluated independent and interactive associations of problematic mobile phone use (PMPU) and IPA with depression symptoms and increased depressive symptoms among Chinese college students. Methods In total, 2134 college students participated in this follow-up study, which was conducted between June 2014 (wave 1) and December 2014 (wave 2) at Anhui Medical University. The Self-rating Questionnaire for Adolescent Problematic Mobile Phone Use and the Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale were used to assess PMPU and depression symptoms, respectively. Physical activity (PA) was assessed with a reliable question from the Youth Risk Behavior Survey. Joint effects of PMPU and PA were calculated, and increased depressive symptoms were assessed. We used multivariable-adjusted odds ratios (OR) with 95% confidence intervals (CI) to evaluate associations between depression symptoms and PMPU, IPA, and the PMPU/IPA joint effect, estimated by binary logistic regression models. Results PMPU and high PMPU/IPA joint effect scores were significantly associated with depression symptoms in waves 1 (OR 7.36, 95% CI: 5.09, 10.66) and 2 (OR 3.74, 95% CI: 2.56, 5.48). IPA was significantly associated with depression symptoms in wave 1 (OR 1.40, 95% CI: 1.09, 1.79) but not wave 2 (OR 1.24, 95% CI: 0.95, 1.62). PMPU and high PMPU/IPA joint effect scores were also significantly associated with increased depressive symptoms (OR 2.36, 95% CI: 1.55, 3.60). Conclusions These results suggest that PMPU is an important factor for depression in college students, and IPA may be a synergistic factor.

Abstract Background: Problematic mobile phone use (PMPU) and psychopathological symptoms are great public health concerns in adolescents. Previous studies have shown the associations between PMPU and emotional symptoms, but few studies to explore physical activity (PA) and the neural structures correlated with PA which moderate the relationship between PMPU and emotional symptoms. The aim of current study is to examine the moderating effect of PA and neural basis of such moderating effect on the relation between PMPU and emotional symptoms.Methods: A total of 251 college students underwent magnetic resonance imaging scanning. PMPU, PA and emotional symptom were assessed by self-rating questionnaire for adolescent problematic mobile phone use (SQAPMPU), international physical activity questionnaire (IPAQ-C), and depression anxiety stress scale-21 (DASS-21), respectively. A multiple regression model was performed to detect brain structure-gray matter volume associated with PA by voxel-based morphometry method. Moderating analysis was conducted using PROCESS macro in the SPSS software.Results: PA has significantly moderate effect on the association between PMPU with depressive (β = 0.301, p < 0.05), anxiety (β = 0.328, p < 0.05) and stress (β = 0.343, p < 0.05) symptoms. PA was correlated to the GMV of the right fusiform gyrus, the left precuneus, the left insula, and the left triangular part of inferior frontal gyrus. The relation between PMPU and depressive symptom was moderated by greater GMV of left insula.Conclusions: The findings indicate that high levels of PA can reducing the association between PMPU and emotional symptoms, and further find the GMV of left insula which correlated with PA may play a key role on the relationship between PMPU and depressive symptom. The intervention programs of emotional symptoms and insula-based deep brain stimulation is discussed as future study.
