Younger adult population segments in China are at a higher risk of developing depression, according to a study, with the 18-24 age category holding the highest risk. Factors influencing depression risk include employment status, income level, number of working hours, and family and external support. Younger adult population segments are more likely to be unemployed and have lower incomes, placing them at risk for developing depression. Burnout holds a detrimental effect on depression risk, according to a study, with detection rates for depression exceeding 40% for those experiencing severe work burnout. Marital status may also influence depression risk, with married individuals exhibiting the lowest risk and unmarried individuals facing the highest, according to the survey. Beyond marital status, factors like exercise and sleep habits likely play crucial roles in both preventing and managing depression.
