Health status analysis of blood donors:based on the ordinal multinomial logistic regression model
Objective To explore the characteristics of lifestyle behaviors and mental health status among blood donors in Guangzhou,and to investigate the correlation between donation frequency and these factors. Methods A cross-sectional study was conducted among 13042 whole blood donors from 17 street blood donation sites of Guangzhou Blood Center from May to August 2020. Descriptive analysis was used to describe the characteristics of lifestyle behaviors and mental health status among blood donors in Guangzhou. Ordinal multinomial logistic regression model was used to analyze the correlation between donation frequency and these factors. Results It was found that some of 13042 blood donors had unhealthy hab-its,such as 6.8％ (698/10214,2828 missing values)had severe tobacco dependence,30.6％ (3997/13042) had low exercise levels,38.8％(5056/13042)had poor sleep quality,and 2.2％ (271/12159,883 missing values) had alcohol dependence. In addition,2.8％ (364/13042) and 1.3％ (172/13042) of the donors may have moderate to severe de-pression and anxiety symptoms,respectively. The results of the ordinal multinomial logistic regression model showed that ex-ercise level was significantly negatively correlated with the degree of depression and anxiety among blood donors. With the decrease in exercise level,the possibility of depression and anxiety among donors increased significantly. BMI,household income,education level,marital status,donation frequency,alcohol consumption and smoking had no significant correlation with the mental health status of donors. Conclusion Improving the exercise habits of blood donors may help enhance their mental health level. It is recommended that blood station staff strengthen the content of exercise when providing health edu-cation to blood donors to maintain a healthy lifestyle. It also suggests that there may be a certain degree of under-diagnosis of mental health problems in the process of health consultation before blood donation,and conducting more comprehensive and effective mental health assessments for blood donors is recommended.
