Abstract

Anxiety is a common mental disorder in the community, especially among people aged 18 to 60. The factors associated with anxiety disorders in this age group are diverse and complex. We conducted this study to analyze several factors related to anxiety disorders among individuals aged 18 to 60 in Thai Binh province during the period 2024 - 2025. A cross-sectional descriptive study was carried out on 1,668 eligible participants in Thuy Duyen commune and Tran Lam ward of Thai Binh province, from July 2024 to April 2025. The results showed that anxiety was prevalent among individuals aged 18 to 60, accounting for 14.4%. Through both univariate and multivariate analyses, several factors were identified as significantly associated with an increased risk of anxiety disorders (p < 0.05), including:Demographic factors: female gender (OR = 2.87; 95% CI: 1.89 - 4.37); being widowed (OR = 5.4; 95% CI: 2.31 - 12.6); Medical factors: personal history of anxiety disorders (OR = 11.0; 95% CI: 2.68 - 45.18); having comorbid cardiovascular disease (OR = 3.96; 95% CI: 1.78 - 8.81); Other factors: experiencing psychological trauma related to family (OR = 2.82; 95% CI: 1.03 - 7.74); sleeping less than 6 hours per night (OR = 11.97; 95% CI: 8.01 - 17.9).
