〔Abstract〕 To investigate somatization symptoms in adolescents during frequent earthquakes in Hefei, and to explore their correlation with earthquake experiences. Methods A cross-sectional survey was used to select 324 adolescents in Hefei as the survey objects. The self-rating scale of somatization symptoms(SSS)and the fa- tigue intensity scale(FIS)were used to evaluate the somatization symptoms and fatigue degree of middle school stu- dents,and multivariate Logistic regression analysis was used to explore the related factors of somatization symp - toms and fatigue among middle school students. Results A total of 324 adolescents were included,and the overall detection rate of somatization symptoms was 6. 5% ,and the detection rate of moderate or above fatigue was 20. 1%. The results of regression analysis showed that adolescents who were concerned about the earthquake for a longer time (≥1 h)had a higher risk of somatization symptoms(OR=5. 430,95%CI:1. 547-19. 058),and adoles- cents who received pre-earthquake training had a lower degree of fatigue(OR=0. 535,95%CI:0. 292-0. 981)(P< 0. 05). Conclusion During the frequent earthquakes,adolescents have more somatization symptoms and fatigue. Therefore,it is crucial to enhance health education,reduce the emphasis on event-related reports,and implement earthquake prevention and disaster reduction training to improve the physical and mental health of adolescents.
