Description
Summary:The fast-paced lifestyle, high-pressure work environment, crowded traffic, and polluted air of urban environments often have a negative impact on urban youth’s mental health.Understanding the factors in urban environments that influence the mental health of young people and the differences among groups can help improve the adaptability and mental health of urban youth. Based on the 2024 report on the health status of urban youth in China, this paper first analyzes this through a combination of multiple linear regression and automated machine learning methods. The key influencing factors of different living styles and environments on the mental health of urban youth and the priority of influencing factors are evaluated. The results are obtained by using the chaos particle swarm optimization-based back propagation neural network (CPSO-BPNN) model. Then, the heterogeneity of the different types of urban youth groups is analyzed. Finally, the conclusions and recommendations of this article are presented. This study provides theoretical support and a scientific decision-making reference for improving the adaptability and health of urban youth.
