The mediating effect of perceived stress on the relationship between big five personality traits and suboptimal health status in Chinese population: a nationwide survey in the framework of predictive, preventive, and personalized medicine

ConclusionThis study revealed a high prevalence of SHS in Chinese residents. Personality traits significantly influenced SHS rates, which perceived stress tended to mediate. From a PPPM perspective, early screening and targeted intervention for people with neuroticism (as well as stress alleviation) might contribute to health enhancement and chronic disease prevention.
