UNASSIGNED: Background and Purpose: Fatigue is one of the most common symptoms reported in several studies; but few studies have concentrated on the male population, especially for the middle-aged and older @entity1 who are exposed to greater @entity1295 risk. The purpose of this study was to explore the prevalence of @entity1295 and identify the risk factors of @entity1295 among @entity1 aged 45 and older in China. Methods: This study was part of a cross-sectional study on community health in Shunde (Guangdong Province, China). A total sample of 1158 @entity1 aged 45 and older were included. Sociodemographic characteristics, health and lifestyle factors and the Chalder Fatigue Scale (CFS) were measured by structured questionnaires through face-to-face interviews. Multivariate logistic regression was applied to determine the risk factors of @entity1295 . Results: Approximately 30% of @entity1 experienced @entity1295 . Older age (>= 75 years: adjusted OR 3.88, 95% CI 2.09-7.18), single marital status (1.94, 1.04-3.62), unemployed status (1.68, 1.16-2.43), number of self-reported @entity102 (>= 2 @entity102 : 2.83, 1.86-4.31), number of individuals' @entity1 (>= 4 @entity1 : 2.35, 1.33-4.15), hospitalization in the last year (1.61, 1.03-2.52) were all significantly associated with increased risk of @entity1295 , while regular exercise (0.46, 0.32-0.65) was a protective factor against @entity1295 . Conclusions: Fatigue was usual in males and several factors were associated with the @entity1295 . These findings may have implication in risk assessment of @entity1295 and help in developing and implementing targeted interventions in middle-aged and elderly males.
