      ab: Purpose: To examine the association between life stress, uncertainty stress and self-reported illness among Chinese college students.Methods: Participants were 11,942 students who were identified through a multistage survey sampling process that included 50 universities. Stress and illness status were obtained by self-report. Both unadjusted and adjusted methods were considered in the analyses.Results: <italic>Self</italic>-reported short- and long-term illness prevalences were 27.4% (95% CI: 23.9%-30.8%) and 20.0% (95% CI: 17.0%-23.1%), respectively. The logistic regression model found that while uncertainty stress was associated with both categories of illness, life stress was not related to either category of illness.Conclusion: These findings underscore the importance of controlling uncertainty stress and can be used to inform future policies and reinforce the need for uncertainty stress management in China.
