Abstract：Objective To explore the relationship between Internet addiction and sub-health status among adolescents and the mediating role of negative coping styles so as to provide a reference basis for improving sub-health of adolescents. Methods With Adolescent Internet Addiction Scale, Trait Coping Style Questionnaire, and Multidimensional Sub-health Assessment Questionnaire of Adolescent, 1,261 junior and senior middle school students in Guangzhou were surveyed twice with an interval of 9 months. Results Adolescent Internet addiction had a significant positive predictive effect on physical and mental sub-health (P<0.001), and the risk of physical and mental sub-health in the Internet addiction group was 11.11 times that of the normal group. Negative coping styles played a part of mediating role between Internet addiction and adolescents' physical and mentalsub-health (β=1.49, accounting for 53.02% of total effect size). Conclusion Internet addiction can affect adolescents' health through negative coping styles. Early interventions against adolescent Internet addiction can improve the quality of health life of adolescents and effectively prevent the occurrence of sub-health in adolescents.
