Abstract:
  Objective   To explore the association between total cholesterol and type 2 diabetes(T2 DM).   Methods   Non-diabetic people who aged 20 to 90 years at the baseline and who had physical examination more than 2 times were screened. Comparisons of the baseline characteristics were conducted with Student-t test or Pearson chi-square test. Generalized estimating equation(GEE) was used to analyze the effect of total cholesterol of quantiles groups(2.10-mmol/L, 4.16-mmol/L, 4.76-mmol/L and 5.42-13.29 mmol/L) to type 2 diabetes.   Results   The cohort with an average age of 3.53 years per person included 12 928 subjects and 45 626 person-years. During the follow-up, 447 cases of new-onset diabetes occurred and the incidence density was 9.80‰. The high incidence of type 2 diabetes increased with the increase of total cholesterol. After adjusting the factors including age, high density lipoprotein, hypertension and obesity, based on the 2.10-mmol/L group, the relative risk(RR) of the 4.16-mmol/L, 4.76-mmol/L and 5.42-13.29 mmol/L group were 1.24(95% CI:0.83-1.86), 1.75(95% CI:1.19-2.56)and 3.60(95% CI:2.51-5.17), respectively.   Conclusions   Total cholesterol is associated with type 2 diabetes, and as the total cholesterol increases, the risk of developing type 2 diabetes increases.

Abstract:
  Objective   To investigate the association between physical activity and glucose metabolism during the second trimester of pregnancy.   Methods   A cross-sectional study was conducted from March 2017 to November 2018. 1 083 pregnant women at 20-28 weeks of gestation in Guangzhou, China were recruited into this study. A standardized questionnaire was used to collect demographics and lifestyles. Physical activity was assessed by the international physical activity questionnaire. The participants underwent an oral glucose tolerance test. Multiple linear regression was used to analyze the association between physical activity and blood glucose. Logistic regression analysis model was used to analyze the association between physical activity and gestational diabetes mellitus(GDM).   Results   Only 36.57% of pregnant women met the recommended level of total physical activity. There was a negative correlation(β=-0.104, P=0.017) between total physical activity and postprandial 2 h blood glucose.   Results   from different types of physical activities showed that the recreation, sport, and leisure-time physical activity were negatively associated with postprandial 1 h blood glucose(β=-0.114, P=0.042). No significant association was found between either various types of physical activities or sedentary time and GDM.   Conclusions   Physical activity during mid-pregnancy is inadequate in pregnant women in Guangzhou, China. Higher total physical activity and recreation, sport, and leisure-time physical activity in the second trimester of pregnancy are associated with lower postprandial blood glucose.

Abstract:
  Objective   To examine whether polymorphisms of histone deacetylase(HDACs) and environment factors can be implicated in type 2 diabetes mellitus(T2 DM), and to provide evidence for the prevention and treatment of T2 DM.   Methods   In 2017, T2 DM patients and controls were selected from 17 villages in Huadu District, Guangzhou. According the Diagnostic criteria for T2 DM, the case group of T2 DM was matched with control group from the population diagnosed as normal by gender, age no more than 5 years old, and from the same natural village. Conditional logistic regression model was used to analyze the effect of gene and environment and their interaction on T2 DM.   Results   The average age of 499 cases group were(61.53±13.08) years old, and the average age of 499 controls group were(61.48±13.09) years old. There were no statistic difference between two groups. Furthermore, the two groups were gender-balanced too. In conditional logistic regression model, we found that glycerin trilaurate(TG) abnormalities(OR=2.410, 95% CI: 1.755-3.310, P < 0.001) and cholesterol total(TC) abnormalities(OR=1.436, 95% CI: 1.046-1.972, P=0.025) were risk factors for T2 DM. The subjects carries rs72792338 TC+TT genotype(OR=0.526, 95% CI: 0.349-0.793, P=0.002) had lower the risk to develop T2 DM.   Conclusions   Abnormal TG and TC are risk factors for T2 DM. Rs72792338 TT and TC genotype carryings decrease the risk of T2 DM.

Abstract:
  Objective   To investigate the correlation between serum complement C1 q/tumor necrosis factor-related protein-3(CTRP3) and serum uric acid levels in patients with newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes mellitus(T2 DM).   Methods   A total of 152 patients with newly diagnosed T2 DM from Central Theater Command General Hospital were enrolled. Based on the visceral fat area(VFA), the subjects were divided into non-abdominal obesity group [AO(-) group](n=79) and abdominal obesity group [AO(+) group](n=73). Spearman correlation analysis was used to analyze the correlation between serum CTRP3 and uric acid as well as other parameters.Multiple stepwise regression analysis model was used to analyze the independent effect of CTRP3 on serum uric acid levels in patients with newly diagnosed T2 DM.   Results   When compared with AO(-) group, patients in AO(+) group had higher levels of serum uric acid(P=0.029) and lower CTRP3(P < 0.001). Spearman correlation analysis showed that CTRP3 was negatively correlated with serum uric acid in the whole subjects and AO(+) group(r=-0.180, r=-0.518, all P < 0.05). However, there was no correlation between CTRP3 and uric acid as well as other parameters in AO(-) group(allP > 0.05). Multiple stepwise regression analysis demonstrated that CTRP3 was an independent contributor to serum uric acid levels in AO(+) group(β=-0.290, P=0.005), while not in AO(-) group.   Conclusions   Serum CTRP3 was an independent influencing factor and negatively correlated with serum uric acid levels in patients with newly diagnosed T2 DM, in an obesity-dependent manner.

Abstract:
  Objective   To investigate the association between social engagement and depression among Chinese aged 50 and over.   Methods   Cross-sectional data was collected from the World Health Organization(WHO) study on global ageing and adult health(SAGE) wave 1 in China. The International Classification of Diseases 10 th revision depression scale(ICD-10) was used to evaluate the depression status of the respondents and the score of social engagement originating the frequency of social activities of the research population. All models were stratified by age groups, gender and residence. The Logistic regression analyses model were performed to identify the association between social engagement and depression.   Results   A total of 12 196 participants were included. The detection rate of depression was 1.72%(95% CI:1.54%-2.00%).The negative association between social engagement and depression was obtained in the multiple regression(OR=0.94, 95% CI: 0.90-0.98, P=0.006) after adjusting the factors of age, sex, residence, education level, household income, marital status, physical activity level, smoking and drinking status. In stratified analysis, the association was only statistically significant in urban, female, and 50-60 age groups(all P < 0.05).   Conclusion   This study found significant association between social engagement and depression, indicating that pertinence measures may help prevent depression in elderly population by enhancing social engagement.

Abstract(558) HTML (311) PDF(80)
Abstract:
  Objective   To analyze the association between circadian disruption and depressive symptoms in Chongqing young males.   Methods   Among 587 male college students in Chongqing, the Chinese version of the Munich chronotype questionnaire(MCTQ) was used to measure social jetlag(an indicator of circadian disruption), mean sleep duration and chronotype, which reflected individual biological clock. Depression symptom was measured using standard score of the Self-rating Depression Scale(SDS).   Results   The subjects' social jetlag was 0.9(0.5 to 1.3) h. There was a strong correlation between social jetlag and chronotype indicator(correlation coefficient = 0.58, P < 0.001).The social jetlag was positively correlated with the SDS standard score. For every 0.5 hour increase in the social jetlag, the SDS standard score increased by 2.1%(95%CI: 0.5%-3.5%, P= 0.011).   Conclusion   There is a correlation between social jetlag and SDS standard score, suggesting that circadian disruption may be related to depressive symptom.

Abstract(540) HTML (334) PDF(34)
Abstract:
  Objective   To explore the relationship between leukocyte telomere length(LTL)in peripheral blood and the risk of mild cognitive impairment(MCI)in elderly subjects.   Methods   This was a case-control study. Healthy controls and subjects with MCI were recruited from five communities in Wangdingdi Street, Nankai District, Tianjin from October 2017 to December 2017. Questionnaires were conducted and venous blood samples were collected from each subject. LTL was assessed using real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction assay(qPCR). Multiple logistic regression model was performed to analyze the relationship between LTL for each level group and the risk of MCI.   Results   A total of 183 participants was enrolled for each group. The level of serum LTL was 1.44±0.23 in the MCI group, which was lower than 1.66±0.23 in the control group(Z=-8.94, P < 0.001). There was a significant correlation between lower levels of LTL and the risk for MCI after adjusting variables for age, gender, education, smoking, alcohol consumption, diabetes, hypertension, and heart disease(allP < 0.05). Compared with the first level group of LTL, the adjusted odds ratio(OR) and 95% confidence interval(95% CI) for the risk of MCI were 0.262(0.130-0.531) for the second level group, 0.088(0.043-0.180) for the third level group, and 0.083(0.040-0.169) for the fourth level group.   Conclusions   Short leukocyte telomere length in peripheral blood appears to be an independent risk factor for the incidence of MCI. And with the decrease of LTL, the risk of MCI increased.

Abstract(584) HTML (210) PDF(47)
Abstract:
  Objective   To study the influence of environment knowledge on environment protection behavior, and analyze moderating effect of social class on the relationship between environment knowledge and environment protection behavior.   Methods   Based on Chinese general social survey(CGSS) 2013, 5 746 residents aged from 18 to 60 were selected as subjects. Moderating effect model was used to explore social class' s moderation on the relationship between environment knowledge and protection behavior.   Results   Residents' environment protection behaviors were divided into private environment protection behaviors and public environment protection behaviors. Multiple linear regression results showed that residents' environment knowledge influenced private environment protection behaviors(β=0.18, P < 0.001), and public environment protection behaviors(β=0.02, P=0.028). Moderating effect analysis showed that self-reported social rank had a negative moderating effect between residents' environment knowledge and public environment protection behavior(β=-0.01, P=0.020), but had no moderating effect on private environment protection behavior. There were also negative moderating effects of education level.   Conclusion   Environment education policy should focus on residents with relatively low social classes, so as to maximize policy effectiveness.

Abstract:
  Objective   To assess the prevalence of passive smoking during pregnancy, and toexplore the effect of passive smoking during pregnancy on pregnancy complications and outcomes.   Methods   A total of 8 926 postpartum women who delivered live singletons between April, 2012 to March, 2013 in 15 hospitals were enrolled. A self-made questionnaire was used to collect general information, occurrence of passive smoking during pregnancy, pregnancy complications and outcomes. Logistic regression models were used to analyze the effect of passive smoking during pregnancy on pregnancy complications and outcomes.   Results   A total of 1 801 women had experienced passive smoking during pregnancy. After adjusting for covariates, women who experienced passive smoking during pregnancy had an increased risk of gestational diabetes mellitus(OR=1.359, 95% CI:1.146-1.612, P < 0.001), premature rupture of membranes(OR=1.290, 95% CI:1.095-1.520, P=0.002), preterm birth(OR=1.367, 95% CI:1.155-1.619, P < 0.001), and delivering low birth weight infants(OR=1.341, 95% CI:1.079-1.668, P=0.008). Compared to those who did not experience passive smoking, women experienced passive smoking≥4 days/week had an increased risk of premature rupture of membranes(OR=1.402, 95% CI:1.104-1.780, P=0.006), preterm birth(OR=1.690, 95% CI:1.339-2.132, P < 0.001), and low birth weight(OR=1.584, 95% CI:1.172-2.141, P=0.023).   Conclusions   In this study, passive smoking during pregnancy is prevalent, and passive smoking during pregnancy may increase the risk of pregnancy outcomes like gestational diabetes mellitus, premature rupture of membranes, preterm birth and low birth weight.

Abstract:
  Objective   To understand the environmental and health literacy of medical students in minority areas of Gansu province, so as to provide scientific basis for improving the environmental and health literacy of this population.   Methods   Questionnaire was designed based on the "core questions of citizen environmental and health literacy assessment" in the "technical guide for citizen environmental and health literacy assessment(trial)" issued by the Ministry of Ecology and Environment of the People's Republic of China. Stratified cluster random sampling was used to select 1 620 medical students in the minority areas of Gansu Province for questionnaire survey.   Results   The proportion of medical students with environmental and health literacy in minority areas of Gansu Province was only 3.9%. In the first level classification literacy, the basic skills literacy level was the highest(39.0%), and the basic knowledge literacy level was the lowest(1.3%). Among the sub-categories, the cognitive skills were the highest(83.9%), and the scientific knowledge was the lowest(1.3%). The results of univariate analysis showed that there were statistical differences in owning rates of environmental and health literacy among medical students of different grades and nationalities. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that ethnicity, grade, and age were influencing factors of environmental and health literacy.   Conclusions   The environmental and health literacy level of medical students in minority areas of Gansu Province is very low, especially in terms of basic knowledge. Environmental and health education should carry out in these schools to improve students' environmental health literacy.

Abstract:
  Objective   To analyze the epidemiological and spatial cluster of scarlet fever in Shandong Province from 2011 to 2018, and to provide scientific evidence for the prevention and control of scarlet fever.   Methods   Data of scarlet fever reported cases in Shandong province from 2011 to 2018 were collected and analyzed by the descriptive epidemiological method and spatial autocorrelation method.   Results   A total of 45 936 scarlet fever cases were reported in Shandong province from 2011 to 2018. The average annual incidence was 5.84/100 000 and showed an increasing trend(χ趋势2= 5 317.16, P < 0.001). There were more cases concentrated from April to June and from November to January.The ratio of male to female was 1.62:1, with the higher prevalence(88.94%) among the total cases aged 3 to 9 years. The majority of scarlet fever cases were preschool children(42.42%), students(36.94%) and scattered children(19.50%), respectively.The global spatial autocorrelation analysis showed that the Moran's I indexes for the incidence were 0.374, 0.452, 0.411, 0.439, 0.437, 0.418, 0.478 and 0.465(all P < 0.001)respectively, suggesting that the incidence of scarlet fever had spatial clustering features in Shandong Province from 2011 to 2018. The local spatial auto correlation analysis showed that high-high clustering areas were mainly distributed in main urban districts of Jinan city and Qingdao city. Areas that located in the southwestern and northwestern parts of Shandong presented the low-low relation.   Conclusions   The epidemic and spatial clustering of scarlet fever existed in Shandong Province during 2011-2018. The surveillance and management on scarlet fever should be strengthened and the targeted prevention and control efforts should be focused on high incidence seasons, high risk populations and high clustering areas, so as to control the spread of scarlet fever.

Abstract:
  Objective   This study aims to know the incidence of hepatitis C and provide scientific opinions and suggestions for prevention and control of hepatitis C through analyzing the characteristics of hepatitis C in Hubei Province from 2004 to 2018.   Methods   Data of hepatitis C reported cases in the infectious disease report information management system were collected, analyzed and predicted by time series model.   Results   The incidence of hepatitis C continued to increase, from 1.82/105 in 2004 to 18.51/105 in 2018, with an average annual growth rate of 18.01%. The incidence of hepatitis C in all age groups increased from 2004 to 2018. In the same year, the incidence rate increased initially and then decreased with the elder age group. The peak was in 60-70 age group. Among the new diagnosed patients with hepatitis C, the top three occupations were farmers, housework and unemployed, retired people, accounting for more than 80% of the total. According to the prediction of time series model, the incidence of hepatitis C could exceed 24.88/105 after 5 years if no effective control measures were taken.   Conclusions   The incidence of hepatitis C is still rising, and it has significant population and spatial distribution pattern. It is necessary to pay attention and take effective measures to reduce the incidence of new infections and diseases onset.

Pairwise sequence alignments and phylogenetic analysis were performed by Blasts, Clustal X 2.1 and Mega 6.1 softwares.   Results   A total of 23 cases of human infection with H5 N6 avian influenza virus occurred in China from 2014 to 2018. The HA and NA genes of H5 N6 virus from 19 cases were analyzed. HA evolutionary analysis showed that viruses belonged to Clade 2.3.4.4, of which 17 cases belonged to Group C; the first H5 N6 strain(A/Sichuan/26221/2014) belonged to Group D; and a Fujian case strain(A/Fujian-Sanyuan/21099/2017) belonged to Group B. The cleavage sites of HA protein of 29 strains of viruses in all 19 cases contained multiple basic amino acids. The 226-228 amino acids at the receptor binding sites of HA proteins of all viruses were QS(R) G(amino acids are sequenced according to the HA sequence of H3 subtype). In addition to one case in Guangzhou in 2014, the HA protein of 18 isolates mutated in T160 A, resulting in loss of glycosylation at 158 N site. In addition to A/Sichuan/26221/2014, 10 amino acids were deleted in 58-68 sites of NA proteins of strains from 18 cases. E627 K mutation occurred in 17 strains of virus PB2 protein from 9 cases.   Conclusions   From 2014 to 2018, the evolution of H5 N6 virus infection in China is active, and there is obvious genetic diversity. It is necessary to strengthen the monitoring of the evolution of H5 N6 viruses in China.

Abstract:
With the increase of average life expectancy, it is significant to improve the well-being and mental health of the elderly. Among the theories of mental health promotion, the emerging theory of salutogenesis has attracted academic attention. It explains the development process of health and disease from the perspective of individuals' ability to cope with stress and stimulation, and emphasizes how to use resources to enhance the coping ability. We integrated domestic and overseas quantitative research literatures regarding the relationship between core components of salutogenesis(sense of coherence, generalized resistant resources) and mental health to summarize associations among sense of coherence, generalized resistant resources and mental health. This study would provide research basis for mental health development mechanism research and intervention strategies in aged population.

Abstract:
  Objective   To analyze the death trend of road traffic injury in Hebei province from 2014 to 2018, and to discuss the feasibility of autoregressive integrated moving average model(ARIMA) in the prediction of road traffic injury deaths trend.   Methods   Descriptive epidemiological method was used to analyze the general situation of road traffic injury deaths in Hebei province from 2014 to 2018. R 3.5.3 was used to establish the ARIMA prediction model for the monthly death cases of road traffic injury in Hebei province from January 2014 to June 2018. The overall regression was used to observe the fitting effect, the predicted value and the real value were compared from July to December in 2018 to evaluate the prediction effect.   Results   A total of 13 147 road traffic injury deaths from 2014 to 2018 were reported by Hebei province. The number of road traffic injury deaths was 10 071 males and 3 076 females, with an annual mortality rate of 17.79/100 000, showing a downward trend overall. The best prediction model is ARIMA(0, 1, 1)(0, 1, 1)12. Akaike information criterion(AIC) is 390.64, Schwarz Bayesian criterion(SBC) is 395.78, the residual sequence is white noise sequence(P > 0.05), and the parameters of the model are significantly non-zero(P < 0.05). The actual values of the prediction results all fall within the 95% confidence interval of the predicted values, and the relative error between the predicted values and the actual values is between 1.15% and 11.85%. The root mean square error(RMSE) is 13.65, the mean absolute error(MAE) is 10.88, and the mean average percentage error(MAPE) is 4.80%. The prediction performance of the model is good.   Conclusions   The overall road traffic injury deaths in Hebei province show a downward trend year by year. ARIMA model can be used to predict the short-term trend of road traffic injury deaths.

Abstract:
  Objective   To construct a score system for predicting the prognosis of atrial fibrillation(AF) in China, and to compare its predictive ability.   Methods   A total of 275 patients with new-onset AF were continuously enrolled in the study. The outcome events of follow-up included stroke and all-cause mortality. Prognostic-related epidemiological and clinical information were collected. The blood concentration of N-terminal B-type natriuretic peptide(NT-proBNP), high-sensitivity troponin T(hs-cTnT) and growth differentiation factor(GDF)-15 were detected. A Cox proportional hazards regression model was used to develop novel risk scoring system. C-statistics and calibration plots were used to estimate and compare the predictive ability of risk scores.   Results   Multivariate Cox regression analysis showed that history of diabetes, history of transient ischemic attack, history of stroke and plasma level of NT-proBNP were independently associated with the risk of stroke. Age, history of heart failure, plasma level of hs-cTnT and GDF-15 were independent risk factors of all-cause mortality. The C-statistic of the stroke-risk score was similar to that of the CHA2 DS2-VASc score and ABC(age, biomarker, clinical history)-stroke score; the C-statistic of the death-risk score was similar to that of ABC-death score and significantly higher than that of the CHA2 DS2-VASc score.   Conclusions   The stroke and death risk scoring system of atrial fibrillation patients constructed in this study showed a good predictive performance. The nomograms of these scoring systems are expected to be auxiliary tools for clinical decision-making.

Abstract:
  Objective   To investigate the status and impact factors of fall among elderly people in Wuhan Province, so as to provide scientific basis for preventing falls among elderly.   Methods   A total of 387 476 elders were collected by questionnaire survey and medical examination from health status census on all elder people aged over 65 in Wuhan. SAS 9.4 was used for descriptive analysis, chi-square test and multivariate Logistic regression analysis.   Results   The report rate of falls among elderly people in 2018 was 3.44%. The rate in urban area(4.42%) was higher than that in rural area(2.39%)and the rate in female(4.22%) was higher than that in male(2.47%). 46.48% falls occurred at home. Sprains/strains(accounted for 31.07%) was the mainly fall injury. Logistic regression analysis showed that female, slightly or moderate dependent self-care ability, hands cannot put behind the head, could not pick up things on the floor, osteoarticular diseases, eye disease and stroke were the main risk factors of falls in elderly people.   Conclusions   The report rate of fall in elderly people is 3.44%. In this study, weakened self-care ability, diminished exercise ability, osteoarticular diseases, eye disease, stroke are the major risk factors for falls in the elderly people.

Abstract:
  Objective   To investigate the associations between lifestyle factors and social network and cognitive impairment among the elderly in three communities in China using decision tree and random forest.   Methods   1 200 elderly individuals were selected from three communities in Beijing, Hefei, and Lanzhou by using a random cluster sampling method. Data was collected on lifestyle, social network and cognition. Decision tree and random forest analysis were conducted to identify the associations between lifestyle and cognitive impairment.   Results   A total 1 115 participants(92.9%) were administered questionnaires. The prevalence of cognitive impairment was 25.7%(n=287). Females exhibited a higher risk compared to males(P < 0.001), and there is a positive association between the risk of cognitive impairment and age(P=0.002). In the decision tree and random forest models, age, sex, activities, and sleep were associated with cognitive impairment, while the associations of smoking, alcohol and tea consumption were not significant in this study. The areas under the ROC curves were 0.64 for the decision tree, and 0.94 for the random forest model.   Conclusions   Classification models can help identify associations between cognitive impairment and lifestyle risk factors. Identification and intervention of risk factors are crucial in delay and prevention of cognitive impairment and in the improvement of quality of life among the elderly.

Abstract:
  Objective   To investigate the effects of levels of mercury, manganese, nickel, copper, zinc, arsenic, cadmium, and lead in serum during early pregnancy on missed abortion, and to provide clues for the study of the cause of missed abortion.   Methods   Twenty-one pairs of aborted patients of the same age, with the same gestational age, and normal early pregnancy were selected, and the levels of serum mercury, manganese, nickel, copper, zinc, arsenic, cadmium, and lead in the two groups of pregnant women were detected. Multivariate Logistic regression was used to analyze the possible influencing factors of missed abortion.   Results   Compared with the normal early pregnancy group, the serum levels of nickel(t=3.57, P=0.002), copper(t=7.94, P < 0.001), zinc(t=3.60, P=0.002), cadmium(t=4.74, P < 0.001), arsenic(t=2.82, P=0.011), and lead(t=3.46, P=0.002) were higher in the missed abortion group, and the serum manganese levels were lower(t=-8.24, P < 0.001). The binary multivariate logistic regression showed that theOR values of high blood nickel and high blood cadmium were 7.83(95% CI: 1.03-59.68, P =0.037), 3.51(95% CI:2.53-4.87, P =0.004) and 0.68(95% CI:0.47-0.97, P =0.034).   Conclusion   The levels of Ni, Cd and Mn in pregnant women's serum have a certain effect on the occurrence of missed abortion, and its mechanism needs further study.

Abstract:
Jeremy Bentham(1748-1832) was a famous British philosopher, jurist, political theorist and social reformer. He became a pioneer of British public health legislation and judicial reform by putting forward utilitarian ideas and applying them to social reforms. In addition, he paid attention to the development of basic medical theories and practical applications, which had profound effects on the establishment of future preventive medicine organizational structure, the acquisition of scientific research funding, and the internationalization of pharmacopoeia standards.
