ABSTRACT
Objective@#To understand the prevalence and trend of diet related behaviors among secondary school students in Shanghai, and to provide a scientific basis for developing appropriate health education strategies.@*Methods@#Anonymous questionnaire surveys were conducted among 71 291 students selected by multi stage stratified cluster sampling method from junior high schools,senior high schools and vocational schools in Shanghai in the year of 2008,2012,2015,2017,2019. The questionnaire adopted was "Shanghai adolescent health related behavior questionnaire". Test for trend test were applied for the analysis of the prevalence of their dietary behaviors.@*Results@#The proportion of middle school students nutritional status within the normal range in each survey year were 73.40 %, 72.60%, 68.06%, 68.73%, 67.53%, respectively, while the rate of overweight and obesity increased from 13.17% in 2008 to 23.73% in 2019. The proportion of "eating fried food" decreased significantly by year, from 12.05 % to 4.23% (male, APC=-7.94%, t =-4.33, female, APC= -9.29%, t=-7.71, P <0.05) respectively. And the proportion of "eating dessert" also decreased significantly by year, from 31.66% to 11.14% (male, APC=-8.41%, t =-6.37, female, APC=-8.67%, t=-6.96, P <0.05). In the five surveys, the percentages of healthy diet related behaviors of secondary school students were 12.81%-21.82%, no significant upward trend was observed in the whole( P >0.05). The proportion of diet-related behaviors of nutrition unbalance and easily leading to obesity decreased significantly from 35.47% to 17.00%(APC=-6.71%, t= -5.00 , P <0.05). The proportion of diet related behavior of nutrition unbalance and not easily leading to obesity increased significantly from 39.15% to 60.16%(APC=3.46%, t=6.18, P <0.05).@*Conclusion@#Overweight and obesity among secondary school students in Shanghai are increasing during the past decade, and the proportion of healthy dietary behaviors is low. The knowledge of rational diet should be publicized among these students in order to develop healthy dietary behaviors.
ABSTRACT
Objective@#To understand the status of teaching environmental health in primary and secondary schools and explore its association with myopia, so as to provide a basis for precision myopia prevention and control.@*Methods@#From September to October 2020, a stratified cluster sampling method was used in 16 districts of Shanghai. After matching the teaching environment testing classrooms with the classrooms where the students were surveyed, totally 470 classrooms and 14 624 students were monitored. Trained professional technicians used laser range finder, luxmeter to measure parameters about teaching environmental health. Students were subject vision testing and questionnaires. Multilevel models was used to analyze the association between teaching environment and screening myopia.@*Results@#The qualified rates of each indicators of teaching environmental health were as follows: window to floor area ratio (93.0%), classroom area per capita (82.1%), uniformity ratio of illuminance of blackboard ( 79.7% ), blackboard size (68.7%), daylight factor (67.0%), blackboard hanging height (66.9%), average illuminance on desk (66.4%), uniformity ratio of illuminance of desk (63.6%), reflectance of blackboard (46.8%), average illuminance on blackboard (41.4%), reflectance of wall (33.2%), desk and chair allocation compliance rate (19.8%). The results of two level Logistic model analysis showed that unqualified average illuminance on blackboard was positively associated with screening myopia ( OR =1.24, 95% CI = 1.05 -1.47, P <0.05).@*Conclusion@#Teaching environmental health of primary and secondary schools in Shanghai is not optimistic, teaching environment especially the desk and chair allocation compliance rate need to be improved. The average illumination on blackboard is positively correlated with screening myopia, suggesting that myopia prevention and control can focus on improving the illuminance on blackboard.
ABSTRACT
Objective@#To explore the patterns of health risk behaviors among secondary school students in Shanghai, so as to provide a basis for implementing targeted interventions.@*Methods@#From May to June 2021, 21 junior high schools, regular high schools and secondary vocational schools were selected from Shanghai, and the occurrence of dangerous health behaviors of 6 092 students were investigated in the form of self-filled questionnaires. The clustering analysis of the sample was performed by Ward s departure and peace method.@*Results@#Three types of clustering characteristics were found in this study: being bullied, depression (64.9%), loneliness (48.2%), and insomnia (42.4%) in the high-risk group (1 004, 16.5%); excessive video games (53.1%) and sugary drinks (89.3%) and fried food intake (79.0%) in the medium-risk group (1 585, 26.0%); the low-risk group (3 503, 57.5%) was characterized by extremely low alcohol consumption (0) and smoking (0.4%). The reporting rate on sugary beverage intake, fried food intake, physical activity, malicious teased, solicited, isolated/intentionally excluded, outside the group activities, threatened, kicked/hit/pushed/locked in house, smoking, unhealthy weight loss, playing video game overtime were statistically significant among the three groups ( χ 2=36.74, 41.85, 30.07, 652.68, 334.40, 669.89, 358.84, 233.12, 101.46, 88.45, 230.15, P <0.01) .The difference in reporting rates of loneliness, depression, insomnia and drinking were significant among the three groups (Fisher s test, P <0.01). The majority of junior high school students, general high school students and girls in the high-risk group; boys, general high school students and junior high school students in the excessive video game and unhealthy diet group.@*Conclusion@#There are clusters of health-related risk behaviors among secondary school students in Shanghai, focusing on two major aspects: poor lifestyle and mental health. Targeted interventions should be implemented according to the characteristics of health-related risk behaviors clustering to enhance the intervention effect.
ABSTRACT
Objective@#To understand the prevalence and influencing factors of scoliosis among primary and middle school students in Shanghai, so as to provide reference for the prevention and control strategies of scoliosis in children and adolescents.@*Methods@#From September to December 2021, a total of 4 531 students from grade four of primary school to grade three of junior high school from 16 primary and middle schools in 4 districts of Shanghai were selected by multi stage stratified cluster sampling to carry out scoliosis screening and questionnaire survey. Independent sample t-test, Chi-squared test, Fisher s exact probability method and nonparametric Mann Whitney U-test were used for statistical analysis, and multivariate Logistic regression was used to analyze the influencing factors of scoliosis.@*Results@#The on the spot detection rate of scoliosis abnormality was 7.4% and the prevalence was 2.2%, mainly for thoracolumbar scoliosis (60.4%) and the scoliosis angle of 10° -<20°(88.1%). The results showed that the detection rate of scoliosis in boys was 1.6% and in girls was 3.3%, with a statistically significant difference ( χ 2=11.84, P < 0.01). There were significant differences in weight and BMI between scoliosis students and students with negative initial screening( t = -3.77, -5.30, P <0.01). And there was a statistically significant difference in the detection rate of scoliosis with different frequency of classroom seating arrangements ( Z =2.02, P <0.05). The results of multivariate Logistic regression showed that the risk of scoliosis in girls was higher than that in boys ( OR =1.87, 95% CI =1.21-2.88). BMI ( OR =0.89, 95% CI =0.83-0.95) and frequency of classroom seating arrangements ( OR =0.49, 95% CI =0.25-0.93) were correlated with lower rate of scoliosis. After stratification by sex, the frequency of classroom seating arrangements ( OR =0.26, 95% CI =0.10-0.67) in boys and the educational stage ( OR =2.35, 95% CI =1.26-4.41) in girls ( P <0.05) was correlated with higher rate of scoliosis, while BMI ( OR =0.86, 95% CI =0.79-0.94) in girls were correlated with lower rate of scoliosis.@*Conclusion@#Regular screening of scoliosis is an effective method for early detection of scoliosis. Girls in junior high school and low BMI should be paid close attention to. According to the occurrence and influencing factors of scoliosis, comprehensive prevention and control based on family, school, society, and other aspects can be carried out.
ABSTRACT
Objective@#To explore the effectiveness of preventive treatment for latent tuberculosis infection (LTBI) patients, so as to provide reference for the management and preventive treatment of clustered epidemic in schools.@*Methods@#Data came from the school tuberculosis outbreak of a boarding high school in Kaizhou District, Chongqing, which occurred between June 2017 and March 2018 among 2016 grade high school teachers and students for investigation and analysis. The total incidence, LTBI patients, and the incidence after preventive treatment for 5 years were followed up.@*Results@#A total of 34 cases of pulmonary tuberculosis from June 2017 to March 2018. A total of 1 357 individuals were screened for 6 concentrated contact screenings, with a confirmed tuberculosis rate of 2.43%, a tuberculosis skin test (TST) positive rate of 27.41%, and a strong TST positive rate of 7.39%. Among them, the confirmed tuberculosis rate and TST positive rate in the first case class were much higher than those in other classes, with statistically significant differences ( χ 2=286.30, 98.59, P ＜0.01). 88 cases of LTBI were found, with 31 cases receiving preventive treatment (35.23%), of which 28 completed preventive treatment (90.32%). After five years of follow-up, 73 cases of pulmonary tuberculosis were diagnosed in 2016 by the school senior high school, with a incidence rate of 0.98/10 2 (person/person years). Fifteen of the 88 LTBI patients were diagnosed with pulmonary tuberculosis, and the incidence rate was 3.33/10 2 (person/person years). The incidence rate of the preventive treatment group was 0.7/10 2 (person/person years)lower than that of the medical observation group 4.5/10 2 (person/person years), with a statistically significant difference ( χ 2=4.31, P ＜0.05).@*Conclusion@#The classes with higher TST positive rate and strong positive rate have higher incidence rate. Improving the preventive treatment rate of LTBI patients can effectively reduce the incidence rate of tuberculosis.
ABSTRACT
Objective@#To investigate incidence of traffic injury and its associated factors among secondary school students in Shanghai, so as to provide scientific basis for intervention.@*Methods@#Using the method of multi stage stratified random cluster sampling, an on-the-spot anonymous questionnaire survey was conducted among 19 629 adolescents from 16 districts in Shanghai from May to June 2021. The multivariate Logistic regression was used to analyze possible associated factors.@*Results@#The rate of road traffic injuries among secondary school students in Shanghai was 0.74%, the highest reporting rate among secondary vocational school students (1.35%), followed by junior high school students (0.72%), and the lowest reporting rate of road traffic injuries among senior high school students (0.55%), with statistically significant differences ( χ 2=13.39, P <0.01). The results of multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that the junior high school ( OR =0.56, 95% CI =0.35-0.89) or senior high school ( OR = 0.40 , 95% CI =0.24-0.68) and residential school ( OR =0.39, 95% CI =0.18-0.88) were protective factors of road traffic injuries( P <0.05). Male ( OR =1.65, 95% CI =1.14-2.37), unaware of seat belt ( OR =6.38, 95% CI =2.81-14.50), had a cycling chase/fight ( OR =2.33, 95% CI =1.39-3.90), music or phone calls on a bicycle ( OR =2.54, 95% CI =1.72-3.75) were positively correlated with road traffic injury( P <0.05).@*Conclusions@#The road traffic injury among secondary school students in Shanghai is related to many factors, and traffic hazards are common among students in all school sections. Targeted measures should be taken to strengthen traffic safety knowledge education and intervention in healthy behaviors among adolescents, in order to reduce the incidence of road traffic injury.
ABSTRACT
Objective@#To establish a risk assessment index system for epidemic infectious diseases in primary and secondary schools, for early warning and prevention of school infectious diseases accurately and timely.@*Methods@#Through literature review, the indicators pool was established by consulting relevant experts and referring to practical experience. Then two rounds of expert consultation using the Delphi method were conducted(13 experts of round 1, and 20 experts of round 2). The concentration of expert opinions (the average, the percentage of full marks) and the coordination of expert opinions (the coefficient of variation, the coordination coefficient W ) were calculated and analyzed. The coordination coefficient W was obtained by nonparametric Kendall s W test of multiple samples. According to the experts feedback, necessary addition, reduction and modification of the indicators were carried out to determine the evaluation index system, and the analytic hierarchy process (AHP) was used to calculate the weight of each indicator.@*Results@#The expert authority coefficients of the two rounds of consultation were 0.89 and 0.88, respectively, and the form recovery rate was 100%. The range of the variation coefficient of each three level indicator was 0.07-0.31 and 0.06-0.19, and the coordination coefficient W was 0.25 and 0.47, respectively, indicating that the consistency and credibility of expert opinions were good. Finally, the risk assessment index system of infectious diseases in primary and secondary schools was established, which was composed of 5 first level indexes, 23 second level indexes and 86 third level indexes. The AHP was used to calculate the intra level weight of the index. The variation coefficient of five first level indicators of school health management and security system, school health personnel facilities, health monitoring and cognition level, severity and coping measures were 0.09, 0.06, 0.08, 0.12 and 0.06 , respectively, and the weight coefficients were 20.42%, 21.19%, 19.87%, 17.45% and 21.08%, respectively.@*Conclusion@#The risk assessment index system of school infectious diseases is applicable to primary and secondary schools. The initiative, coordination and authority of experts in this system are all high. It is of practical guiding significance for the early warning of infectious diseases in primary and secondary schools.

ABSTRACT
Objective@#To analyze the trend of adolescent health risk behaviors in Shanghai, and to provide reference for the comprehensive intervention of middle school students health risk behaviors.@*Methods@#Based on the health risk behavior questionnaire of Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention, the questionnaire was adapted according to the actual monitoring needs. It was divided into junior high school version and senior high school version. From 2004 to 2019, using the method of multistage stratified cluster random sampling, 59 209 middle school students who completed the questionnaire in 6 surveys were selected for analysis. @*Results@#From 2004 to 2019, in the 7 days prior to the survey, 9.2%-50.6% of middle school students drank a glass of soda more than or equal to once a day and 54.2%-76.1% of middle school students reported eating dessert twice or more. Within 7 days, 48.3%-60.7% of middle school students had≥60 min of exercise per day for less than or equal to 3 days, and 16.1%- 35.2% of middle school students reported too much extracurricular activities, and the reporting rate increased year by year with the annual percent change ( APC ) of 5.15%( t =9.28, P <0.01). The reporting rate of long time online learning was 6.0%-13.6%, which showed an upward trend among high school students, with the APC of 5.35%( t =3.14, P <0.05). The reporting rate of middle school students pedestrian safety problems decreased from 69.1% in 2004 to 27.6% in 2019, with the APC of -6.28%( t =-8.18, P <0.01), but the reporting rate of cycling safety problems have increased in recent years. The reporting rate of intentional injury behaviors decreased by year such as fighting, bullying, etc. The reporting rate of initial smoking age ≤13 years old decreased, but attempted drinking behavior increased in junior middle school students, and the APC was 1.61%( t =3.48, P <0.05). A total of 1.6%-3.4% of middle school students had an Internet addiction behavior tendency. The detection rate of Internet addiction tendency was increasing in high school students and girls, and APC was 6.59% and 10.29% respectively( t =6.37, 8.62, P <0.01).@*Conclusion@#From 2004 to 2019, unintentional injury behavior, intentional injury behavior and substance addiction behavior of middle school students in Shanghai have improved. However, unhealthy diet and physical inactivity are still high. In the follow up. It need to focus on adverse diet and lack of physical activity behavior and take comprehensive intervention measures to control them.
ABSTRACT
Objective@#To analyze the trends of smoking and drinking behaviors among adolescents in Shanghai from 2004 to 2019, and to provide theoretical evidence for effective tobacco and alcohol interventions among adolescents.@*Methods@#Data regarding smoking and drinking behaviors from adolescent health risk behavior surveillance program in Shanghai from 2004 to 2019 were collected, and the prevalence of ever smoking, current smoking, ever drinking and current drinking were comparatively analyzed.@*Results@#The prevalence of ever smoking, current smoking, ever drinking and current drinking among boys were significantly higher than those among girls in 2004 to 2019( χ 2=58.20-347.44, P <0.01). Except the prevalence of ever drinking in 2012, the prevalence of ever smoking, current smoking, ever drinking and current drinking in vocational school students were the highest in each survey( χ 2=111.19-1 196.61, P <0.01). From 2004 to 2019, the standardized rates of smoking and drinking of boys and girls showed a downward trend ( APC =-6.20--1.80, P <0.05). The standardized ever smoking rate and the standardized ever drinking rate of both boys and girls declined significantly from 2004 to 2019（ APC=-5.00, -1.80, P ＜0.05）. The overall standardized rate of ever smoking decreased from 21.02% in 2004 to 12.23% in 2019, and that of ever drinking decreased from 60.52% in 2004 to 47.17 % in 2019）. However, the overall standardized rates of current smoking and current drinking did not reach statistically significance（ P >0.05）.@*Conclusion@#From 2014 to 2019,the prevalence of ever smoking and ever drinking among adolescents in Shanghai over the observed period showed a declining trend by years, but there was no significant change in current smoking and current drinking among adolescents. Specific interventions targeting on smoking and drinking behaviors among adolescents need to be strengthened.
ABSTRACT
Objective@#To explore the relationship between myopia and nutritional status among upper elementary students in Shanghai.@*Methods@#A stratified cluster sampling method was used to select 5 576 fourth and fifth grade students from 16 districts in Shanghai, vision test, physical examination and questionnaire survey were administered. Two level multivariate Logistic regression and mixed linear models were used to analyze the relationship between myopia, spherical equivalent (SE) and nutritional status.@*Results@#The detection rates of overweight and obesity were 17.0%(949) and 18.7%(1 042), respectively. There was a statistical difference in the proportion of the nutritional status in boys and girls( χ 2=210.94, P <0.01), with overweight and obesity in boys higher than those of girls. The overweight boys were more likely to have myopia (univariate analysis: OR=1.23, P =0.04; multivariate analysis: OR=1.21, P =0.06) than the normal weight boy. Overweight students tended to had more negative refractive than those with normal weight in both boys and girls(multivariate analysis, boys: β =-0.19, girls: β=-0.24, P <0.05). Myopia risk and refractive power in obese students showed no statistical difference with normal weight students( P >0.05).@*Conclusion@#Overweight students have lower SE than the normal weight among upper elementary students of Shanghai, more researches are needed to confirm this finding and to provide theoretical bases for myopia prevention and control.
ABSTRACT
Objective@#To investigate the establishment of health care institutions and the staffing primary and secondary school health care in Shanghai, and to understand the capacity building needs of health care personnel.@*Methods@#A survey was conducted on all primary and secondary schools in Shanghai from April to August in 2020. The content of the questionnaire covers the establishment of health care institutions, the staffing of school health care centers and the capacity building need of health care personnel. Chi square test was used to compare the difference of the health care institutions setting and staffing by schools and areas.@*Results@#In 2020, there were 1 847 primary and secondary schools in Shanghai (including branches schools). About 51.4% of primary and secondary schools in Shanghai were equipped with school health care personnel in the ratio of the number of students at least 600∶1 , and the staffing compliance rate of urban schools (59.3%) was higher than that of suburban schools (47.3%)( χ 2=24.27, P <0.01). All school health care personnel believed that there are currently few opportunities for capacity buliding services from health facilities.@*Conclusion@#School health care institutions in Shanghai are well equipped, but the staffing shortage is substantial, with strong need for capacity building.
ABSTRACT
Objective@#To investigate the relationship between body fat percentage (BF%) and high blood pressure among adolescents in Shanghai, and to provide basis for early prevention and intervention of cardcovascular diseases.@*Methods@#By using stratified cluster sampling method, a total of 5 148 adolescent students in 16 schools from 16 districts of Shanghai were selected. Questionnaire survey and physical examination were performed. The bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) was used to measure body fat percentage. National Blood Pressure Reference for Chinese Han Children was used to define high blood pressure. And T test, chi-square test and Logistici regression were used to assess the relation between BF% with high blood pressure.@*Results@#The prevalence of high blood pressure in 5 148 junior middle school students in Shanghai was 10.98%, with girls (13.13%) higher than boys (8.99%)(χ 2=22.48, P<0.01). The average total body fat percentage of male students was (20.90±10.73)%, which decreased with age (linear trend variance is 10.04, P<0.01). The average total body fat percentage of girls was (25.14±8.03)%, which increased with age (linear trend variance is 69.23, P<0.01). After adjusted for age, diet, exercise and other influencing factors, the prevalence of hypertension showed an increasing trend with the increase of body fat percentage for both boys and girls. The risk of high blood pressure in boys with BF%≥P 90 was 12.43 times higher than that in boys with BF%<P 25(95%CI=6.98-22.14), while the risk of high blood pressure in girls with BF% ≥P 90 was 6.12 times higher than that in girls with BF%<P 25(95%CI=3.89-9.63).@*Conclusion@#There was a positive correlation between body fat percentage and high blood pressure in adolescents. The prevalence of high blood pressure increased with the increase of body fat percentage, which was more obvious in boys.
ABSTRACT
Objective@#To investigate the general situation of sleep duration, sleep quality and related risk factors among primary students in Shanghai and to provide evidence for the prevention and control of students sleep health.@*Methods@#By using stratified cluster random sampling method, 3 410 students from 16 primary schools in four urban areas and four suburb areas of Shanghai were selected to conduct sleep health questionnaire survey and physical examination Chi square test was used for group comparison while binary Logistic regression was used to assess possible factors related with sleep quality.@*Results@#The detection rate of sleep insufficiency (<10 h) among students was 93.0%. The detection rate of poor sleep quality was 66.8% with 67.1% in girls and 66.6% in boys. The top three sleep problems were daytime sleepiness(80.9%), irregular sleep duration (74.1%) and sleep anxiety(59.5%). Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that everyday moderate-intensity physical activity (OR=1.51, 95%CI=1.04-2.21) and daily walking activity (more than 10 minutes)(OR=1.27, 95%CI=1.08-1.50) were risk factors of poor sleep quality(P<0.05).@*Conclusion@#In Shanghai, the prevalence of sleep insufficiency and poor sleep quality among primary students are high. Sleep health was associated with moderate physical activity and walking activity. Increasing the duration of moderate physical activity and daily walking activity is the very important measures in prevention and control of the sleep problems.
ABSTRACT
Objective@#To analyze myopia related factors among students in Shanghai, to explore associated risky behaviors associated with mild, moderate, high myopia,so as to provide the evidence for the implementation of home and school combination intervention measures.@*Methods@#Six primary and secondary schools (2 primary schools, 2 middle schools and 2 high schools) were selected from each district of Shanghai. The primary schools began to investigate from the fourth grade. All the students in the selected classes participated in the vision test and questionnaire survey. Chi square test was used for categorical data analysis. The relationship between myopia and related behaviors was analyzed by multivariate Logistic analysis.@*Results@#The prevalence of visual-related risky behaviors such as short outdoor time during the day, lack of sleep, long after-school reading and writing time, poor reading and writing posture, and longtime-using mobile electronic screen was higher in girls than in boys (P<0.05), boys were more likely than girls to use computer for long time and read books/electronic screen in sunlight (P<0.05). The group with 3 hours or more than of reading and writing compared with the less than 2 hours, the OR value of mild myopia model was 1.31(1.20-1.44), moderate myopia model was 1.78(1.62-1.96), severe myopia model was 2.37(2.07-2.71). In the model of moderate and high myopia, reading and writing posture, frequency of eye relax, outdoor activity time and watching TV time were also included.@*Conclusion@#The prevalence of myopia related behaviors among primary and secondary school students is high, and there are significant gender differences among different behaviors. Students reading and writing time should be strictly controlled after school. Intervention strategies and measures should be carried out according to the characteristics of different ages and genders.
ABSTRACT
Objective@#To understand the influencing factors and family burden of bicycle injury among middle school students in Shanghai for bicycle injury prevention.@*Methods@#Based on 1∶2 matched case-control design, students who were injured when cycling were selected from Shanghai student injury case reporting system during Sept. 2017 to Dec. 2018 as the case group. The same-sex control was selected from the same grade in the same school with the case. A total of 61 cases and 122 control were selected. Self-reported questionnaires were conducted by parents of children. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression were used to analyze the influencing factors of bicycle injury.@*Results@#Poor eyesight (OR=2.27, 95%CI=1.02-5.07), lots of intersections near the residence (OR=2.00, 95%CI=1.00-3.98), and lots of cyclists near the residence (OR=2.15, 95%CI=1.06-4.36) were positively correlated with bicycle injuries among middle school students. About 34.43% and 8.20% of parents reckon bicycle injuries had a moderate impact on family economic, daily activities and recreational activities. Among the students with bicycle injury, 70.49% of the students were absent from school because of illness, and 36.07% of their parents missed work because of illness. The average absence time for school and working were 10.79 days and 3.03 days respectively. The total economic loss caused by the lack of work was 84 950 yuan, with an average of 1 393 yuan.@*Conclusion@#Bicycle injury of middle school students in Shanghai causes certain family burden. Poor eyesight, lots of intersections near the residence, lots of cyclists near the residence are positively correlated with bicycle injuries among middle school students.
ABSTRACT
@#Objective To analyze the symptom characteristics and influencing factors in order to provide reference for symptom management of patients with esophageal cancer after operation. Methods A total of 216 esophageal cancer patients, including 180 males and 36 females with an average age of 63.7±8.3 years, who underwent surgical operation in our hospital from March to October 2018 were recruited and investigated with self-designed symptom questionnaire at 1 month after surgery. Results The top five symptoms were acid reflux (48.6%), cough (42.6%), dysphagia (40.7%), hoarseness (12.0%), and diarrhea (11.6%). Women were more prone to acid reflux (OR=2.053), fatigue (OR=1.932), chest pain (OR=3.681), sleep disturbance (OR=2.419), abdominal pain (OR=3.882), nausea (OR=3.014) and vomiting (OR=2.505). Patients over 60 years were more prone to dysphagia (OR=2.274). Patients with lower thoracic esophageal cancer had a higher incidence of dysphagia compared with patients with carcinoma of esophagogastric junction (OR=0.326). Patients who had neoadjuvant chemotherapy were more likely to suffer acid reflux (OR=1.594). Open surgery (OR=3.681) and neoadjuvant radiotherapy (OR=2.495) were the risk factors of chest pain. Conclusion There are many symptoms in patients with esophageal cancer after operation, and the occurrence of symptoms is closely related to gender, age, tumor location, surgical procedure and neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy.
ABSTRACT
Objective@#To assess the changes of students’ hand washing behaviors after implementing comprehensive interventions, and to provide the reference for hand-washing promotion among students.@*Methods@#The implementation of comprehensive intervention projects had been carried out in three aspects: hardware transformation, system establishment, health management and health education. A randomized controlled trial method was used to select each one primary and secondary school in 2016 from 17 districts in Shanghai, and 17 intervention schools and 17 control schools were taken as object. Non-participant observation was used for students’ hand washing behaviors for 4 times during May, 2016 to May, 2017. Descriptive analysis and chi square test were used to analyze the data.@*Results@#Compared with the control group, the hand washing rate of the intervention group was lower than that of the control group at baseline. The intervention group has got a higher rate than that of the control group in the evaluation of 1, the assessment 2 and the assessment 3 after intervention. The difference was statistically significant(χ2=7.70, 24.23, 38.88, 21.71, P<0.05). Compared with the control group, the hand washing rate of the intervention group after class was lower than that of the control group. After the intervention, the rate of the intervention group was higher than that of the control group in the evaluation 1, the assessment 2 and the assessment 3 after the intervention. The difference was statistically significant (χ2=8.52, 33.79, 54.64, 13.99, P<0.05). Compared with the control group, there was no difference between the baseline intervention group and the control group before meals. The intervention group after intervention was higher than the control group in the evaluation of 1, evaluation 2 and evaluation 3. The difference was statistically significant (χ2=45.01, 42.19, 27.82, P<0.05).@*Conclusion@#After comprehensive intervention, the effect was significant under different temperature conditions, and the effect of intervention lasted for one year.
ABSTRACT
Objective@#To evaluate the effects of physical activity interventions based on social ecology model, and to explore promising approach for increasing physical activity of students in large cities.@*Methods@#A quasi-experimental design with parallel control was implemented. Students from grade 4 in 20 primary schools in 3 districts of Shanghai were recruited. Based on social ecology model, physical activity interventions were carried out in three levels: personal, social-and physical environment. The interventions lasted for 6 months. Questionnaires, physical examinations and physical fitness tests were carried out. Rank sum test, chi-square test and logistic stepwise regression was used to analyze the intervention effects.@*Results@#In the intervention group, the proportion of students who favored physical activity increased from 47.9% to 50.7%. Time spent in moderate to vigorous intensity physical activity (MVPA) increased from 64 min/d to 70 min/d, mainly during the weekend. The interventions showed significant effects, especially for girls. In the intervention group, the proportion of students spent 1 h/d in MVPA increased from 53.7% to 57.7%(χ2=4.95, P<0.05). Multivariate analysis showed that after intervention, the proportion of students spent more than 1 h/d in MVPA in the intervention group was higher than that in the control group (OR=1.22, 95%CI=1.02-1.48, P=0.03).@*Conclusion@#Physical activity interventions based on social ecology model can increase uptake of physical activity among school students.
