ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the epidemiological characteristics and the influencing factors of the unintentional injuries among Wenzhou elementary school children. Methods A total of 3 050 students were selected from the 1st to 6th grades in 6 primary schools in Wenzhou urban area by multi - stage sampling and were investigated during 2013 to 2015. Results 2 859 students completed the investigation. The morbidity of annual average unintentional injuries was 30. 81%(95% CI:29. 12% - 32. 50% )and the occurrence density was 2. 79. Unintentional injuries occurred mainly at home (37. 69% )and school(32. 39% ),and the most common site of injuries were leg(35. 02% )and hand(33. 79% ). For overall incidence,the slip falling injury(35. 64% )was highest,followed by cut or pierced(33. 40% )and crush injury (25. 08% ). Schoolgirl was a protective factor of the injury of crushed,electrical,traffic accident,bashed,burn , exploded,drown,poisoning and bit(OR ﹤ 1),but was a risk factor of multiple injuries(OR = 1. 323). Age was a risk factor of injury of fallen,crushed,bashed,burn,cut or pierced,exploded and bit(OR ﹥ 1. 1),but was a protective factor of poisoning(OR = 0. 671). compared with the students who walked to school alone,the children who were accompanied by their family member and rode alone to school were protective factors of the traffic accident. Conclusion The incidences of the unintentional injuries of elementary school children were increased with the age,and the boy was easier to be hurt. It was suggested for parents,schools and the government to strengthen healthy education for children at the early age.
ABSTRACT
Objective To assess the quality of life among residents along rivers in Wenzhou and to analyze its influencing factors.Methods Through stratified random sampling,228 residents from 6 residential districts along rivers in Wenzhou were evaluated by the Short -Form Health Survey (SF -36).Association between independent and dependent variables were assessed by the univariate analysis and forward multiple regression.Results In 21 0 residents along rivers,the score of Physiological Function was 96.67 (1 0.00),followed by Vitality(86.1 2 ±1 .06),Bodily Pain 80.00 (20.00),Role Physical 87.50 (25.00),Social Function 83.33 (1 6.67 ),Role Emotional 66.67 (33.33 ),Physical Health Summary (73.1 1 ±0.94),and Mental Health Summary (72.27 ±0.93 ).The water environmental pollution,as the foremost influencing factors,may has impact on the Physical Function,Role Physical,Bodily Pain,Social Function,Role Emotional,Physical Health Summary and Mental Health Summary of residents.Being the longer living time,the residents may have higher scores in Physical Health Summary,Physical Function,Role Physical,General Health and Vitality.The residents,who had higher social strata,may have higher scores in the Role Physical,Bodily Pain and General Health.The male residents had the higher scores in General Health.Conclusion There were significant effects of water environmental pollution on the quality of life among residents along rivers in Wenzhou.It is high time that the government managed the water pollution and propagated the knowledge of environmental protection to enhance the quality of life of residents along rivers.
