ABSTRACT
Objective To explore the relationship of height,weight and body mass index with fists size among adults,and to compare the regression coefficient of different models.Methods Adults aged 20 -80 years were selected by stratified cluster sampling methods.T -test and univariate analysis of variance were used to compare the height,weight and fists size stratified by gender and BMI group.Regression model for fists volume was established.The regression coefficients were compared through covariance interaction analysis.Results The height,weight,BMI and fists size of male were higher than that of female (P <0.01 ).The regression model for fists size(Y)of BMI(X)for male,female and total population were Y=1 67.603 +9.445X,Y =1 1 1 .1 83 +7.779X and Y =77.1 57 +1 1 .028X(R2 =0.324,0.322,0.271 ,P <0.05).Fists size of different BMI groups were related to their height (R2 =0.501 ,0.432,0.624,0.692,P <0.05),respectively, and their regression coefficients have no statistically differences (P =0.07).The fists sizes of different BMI groups were different(P <0.01 ).Fists size of overweight or obesity groups (365.641 ±68.51 4,365.641 ±68.51 4,respectively)were larger than that of the normal and slim groups(P <0.01 ),and fists size of normal body (31 4.261 ±59.590)was larger than that of slim body(261 .081 ±59.478).Conclusion The fists sizes of male were higher than that of female.Fists size was positively related to their BMI.The height had the some impact on fists size among people in different BMI groups.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the status of the ability of emotion and behavior management and to explore the influence factors among the elderly in Zhoushan City.Methods Self -designed questionnaires of Activity of Daily Living Scale and Emotion -Behavior Assessment were used to investigate the elderly in Lincheng District,Zhoushan.The incidence of emotion and behavior abnormities were statistically analyzed.The influence factors were analyzed by chi -square test,rank -sum test and the ordinal regression.Results A total of 1 260 valid questionnaires were collected,the incidence of emotion and behavior abnormities among the elderly was 5.56% and the number of mild,moderate,and severe abnormity were 40,19 and 11,which accounted for 3.17%,1.51% and 0.87%.Univariate analysis showed that there were significant differences in emotion and behavior among age,education,marital status,living situation, prevalence,income and the daily living skills.Ordinal regression analysis showed that the major influence factors were living situation,income and the daily living skills.The ordinal regression analysis also showed the risk of emotional and behavior disorders of the elderly in nursing homes were 17.05 times higher than those who live with spouse (95%CI =4.31-67.35),and the elderly with monthly income below 465 yuan were 9.37 times higher than those who with monthly income over 1 160 yuan (95%CI =1.63 -53.79),and the severe,moderate and mild dependent elderly were 236.28, 32.29 and 13.79 times higher than the elderly who were independent.Conclusion Psychological care for the elderly with low income,poor self -care ability and living in nursing homes should be highly focused on.
