RESUMEN
Objective:To understand the current living and health status of leprosy survivors in Fengxian District， Shanghai， and to provide scientific evidence for improving their quality of life. Methods:In January 2018-June 2020， professionally trained CDC staff performed a household investigation on 41 patients with leprosy （case group） and 82 non-leprosy persons （control group） every year. Living and health status， and routine laboratory examinations such as blood pressure， blood glucose， and blood lipids were monitored. Results:Majority of the patients with leprosy had low educational level （68.29% being primary school） and were mostly farmers （51.22%）.The patients had abnormal residual Ⅱ level 5 （12.20%） and mostly were tb-like （TT） （53.66%）. Moreover， some patients were not incapacitated （46.34%）， had no family financial difficulties （29.27%）， did not acquire the national subsistence allowance policy （58.54%）， and asked for "regular physical examination" （68.29%）.Compared to the 82 control persons， the patients with leprosy had significantly different body mass index （BMI） and blood pressure （P<0.05）. Conclusion:Living and health status of leprosy survivors in Fengxian District remains to be further improved. The China Disabled Persons’ Federation （CDF）， Red Cross， civil affairs， and health administration need to further strengthen the cooperation.
