RESUMO
Objective@#To explore the prevalence of elevated blood pressure and overweight/obesity and their comorbidities among Tibetan middle school students in Lhasa, and to analyze their association with lifestyle and other factors, so as to provide a basis for the intervention measures targeting elevated blood pressure, overweight and obesity among middle school students in high altitude area.@*Methods@#Using a stratified cluster random sampling method in September 2021, a total of 1 488 Tibetan junior and high students from Lhasa City were investigated with blood pressure measurement, physical examination and questionnaire survey. The influencing factors of elevated blood pressure, overweight and obesity and their comorbidities association were analyzed by multivariate Logistic regression.@*Results@#The prevalence of elevated blood pressure, overweight/obesity and their comorbidities were 17.8%, 17.4% , 5.0% respectively. Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that age( OR =0.81), residence, body mass inex(BMI) and gender were the influencing factors of elevated blood pressure; and the risks of elevated blood pressure in female students were higher than male students ( OR =1.89), suburban students were higher than urban students ( OR =8.06), overweight and obesity groups were higher than normal groups ( OR =2.55, 2.87) ( P <0.05). Adjusting for confounding factors such as gender, residence and school, and BMI (only for elevated blood pressure), daily screen time ≥2 h was positively correlated with elevated blood pressure, overweight/obesity and its comorbidities ( OR =1.56, 1.59 , 2.51) ( P <0.05).@*Conclusions@#The prevalence of elevated blood pressure, overweight/obesity are relatively high in Lhasa. Longer screen time is a common factor affecting with elevated blood pressure, overweight/obesity and comorbidities among Tibetan students. Measures should be taken intervene in the lifestyle of Tibetan students, in order to reduce elevated blood pressure and overweight/obesity.
RESUMO
ABSTRACT: This article combines influencing factors of farmers' participation in the Rural Living Environment Renovation Project (RLERP) and conceptualizes a model that depicts the relationships between the demographic characteristics of farmers and their perceptions and behavioral response to RLERP. Using a questionnaire survey to collect empirical data, we found (1) A total of 92% of farmers have fully realized the importance of rural living environment, but most people have adopted a wait-and-see attitude and a lack of motivation to participate. (2) A total of 65% of farmers participate in the collection and classification of domestic waste, 22% of the farmers participate in captivity livestock behavior, and 19% of farmers participate in the response behavior of domestic sewage treatment. (3) A significant positive correlation occurs between income level and farmers' cognition and behavior response. (4) The education standards of the public are not correlated with the farmers' cognition but is significantly correlated with farmers' behavioral response. (5) The cognitive and behavioral response of females to RLERP is significantly higher than that of men. 6) In the process from cognition to the action response, farmers' cognition is positively correlated with action response. On this basis, some measures and suggestions to improve the response of farmers to rural living environment renovation are put forward.
RESUMO: Este artigo combina fatores que influenciam a participação dos agricultores no Projeto de Renovação do Ambiente Rural (RLERP) e conceitua um modelo que descreve as relações entre as características demográficas dos agricultores e suas percepções e resposta comportamental ao RLERP. Usando uma pesquisa por questionário para coletar dados empíricos, encontramos: (1) um total de 92% dos agricultores perceberam plenamente a importância do ambiente de vida rural, mas a maioria das pessoas adotou uma atitude de esperar para ver e uma falta de motivação para participar; (2) um total de 65% dos agricultores participam da coleta e classificação do lixo doméstico, 22% dos agricultores participam do comportamento pecuário em cativeiro e 19% dos agricultores participam do comportamento de resposta ao tratamento de esgoto doméstico; (3) uma correlação positiva significativa ocorre entre o nível de renda, a cognição e a resposta comportamental dos agricultores; (4) os padrões de educação do público não estão correlacionados com a cognição dos agricultores, mas estão significativamente correlacionados com a resposta comportamental dos agricultores; (5) a resposta cognitiva e comportamental das mulheres ao RLERP é significativamente maior do que a dos homens; (6) no processo de cognição para resposta de ação, a cognição dos agricultores está positivamente correlacionada com a resposta de ação. Com base nisso, são apresentadas algumas medidas e sugestões para melhorar a resposta dos agricultores à renovação do ambiente rural.
RESUMO
Objective@#Understanding mental health status of students with learning disabilities in Beijing to provide a basis for mental health promotion of students with learning disabilities.@*Methods@#By means of random cluster sampling, 5 787 enrolled students in grade one and grade two of 11 public junior middle schools in Beijing were selected as the survey subjects. A self designed questionnaire was used to investigate the students’ learning disabilities and mental health status through anonymous self filling.@*Results@#About 11.6% students self reported learning disabilities. The proportions of students with learning difficulty in mathematical reasoning and calculation were higher, 44.1% and 40.7% respectively. The reported rate of mental health problems was 38.3%. The top four of the 10 symptoms were obsessive compulsive symptoms, learning pressure, emotional instability and anxiety(2.19±0.77)(2.17±0.99)(2.09±0.90)(2.07±1.08). Compared with students without learning disabilities, students with self reported learning disabilities had poorer mental health status(OR=1.47), and learning disabilities were related to most factors of mental health. Different types of learning disabilities were associated with different mental health factors.@*Conclusion@#Mental health problems of students with learning disabilities are higher than that of students without learning disabilities. It is necessary to strengthen the mental health support for students with learning disabilities and improve their mental health.
