RESUMO
Objective To assess epidemiological characteristics of metabolic syndrome(MS)and its attributing factors in a resident sample aged over 35 living in both rural and urban areas of Harbin in Heilongjiang province.Methods A cross-over sectional and cluster sampling was carried out in 5 984 residents aged over 35 years living in the rural and urban areas of Harbin.Height,body mass,waist circumference,blood pressure,fasting blood glucose,triglyeeride,and high density lipoprotein cholesterol were determined.In this survey,the prevalence of MS and its attributing factors were analyzed by logistic regression model according to the diagnostic criteria of international diabetes federation in 2005.Results The prevalence of MS in this sample was 24.60%(male 22.49%,female 26.29%),and the standardized prevalence rate was 23.31%(male 22.12%,female 25.19%).Compared to female population,male participants showed a much lower prevalence;and compared to urban area population,rural participants showed a much lower prevalence(26.70% vs 20.05%,P<0.05).The prevalence of MS rose progressively with age in females.The individuals with MS presented increased body mass index,hyperglycemia,and hypertriglyceridemia.Gender,age,employment,education,smoking or drinking habit,and family history of hypertension were identified as maior risk factors of MS.Conclusion The prevalence of MS in a sample of residents aged over 35 in Harbin Was 24.60%.It becomes an public health problem requiring urgent attention for prevention and treatment.
RESUMO
Objective To evaluate the calculation and report of detection index and the statistics analysis of group comparison in high risk group,a problem of medical science study.Methods Relevant literature was consulted so that the methods could be listed of the detection index and the current statistic analysis of group comparison in high risk group.Results The current report about detection ratio and the statistics analysis of group comparison in high risk group proved to be mistaken,and the statistics analysis of group comparison was not the comparison of detection ratios in high risk group.Conclusions It is necessary to calculate and report the detection ratio when expressing the detection index.The statistics difference should be tested about constituent ratio in the group comparison,after excluding patient group.At the same time,some explanation should be given by the author in the composition.
