RESUMO
Objective:To investigate the iodine nutrition level and thyroid function status of pregnant women in Hubei Province.Methods:According to the requirements of "the National Iodine Deficiency Disorders Monitoring Program (2016 Edition)", in 2020, using a cross-sectional survey method, two mountainous counties and two plain areas in Hubei Province were divided into five districts: east, west, south, north, and central. One township (street) was selected from each district, and 20 pregnant women were selected from each township (street) as survey subjects. Urine iodine content and thyroid function indicators [serum free triiodothyronine (FT 3), free thyroxine (FT 4), thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH), thyroid peroxidase antibody (TPOAb), thyroglobulin antibody (TgAb)] were tested. Abnormal thyroid function rate and antibody positive rate were analyzed, and correlation analysis of thyroid function indicators was conducted (Spearman method). Results:A total of 321 pregnant women were included, including 43, 114, and 164 in early, middle, and late pregnancy, respectively; The median urinary iodine was 164.80 μg/L. The median serum FT 3, FT 4, TSH, TPOAb, TgAb levels were 4.10, 12.83 pmol/L, 1.85 mU/L, 15.84 and 13.35 U/ml, respectively. There were statistically significant differences in FT 3, FT 4, and TSH levels among different trimesters ( P < 0.05). According to Spearman's correlation analysis, FT 3 in early stage of pregnancy was negatively correlated with TSH and TPOAb levels ( r = - 0.46, - 0.33, P < 0.05), while TSH was positively correlated with TPOAb level ( r = 0.33, P = 0.032); there was a positive correlation between FT 4 and TgAb levels in middle stage of pregnancy ( r = 0.21, P = 0.032); there was a negative correlation between FT 3 and TPOAb levels in late stage of pregnancy ( r = - 0.19, P = 0.017); FT 3 and FT 4, TPOAb and TgAb levels were positively correlated throughout pregnancy ( P < 0.05). There was no correlation between urinary iodine content and thyroid function indicators ( P > 0.05). The total abnormal rate of thyroid function was 7.79% (25/321), with 16.28% (7/43), 5.26% (6/114), and 7.32% (12/164) in early, middle, and late pregnancy, respectively. There was no statistically significant difference in the abnormal rate of thyroid function among different pregnancy periods (χ 2 = 4.83, P = 0.097). The detection rates of hypothyroxinemia, hypothyroidism, subclinical hypothyroidism, hyperthyroidism, and subclinical hyperthyroidism were 4.36% (14/321), 0.31% (1/321), 2.49% (8/321), 0.31% (1/321), and 0.31% (1/321), respectively. The positive detection rate of autospecific antibodies was 10.28% (33/321), with a TPOAb positive detection rate of 9.97% (32/321) and a TgAb positive detection rate of 5.30% (17/321). Conclusions:The iodine nutrition level of pregnant women in Hubei Province is at a suitable level, and the rates of abnormal thyroid function and thyroid autospecific antibody positive are relatively low. It is necessary to continuously monitor the iodine nutrition and thyroid function indexes of pregnant women, strengthen health education on the hazards of iodine deficiency during pregnancy, and minimize the harm to maternal and infant health caused by iodine deficiency.
RESUMO
Objective To analyze the prevalence of common chronic diseases and comorbidities in the elderly ≥65 years old in Xinzhou District, Wuhan. Methods A questionnaire survey, physical examination and a retrospective analysis of 12 common chronic diseases comorbidities were conducted in 2016 and 2018 in the resident elderly ≥65 years old. Results In 2016, the medical examination rate of the elderly aged ≥65 years old, the prevalence rate of ≥1 chronic disease, and the comorbidity rate of ≥2 chronic diseases in Xinzhou District were 57.37%, 82.53%, and 48.13%, respectively; in 2018, the medical examination rate, The prevalence of ≥1chronic diseases and the prevalence of ≥2 comorbidities were 47.57%, 83.13%, and 50.02%, respectively. The comparison of the three rates in two years was statistically significant (P＜0.006).The comorbidity of chronic diseases in the elderly accounted for more than 58.32%. The physical examination rate of the elderly is higher in women than in men, and higher in rural areas than in urban areas. The prevalence of chronic diseases is higher in women than in men, and the prevalence of chronic diseases is gradually increasing as the elderly ages. The prevalence of chronic diseases in people with normal BMI is lower than those with abnormal BMI, and the prevalence tend increased gradually with the increase of BMI in abnormal people. Hypertension (70.75%), hyperlipidemia (24.97%), diabetes (16.61%), osteoarthropathy (12.65%), hyperuricemia (9.35%), stroke (8.32%), eyes and appendages (5.88%)ranked the same in 2016 and 2018. Except for hyperuricemia, the prevalence of the other six diseases decreased in 2018 compared with 2016. Conclusion The prevalence of chronic diseases in the elderly ≥65 years old in Xinzhou District is relatively high, showing a slow upward trend. About 50.00% of the elderly suffer from comorbidities. The situation of chronic disease prevention and control is still severe. It is recommended to develop comprehensive prevention and control interventions among this population.
RESUMO
ObjectiveTo investigate the association between obesity phenotype and the occurrence of hypertension in middle-aged and elderly adults in China. MethodsData were obtained from the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study （CHARLS） in 2011 and 2015. Participants who completed two visits with ≥45 years old age at baseline were enrolled. Obesity phenotype was defined as the following four groups according to weight and metabolic status：metabolically healthy non-overweight/obesity （MHNO）， metabolically healthy overweight/obesity （MHO）， metabolically abnormal non-overweight/obesity （MANO）， and metabolically abnormal overweight/obesity （MAO）. Cox proportional risk regression model was used to analyze the relationship between obesity phenotype and the incidence of hypertension. ResultsA total of3 781 subjects with 1 775（46.95%） males and mean age of （57.76±8.57） years were included in this study. When the metabolically normal non-overweight/obese group （MHNO） was regarded as the reference group， the risk of developing hypertension was significantly increased （P<0.01） in MHO， MANO， and MAO with HRs of 1.35（1.11‒1.63）， 1.51（1.15‒1.97）， and 2.00（1.68‒2.38） respectively.ConclusionBoth MHO phenotype and MAO/MANO are significantly associated with the occurrence of hypertension in middle-aged and elderly adults.
