Relationship between geographic environment and blood urea nitrogen reference values of healthy people / 吉林大学学报(医学版)

ABSTRACT

Objective:To discuss the relationship between the geographic environment and blood urea nitrogen(BUN) reference values of the healthy people,and to explore the distributional rule of BUN reference values of the healthy people,and to provide the scientific foundation for establishing the BUN reference value standards of different areas.Methods:A total of 23 geographic factors and 33 521 BUN reference values of healthy adults measured by 403 medical facilities from 23 provinces,4 municipalities and 5 autonomous regions were collected.The spatial autocorrelation analysis was used to determine the spatial autocorrelation of the sample data;the correlation analysis was used to detect the factors which correlated significantly with the BUN reference values;the multiple linear regression,principle component analysis and ridge regression analysis were respectively used to construct the predicted models;the paired-sample t test was used to choose the optimal model;the distribution map of BUN reference values was built by geostatistic analysis.Results:There were 5 geographic factors,latitude(X2),altitude(X3),annual mean temperature(X5),annual mean relative humidity(X6) and annual precipitation(X7),correlated significantly with the BUN reference values.The regression equation of optimal model was Y
