[Mediating effect of adulthood BMI/waist circumference on correlation between juvenile BMI/waist circumference and adulthood blood pressure].

OBJECTIVE: To analyze the relationship between juvenile body mass index(BMI)/waist circumference(WC) and adult blood pressure(BP), and to further explore the mediating role of adult BMI/WC in this association. METHODS: Based on the data of China Health and Nutrition Survey(CHNS) from 1993 to 2015, 1313 subjects were selected, who participated in the survey both in juvenile(6-17 years old) and adult(18-35 years old). The mediating effect model was used to analyze the effect of adult BMI/WC in the association between juvenile BMI/WC and adult BP. RESULTS: There was a positive correlation between juvenile BMI/WC and adult systolic blood pressure [ß(SE)_(adjusted)=0.10(0.03)/0.08(0.03)] and diastolic blood pressure [ß(SE)_(adjusted)=0.13(0.03)/0.08(0.03)] with P <0.01. Adult BMI/WC played partial mediating effect in the association between juvenile BMI/WC and adult systolic blood pressure and diastolic blood pressure: the percentage of mediating effect of BMI were 70.00%(95%CI 42.68%-73.33%)for SBP and 23.08%(95%CI 14.29%-26.32%) for DBP, the percentage of mediating effect of WC were 37.50%(95%CI 20.00%-41.67%)for SBP and 25.00%(95%CI 20.00%-35.71%) for DBP, respectively. CONCLUSION: There is a positive correlation between juvenile BMI/WC and adult BP, and adult BMI/WC might mediate the effect of juvenile BMI and WC on adult BP.

Willingness to receive SARS-CoV-2 vaccine among healthcare workers in public institutions of Zhejiang Province, China.

This study aims to investigate healthcare workers' (HCWs) willingness to receive SARS-CoV-2 vaccine in Zhejiang and to discover the related influential factors. The survey was conducted in six regions of Zhejiang Province, China, and 13 hospitals and 12 Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) were incorporated into the survey research. Participants were healthcare workers and a total of 3726 questionnaires were collected online, of which 3634 (97.53%) were analyzed. The relationships between the factors and the willingness to get vaccinated against COVID-19 were computed as odds ratios (ORs) by means of multi-factor non-conditional logistic regression analysis. Of the 3634 participants, 2874 (79.09%) HCWs expressed their willingness to get vaccinated if the SARS-CoV-2 vaccine becomes available. Respondents who were younger than 50 years (OR = 1.502, 95% CI: 1.047-2.154), those who believed that they were somewhat likely (OR = 1.658, 95% CI: 1.297-2.120) or likely (OR = 1.893, 95% CI: 1.334-2.684) to get infected by SARS-COV-2 and those with a positive attitude toward the SARS-CoV-2 vaccine were more willing to get vaccinated. Furthermore, compared to doctors, nurses were more reluctant to get vaccinated. In addition, it was found that higher the education level, lower the willingness to get vaccinated. This study revealed that HCWs in Zhejiang Province had a high willingness to get vaccinated. Awareness about the vaccine's effectiveness and safety and the disease severity should be promoted among HCWs over 50 years of age and nurses to increase the willingness to get vaccinated.

Secular trend of BMI and its consistency with selfrated BMI status among Chinese children and adolescents / 中国学校卫生

Objective@#To describe the secular trend of BMI and its consistency with self-rated BMI status in Chinese children and adolescents, and to further investigate the related factors affecting self-rated BMI,so as to provide a scientific reference for interventional measures.@*Methods@#A total of 6 238 children and adolescents aged 6-18 years were selected according to date from Chinese Health and Nutrition Svrvey during 2000-2015 and the criteria from National Health Commission of China.The Lambda-Mu-Sigma method(LMS) and Kappa consistency test were, respectively, applied to describe the percentiles for BMI and its agreement with self-rated BMI status. Multinomial Logistic model was used to assess the related factors influencing self-rated BMI status.@*Results@#P50 and P85 percentiles showed an increasing trend, especially the increase of high percentile of BMI. Regardless of age and sex, the measured and self-rated BMI showed low agreement. More than 50% of over-weighted or underweighted children perceived themselves as normal-weight, and about 1/4 of normal weight students misclassified themselves as abnormal in weight. Urban boys were more likely to evaluate themselves as underweight [OR(95%CI) =1.43(1.18-1.73)]. Boys who favored popular showed[OR(95%CI)=1.80(1.23-2.55) and cartoon [OR (95%CI) =1.39(1.00-1.96)] were more likely to consider themselves as overweight. Girls in the older age group [OR (95%CI)=2.74(2.08-3.61)] and urban [1.53(1.21-1.94)] who favored popular programs [OR(95%CI) =1.74(1.27-2.38)] were more likely to perceived themselves as overweight. But girls who like anime/cartoons were more likely to think they were underweight [OR(95%CI)=1.78(1.33-2.40)].@*Conclusion@#The trend of BMI has shown an increasing trend in the past decade and it demonstrated a large bias with perceived BMI. Age, area and type of video were significant factors that influenced the self-rated BMI status.
