[Association between dietary patterns and depressive symptom based on reduced rank regression in people aged 55 and above in 4 provinces of China].

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the dietary patterns related to depressive symptoms based on reduced rank regression in people aged 55 and above in 4 provinces of China and the degree of association between this dietary pattern and depressive symptoms. METHODS: Stratified, multi-stage, cluster and random sampling method was used to collect personal information such as demographic characteristics, behavioral lifestyles, disease history and medicine use in Chinese aged 55 and above who participated in the baseline survey of "Community-based Cohort Study on Nervous System Diseases" project conducted in 2018 and 2019 in Hebei, Zhejiang, Shaanxi and Hunan Provinces. Food frequency questionnaire was used to obtain dietary data. Depressive symptom was assessed by geriatric depression scale with a cut-off of 11. Participants who have incomplete demographic information, dietary data or scores of geriatric depression scale, and those whose intake frequency of each food-group >99. 5% were excluded. A total of 11 497 participants, 43. 1% of whom were male, were involved in this study with average age of(67. 3±7. 6) years. The reduced rank regression method was used to extract depressive symptoms-related dietary patterns by gender, and the degree of association between dietary patterns and depressive symptom was analyzed by logistic regression. RESULTS: Among males, the depressive symptoms-related dietary pattern was characterized by the higher intake frequency of fried flour-made food, meat, processed meat, animal offal, and preserved eggs, and the lower intake frequency of liquid milk/milk power/cheese, fresh eggs(except preserved eggs) and nut. Among females, the depressive symptoms-related dietary pattern was characterized by the higher intake frequency of fried flour-made food, meat, processed meat, animal offal and preserved eggs, and the lower intake frequency of coarse cereals, fruits, liquid milk/milk power/cheese and fresh eggs(except preserved eggs). The highest quartile group of the dietary pattern score had a significantly higher risk of depressive symptom than the lowest quartile group(OR=3. 498, 95% CI 2. 624-4. 663, P<0. 001 for males; OR=3. 853, 95% CI 3. 002-4. 944, P<0. 001 for females). CONCLUSION: The depressive symptoms-related dietary pattern is characterized by the higher intake frequency of fried flour-made food, meat, processed meat, animal offal and preserved eggs, and the lower intake frequency of liquid milk/milk power/cheese and fresh eggs(except preserved eggs) in the Chinese aged 55 and above. The score of this dietary pattern is significantly positively correlated with depressive symptom.

The unreasonable use of high beam at nighttime among motor vehicle drivers / 预防医学

Objective@#To observe the incidence of unreasonable use of high beam at nighttime among motor vehicle drivers, so as to provide the evidence for the prevention and control of road traffic injury. @*Methods@#Four roads into city and five urban roads were selected in Yongkang of Zhejiang Province. An automatic recording system was used to collect the unreasonable use of high beam among motor vehicle drivers on the selected roads from 19:00 to 5:00 on Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Sunday during a week in July 2020. The regression tree model was used to analyze the relationship of the unreasonable use of high beam with road, time and traffic flow. @*Results@# A total of 89 989 motor vehicles were observed, and 2 419 motor vehicle drivers had unreasonable use of high beam, with an incidence rate of 2.69%. The incidence rate of the unreasonable use of high beam was 3.14% in the roads into city, which was higher than 2.30% in the urban roads ( P<0.05 ). The incidence rates of the unreasonable use of high beam in the roads into city and in the urban roads were 5.15% and 2.90% on Wednesday, which were higher than those on Monday ( 2.89% and 2.34% ), Friday ( 2.90% and 1.92% ) and Sunday (2.06% and 2.12%). The highest incidence rate of the unreasonable use of high beam in the roads into city was 6.07% between 4:00 and 5:00, and in the urban roads was 4.50% between 2:00 and 3:00. The results of regression tree classification analysis showed that the highest incidence rate was 8.13% on the roads into city in the east, west and south directions, and on the urban roads in the east and north directions with less than 317 vehicles per hour on Wednesday. @*Conclusion@#It is more likely for motor vehicle drivers to use high beams unreasonably at nighttime on the roads into city with less traffic flow.
