  • 江苏省农村居民慢性病健康信息规避行为影响因素研究

    Subjects: Other Disciplines >> Synthetic discipline submitted time 2023-03-31 Cooperative journals: 《农业图书情报学报》

    Abstract: [Purpose/Significance] When rural residents read health information regarding chronic diseases, they often tend to develop cognitive conflicts or negative emotions, which leads to their avoidance behaviors towards health information regarding chronic diseases. The purpose of this study is to explore the influencing factors among rural residents in Jiangsu Province and the relationships among these factors. [Method/Process] Based on the stress coping theory and the planned risk information avoidance model, this study constructed a model of influencing factors of rural residents' avoidance behaviors towards health information on chronic diseases on the basis of the characteristics of rural residents. In this paper, 250 valid questionnaires were collected, and structural equation model method was used to test the theoretical model. [Results/Conclusions] It is found that social atmosphere, negative emotions and patients' cognition all have positive effects on rural residents' avoidance intention, which leads to the occurrence of health information avoidance behavior. At the same time, the influence of information access constraints on rural residents' avoidance behaviors towards health information on chronic diseases was verified. The research helps to enrich the theoretical system of health information avoidance behavior, and provide guidance and suggestions for government departments and medical service institutions to optimize health information services on howto deal with chronic diseases.

  • Study on the Correlation between Body Roundness Index and Metabolically Obese Normal Weight Phenotype in an Elderly Population of Different Genders:Triglyceride Glucose Index as a Potential Influencing Factor

    Subjects: Medicine, Pharmacy >> Clinical Medicine submitted time 2024-05-15 Cooperative journals: 《中国全科医学》

    Abstract: Background Body roundness index(BRI)is a simple measure of central obesity and is strongly associated with cardiovascular disease. People with metabolically obese normal weight(MONW)have a higher risk of cardiovascular disease and are significantly associated with central obesity. The triglyceride glucose(TyG)index is an indicator of insulin resistance. There are limited studies on the relationship between BRI,TyG index and MONW phenotypes in gender#2;specific elderly populations. Objective To explore differences in the risk of prevalence of the BRI and MONW phenotypes in the elderly population by gender,and to explore the TyG index as a potential factor in their differences by gender. Methods Permanent residents ≥ 60 years of age who underwent physical examination in 10 cities and counties in Anhui Province from 2017-07-01 to 2021-06-30 were selected as study subjects. A unified questionnaire was used to collect information on gender, age,and disease history of the study subjects,collect information on physical examination and laboratory tests,and calculate BRI and TyG indices. Men and women will be classified into metabolically healthy normal weight(MHNW)phenotype and MONW phenotype according to metabolic status and BMI level,respectively:male MHNW phenotype(n=5 384),male MONW phenotype(n=6 251);female MHNW phenotype(n=4 498),female MONW phenotype(n=8 264). Males and females were divided into 4 levels according to BRI quartiles,males:M1,M2,M3,and M4,and females:F1,F2,F3, and F4,respectively.Logistic regression analyses were performed to explore the association between BRI quartile levels and the risk of elevated TyG index and the risk of prevalence of MONW phenotypes respectively,using the Z test was used to compare the differences between the OR value of male and female. Results A total of 24 397 investigators were included in this study, including 11 635(47.7%)males and 12 762(52.3%)females,with a median age of 67(64,70) years,and 9 882(40.5%) with MHNW phenotype and 14 515(59.5%)with MONW phenotype. Hypertension,diabetes mellitus,dyslipidaemia,systolic blood pressure,diastolic blood pressure,TyG index,BRI,fasting glucose(FPG),total cholesterol(TC),triglyceride (TG),and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol(LDL-C)in the elderly population of different genders with MONW phenotype were higher than in the MHNW phenotype,and smoking and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol(HDL-C)were lower than in the MHNW phenotype(P<0.05);prevalence of MONW phenotype,hypertension,diabetes mellitus,dyslipidaemia,TyG index,FPG,and TG were higher than those of low level BRI,and HDL-C was lower than those of low level BRI in the elderly population of different genders with high level BRI(P<0.05). The results of univariate logistic regression analysis showed that the risk of elevated TyG index was increased at BRI M2/F2,M3/F3,and M4/F4 levels in elderly populations of different genders compared with BRI M1/F1 levels(P<0.05);and the risk of elevated TyG index increased with increasing BRI levels(Ptrend<0.001 for male,Ptrend<0.001 for female);and the risk of elevated TyG index was higher at BRI M2,M3,and M4 levels in older men than at BRI F2,F3,and F4 levels in older women(P<0.05). Multifactorial Logistic regression analyses after correction for confounders showed that the risk of MONW phenotype prevalence was increased at the BRI M2/F2,M3/F3,and M4/F4 levels in the elderly population of different genders compared with the BRI M1/F1 level(P<0.05);and the risk of MONW phenotype prevalence increased with the increase of the BRI level(Ptrend<0.001 for male,Ptrend<0.001 for female);and the risk of the MONW phenotype was higher in older men than in older women at BRI levels M2 and M4(P<0.05). Conclusion BRI levels were significantly and positively associated with the risk of the MONW phenotype in older adults of different genders,with high levels of BRI more strongly associated with the risk of the MONW phenotype in older men,with the TyG index being a potential factor contributing to the gender difference.

    Subjects: Medicine, Pharmacy >> Clinical Medicine submitted time 2023-01-09 Cooperative journals: 《中国全科医学》

    Abstract:

    Background Triglyceride glucose product (TyG) index is an index to evaluate insulin resistance (IR) and obesity-related metabolic diseases, but there are few studies on the correlation between this index and the high risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) in middle-aged obese people of different genders. Objective To investigate the relationship between TyG index and the high risk of CVD in middle-aged obese people of different genders, and to evaluate its role in the prevention and treatment of CVD. Methods A total of 30,425 obese middle-aged (45-60 years old) permanent residents in Anhui Province were selected as research objects and divided into male group and female group according to different gender. Male TyG index was divided into four quartiles: T1 (7.420-8.870), T2 (8.870-9.204), T3 (9.204-9.578), T4 (9.578-11.440). The female group was divided into T1 (7.579-8.876), T2 (8.876-9.183), T3 (9.183-9.526) and T4 (9.526-11.647). χ2 test was used to analyze the detection of CVD risk in different genders. Multivariate binary Logistic regression model was established to explore the relationship between TyG index and the high risk of CVD, and Z-test was used to compare the difference in effect values between subgroups. Result The high risk of CVD was 28.4% in the male group and 26.0% in the female group. The results of multivariate binary logistic regression model showed that in male group and female group, each quartile grouping of TyG index had statistical significance (P<0.01). Compared with T1, the high risk of CVD at TyG index T4 in male group and female group [OR(95%CI)] was 1.827(1.622, 2.058) and 1.552(1.410, 1.708), respectively, and there was a statistically significant difference in the OR values between male and female groups in T4 (P<0.05). After further adjustment of total cholesterol and other indicators, the correlation between TyG index and the high risk of CVD was weakened, and the TyG index in the two groups showed statistical significance at T2, T3 and T4 (P<0.05), and with the gradual increase of TyG index level, the correlation with the high risk of CVD gradually increased. Compared with T1, in male and female groups, the TyG index of high risk of CVD in T4 group [OR(95%CI)] was 1.804(1.584, 2.055) and 1.496(1.345, 1.665), respectively. There was a statistically significant difference in the OR value between male and female groups in T4 (P<0.05). Conclusion Middle-aged obese men with a high level of TyG index are more prone to CVD risk, and the TyG index level of this group should be paid more attention to.

Objective To investigate the relationship between TyG index and the high risk of CVD in middle-aged obese people of different genders,and to evaluate its role in the prevention and treatment of CVD.Methods Atotalof30,425 middle-aged obese residents were selected from 10 early screening and comprehensive intervention projects of high-risk CVD population in Anhui Province and investigated by investigators who were trained and qualified,using the preliminary screening questionnaire and basic information registration form designed by the National Cardiovascular Center. The main survey contents included gender,age,hypertension,dyslipidemia,diabetes,smoking and alcohol consumption,etc. The included residents were divided into the male group and female group. The male group was divided into T1(7.417-8.870),T2(8.871-9.204),T3(9.205-9.578) and T4(9.579-11.435) groups,the female group was divided into F1(7.579-8.876),F2(8.877-9.183),F3(9.184-9.526) and F4(9.527-11.647)groupsaccording to the quartiles of TyG index.Binary Logistic regression analysis was used to explore the relationship between TyG index and the high risk of CVD,and Z-test was used to compare the differences in effect values among subgroups. Results The high risk rate of CVD was 28.4% in the male group and 26.0% in the female group. Binary Logistic regression analysis showed that TyG index T2(F2),T3(F3),T4(F4)in male group(female group) were correlated with the high risk of CVD( P<0.05),and the correlation with the high risk of CVD increased with the gradual increase of TyG index. In the male group,the risk of developing high risk of CVD in the T4 group compared to T1was OR(95% CI)=1.827(1.622,2.058);In the female group,the risk of developing high risk of CVD in the F4 group compared to F1 was OR(95%CI)=1.552(1.410,1.708). There were significant differences in the risk of developing high risk of CVD between the T(F 4 4) group in both male and female groups (P<0.05).After further adjustment for total cholesterol and other indicators(model 2),the correlation between T2(F2),T3(F3),T4(F4)and the risk of developing high risk of CVD was attenuated.However,in both male and female groups,T2(F2),T3(F3)and T4(F4) were all correlated with the high risk of CVD( P<0.05),and the correlation increased with the gradual increase of TyG index level. In the male group,the risk of developing high risk of CVD in the T4 group compared to T1 was OR(95%CI)=1.804(1.584,2.055),in the female group,the risk of developing high risk of CVD in the T4 group compared to T1 was OR(95%CI)=1.496(1.345,1.665);There were significant differences in the risk of developing high risk of CVD between the T4(F4) group in both male and female groups( P<0.05).Conclusion Middle-aged obese men with high TyG index are more prone to develop high risk for CVD,and more attention should be paid to the TyG index level of the population.
