Identification and prediction of the degree of multidimensional returning to poverty risk for the household in China through the novel hybrid model: Based on the survey data of China Family Panel Studies (CFPS).

In China, absolute poverty has been effectively eliminated, but this does not signify the complete eradication of poverty. Instead, poverty persists in the forms of relative and secondary poverty. More concerningly, regions or households lifted out of poverty continue to face numerous risks of returning to poverty.

[Application of multi-level model in study of relationship between soil cadmium contamination and people's urinary cadmium level].

Objective: Based on the characteristics of hierarchical data, a multilevel model was used to analysis possible influencing factors of urinary cadmium levels in one county population, and to discuss the advantages of multilevel model for processing hierarchical data in practical problems.

Methods: In May 2013, 1 460 participants aged 20 and above in 12 administrative villages in one county in central China were recruited by cluster sampling. Urinary cadmium level and its possible influencing factors were investigated, and cadmium level in farmland soil of survey area was also tested.

[Analysis of under-reporting of mortality surveillance from 2006 to 2008 in China].

Objective: To describe the status and characteristics of under-reporting of death cases within national disease surveillance system (DSPs).

Methods: Six villages (communities) were selected in each of the 161 counties of DSPs by multi-stage random cluster sampling methods, the information of resident from 2006 to 2008 was collected, and a survey of the under-reporting deaths cases was carried out which covered 6 422 667 people in all. The under-reporting rate was estimated by ages, genders and regions.

Hypertension and health-related quality of life: an epidemiological study in patients attending hospital clinics in China.

Objective: To examine the relationship between hypertension and health-related quality of life in patients attending hospital clinics in China.

Design And Methods: A cross-sectional survey. Patients over the age of 35 years attending outpatient clinics in 18 hospitals of eight major cities of northern and southern China were interviewed between June and July, 1999.

[The study on relationship of body mass index and blood pressure in children and adolescents of Beijing].

Objective: To identify the relationship of body mass index (BMI) and blood pressure in 7 - 15 years children and adolescents of Beijing so as to provide scientific basis for early prevention of hypertension and to provide evidence for verification on the category criterion of overweight and obesity in children and adolescents of China, recommended by the Working Group on Obesity in China (WGOC) to sensitively distinguish the blood pressure in normal weight, overweight and obesity populations.

Methods: A cross-sectional survey on epidemiological characteristics of obesity with stratified cluster sampling method carried out in Beijing in April and May, 2000. 5155 students aged 6 - 15 years were selecte das research subjects.

Awareness, treatment and control of hypertension in patients attending hospital clinics in China.

Objectives: To determine awareness, treatment and control of hypertension in patients attending hospital clinics in China.

Design: A cross-sectional survey.

Patients And Setting: Patients over the age of 35 years, who were attending outpatient clinics in 18 hospitals of eight major cities of Northern and Southern China, were interviewed face-to-face between June and July 1999.

[Knowledge on hypertension and the effect of management on hypertension in patients attending hospital clinics].

Objective: To estimate the current knowledge on hypertension and the effect of management on hypertension in patients attending hospital clinics.

Methods: A cross-sectional survey was used in the outpatients over the age of 35 years in 18 general hospitals (provincial, district and community) which represented the different levels of medical care in 8 major cities covering Northern and Southern China including an interview with two blood pressure measurements and one questionnaire in one clinical visit.

Results: A total of 9 703 subjects participated in this project, who were similarly distributed by gender and age in the hospitals at different levels.

[A discussion on utility and purposed value of obesity and abdomen obesity when body mass index, waist circumference, waist to hip ratio used as indexes predicting hypertension and hyper-blood glucose].

Objective: Discussion on utility and purposed value of obesity and abdomen obesity when body mass index (BMI), waist circumference (WC), waist to hip ratio (WHR) used as indexes predicting hypertension, hyper-blood glucose, and both clusters, to provide scientific basis for the decision on the indexes and their cut-off points of obesity and abdomen obesity in Chinese people.

Methods: Using the data of diabetes mellitus (DM) from epidemiological studies carried out in 11 provinces/autonomous regions/municipalities of China from July 1995 to June 1997. Partial relative analysis, logistic multi-factors regression analysis, interaction analysis were used.
