Associations of weight control related behaviors with current cigarette smoking among Chinese adolescents: Results from an ongoing school-based survey in Zhejiang province.

Introduction: Previous studies have suggested that adolescents may smoke cigarettes to control weight, but relevant research is scarce in Chinese youth. This study was conducted to examine the associations of weight control related behaviors with cigarette smoking in Chinese students.

Methods: This was a secondary analysis of data for 24835 middle and high school students drawn from the 2022 Zhejiang Youth Risk Behavior Survey of China which collected self-reported information of cigarette smoking, weight control strategies and other health-related behaviors.

Association between metabolic syndrome severity score and cardiovascular disease: results from a longitudinal cohort study on Chinese adults.

Objective: This study aimed to quantify the severity of metabolic syndrome(MetS) and investigate its association with cardiovascular disease(CVD) risk on Chinese adults.

Methods: 13,500 participants from the Zhejiang Adult Chronic Disease Study were followed up between 2010 and 2021. A continuous MetS severity score derived from the five components of MetS was used to quantify MetS severity, and the association between MetS severity and the risk of incident CVD was assessed using Cox proportional hazard and restricted cubic spline regression.

Association Between Frequency of Muscle-Strengthening Exercise and Depression Symptoms Among Middle and High School Students: Cross-Sectional Survey Study.

Background: Existing literature on the association between the frequency of muscle-strengthening exercise (MSE) and depression among adolescents is limited and contradictory.

Objective: This study aimed to elucidate the association of MSE frequency with depression symptoms among middle and high school students in China.

Methods: A total of 27,070 students in grades 7-12 from 376 middle and high schools were surveyed using an anonymous self-administered questionnaire between April and June 2022.

An Energy-Efficient ECG Processor With Ultra-Low-Parameter Multistage Neural Network and Optimized Power-of-Two Quantization.

This work presents an energy-efficient ECG processor designed for Cardiac Arrhythmia Classification. The processor integrates a pre-processing and neural network accelerator, achieved through algorithm-hardware co-design to optimize hardware resources. We propose a lightweight two-stage neural network architecture, where the first stage includes discrete wavelet transform and an ultra-low-parameter multilayer perceptron (MLP) network, and the second stage utilizes group convolution and channel shuffle.

Association between duration of electronic screen use for non-educational purposes and depression symptoms among middle and high school students: a cross-sectional study in Zhejiang Province, China.

Background: Existing literature on the association of electronic screen use duration with depression among adolescents is contradictory. The current study aimed to elucidate the association between duration of electronic screen use for non-educational purposes and depression symptoms among middle and high school students in Zhejiang Province, China.

Methods: A cross-sectional study of 27,070 students in grades 7-12 from 376 middle and high schools was conducted through an anonymous self-administered questionnaire between April and June 2022.

Sleep Status Among Children and Adolescents Aged 6-17 Years - China, 2016-2017.

What Is Already Known About This Topic?: There has been little to no description of sleep status among children and adolescents nationwide in recent years.

What Is Added By This Report?: This report assesses the sleep duration and sleep patterns of children and adolescents in China. Approximately half of the adolescents did not get the recommended amount of sleep on school days, and more than half overslept on weekends.

Disability and Comorbidity of Mood Disorders and Anxiety Disorders With Diabetes and Hypertension: Evidences From the China Mental Health Survey and Chronic Disease Surveillance in China.

Background: The China Mental Health Survey was carried out using the same sampling frame with the China Chronic Diseases and Risk Factors Surveillance. This paper explores the relationship between the disability and the comorbidity of mood disorders and anxiety disorders with diabetes and hypertension.

Methods: A large-scale nationally representative sample with both mental disorders and chronic diseases was collected from 157 Disease Surveillance Points in 31 provinces across China.

Willingness for community-based and institutional eldercare among older adults: a cross-sectional study in Zhejiang, China.

Objective: To investigate the proportion of willingness for community-based and institutional care and their correlating factors among older adults in Zhejiang Province, China.

Design: Cross-sectional study.

Setting: The Sixth National Health Service Survey, carried out in Zhejiang, China.

Hypertension Prevalence, Awareness, Treatment, Control, and Associated Factors in the Labor Force Population - China, 2015.

Hypertension has become a major public health problem worldwide because of its high prevalence and various complications, and it ranks the most important risk factor for cardiovascular diseases (CVDs). The prevalence, awareness, treatment, and control of hypertension in the labor force population in 2015 in China were 21.4%, 26.

Association between sleep duration and hypertension of migrant workers in China: a national cross-sectional surveillance study.

Objectives: To examine the relationship between sleep duration and hypertension of migrant workers aged 18-59 years in China.

Design: Population-based cross-sectional study using a complex survey sampling design.

Participants: There were 43 655 subjects in our analysis, after excluding people with missing information for key exposure and outcome variables and abnormal values for sleep duration (≤2 or ≥17 hours).
