Abstract:
A baseline survey on health knowledge was conducted in Yayuncun (Asian Games Village) Community in 2004 and 2005 respectively. A sample consisting of 1765 residents aged 15 and above from 600 households, who had lived in the community at least 5 years, was randomly taken; the "Beijing Typical Community Resident Questionnaire" was used for survey and the participants were followedup annually from 2006 to 2008. The results showed that the awareness rate of food nutrition and disease prevention increased year by year; however, the participants with educational level lower than junior middle school had the lowest rate of overall health knowledge. The main channels for local residents to acquire health knowledge were activities, lectures and other programs with the title of the Olympic Games; the educational level and the year of survey were independent affecting factors on overall health knowledge among residents.
