Abstract:
Objective To compare health status of senior high school graduates living as urban vs suburban areas in Beijing.Methods Wilcoxon rank sun test,Ridit analysis and fuzzy mathematics synthesis were used to evaluate body shape index,physical function index and health defects indicator of 39 982 senior high school graduates in Beijing.Results A total of 9 117 urban boys,9 299 suburban boys,10 380 urban girls and 11 186 suburban girls were studied.For the boys,the urban was superior to the suburban areas in body shape index (Rurt=0.518,Rsub=0.482,P<0.05) and physical function index (Rurt=0.520,Rsub=0.480,P<0.05),and the urban was inferior to suburban areas in health defects indicator (Rurb=0.501,Rsub=0.554,P<0.05) and the composite index (Ruurb=0.484,Rsub=0.516,P<0.05).For the girls,the urban was superior to the suburban areas in physical function index (Rurb=0.562,Rsob=0.442,P<0.05),and the urban was inferior to the suburban areas in health defects indicator (Rurb=0.473,Rsub=0.523,P<0.05).The differences between urban and suburban areas tended to be of no statistical significance in body shape (U=5.79,P>0.05) and composite index (U=5.73,P>0.05).In fuzzy mathematics synthesis,the scores of urban boys,suburban boys,urban girls and suburban girls were 68.37,69.13,69.83 and 69.79,respectively.Conclusion Our investigation identified some differences in body shape index,physical function index and health defects indicator among senior high school graduates living at urban vs.suburban areas,although the differences of synthetical health were not statistically significant.
