Abstract:
Objective To investigate the knowledge,attitude and practice (KAP) to chronic diseases and associated influencing factors in Uygur adults in Kashgar of southern Xinjiang,and provide basic information for developing ethnic specific prevention and control strategies for chronic diseases.Methods With stratified cluster random sampling,investigations,including questionnaire survey,physical examination and laboratory tests were performed among local residents who were aged ≥ 18 years and selected in Shufu county in southern Xinjiang.KAP scores were calculated and unconditional logistic regression models were used to analyze influencing factors.Results A total of 4 772 Uygur adults were surveyed.The awareness rate of chronic disease related knowledge ranged from 4.32％ to 56.04％,while the awareness rate of preventive measures were from 1.76％ to 85.18％ and the participation rate of prevention program varied from 4.00％ to 97.99％.The average KAP score was 15.90 ± 4.20 and the rate of total KAP was 47.86％.Multi-factor analysis suggested the pass rate of total KAP score increased with educational level.Other factors positively associated with ‘KAP score pass rate’ were commercial insurance investment,hypertension,family history of common chronic diseases,female and abdominal obesity,while overweight was negatively associated with the KAP score pass rate.Conclusions The KAP level on chronic diseases was low in Uygur adults in Kashgar.It is necessary to continuously implement ethnic targeted health education and health promotion campaigns,especially in low education level,low income level,overweight and male groups.
