Objective To investigate the interpersonal disturbances and its related factors among college students.Methods The field questionnaire survey was conducted among 730 college students with stratified-cluster sampling method in Zhengzhou University.The self-administered anonymous survey instruments included the Interpersonal Relationships Integrated Diagnosis Questionnaire,Parental Bonding Instrument questionnaire,Self-Rating Anxiety Scale and Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index.Results ①Detection rate of interpersonal relationship disturbance was 47.8% in 730 college students.Severe interpersonal disturbances accounted for 16.3%.The most serious problem was communication and making friends disturbance which accounted for 58.5% of the total.②)There were statistical differences of conversation scores ((2.15± 1.66),(2.53± 1.83),(2.22± 1.79)) among different major college students (medical,engineering,liberal arts) (P<0.05).A statistical difference was found in making friends((2.76±1.89),(3.18± 1.92)) and getting along with opposite gender ((2.23 ± 1.82),(1.81 ± 1.66)) between male and female (P< 0.05).There were significant differences of conversation ((2.58 ± 1.84),(2.02 ± 1.65)),making friends ((3.28 ± 1.93),(2.78 ±1.88)) and getting along with opposite gender ((2.16± 1.75),(1.77± 1.69)) between grade one and three students(P<0.05).③The interpersonal disturbances were significantly related to parental bonding styles,anxiety and sleep quality.④The results of logistic regression showed that anxiety was the main risk factor (B =1.42,OR=4.4,95% CI =1.74-9.86,P<0.01) and maternal parenting style and sleep quality were protective factors(P<0.01)of interpersonal disturbances.Conclusion The interpersonal disturbance,which are severe and affected by multiple factors in college students,should be paid attention by school,society and family to improve their learning and growing environment in order to promote their physical and mental health.

OBJECTIVES: Low grip strength is associated with decline in bone mineral density (BMD) and increased risk of spine fracture among the elderly. Smoking, a major factor determining BMD, is also known to have an indirect effect on bone loss. This study investigated whether smoking is associated with grip strength in the community-dwelling elderly in Korea. METHODS: This study was an outcome of the second of three waves of the Hallym Aging Study from January to May 2007, a population-based study of Koreans aged 45 years and upwards dwelling in Chuncheon. Its 218 subjects comprised men aged 65 years or over. They were evaluated at a general hospital for socioeconomic status, smoking history, and various clinical measures including grip strength. RESULTS: Grip strength was higher in non-, ex-, and current smokers (33.7 kg, 30.6 kg, and 29.3 kg, respectively). Current smoking was found to increase the risk of decreased grip strength (adjusted odds ratio [aOR], 4.58; 95% confidence interval [CI],1.31 to 16.04) compared with non-smoking, after adjustment for potential covariates including socioeconomic status. After adjustment for smoking effect, education of fewer than six years and monthly income of fewer than 500,000 Korean won increased the risk of decreased grip strength compared with education of more than six years (aOR, 2.88; 95% CI, 1.08 to 7.66) and monthly income of more than 1,500,000 Korean won (aOR, 2.86; 95% CI, 1.08 to 7.54). CONCLUSIONS: These results showed that current smoking, low education and low income were independent risk factors for decreased grip strength among elderly men in Korea.

Objective:
To analyze dental caries and associated factors among primary and middle school students in Henan Province, so as to provide reference for dental caries prevention and control.
Methods:
The data of physical health survey of students in Henan Province in 2019 was analyzed for caries and other related index of students aged 7, 9, 12, 14 years. Chi square test was used to compare detection rate of caries by sex and residence, analysis of variance was used to compare the height between with and without risk of caries, and Logistic regression analysis was conducted for the influencing factors of caries.
Results:
The caries rate was 56.6%. And the male students (53.4%) was lower than the female students (59.7%). The urban students (53.4%) was lower than the rural students (59.8%)( χ 2=52.31,54.00, P <0.01). The height of the caries free group was higher than that of the caries group, and the height difference was 0.5-1.6 cm; the prevalence of caries decreased with the increase of age( χ 2=992.01, P < 0.01 ). The detection rate of anemia in caries group (16.7%) was higher than that in caries free group (14.9%)( χ 2=7.98, P <0.01). Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that age ( OR =0.82) gender ( OR =1.27) urban area and rural ( OR =1.26) overweight ( OR =0.67) and obesity ( OR = 0.67 ) were all influencing factors of dental caries( P <0.01).
Conclusion
Dental caries is high among primary and middle school students in Henan Province, and dental caries affects their growth, development and nutritional status, and the prevention and control measures of dental caries among primary and middle school students should be strengthened.
