Chinese Journal of Schistosomiasis Control 2016;28(6):729-731
Objective To understand the epidemic situation,epidemiological characteristics and clinical features of import?ed malaria in Donghai County,Lianyungang City from 2005 to 2015. Methods The epidemiological data of imported malaria in Donghai County from 2005 to 2015 were collected and analyzed by the descriptive epidemiological method. Results A total of 126 imported malaria cases were reported in Donghai County from 2005 to 2015,including 101 falciparum malaria cases (80.19%),13 ovale malaria cases(10.32%),7 vivax malaria cases(5.56%),4 quartan malaria cases(3.17%),and 1 case with mixed infection(0.79%). These cases were distributed in 14 towns,and mainly in 4 towns namely Niushan,Tuofeng,Shil?iu,and Huangchuan,and the cases in the 4 towns accounted for 63.49% of the total cases. The cases occurred in the whole year,but the peak period of the disease was in April,which was related to the returned time of these patients from foreign coun?tries. All the patients were male and aged from 20 to 55 years,and those aged from 20 to 50 years accounted for 90.70%. Con?clusions The epidemic situation of imported malaria presents a rising trend in Donghai County in recent 10 years. To control imported malaria,the above?mentioned 4 towns with more migrant construction workers and businessmen should be treated as key areas. Meanwhile,the floating population management,disposal of the malaria epidemic spots,mosquito vector monitoring as well as health education should be strengthened.

Objective:
To investigate the prevalence and related factors of obesity and central obesity among 35-75 year-old population in Jiangsu Province.
Methods:
During 2015-2017,83 530 eligible subjects aged 35-75 years from six study sites of Jiangsu Province were interviewed and examined. The data of demography,lifestyles,disease history,height,weight and waistline were collected. Logistic regression analysis was conducted for the influencing factors for obesity and central obesity.
Results:
A total of 83 393 residents completed the study,with a response rate of 99.84%. The prevalence of overweight,obesity and central obesity was 43.35%(standardized rate:35.90%),20.02%(19.48%)and 59.93%(57.03%). The results of multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that females(OR=0.822,95%CI:0.786-0.859;OR=0.900,95%CI:0.851-0.952;OR=1.130,95%CI:1.083-1.179),45-75 years old(OR:1.120-1.731,95%CI:1.102-1.881),graduating from high school or above(OR:0.767-0.902,95%CI:0.721-0.943),living in urban areas(OR:1.530-2.077,95%CI:1.284-3.007),smoking(OR:0.724-0.855,95%CI:0.678-0.898),drinking (OR:1.125-1.179,95%CI:1.076-1.235),hypertension(OR:1.884-3.461,95%CI:1.821-3.613),diabetes(OR:1.363-1.758,95%CI:1.305-1.851), dyslipidemia(OR:1.478-1.870,95%CI:1.429-1.851)were associated with overweight,obesity and central obesity.
Conclusion
The standardized prevalence rates of overweight,obesity and central obesity among 35-75 year-old population in Jiangsu Province are 35.90%,19.48% and 57.03%,respectively. Gender,age,education,residence,smoking,drinking,hypertension,diabetes and dyslipidemia are related factors.
