Objective To evaluate the effect of the intervention combined the high blood pressure health literacy(HBP-HL) with the stages of change on waist circumference( WC),body mass index( BMI) and physiological-biochemical indexes among the Kazakh-Chinese hypertensive patients. Methods The in-terventional plan was built based on the " Stages of Change of Transtheoretical Model" . This randomized con-trolled trial study was carried out from July 2014 to January 2016,and Kazakh hypertension patients from" qianjin" and " small canal" pastoral areas were sampled using stratified cluster sampling method,with 74 patients from each place. The general health management combined with " High Blood Pressure Health Edu-cation" handbook was applied in the control group. The intervention group was given the 12-month interven-tion combined the HBP-HL with the stages of change based on the control group. Meanwhile,WC,BMI and other data were collected at the first,twelfth and eighteenth months. Results Repeated variance analysis showed interaction effects between time and group (F=14. 396,15. 214,P<0. 05),indicating that the effect of intervention factors on WC and BMI would increase over time when intervention existed. The total choles-terol ((5. 69±0. 93)mol/L),low density lipoprotein ((3. 74±0. 86)mol/L) and serum creatinine ((65. 46 ±13. 45)mol/L) of hypertension patients in intervention group were lower than those before intervention (t=3. 998,4. 581,2. 574,P<0. 05). After intervention,the scores of total health literacy ( t=5. 157) ,under-standing ability (t=6. 504),the latest vital signs (t=11. 583) and avoiding food allergy ( t=3. 778) of the intervention group were higher than those of the control group,and the differences were statistically significant (P<0. 05). Conclusions The intervention strategy of " health literacy-behavioral change stage" is feasible and effective. It can significantly reduce WC,BMI,total cholesterol,low density lipoprotein and serum creati-nine in Kazakh hypertension patients in pastoral areas,and the short-term maintenance effect of the interven-tion is acceptable.

Objective:Based on the health ecological model, this paper systematically explores the influencing factors of mild cognitive impairment among the elderly herders in Nanshan pastoral area of Xinjiang, and provides the basis for local medical institutions to formulate prevention and control strategies for mild cognitive impairment among the elderly herders.Methods:A total of 1 145 valid questionnaires were collected, all of them were permanent herdsmen aged over 60 years in Nanshan pastoral area of Xinjiang were selected from June 2022 to February 2023 by stratified cluster random sampling method in a cross-sectional survey. Under the guidance of health ecological model, the research variables were included from five dimensions: physiology, psychology, behavioral lifestyle, social network and medical and health environment, and questionnaires were conducted. SPSS 23.0 was used for chi-square test and binary Logistic regression to analyze the influencing factors of mild cognitive impairment in elderly herders.Results:There were 564 males and 581 females with age of (70.84 ± 5.69) years old in the study. The prevalence rate of mild cognitive impairment among elderly herdsmen in Nanshan pastoral area of Xinjiang was 36.1%(413/1 145). Binary Logistic regression analysis showed that: personal monthly income (1 000-2 999 yuan)( OR = 0.583, 95% CI 0.366 - 0.926, P<0.05), education level (junior high school and above)( OR = 0.479, 95% CI 0.315 - 0.728, P<0.01) were the protective factors for mild cognitive impairment among the elderly herdsmen in Nanshan pastoral area. Hypertension ( OR = 1.842, 95% CI 1.256 - 2.702, P<0.01), dyslipidemia ( OR = 1.449, 95% CI 1.069 - 1.964, P<0.05) and chronic pain ( OR = 1.549, 95% CI 1.082 - 2.216, P<0.05) were the risk factors of mild cognitive impairment in elderly herders in Nanshan pastoral area. Conclusions:The prevalence rate of mild cognitive impairment among elderly herders in Nanshan pastoral area of Xinjiang is high, so it is necessary to carry out mild cognitive impairment screening as soon as possible, especially focusing on people suffering from hypertension, dyslipidemia and chronic pain, and making intervention plans to delay the occurrence and development of mild cognitive impairment and improve the quality of life of elderly herders.
