1.Assiciation of myopia progression and sleep characteristics among lower grade primary school students in Shanghai
Chinese Journal of School Health 2024;45(5):727-731
Objective:
To study the impact of sleep characteristics on myopia, among lower primary school students in Shanghai, so as to provide foundation for the prevention of the onset and development of myopia.
Methods:
A total of 636 students from the first and second grades of two primary schools in Jiading District, Shanghai, were selected through cluster random sampling for questionnaire surveys and ophthalmological examinations in October 2022. The Childrens Sleep Habits Questionnaire (CSHQ) was used to assess sleep quality at baseline. Ophthalmological examinations were conducted in October 2023(479), during which the students study time, screen time and outdoor activity time were monitored for twoweek, repeated twice. Generalized multivariable Logistic regression models and linear regression models were employed to examine the association between sleeprelated factors and myopia, as well as the strength of this association.
Results:
The baseline survey indicated a myopia prevalence of 18.58%, with 17.18% at followup. The average CSHQ total score was (51.58±4.44), and the average daily sleep duration was (9.43±4.84)h/d, with only 11.6% of participants meeting the recommended sleep sufficiency. Multivariable regression models indicated that insufficient sleep showed positive association with myopia (OR=1.64, 95%CI=1.05-2.56), while bedtime duration was significantly negative associated with myopia (OR=0.74, 95%CI=0.63-0.91, P<0.05), adjusting for confounding factors. Inconsistency in bed rest time was a risk factor for myopia (OR=1.07, P<0.05), and the consistency of bed rest time, and wakeup time showed statistically significant correlations with SE (P<0.05). There was also statistically significant correlations between consistency in sleep time, bed rest time, and wakeup time with AL (P<0.05).
Conclusions
Insufficient sleep and bedtime duration are correlated with the onset and progression of myopia. It is critical to ensure sufficient sleep duration and regular sleep habits for children to reduce the occurrence of myopia in the primary school students.

Objective To analyze the changes of mortality and potential years of life lost (PYLL) due to chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) among residents in Baoshan District, Shanghai from 2010 to 2019 and provide strategies and basis for COPD prevention and treatment in the future. Methods Based on the cause-of-death surveillance system in Baoshan District of Shanghai from 2010 to 2019, Microsoft Excel 2010, SPSS 22.0 and Joinpoint Trend Analysis Software were used to sort out and analyze the data over the years and calculate the crude mortality, standardized mortality, age-specific mortality, PYLL, annual percent change (APC), etc. Results From 2010 to 2019, the average annual mortality of COPD was 48.08/100 000, and the standardized mortality rate was 39.95/100 000, accounting for 5.82% of the total deaths in the same period, and COPD ranked as the third leading cause of death in Baoshan District. During the 10 years, the crude and standardized mortality of male COPD patients were generally higher than those of female patients ( P <0.01). However, the crude mortality and standardized mortality of COPD showed a decreasing trend with the increase of years ( P <0.001), and an increasing trend with the increase of age, of which the proportion of patients aged 75 and above was the highest, accounting for 85.71% of all age groups. The PYLL caused by COPD deaths was 2 352.5 years, including 1 977.5 years for men and 375.0 years for women. The number of years of life lost per 10 000 people due to COPD in males (4.18 years) was much longer than that in females (0.82 years). Conclusion From 2010 to 2019, the standardized mortality of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease among residents in Baoshan District, Shanghai has shown a significant decline. However, due to the heavy burden brought by COPD, which has an especially profound impact on the health of elderly and male residents, COPD should be regarded as one of the key diseases in the prevention and control of chronic diseases in public health services, and effective preventive measures should be taken.
