Objective To study the health state and service of the elderly in the Tongbai community. Methods The educational degree, disease histories, daily living capability, health care demand and the controlled state of hypertension and diabetes were recorded by questionnaires and physical examination. Results Overweight or obesity (66.1%) was the common disease, hypertension (42.2%) next, then coronary disease (10.0%) and diabetes (9.1%). Nearly 43.3% hypertension patients never or seldom measured their blood pressure. The rate of ideal blood pressure was lower than 25%. 30.4% diabetes patients never or seldom measured their fasting glucose and 69.3% patients never or seldom measured their post-meal glucose. 46.1% of the elderly required one or more kinds of community health services, in which annual health examination was 32.6%, and the next was health guide (23.0%), 53.9% of the elderly had no requirement of community services except medical care. Conclusion The elderly in community had high prevalence and poor control of chronic diseases. They did not fully understand the community health services, which brought the challenges to the medical care, health prevention, health education and reasonable utility of hygiene resources in community health services.

Objective To investigate the personality traits, anxiety and depression in patients with leukemia. Methods A cross-sectional survey was performed in 120 patients with leukemia and 118 age and gender-matched controls. Personality was assessed using the Type A Behavior Pattern Questionnaire (TABPQ). Emotion was ascertained using the self-rating anxiety scale (SAS) and self-rating depression scale (SDS). The relationship between personality type A and anxiety and depression was evaluated by Pearson correlation analysis. Results The prevalence of personality type A was significantly higher in patients with leukemia than healthy controls [71.67 % (86/120) vs. 30.51 % (36/118), P< 0.01]. Patients with leukemia also had higher prevalence of anxiety and depression compared with healthy controls [36.67%(44/120) vs. 9.32%(11/118), P< 0.01; 29.17 % (35/120) vs. 5.93 % (7/118), P< 0.01]. Pearson correlation analysis showed that time-hurry (TH) and competition-hostility (CH) of personality type A correlated positively with anxiety (r=0.292, r= 0.277, respectively; both P< 0.05). Conclusion TH and CH of personality type A are associated with anxiety in leukemia patients.
