Objective:
To investigate the association between habitual reading/writing postures and the co-occurrence of common health conditions (overweight/obesity, visual impairment, hypertension, and scoliosis) and comorbidities among children and adolescents, in order to provide data support for the joint prevention of common diseases and comorbidities among children and adolescents.
Methods:
From September 2021 to June 2022, a multi-stage cluster random sampling method was used to select a total of 4 577 children and adolescents from 16 primary and secondary schools in Ningxia: Jinfeng District of Yinchuan City, Shapotou District of Zhongwei City, Yanchi County of Wuzhong City, and Pingluo County of Shizuishan City. A weighted complex sampling design was used to investigate the association of habitual reading and writing postures with common comorbidities in children and adolescents.
Results:
The prevalence rates of common diseases among children and adolescents in Ningxia were as follows: overweight/obesity was 22.87%, visual impairment was 62.52%, scoliosis was 2.30%, and hypertension was 1.30%. The prevalence of multimorbidity (co-occurrence of ≥2 conditions) among Ningxia children and adolescents was 15.95%. Multivariate unconditional Logistic regression analysis showed that frequent/always collapsing waist and sitting forward with head lowered increased the risk of common comorbidities in children and adolescents ( OR =1.90, P <0.05). Compared with the corresponding reference group, male children and adolescents aged 9 to 12 years and boys had relatively lower risks of overweight/obesity ( OR =0.71, 0.70); the risk of poor vision among children and adolescents aged 9 to 12 years, male, and urban was relatively low ( OR =0.59, 0.60, 0.73)( P < 0.05 ). Children and adolescents who often/always sat leaning to the left or right were at higher risk of poor vision ( OR =1.78); urban children and adolescents had a higher risk of developing scoliosis ( OR =3.71); children and adolescents aged 9 to 12 had a relatively low risk of developing hypertension ( OR =0.09), and children and adolescents who often/always bent their backs and sat forward on their knees had a higher risk of hypertension ( OR =5.03)( P <0.05).
Conclusions
Ningxia has a high incidence of common diseases and multiple diseases among children and adolescents, frequent or always collapsing waist and sitting forward with head lowered is associated with common comorbidities in children and adolescents in Ningxia. Proper postural measures for reading and writing should be carried out as soon as possible to encourage children and adolescents to develop good reading and writing habits for effectively preventing and controlling the occurrence of common diseases.

Objective:To understand the molecular characteristics of the mutant strain of polymerase basic protein 2 (PB2) gene of influenza A (H1N1pdm) in Guangdong province, and to explore its specific molecular sites, so as to provide scientific basis for the prevention and control of influenza virus.Methods:Throat swab samples were collected from 2 cases infected with PB2 gene variant strains for virus isolation, and 23 influenza virus strains were selected from Guangdong province for sequencing analysis. The reference sequences and vaccine strain sequences provided by GISAID were used to perform evolutionary analysis on hemagglutinin (HA) and PB2 genes. Virus strain antigen analysis and neuraminidase (NA) inhibition test were carried out. PB2 protein model was constructed and polymerase activity was analyzed.Results:H399N amino acid mutation occurred in the HA gene of PB2-D701N and PB2-A271S variant strains, both of which belonged to the branch of 6B.1A.5a.2a. They belonged to the same big branch and different small branches as the vaccine strain A/Victoria/4897/2022, and they are all vaccine-like strains. In the three-dimensional structure, the mutations of PB2-D701N and PB2-A271S change charge and hydrophobicity.Conclusions:PB2-D701 and A271 were highly conserved, and PB2 mutant strains were not the dominant strains. The PB2 mutant had high antigenicity with the vaccine. The PB2 mutant strain is sensitive to NA inhibitors. The three-dimensional model predicted that PB2-D701N mutation could enhance virulence and affect transmissibility of influenza virus, while PB2-A271S mutation could affect polymerase activity and polymerase complex synthesis of influenza virus.

Objective:To investigate the relationship between walking speed, life-space mobility (LSM), cognitive function and mild cognitive impairment (MCI) in elderly patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus in community, and compare the predictive value of walking speed and LSM alone and combined in elderly patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus.Methods:This was a cross-sectional study. Using the convenient sampling method, a total of 448 elderly patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus from three communities in Hefei City were selected as the research objects from September 2022 to May 2023. Daily walking speed was measured using the 4-Meter Walking Speed, LSM was assessed using the Chinese version of Life-Space Assessment (LSA), and cognitive function was evaluated using the Chinese version of Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA). Participants were divided to the MCI group and non-MCI group. Spearman correlation analysis was used to explore the relationships between walking speed, LSM and cognitive function. Logistic regression analysis was used to analyze the relationship between walking speed, LSM and MCI. Area under the curve ( AUC) of receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis was performed to compare the effects of walking speed and Chinese version LSA score on the prediction of MCI alone and in combination. Results:The walking speed and the Chinese version LSA score were both positively correlated with the Chinese version MoCA score ( r=0.598, 0.543; P<0.05). Chinese version LSA score ( OR=0.942) and walking speed score ( OR=0.490) were influencing factors for MCI in elderly patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus ( P<0.05). The AUC for walking speed in predicting MCI was 0.875, with a cutoff value of 3 points. Chinese version LSA score in predicting MCI had an AUC of 0.887 with a cutoff value of 59 points. When used in combination, they achieved an AUC of 0.915, with cutoff values of 55 points for Chinese version LSA scores and 3 points for walking speed scores. Conclusions:The combination of walking speed and LSM can more accurately predict the occurrence of MCI in elderly patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus than the single application, which provide a reference for improving the cognitive function of elderly patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus.

Objective:To explore the chain mediating effect of self-rated health and aging attitudes on the relationship between life space and psychological distress of community-dwelling older adults.Methods:From August to November 2023, convenience sampling was used to select older adults from three communities of Baohe District in Hefei City as subjects. General Information Questionnaire, Life Space Assessment (LSA), Self-Rated Health (SRH), Attitudes to Aging Questionnaire (AAQ), and 10-item Kessler Psychological Distress Scale (K10) were used for the survey. Spearman correlation was used to analyze the correlation between life space and self-rated health, aging attitudes, and psychological distress. Process macro program of SPSS 25.0 software was used to test for mediating effects.Results:A total of 700 questionnaires were distributed and 669 valid questionnaires were collected, with a valid response rate of 95.57%. Among 669 community-dwelling older adults, the LSA, SRH, AAQ, and K10 scores were (74.35±19.39), (3.23±0.96), (80.66±13.43), and (19.29±6.26), respectively. Spearman correlation analysis showed a positive correlation between life space and attitudes to aging ( rs=0.568, P<0.01) and negative correlations between life space and self-rated health and psychological distress ( rs=-0.334 and -0.455; both P<0.01). The mediating effect test showed that self-rated health and aging attitudes had chain mediating effects on life space and psychological distress, with a mediating effect value of -0.053, accounting for 11.60% of the total effect. Conclusions:Life space can not only directly affect the psychological distress of community-dwelling older adults but also indirectly predict psychological distress through the mediating effect of self-rated health and aging attitudes.
