Background With China's socio-economic development, the dietary structure of Chinese residents has gradually shifted from a traditional Eastern pattern characterized by high carbohydrate intake to a relatively high-fat Western dietary model, alongside a growing burden of chronic diseases. However, dietary changes may vary across different occupational groups. Objective To analyze the long-term trends in dietary energy and three major macronutrient intake among various occupational groups aged 18-59 years in nine provinces of China from 1989 to 2018, providing a scientific basis for developing occupation-specific dietary intervention strategies. Methods Based on 11 waves of data (1989–2018) from the China Health and Nutrition Survey (CHNS), 57458 employed individuals aged 18-59 years were selected as observation subjects after applying inclusion and exclusion criteria. Joinpoint regression was used to analyze temporal trends by calculating the annual percentage change (APC) and average annual percentage change (AAPC) with 95% confidence intervals. The analysis covered the energy supply ratio from the three major macronutrients and the proportion of the participants within the acceptable macronutrient distribution ranges (AMDR) for the total occupational population and specific occupational group. Results From 1989 to 2018, the dietary structure of the occupational population in the nine provinces gradually Westernized. The carbohydrate energy supply ratio showed a decreasing trend (AAPC=−0.77%, 95%CI: −1.00%, −0.55%, P<0.05), while the fat energy supply ratio increased (AAPC=1.42%, 95%CI: 1.07%, 1.77%, P<0.05). The protein energy supply ratio remained largely unchanged (AAPC=−0.19%, 95%CI: −0.08%, 0.46%, P>0.05), and the total energy intake declined (AAPC=−0.62%, 95%CI: −0.94%, −0.30%, P<0.05). Among the occupational groups studied, white-collar workers were the first to show characteristics of dietary Westernization. Using the AMDR as the criterion, their average fat energy supply ratio first exceeded the AMDR upper limit (30%) in 1993, and their average carbohydrate energy supply ratio first fell below the AMDR lower limit (50%) in 2006, both time points being earlier than other occupational groups. Agricultural workers lagged in this transition (their average fat energy supply ratio first reached ≥30% in 2011), but their rate of increase in the fat energy supply ratio was the fastest among all occupational groups (AAPC=1.59%, 95%CI: 0.90%, 2.30%, P<0.05; P for trend comparison between groups<0.05). The other three occupational groups (blue-collar workers, service workers, and others) generally fell between these two extremes. Taking the fat energy supply ratio as an example, their AAPCs of increase were 1.02% (95%CI: 0.73%, 1.32%, P<0.05) for blue-collar workers, 0.85% (95%CI: 0.61%, 1.09%, P<0.05) for service workers, and 0.88% (95%CI: 0.58%, 1.17%, P<0.05) for others. Conclusion From 1989 to 2018, the macronutrient structure of the occupational population aged 18-59 years in nine China provinces is gradually Westernized. The energy supply ratios of carbohydrates and proteins primarily face issues of potential inadequacy, while the fat energy supply ratio is excessively high. Furthermore, the patterns of change vary among different occupational groups. It is recommended to propose personalized dietary advice tailored to specific occupations.

Objective To investigate the effect of lifestyle on cognitive decline in rural people aged 40 years and older in Xi'an.Methods This was a prospective cohort study.People aged 40 years and older in two villages in Huyi District were selected as the study population.They completed the baseline survey from October 2014 to March 2015 as well as two follow-up visits in 2016 and 2018,respectively.A comprehensive score of lifestyle was calculated based on factors including smoking,drinking,exercise,and diet collected at the baseline.The Mini-Mental State Examination(MMSE)was used to evaluate global cognitive function at both baseline and follow-up;a≥4-point decrease in MMSE score from the baseline was defined as marked cognitive decline.Multivariable Logistic regression,propensity score correction,and propensity score matching were used to investigate the relationship between lifestyle and cognitive decline.Results A total of 1 348 participants were ultimately enrolled and 56(4.2％)of them met the criteria for marked cognitive decline(△MMSE≥4-points).Among them,386(28.6％)people had smoking history,184(13.6％)were drinkers,214(15.9％)lacked physical activity,and 400(29.7％)ate a diet high in oil and salt.Generally,304(22.6％)met the definition of the unhealthy lifestyle(comprehensive score＜6),which means more than one of the four subscales was unhealthy or more than two were relatively unhealthy.Multivariable Logistic regression analysis showed that unhealthy lifestyle was positively associated with marked cognitive decline(OR=2.838,95％CI:1.302-5.525,P=0.005).Propensity-score adjusted model yielded very similar results(OR=2.786,95％CI:1.371-5.661,P=0.005).Propensity score matching was performed to further balance the differences in covariates between the two groups.Multivariate Logistic regression analysis conducted in the matched population revealed that the risk of marked cognitive decline was still higher in those with unhealthy lifestyle(OR=3.994,95％CI:1.582-12.176,P=0.006).Conclusion Unhealthy lifestyle is associated with an increased risk of cognitive decline in cognitively normal people aged 40 years and older.

Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease(CJD)is a rapidly progressive and fatal neurodegenerative disorder caused by prions,with certain infectivity and iatrogenic transmission risks.With the rapid progress and application of new dia-gnostic biomarkers and detection methods,as well as the construction and improvement of surveillance and reporting systems,the detection of CJD in patients domestically and internationally has shown an increasing trend year by year.Due to its long incubation period and heterogeneity of early symptoms,early identification and diagnosis of the disease is difficult,increasing the risk of transmission within medical institutions.Currently,there is a lack of con-sensus on the infection prevention and control of CJD.In order to timely identify and diagnose CJD as well as effec-tively block its transmission in medical institutions,this consensus summarizes 15 clinical concerns and formulates 24 specific recommendations based on the latest domestic and international research findings and clinical evidence,as well as combines with clinical practice,aiming to standardize healthcare-associated infection prevention and control measures for CJD and reduce its transmission risk in medical institutions.
