Chinese Journal of School Health 2019;40(9):1369-1372
Objective:
To explore the association between watching TV and watching computer and visual acuity among children and adolescents, and to provide reference for Chinese students to choose electronic products in life and study.
Methods:
Subjects were from 2014 Chinese National Surveys on Students’ Constitution and Health(CNSSCH). In this survey, 213 857 Han students participated. The visual acuity results of 5 m visual acuity chart examination were recorded, and the time of completion of homework and the time of different video behaviors were investigated.
Results:
The incidence of reduced vision acuity among Chinese students increases with the time spent on homework and computer(χ2=3 748.99, 949.39, P<0.01).And it decreased as time spent at the computer increased(χ2=2 725.08, P<0.01). It was found that the incidence of poor vision of students who watched TV for a long time was lower(61.81%), followed by those who watched TV and watched computer for the same time(70.62%), and those who watched computer for a long time(79.03%). The results were statistically significant(χ2=4 862.43, P<0.01). The results of multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that compared with the students who watched TV for a long time, the students who watched TV for the same time and watched computer for a long time were more likely to have poor vision(OR=1.17, 1.21, P<0.01).
Conclusion
When using electronic products, the preference of watching large electronic screens is conducive to reducing the impact of video behavior on students' eyesight.

Objective:
To explore the epidemiological characteristics of injury among middle school students in Zhongshan city, Guangdong Province, and to provide evidence for appropriate student injury prevention strategies and injury monitoring programs.
Methods:
The cluster random sampling method was used to collect injury information among 2 212 middle school students in urban and suburban areas of Zhongshan city. SPSS 22.0 was used for statistical analysis.
Results:
Among all the 2 212 middle school students, the incidence of injury was 17.95%. The incidence of injuries (20.9%)and mutiple injuries(6.67%)among boys was higher than that of girls(15.42%,4.61%),and the differences were of statistical significance(χ2=11.21,4.45,P<0.05). The incidence of multiple injuries among junior high school students(6.70%) was higher than that among high school students(4.48%)(χ2=5.20,P<0.05). The injury occurred in the school (63.76%) was higher than that occurred outside of the school (36.24%). Most injures were more likely to occur in sports area in school(33.16%),and most injuries were found occured while doing physical activities(38.01%).
Conclusion
The prevention of injury among middle school students should focus on junior high school students and male students. School-based injury prevention and health education should focus on campus sports-related injury.

Chinese Journal of School Health 2019;40(11):1700-1702
Objective:
To understand epidemiological characteristics of echinococcosis among children and adolescents in Lhasa, and to provide basic data and theoretical support for echinococcosis prevention and control.
Methods:
The data of echinococcosis screening in Lhasa in 2017 were collected from 3-18 years old, and portable ultrasound and serum echinococcosis antibody tests were used for screening, and the diagnosis was made based on the epidemiological history and clinical manifestations.
Results:
The overall echinococcosis detection rate of children and adolescents aged 3-18 years in Lhasa was 0.12% (114/95 835).Among different age groups, the echinococcosis rate of children and adolescents aged 16 to 18 was the highest (0.17%). Among the population with different education levels, the echinococcosis rate of children and adolescents with primary education level was the highest (0.45%).The echinococcosis detection rate of herdsmen was the highest among different occupational groups (0.59%). Among the population with different living patterns, echinococcosis rate was the highest (0.70%) in "settled in winter and nomadic in summer" group. The rate of echinococcosis of children and adolescents were the highest in "nomadism" group and "half farming and half nomadism" group (both 0.20%) among different family production mode. Among different endemic counties, the echinococcosis detection rate of children and adolescents in Dangxiong county and Mozhugongka county were the highest, both of which are 0.18%.All the above differences are statistically significant(χ2=16.77,23.76,69.76,16.49,14.74,25.25,P<0.01).There was no significant difference in echinococcosis detection rate between boys and girls(P>0.05).
Conclusion
Echinococcosis is more likely to be detected in children and adolescents who are older and have a lower education level, whose production and lifestyle are involved in animal husbandry, and who live at a higher altitude. Therefore, the prevention and control of echinococcosis among children and adolescents, especially the health education, should be the focus of the government’s work.

Objective:
This study aimed to explore the association between malnutrition and the level of blood pressure (BP) as well as elevated BP (EBP) in Han students aged 7 to 18 years in China.
Methods:
170 037 subjects with normal nutritional status and malnutrition were enrolled in this study from 2014 Chinese National Surveys on Students' Constitution and Health with a multi-stage stratified cluster random sampling framework covering 31 provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities after the exclusion of 44 317 overweight and obese students. According to the standard of "Screening Standard for Malnutrition of School-age Children and Adolescents" (WS/T456-2014), the nutritional status of children were classified into two categories, normal nutritional status and malnutrition containing stunting, mild wasting and moderate severe wasting. The level of BP and prevalence of EBP were compared between students with normal nutritional status and malnutrition. The multivariate logistic regression model was used to analyze the association between malnutrition and EBP.
Results:
The levels of systolic BP (SBP) and diastolic BP (DBP) in Chinese Han students aged 7-18 years who were non-overweight and non-obesity status were (103.4±12.3) and (64.7±9.5) mmHg (1 mmHg=0.133 kPa), respectively. The prevalence of EBP, systolic EBP and diastolic EBP in Chinese Han malnourished students (
