Abstract:
Objective:To understand the relationship between the living environment and respiratory diseases in primary school students in Taizhou City of Zhejiang Province， and to explore the related factors. Methods:From 2018 to 2019， a total of 1 044 students from grade 2 to grade 5 of a primary school in Taizhou were selected by cluster random sampling method for two consecutive years to conduct a questionnaire survey during November 15 to December 31. Correlation between living environment and respiratory diseases in primary school students was analyzed. Results:Among the 1 044 students completed valid questionnaires， 224 students had suffered from respiratory diseases in the past year， accounting for 21.5% from 2018 to 2019. Logistic regression analysis showed that existence of waste collection site within 100 m of household （OR=2.522， 95%CI：1.105-5.752）， family passive smoking exposure （OR=1.781， 95%CI： 1.234-2.571）， and household use of air pollution chemicals （OR=1.915， 95%CI：1.396-2.627） were independent risk factors for respiratory diseases in primary school students. Conclusion:There are some risk factors of respiratory diseases in the living environment of primary school students in Taizhou， and prevention should be carried out in daily life to reduce the prevalence of respiratory diseases among primary school students.
