ObjectiveTo explore the prevalence and risk factors of hypertension and diabetes in floating population in Hubei province, so as to provide reference for the prevention of chronic disease of floating population. MethodA multi-stages sampling was performed among six counties in Hubei province in 2012, according to the different occupations. A questionnaire survey was conducted to collect the demography, sociology and health-related behavioral characteristics of subjects. Then a univariate analysis and a multivariate analysis were conducted by SPSS 20.0 software. ResultsA total of 1 800 individuals were surveyed, and the prevalence of hypertension and diabetes in floating population was 22.7% and 4.9%, respectively. Univariate analysis indicated that significant associations were found between hypertension and such factors as age, occupations, smoking and life satisfaction (all P values < 0.05); and significant associations were found between diabetes and such factors as occupations, educational level and BMI (all P values < 0.05). The results of further logistic regression analysis showed that age (OR=2.194, 95% CI 1.940 to 2.483, P=0.001) and life satisfaction (OR=0.291, 95% CI 0.248 to 0.341, P=0.002) were independent risk factors of hypertension, and educational level (OR=3.219, 95%CI 2.016 to 7.565, P=0.011) and gender (OR=0.568, 95% CI 0.323 to 0.999, P=0.049) were independent risk factors of diabetes. ConclusionsThe prevalence of hypertension and diabetes are relative high in floating population of Hubei Province. Increasing age and low life satisfaction are independent risk factors of hypertension in floating population, while male and low educational level are independent risks factors of diabetes.
ObjectiveTo systematically review the major risk factors of road traffic injuries, so as to provide scientific basis for road traffic injuries prevention strategies. MethodsSuch databases as PubMed, EMbase, The Cochrane Library, Springer, EBSCO, CBM, CNKI, VIP, and WanFang Data were searched from inception to March 31st, 2014, to collect case-control studies on the risk factors of motoring vehicle road traffic injuries. According to the inclusion and exclusion criteria, literature screening, data extraction, and methodological quality assessment were independently completed by two reviewers. Meta-analyses were performed using RevMan 5.2 software. ResultsEighteen studies involving 368 845 motor vehicle drivers who had traffic accidents and 411 147 motor vehicle drivers who had no traffic accident were included. The results of meta-analysis showed that, the risk factors mainly included carelessness (OR=19.95, 95%CI 6.42 to 62.03), drunk driving (OR=9.36, 95%CI 4.62 to 18.95), driving without licence (OR=5.07, 95%CI 1.93 to 13.31), illegal operation (OR=4.87, 95%CI 1.98 to 11.93), fatigue driving (OR=4.08, 95%CI 3.21 to 5.18), and lack of driving experience (OR=3.81, 95%CI 2.08 to 6.97). ConclusionCarelessness, drunk driving, driving without licence, illegal operation, fatigue driving, and lack of driving experience are major risk factors of motor vehicle road traffic injuries in China. Controlling these risk factors can effectively reduce the incidence of motor vehicle road traffic injuries.
