Impact of microplastics on children s health / 中国学校卫生

Abstract@#As a new type of pollutant, microplastics have attracted extensive attention. Children in a critical stage of growth and development are vulnerable to microplastics. Summarzing the relevant laws and regulations and the source of microplastics, the paper demonstrates the ways of microplastics entering human body, some toxic effects of microplastics found in recent experimental studies and their potential hazards to children s health are introduced in detail.

Prevalence of dyslipidemia and its influencing factors in rural residents aged 40 years and over in Liaoning Province / 预防医学

Objective@#To understand the prevalence and influencing factors of dyslipidemia in the residents aged 40 years and over in the rural areas of Liaoning Province,so as to provide basis for the development of targeted prevention and control measures.@*Methods@# From September 2017 to May 2018,by stratified cluster random sampling method,the residents aged 40 years or above from 19 villages in Liaoning Province were selected. Demographic features,height,weight,blood pressure and lipid level were collected. A logistic regression model was applied to explore the influencing factors for dyslipidemia.@*Results@#A total of 10 926 residents were recruited,with an average age of （59.97±10.08）years. The crude and standardized prevalence rate of dyslipidemia was 30.96% and 29.68%. The results of multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that women（OR=1.323,95%CI：1.189-1.473）,50-69 years old（OR：1.238-1.333,95%CI：1.075-1.523）,a high school education or below（OR：0.585-0.635,95%CI：0.439-0.842）,hypertension（OR=1.398,95%CI：1.273-1.534）,diabetes（OR=2.137,95%CI：1.918-2.381）,overweight or obesity（OR=2.101,95%CI：1.916-2.303）, meat-based meals（OR=1.306,95%CI：1.144-1.492）and vegetables intake less than 5 days a week（OR：1.169-1.387,95%CI：1.004-1.796） were associated with dyslipidemiais.@*Conclusions @# The prevalence rate of dyslipidemia was 30.96% in the rural residents aged 40 years and over in Liaoning Province. People who were females,who were 50-69 years old,and who suffered from hypertension,diabetes,overweight or obese,might take their lipid levels into consideration.
