This was done by using the European Five-Dimensional Health Scale in a comprehensive manner and by analysing the factors influencing it. The findings will provide new perspectives and ideas for improving the health-related quality of life of the elderly population and enhancing the precise health management of elderly residents. Methods: The response data of 1892 elderly residents in southwestern China were included in the analysis based on the CLHLS data. The factors influencing the occurrence of problems, EQ-VAS scores and health utility values were analysed by logistic regression, multiple linear regression and Tobit regression, respectively. Results: The primary health concerns among the elderly population in the Southwest region were limited ability to perform daily activities and pain or discomfort. These individuals exhibited an EQ-VAS self-assessment score of 66.51 ± 14.87 and a health utility value of 0.87 (0.70, 1.00). Gender, age, regular medical check-ups, exercise habits and the prevalence of chronic diseases are the main influencing factors. Conclusions: The health quality of elderly people in Southwest China needs to be improved, and a comprehensive management strategy can be adopted in terms of lifestyle management, health needs management and disease management to improve the quality of their healthy lives and promote the development of healthy ageing.展开更多

Methods: A random whole-cluster sampling method was used, and a self-constructed questionnaire was administered to university freshmen via the Questionnaire Star platform to conduct a survey study, and SPSS 25.0 statistical software was used to analyze the relevant statistics. The c2 test and binary logistic regression were applied to analyze the influence factors. Results: The knowledge rate of freshmen about AIDS was 80.3%, and 5.7% of freshmen were not willing to use condoms when having sex. Multifactorial analysis showed that female students (OR = 3.96, 95% CI: 2.66 - 5.89), knowledge of AIDS (OR = 1.70, 95% CI: 1.19 - 2.42), unwillingness to have sex with others (OR = 2.12, 95% CI: 1.45 - 3.10), and having received AIDS education (OR = 0.34, 95% CI: 0.22 - 0.52) as facilitators influencing condom use. Conclusions: Freshmen in a border university have relatively good knowledge of AIDS and overall high willingness to use condoms, but still need to be improved. Schools should emphasize AIDS entrance education, focusing on health interventions for male students, establishing correct sexual concepts for new students, and improving AIDS knowledge to increase the rate of condom use among new students.展开更多
