Methods A total of 562 healthy male volunteers were recruited during their premarital examinations in seven provincials and municipal regions' MCH centers; descriptive and principal component analyses were used to analyze data.Results The findings show that semen volume (2. 61± 1. 10 mL), sperm density (64. 47× 34. 59× 106/mL), percentage of sperm forward progression (59. 89%± 17. 11%), percentage of sperm viability (77. 19% ± 11. 87%), and percentage of normal sperm morphology ( 78. 23% ± 9. 15% ). The first principal component function is Z1= -8.512 54 + 0. 001 35X1' + 0. 031 92X2'+0. 043 52X3'+ 0. 039 84X4', which is closely related to percentage of sperm viability (X3), percentage of sperm forward progression (X2), and percentage of normal sperm morphology (X4)The second principal component function is: Z2= 0. 491 92+ 0. 080 80X1- 0. 000 58X2-0. 005 10X3- 0. 018 07X4, which depends on the total sperm count (X1). Conclusion Only 42. 3% subjects meet all the common WHO standard of semen quality. The multiple analysis of Z1 showed that the highest Z1 are among subjects from Guizhou,workers, or town residents. Multiple analysis of Z2 showed that the older age when the subjects had the first sexual impulse, the longer period of sexual abstinence and more quantity of sperm they had; the more sexual activity subjects had, the less amount of sperm they had.展开更多

文摘Background:The prevalence of multimorbidity is increasing,with a notable shift towards younger age groups.Methods:Convenience sampling was employed to select 15,988 young and middle-aged adults in Chongqing as the study population.The Apriori algorithm was used to identify the multimorbidity patterns within this population,while an unordered binary logistic regression model was applied to assess the association between sleep,diet and the risk of multimorbidity.Results:The study population had an average age of 39.2±10.1 years.Apriori association rules revealed that the most prevalent binary chronic disease multimorbidity pattern was dyslipidaemia+hypertension(14.78%),while the most common ternary chronic disease multimorbidity pattern was diabetes+dyslipidaemia+hypertension(9.66%).The logistic regression analysis revealed that a lower rating of sleep quality was associated with an elevated risk of multimorbidity(odds ratio(OR)=1.17,95%confidence interval(CI):1.01,1.36).Individuals who adhere to a meat-based diet(OR=1.45,95%CI:1.25,1.68)and those with elevated salt intake(OR=1.22,95%CI:1.01,1.47)were also observed to have an increased risk of multimorbidity.Additionally,a greater likelihood of multimorbidity was observed among those following a spicy diet(OR=1.3,95%CI:1.11,1.52)and consuming more oil(OR=1.16,95%CI:1.01,1.33).Conclusion:A poor sleep quality and a dietary preference for meat-based,salt,spicy and oils were found to be associated with an increased risk of multimorbidity progression among young and middle-aged populations.It is recommended that young and middle-aged adults should pay attention not only to sleep duration but also to sleep quality and improve dietary habits to reduce the likelihood of multimorbidity.
文摘Objective:To explore the potential categories and influencing factors of self-advocacy in young and middle-aged patients with breast cancer and to provide a theoretical basis for personalized intervention.Methods:From September 2023 to March 2024,314 young and middle-aged breast cancer patients were studied.Female cancer patients were surveyed using the self-advocacy scale,social support rating scale,and chronic health literacy scale.Latent profile analysis was used to investigate the heterogeneity and influencing factors of self-advocacy.Results:Self-advocacy among young and middle-aged breast cancer patients were classified into two potential categories:low advocacy-lack of support(51.7%)and high advocacy-effective communication(48.3%).Binary logistic regression analysis indicated that educational level,per capita monthly income,social support,and health literacy were significant influencing factors of these categories(P<0.05).Conclusion:Self-advocacy in young and middle-aged breast cancer patients demonstrates categorical heterogeneity.Identifying self-advocacy characteristics and implementing targeted intervention strategies—focused on self-efficacy and improving health literacy—can enhance self-advocacy in these patients.

文摘This study investigates mental health literacy among young and middle-aged urban and rural residents and the differences in mental health literacy,perceived social support and subjective well-being.From January to February 2022,620 participants(320 rural and 300 urban residents)from three provinces of China were selected by con-venience sampling.A general data questionnaire,mental health literacy scale,perceived social support scale and subjective well-being scale were administered.The mental health literacy scores of urban residents were 3.34±0.57 and those of rural residents were 2.73±0.79.The results of multiple regression analysis showed that the mental health literacy scores of rural residents were more significant than those of urban residents in terms of sex and age,while urban residents’mental health literacy scores were more significant than those of rural resi-dents in terms of monthly income.Mental health literacy,perceived social support and subjective well-being of young and middle-aged urban and rural residents were all positively correlated(P<0.01).While the level of mental health literacy is better among urban residents than rural residents,perceived social support plays a partial mediating role between mental health literacy and subjective well-being of both urban and rural residents,and should be the focus of researchers seeking to improve the level of well-being of residents.
文摘Objective This study aimed to examine the trends in stroke mortality among young and middle-aged adults in China.Methods Data were obtained from the China national vital registration system.Significant changes in mortality were assessed by Joinpoint regression.Age-period-cohort analysis was used to explain the reasons for the changes.Future mortality and counts were predicted by the Bayesian age-period-cohort model.Results Between 2002 and 2019,a total of 6,253,951 stroke mortality in young and middle-aged adults were recorded.The age-adjusted mortality rates(AAMRs)of women showed a downward trend.The annual percent changes(APC)were-3.5%(-5.2%,-1.7%)for urban women and-2.8%(-3.7%,-1.9%)for rural women.By contrast,the AAMRs per 100,000 for rural men aged 25–44 years continued to rise from 9.40 to 15.46.The AAMRS for urban men aged 25–44 years and urban and rural men aged 45–64years did not change significantly.Between 2020 and 2030,the projected stroke deaths are 1,423,584 in men and 401,712 in women.Conclusion Significant sex and age disparities in the trends of stroke mortality among young and middle-aged adults were identified in China.Targeted health policy measures are needed to address the burden of stroke in the young generation,especially for rural men,with a focus on the prevention and management of high risk factors.

文摘Background:To investigate the effect of fatigue on the short-term prognosis of young and middle-aged patients with coronary heart disease(CHD).Methods:A cross-sectional,observational survey was distributed at a tertiary hospital in Suzhou,China.Patients were assessed for fatigue and their prognosis was assessed at 3 and 6 months after discharge.General Information Questionnaire,Fatigue Scale and Seattle Angina Questionnaire(SAQ)were used for the survey.The Cox proportional hazard model was used to analyze the impact of fatigue on the occurrence of major adverse cardiac events(MACEs)at 3 and 6 months after discharge.Multiple linear regression models were used to analyze the effect of fatigue on health-related quality of life(HRQoL)at 3 and 6 months after discharge.Results:199 patients were followed up with in the end.43 patients(21.6%)with MACE three months after discharge had a total SAQ score of(399.76±39.61).The overall SAQ score was(425.14±22.66)and 52 patients(26.1%)experienced MACE six months after discharge.Fatigue was identified as a risk factor for MACE 6 months after discharge by the Cox proportional hazard model(HR=2.939,95%CI:0.177~0.655,P=0.001)and as an independent risk factor for quality of life 3 and 6 months after discharge by multiple linear regression(P<0.001).Conclusions:In individuals who are young or middle-aged and have coronary heart disease,fatigue is a risk factor for the short-term prognosis.It is advised that clinical professionals prioritize patient fatigue assessment and improve management of fatigue symptoms.
文摘Qi deficiency of the spleen and stomach,transportation,phlegm and dampness generate endogenous and turbid phlegm that violates the position of yang clearance.As a result,dizziness cis resulted.The author believes that the incidence of middle-aged and young patients with hypertension is mostly related to the dysfunction of liver and spleen.Liver depression and qi stagnation is the beginning of the onset;spleen deficiency and dyskinesia is the norm of the onset;and liver and spleen imbalance is the origin of the onset.It is advocated that regulating the liver and spleen to restore the rise and fall,harmonizing qi and blood and preventing lesions are the main treatment methods for the treatment of middle-aged and young people’s hypertension,which is conducive to the development of more clinical diagnosis and treatment ideas for hypertension amomg middle-aged and young people.
文摘Objective To understand the current semen quality status among Chinese young men and influential factors in China and to explore its evaluation index. Methods A total of 562 healthy male volunteers were recruited during their premarital examinations in seven provincials and municipal regions' MCH centers; descriptive and principal component analyses were used to analyze data.Results The findings show that semen volume (2. 61± 1. 10 mL), sperm density (64. 47× 34. 59× 106/mL), percentage of sperm forward progression (59. 89%± 17. 11%), percentage of sperm viability (77. 19% ± 11. 87%), and percentage of normal sperm morphology ( 78. 23% ± 9. 15% ). The first principal component function is Z1= -8.512 54 + 0. 001 35X1' + 0. 031 92X2'+0. 043 52X3'+ 0. 039 84X4', which is closely related to percentage of sperm viability (X3), percentage of sperm forward progression (X2), and percentage of normal sperm morphology (X4)The second principal component function is: Z2= 0. 491 92+ 0. 080 80X1- 0. 000 58X2-0. 005 10X3- 0. 018 07X4, which depends on the total sperm count (X1). Conclusion Only 42. 3% subjects meet all the common WHO standard of semen quality. The multiple analysis of Z1 showed that the highest Z1 are among subjects from Guizhou,workers, or town residents. Multiple analysis of Z2 showed that the older age when the subjects had the first sexual impulse, the longer period of sexual abstinence and more quantity of sperm they had; the more sexual activity subjects had, the less amount of sperm they had.
文摘BACKGROUND Percutaneous coronary intervention(PCI)is one of the main treatment methods for myocardial infarction(MI).Despite its positive effects,patients often experience different degrees of anxiety and depression after the intervention.Therefore,effectively changing the emotional state of patients with MI during PCI remains a focus of clinical research.AIM To assess the effect of music therapy and motivational interviewing in young and middle-aged patients with anxiety and depression after PCI.METHODS We collected data from January 2022 to December 2023 from 86 young and middle-aged patients with MI after PCI.They were divided into observation and control groups according to the random throwing method.The observation group consisted of 43 patients undergoing music therapy and motivational interviewing,and the control group(43 cases)underwent music therapy and conventional communication.The two groups were then compared on mood status[Chinese Brief Mood Status Scale(POMS)],coping methods[Medical Coping Methods Questionnaire(MCMQ)Chinese version],and healthy lifestyle behaviors[Heart Health Self-Efficacy and Self-Management(HH-SESM)scale].RESULTS Two weeks post-intervention,the observation group had lower POMS scores,improved MCMQ scores,and higher HH-SESM scores than the control group(P<0.05).CONCLUSION The combined intervention of music therapy and motivational interviewing for young and middle-aged patients with anxiety and depression after MI can effectively regulate their mood,reduce anxiety and depression symptoms,and stimulate patients to actively face their condition.It also encourages the formation of healthy behavioral habits.
