Policemen's physical fitness in relation to the frequency of leisure-time physical excercise

Summary Ninety to ninety-five men (aged 27 to 46 years) from the police academy were the study subjects. Their prior habits of physical excercise, estimated aerobic capacity ( ), muscular performance, and thickness of subcutaneous fat were determined. The policemen were taller (181 cm vs 175 cm) and heavier (84 kg vs 74 kg) than the average 20- to 40-year-old Finnish man, and their (1 · min^–1) was higher (3.41 1 · min^–1 vs 2.96 1 min^–1 The frequency of prior physical exercise significantly correlated with most of the variables studied. Those policemen who did not exercise at all (n = 12) were inferior to the average 20- to 40-year-old Finnish man on all the physical fitness tests, whereas the results of the most active policemen (n = 23) were clearly higher. The results indicate that the selection of heavier and taller men for police training guarantees a certain absolute level of physical performance capacity. However, the physical activity involved in police work is insufficient to maintain a high level of physical fitness, which must be achieved through participation in regular and effective physical training.

目的 分析荆州市不同时期一二期梅毒的时空分布变化情况,为合理配置卫生资源提供参考。方法 收集2011—2019年荆州市一二期梅毒疫情资料,根据发病率高低,将荆州市一二期梅毒疫情分为2011—2013年（高）、2014—2016年（中）、2017—2019年（低）3个时期,采取趋势面、空间自相关和时空扫描分析3个时期一二期梅毒在时空上的变化趋势。结果 2011—2019年,荆州市累计报告一二期梅毒4 715例,年均发病率为9.19/10万,发病率呈下降趋势（P<0.01）。趋势面分析得出荆州市一二期梅毒的高发区域逐步从西北部（2011—2013年）向中部转移（2017—2019年）。全局空间自相关分析显示,荆州市一二期梅毒发病率在2011—2013年、2014—2016年呈正相关,且有空间聚集性（Moran’s I=0.333 6、0.210 5,均P<0.01）。局部空间自相关分析显示,一二期梅毒高值聚集区2011—2013年主要集中在公安县、荆州区、沙市区、江陵县的部分乡镇（P<0.05）,2014—2016年主要集中在荆州区、沙市区、监利县的部分乡镇（P<0.05）,2017—2019年主要集中在监利县、沙市区的部分乡镇（P<0.05）。时空扫描结果显示,主聚集区在公安县、江陵县,共24个乡镇（街道）,聚集时间为2011年4月11日至2011年8月15日（RR=4.14,LLR=93.55）。结论 3个时期荆州市一二期梅毒均存在空间聚集性,高发区域逐步缩小,2017—2019年监利县、沙市区的部分乡镇为疫情高发地区,应加强对该地区的防控工作。     

三维斑点追踪技术预测急性心肌梗死患者近期急性心衰风险的研究

目的:分析三维斑点追踪技术预测急性心肌梗死(AMI)患者近期发生急性心衰的诊断价值。方法:选取医院诊治的155例AMI患者,均予抗血小板聚集、改善心肌供血等对症治疗,并对患者出院后进行为期3个月的随访,除3例患者失联外,将剩余152例患者纳入随访结果研究。将152例患者中出现急性心力衰竭的43例患者纳入心衰组,未出现心力衰竭的109例患者纳入无心衰组。比较两组患者的年龄、性别等一般资料,并对患者N-末端脑钠肽前体(NT-pro BNP)、超敏C反应蛋白(hs-CRP)、肌钙蛋白I(cTnI)等临床常用指标及三维斑点相关指标进行比较。结果:心衰组患者的年龄、NT-proBNP、hs-CRP、c Tn I及左室收缩末期容积指数(LVESVI)均明显高于无心衰组,差异有统计学意义(t=2.279,t=3.385,t=2.212,t=2.943,t=2.289;P<0.05),射血分数(EF)、左室整体径向应变(GRS)、整体圆周应变(GCS)、整体纵向应变(GLS)及整体面积应变(GAS)明显低于无心衰组,差异有统计学意义(t=6.606,t=2.804,t=2.945,t=7.226,t=2.687;P<0.05);而两组患者的性别、合并高血压等一般资料及肾小球滤过率(e GFR)、LVEDVI等指标间差异均无统计学意义;多因素logistic分析提示,NT-pro BNP、LVESVI是影响急性心衰的独立危险因素(OR=1.002,OR=1.118;P<0.05),EF、GLS则是其独立保护因素(OR=0.795,OR=0.452;P<0.05);受试者工作特征(ROC)曲线提示GLS预测急性心衰的ROC曲线下面积(AUC)为0.881,显著高于NT-pro BNP、LVESVI及EF(Z=2.751,Z=3.107,Z=2.895;P<0.05),其诊断的最佳截点<13.42%,此时其灵敏度为95.3%,特异度为67.9%。结论:三维斑点追踪技术可以对急性AMI患者近期发生急性心衰进行有效地预测,具有较高的灵敏性及诊断效能,可以应用于急性AMI患者心衰的早期预测。

A Cross-Sectional,Correlational Study Comparing Individual Characteristics of Younger and Older Nursing Home Residents using Western Canadian Resident Assessment Instrument–Minimum Data Set (RAI-MDS) 2.0

ObjectiveTo compare characteristics of nursing home (NH) residents by age categories in Western Canada.DesignA cross-sectional, correlational analysis of secondary data.Setting and Participants89,231 residents living in Western Canada NHs in the provinces of Alberta, Manitoba, and British Columbia in 2016 and 2017.MethodsResident characteristics (age, sex, marital status, body mass index, medical diagnoses, cognitive function, physical function, depressive symptoms) came from the Resident Assessment Instrument–Minimum Data Set 2.0 and were analyzed using chi-square, analysis of variance, and post hoc pairwise tests. Human developmental stage age categories were used to create 5 age groups: 18-34, 35-50, 51-64, 65-80, and 81 years and older.ResultsThe demographics, medical diagnoses, cognitive function, and physical function characteristics of NH residents among 5 age groups differed considerably (all P < .001). Residents aged 18-34 years were predominately male, never married, with a higher incidence of paralysis and traumatic brain injury. Residents aged 35-50 years had a higher incidence of stroke and multiple sclerosis, and residents aged 51-64 years mainly were morbidly obese and more prone to depression. Residents aged 65-80 years were predominately married and more prone to diabetes, and residents aged 81 years and older were predominately widowed, with a higher incidence of dementia compared with others.Conclusions and ImplicationsFindings describe the uniqueness of younger NH age groups and indicate that the youngest NH residents often have the severe disability and a modest support system (as defined by partnered status) compared to older residents in NHs. Future studies must analyze longitudinal data that track the growth of, and changes in, residents’ health and functional status.     

Short sleep duration at night in 2.5-year-old children is associated with childhood obesity at age 5.5 years: The Japanese children cohort study

BackgroundObesity in children contributes to higher risks of various chronic diseases in adulthood and the prevalence has increased worldwide including Japan.ObjectivesThis study aims to examine the association between sleep duration at night in children aged 2.5 years and the subsequent risk of obesity at age 5.5 years.MethodsThis study is embedded in the Longitudinal Survey on Babies Born in the 21st Century, which recruited families who had a child born in Japan in 2001. The multivariable logistic regression models were applied to calculate odds ratios (OR) and 95 % confidence intervals (CI) of childhood obesity at 5.5 years, defined as percentage of overweight (POW) ≥ 20 % and body mass index (BMI) ≥ 95th percentile of this study population according to sleep duration at night collected at 2.5 years child age.ResultsAmong 25,378 children, 2.6 % and 3.7 % were obese at age 5.5 years defined by POW and BMI respectively. Compared with night sleep duration > 11 h/d, shorter sleep durations in 2.5 years-old children were associated with higher risk of obesity at 5.5 years; the multivariable ORs (95 %CI) were 1.05 (0.81–1.35), 1.23 (0.93–1.62) and 1.54 (1.04–2.31) for sleep duration 10, 9 and ≤ 8 h/d, respectively; p-trend = 0.03. The observed association differed according to the children (child’s sex, napping habits, and children frequently play at park), and family characteristics (mother’s age at delivery and mother’s level of education).ConclusionShort night sleep duration among girls aged 2.5 years was associated with risk of obesity at age 5.5 years, suggesting the importance of sufficient sleep duration at night for the prevention of obesity.
