Clustering of multiple health risk behaviors and its association with diabetes in a Southern Chinese adult population: a cross-sectional study.

ABSTRACT: Background:Identifying the clustering patterns of health risk behaviors (HRBs) within individuals and their health impacts are essential to develop lifestyle promotion strategies. This study aimed to explore the clustering of a range of HRBs and the associations between such identified clusters and diabetes in Southern Chinese adults. Methods:Data from 5,734 adults aged 35-75 years and underwent health examinations from November 2012 to December 2013 at a tertiary hospital in Guangzhou were analyzed. Behavioral characteristics, including smoking, alcohol use, physical activity, and sleep duration and quality, were measured by questionnaires. Latent class analysis was conducted by gender to identify HRBs clustering patterns, and logistic regression models were used to estimate the associations between behavioral patterns and diabetes. Results:Three distinct behavioral clusters emerged in both genders. Male classes were defined as: (1) healthy lifestyle (Class 1, 62.9%); (2) cumulate harmful habits (Class 2, 27.1%); (3) poor sleep and risky habits (Class 3, 10.0%). Female classes were: (1) healthy lifestyle (Class 1, 83.0%); (2) inactive, daytime dysfunction (Class 2, 5.7%); (3) poor sleep habits (Class 3, 11.3%). Individuals of Class 2 and Class 3 showed a higher likelihood of diabetes across genders (multivariable-adjusted ORs [95% CIs], 2.03 [1.49-2.76] and 2.61 [1.78-3.81] among males, 2.64 [1.16-5.98] and 1.81 [1.07-3.06] among females) when compared with those of Class 1. Conclusions:Our data provided additional evidence of HRBs clustering among adults, and such clustering was associated with an increased risk of diabetes. These findings have implications for identifying vulnerable subgroups and developing diabetes prevention programs.

Project description:Purpose: This study aimed to determine the patterns associated with adult mandibular fractures from a Level-I trauma center in southern Taiwan. Methods: The data of adult trauma patients admitted between 1 January 2009 and 31 December 2014 were retrieved from the Trauma Registry System and retrospectively reviewed. Fracture site and cause of injury were categorized into groups for comparison, and corresponding odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were obtained by multivariate logistic regression. Results: Motorcycle accidents were the most common cause of mandibular fractures (76.3%), followed by falls (10.9%), motor vehicle accidents (4.8%), and being struck by/against objects (4.5%). Of the 503 cases of mandibular fractures, the condylar neck and head were the most common sites (32.0%), followed by the parasymphysis (21.7%), symphysis (19.5%), angle and ramus (17.5%), and body (9.3%). The location of mandibular fractures in patients who had motorcycle accidents was similar to that in all patients. Motor vehicle accidents resulted in a significantly higher number of body fractures (OR 3.3, 95% CI 1.24-8.76, p = 0.017) and struck injury in a significantly higher number of angle and ramus fractures (OR 3.9, 95% CI 1.48-10.26, p = 0.006) compared to motorcycle accidents. The helmet-wearing status and body weight were not associated with the location of mandibular fractures in motorcycle accidents. Conclusions: Our study revealed that the anatomic fracture sites of mandible were specifically related to different etiologies. In southern Taiwan, motorcycle accidents accounted for the major cause of mandibular fractures and were associated with the condylar neck and head as the most frequent fracture sites. In contrast, motor vehicle accidents and struck injuries tended to cause more body fracture as well as angle and ramus fracture compared to motorcycle accidents. Furthermore, the status of helmet-wearing and body weight were not associated with the location of mandible fractures caused by motorcycle accidents.

Project description:Introduction: Human body models (HBMs) play a key role in improving modern vehicle safety systems to protect broad populations. However, their geometry is commonly derived from single individuals chosen to meet global anthropometric targets, thus their internal anatomy may not fully represent the HBM’s target demographic. Past studies show sixth rib cross-sectional geometry differences between HBM ribs and population-derived ribs, and corrections to HBM ribs based on these data have improved HBM’s abilities to predict rib fracture locations. Methods: We measure and report average and standard deviations (SDs) in rib cross-sectional geometric properties derived from live subject CT scans of 240 adults aged 18–90. Male and female results are given as functions of rib number and rib lengthwise position for ribs 2 through 11. Population means/SDs are reported for measures of rib total area, rib cortical bone area, and rib endosteal area, as well as inertial moment properties of these rib sections. These population corridors are compared between males and females, and against the baseline rib geometries defined in six current HBMs. Results: Total cross-sectional area results found average males ribs to be larger than those of females by between approximately 1–2 SDs depending on rib number and position, and larger in cortical bone cross-sectional area by between 0–1 SDs. Inertial moment ratios showed female ribs being between approximately 0–1 SDs more elongated than male ribs, dependent again on rib number and position. Rib cross-sectional areas from 5 of the 6 HBMs were found to be overly large along substantial portions of most ribs when compared to average population corridors. Similarly, rib aspect ratios in HBMs deviated from average population data by up to 3 SDs in regions towards sternal rib ends. Discussion: Overall, while most HBMs capture overall trends such as reductions in cross-section along shaft lengths, many also exhibit local variation that deviates from population trends. This study’s results provide the first reference values for assessing the cross-sectional geometry of human ribs across a wide range of rib levels. Results also further provide clear guidelines to improve rib geometry definitions present in current HBMs in order to better represent their target demographic.
