Objective To establish a surveillance and early warning indicator system for key infectious diseases in Anhui Province, and standardize the construction and application of surveillance and early warning system. Methods A preliminary framework of the indicator system was developed through literature review and focus group discussions. Eighteen experts from within and outside Anhui Province were invited to conduct a Delphi expert consultation to score indicators at all levels. The final indicator system was determined based on screening criteria and expert suggestions, and the weights of each indicator were calculated by using the analytic hierarchy process. Results The positive coefficients of two rounds of expert consultations were both 100%, and the authority coefficients were both ≥0.91. The Kendall’s coordination coefficients of each index ranged from 0.249 to 0.377 (all P<0.05). The final monitoring and early warning indicator system consisted of 3 first-level indicators, 9 second-level indicators, and 43 third-level indicators. The indicators with the highest weights at the first, second, and third levels were “surveillance and early warning indicators for outbreak/epidemic risk factors”“disease surveillance and public health emergency reports” and “pathogen carrier rates and population density changes of vectors such as mosquitoes, ticks, and rodents”, respectively. Conclusion The surveillance and early warning indicator system for key infectious diseases constructed in this study has certain scientificity and rationality. In the future, through field application verification, the indicator system will be continuously improved to provide theoretical references for the early detection and warning of key infectious diseases in Anhui Province.

Acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (AECOPD) is one of the leading causes of death among chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) patients, significantly impacting disease progression and clinical outcomes. Studies have shown that AECOPD accelerates the decline in lung function and increases the risk of mortality. This article conducts a systematic review to provide an in-depth analysis of the research progress in the epidemiological characteristics, related risk factors, and prevention and treatment strategies of AECOPD. The results indicate that the frequency of AECOPD is closely associated with factors such as age, gender, and the degree of lung function impairment, while respiratory infections, smoking, air pollution, and comorbidities are its major risk factors. In terms of prevention and treatment, personalized management strategies based on risk stratification, as well as novel treatment models, demonstrate significant application value. This review aims to provide a theoretical basis for the early prevention and standardized management of AECOPD in clinical practice, and to offer references for the development of targeted prevention and control strategies.

Objective To understand the lung health status and influencing factors of dust-exposed workers in Guizhou Province in 2023, so as to provide scientific basis for the prevention and treatment of pneumoconiosis in Guizhou Province. Methods The relevant data of 1 634 dust-exposed workers in Guizhou Province in 2023 were derived from the Occupational Disease and Occupational Health Information Monitoring System and the Workplace Occupational Disease Hazard Factors Monitoring System, which were both subsystems of the China Disease Prevention and Control Information System. The abnormal rates of chest X-ray and pulmonary function were calculated. Binary logistic regression analysis was used to analyze the influencing factors. Results The abnormal rate of chest X-ray of dust-exposed workers was 9.73% (159/1 634), the abnormal rate of pulmonary function was 18.91% (309/1 634), and the rate of pneumoconiosis-like changes was 2.51% (41/1 634). The results of multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that age, gender, and dust type were independent influencing factors for abnormal chest X-ray (all P<0.05). The risk of abnormal chest X-ray in workers aged 35-44, 45-54, and ≥55 was 6.213 times, 18.915 times, and 20.132 times higher than that of workers aged 18-34, respectively. The risk of abnormal chest X-ray in males was 3.685 times higher than that in females. The risk of abnormal chest X-ray of workers exposed to silica dust and cement dust was 4.517 times and 4.003 times higher than that of workers exposed to other types of dust, respectively. Dust concertration and dust type were independent influencing factors for abnormal pulmonary function. The risk of abnormal pulmonary function among workers exposed to dust with concentrations exceeding the standard was 1.470 times higher than that of workers exposed to dust with concentrations not exceeding the standard. The risk of abnormal pulmonary function of dust-exposed workers exposed to cement dust was 2.101 times higher than that of workers exposed to other types of dust. Conclusion Age, gender, and dust type are the main influencing factors for abnormal chest X-ray in dust-exposed workers. Dust concertration and dust type, are the main influencing factors for abnormal pulmonary function in dust-exposed workers. The supervision and management of key industries and key populations should be strengthened to reduce the incidence of pneumoconiosis and protect the health of workers.

Objective To establish the adolescent concise health index (ACHI) in Bao'an District of Shenzhen,and to provide a quantitative tool for comprehensively evaluating youth health at the regional level. Methods Six indicators were selected: waist circumference,relative grip strength,mental health status,physical exercise,screen time,and sleep duration.The AHP-CRITIC combined weighting method was used to determine the weight coefficients of each indicator,and the TOPSIS method was applied to calculate the students' ACHI.Differences in ACHI among students from different schools were compared and analyzed by using ANOVA or t-tests. Results A total of 3 930 adolescents from Bao'an District of Shenzhen were included,with an average age of (14.71±1.45) years,and males accounting for 51.81% (2 036/3 930).The coefficient ranges for the AHP-CRITIC combined weighting method of ACHI were as follows: waist circumference (0.097 4-0.108 6),relative grip strength (0.139 8-0.145 7),mental health status (0.340 4-0.362 3),screen time (0.134 1-0.140 5),sleep duration (0.117 0-0.141 7),and physical exercise (0.118 7-0.153 9).The TOPSIS results showed that in junior high schools,male and female students in School B had higher ACHI than those in School A and School C (F=3.258,P=0.039;F=9.988,P<0.001).In senior high schools,male and female students in School E demonstrated significantly higher ACHI than those in School D,with statistically significant differences (t=5.130,P=0.024;t=3.184,P=0.002). Conclusion The ACHI constructed in this study can reflect health disparities among students from different schools in Bao'an District,and can serve as a quantitative tool for adolescent health surveillance and comprehensive evaluation in Bao'an District.

Objective To analyze the effects of different walking interventions on body mass index (BMI),waist circumference of occupational population,and to provide the basis for scientific walking. Methods A total of 12 493 people aged 18 to 60 years old who participated in the Healthy Walking Incentive Program in Anhui Province from 2017 to 2021 were selected as the research subjects.A uniform pedometer,height tester and waist circumference were used to measure the walking behavior,height,weight and waist circumference of the study subject.The quantitative relationship between walking behavior and BMI and waist circumference was analyzed by generalized linear model (GLM).A three categorical ordered cumulative logistic regression model was used to analyze the influence of walking on overweight,obesity and central obesity. Results During the five years,a total of 12 493 subjects completed walking activities in line with the Healthy Walking Incentive Program in Anhui Province and finished all measurements,including 5 956 males and 6 537 females,with a mean age of (41.15± 9.86) years.After 100 days of walking intervention,participants showed reductions in outcomes related to overweight or obesity.BMI and waist circumference decreased by 0.23 kg/m² and 1.95 cm with each increase of 1 000 steps per day,and the risk of developing obesity decreased by 4.20% of that before the intervention.Compared to the intensive walking rate non-100% group,BMI and waist circumference of the group with 100% intensive walking decreased by 0.19 kg/m² and 0.32 cm,and the risk of developing obesity decreased by 38.80%.Compared with the non-100% group,BMI and waist circumference of the group that completed 100% exercise prescription decreased by 0.19 kg/m² and 0.26 cm,and the risk of developing toward overweight and obesity decreased by 16.70% and 24.30%,respectively.The BMI and waist circumference of the continuous ten thousand steps for 100 days group decreased by 0.11 kg/m² and 0.37 cm than those of the ten thousand consecutive steps less than 100 days group,and the risk of developing obesity decreased by 25.20%. Conclusion Walking intervention can reduce BMI and waist circumference of occupational population,improve overweight,obesity and central obesity,and has a positive effect on the prevention of chronic non-communicable diseases.
