Background Overweight and obesity have become major public health concerns worldwide. Persistent stress can activate the human hypothalamic‒pituitary‒adrenal axis (HPA) and increase the intake of “self-rewarding food”, thereby raising the incidence of obesity. Health care workers (HCWs) experience higher workloads and mental stress than workers in many other industries, which may put them at increased risk for overweight/obesity. However, few studies have been carried out on overweight and obesity among HCWs in China, and the overall scenario and behind-the-scenes factors of their overweight and obesity are unknown. The aim of this study is to understand the epidemic of overweight and obesity and risk factors among Chinese HCWs. Methods Based on a cross-sectional web survey design, 23,234 HCWs from 100 health institutions in 5 provinces/autonomous regions/municipalities across China were sampled to answer a self-administered questionnaire that was purposely developed using a multi-staged clustered random-sampling method. Chi-square test and ANOVA were performed to compare variables between two or more groups. Univariate analyses were conducted to identify the influence of self-reported persistent stress and/or recurrent anxiety/depressed mood on lifestyle behaviors. A multivariate binary logistic regression model was used to analyse the risk factors of overweight/obesity. Results Among the respondents, 34.26% were overweight, and 11.22% were obese. Most of the respondents had regular exercise habits (68.17%), had habitually stayed-up late (65.06%) and had been affected by persistent stress and/or recurrent anxiety/depressed mood (62.04%). A higher proportion of those with persistent stress and/or recurrent anxiety/depressed mood than those without habitually staying-up late (76.18%); consumed take-out food (54.92%), fried food (49.93%), snacks or desserts (50.51%); drank sugary drinks (46.57%); smoked (14.27%); and drank alcohol (23.34%). Gender (Female) (OR: 0.314, 95%CI: 0.292–0.336), age (OR: 1.742–2.334, 95%CI: 1.544–2.858), education (OR: 0.620–0.728, 95%CI: 0.445–0.973), living and working area (OR: 1.271, 95%CI: 1.192–1.355), breakfast (OR: 0.898, 95%CI: 0.839–0.960), fried food (OR: 1.133, 95%CI: 1.048–1.224), and alcohol consumption (OR: 1.111, 95%CI: 1.017–1.214) were factors for overweight/obesity. All of the aforementioned results were significant ( P < 0.05). Conclusions The overweight/obesity rate of Chinese HCWs is rather high, which might be directly associated with lifestyle behaviors. However, these behaviors fundamentally originated from persistent stress and/or recurrent anxiety/depression, mediated by lifestyle behaviors. Substantial measures should be taken for stress reduction and mental health promotion for overweight/obesity prevention and control among HCWs.
ObjectiveTo explore the status and influencing factors of public health safety literacy (PHSL) among residents in four provinces of China for providing references to the development of appropriate intervention strategies. MethodsWe recruited 2 809 urban and rural residents aged 15 – 69 years in three provinces (Hubei, Guangdong and Sichuan) and Beijing municipality using stratified multistage cluster sampling and conducted an on-site self-administered electronic questionnaire survey among the residents during April – June, 2021. A scale with three domains (each with a maximum score of 40) was designed to assess the PHSL of the residents. T-test, one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA), and χ2 test were adopted in univariate analysis and logistic regression in multivariate analysis. Results For all the participants, the mean overall PHSL score was 81.61 ± 13.71 and the mean domain scores were 29.21 ± 5.89 for PHS perception, 25.10 ± 5.10 for PHS knowledge, and 27.30 ± 4.87 for PHS skills. There were 80.85% of the participants being assessed with basic PHSL (with the overall scale score of ≥ 72) and there were 86.69%, 61.05%, and 78.96% of the participants being assessed with basic PHS perception, knowledge, and skills (with the domain scores of ≥ 24); also based on the scale of overall score of ≥ 96 and domain scores of ≥ 32, the proportion of the participants with good PHSL was 15.70% and the proportions of participants with good PHS perception, knowledge and skills were 35.32%, 14.03% and 20.15%, respectively. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that PHSL was associated with residential region, sex, education and household income. The participants residing in Hubei, Sichuan, and Guangdong province were less likely to have basic/good PHSL, with the odds ratios (OR) of 0.485/0.422, 0.488/0.699, and 0.389/0.566 in contrast to those residing in Beijing municipality. The participants being female (versus male: OR = 1.336/1.283), with the education of higher than primary school education or below (junior high school: OR = 1.786/1.205; senior high or vocational or technical secondary school: OR = 2.204/2.013; college and above: OR = 2.932/3.710), with the annual household income of more than 30 000 RMB yuan (30 000 – 60 000: OR = 1.660/1.648; ≥ 120 000: OR = 1.865/2.145) were more likely to have basic/good PHSL. ConclusionFor 15 – 69 years old residents in four provincial administrative regions of China, the PHSL still needs to be improved and the residents′ PHSL is influenced mainly by gender, education, annual household income and residential region.

AbstractBackgroundChina’s emergency management of severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) was heavily criticized, whereas the H7N9 response was praised by the international community.AimsThe aims of this study were to examine and compare the strengths and weaknesses of risk communication conducted in response to SARS and H7N9 and their associated social impacts on affected communities in China.MethodA qualitative comparative case study approach was employed in the present study, using a set of 8 risk communication principles selected from international literature to suit the Chinese context for the comparative analysis of emergency responses of SARS and H7N9.ResultsThe study found significant differences in the risk communication conducted in the 2 cases. The SARS outbreak fully exposed China’s lack of experience in public health risk communication. By contrast, the Chinese government’s risk communication strategies had improved significantly during the H7N9 outbreak.DiscussionTrust is the basis for communication. Maintaining an open and honest attitude and actively engaging stakeholders to address their risk information needs will serve to build trust and facilitate multi-sector collaborations in dealing with a public health crisis.ConclusionsFrom SARS to H7N9, risk communication practices in China greatly improved, which, in turn, lessened adverse social impacts and improved outcomes in emergency management of public health crises.
