AbstractObjectiveTo explore the prevalence of diabetes mellitus in rural areas of central Hunan province, and to analyze the risk factors related to diabetes mellitus (DM).MethodsA cross-sectional study was conducted by using questionnaires (gender, age, occupation, degree of education, exercise habits, smoke status, alcohol consumption, hypertension, cardiovascular disease, family history of diabetes), anthropometric measurements (height, weight, waist circumference, blood pressure) and biochemical indexes test (fasting blood-glucose, glycosylated hemoglobin, blood lipids). Villagers over 40 years old from a community in rural areas of central Hunan Province were investigated.ResultsA total of 410 clinical data were collected. The prevalence of diabetes mellitus in 410 (177 in male and 233 in female) villagers was 13.41%, including 13 males with a prevalence rate of 7.34% and 42 females with a prevalence rate of 15.16%. The prevalence of impaired fasting glucose (IFG) was 11.95%, 21 males (11.86% of males) and 28 females (10.11% of females). And the results of glycosylated hemoglobin test showed that 64% villagers with diabetes mellitus had hemoglobin A1c(HbA1c) above 6.5%. Univariate analysis suggested that gender, smoke status, alcohol consumption, family history of diabetes mellitus, hypercholesterolemia and hypertension were involved in diabetes mellitus (P<0.05). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that family history of diabetes (OR: 1.759; 95% CI: 1.010-3.065), hypercholesterolemia (OR: 3.819; 95% CI: 1.27-11.486) and hypertension (OR: 2.074; 95% CI: 1.130-3.809) were independent risk factors for diabetes mellitus, and the differences were statistically significant (P < 0.05).ConclusionThe prevalence of diabetes mellitus in rural areas of central Hunan Province is higher. Family history of diabetes, hypercholesterolemia and hypertension are major risk factors for diabetes mellitus. The knowledge of diabetes should be strengthened. Related interventions should be given based on the diabetes epidemic status of local.

Objectives. To compare the differences of epidemiology analysis in population birth defects (BDs) between the rural and urban areas of Hunan Province in China. Methods. The data of population-based BDs in Liuyang county (rural) and Shifeng district (urban) in Hunan Province for 2014–2018 were analyzed. BD prevalence rates, percentage change, and annual percentage change (APC) by sex and age were calculated to evaluate time trends. Risk factors associated with BDs were assessed using simple and multiple logistic regression analyses. Results. The BD prevalence rate per 10,000 perinatal infants (PIs) was 220.54 (95% CI: 211.26-230.13) in Liuyang and 181.14 (95% CI: 161.18-202.87) in Shifeng. Significant decreasing trends in BD prevalence rates were noted in the female PIs ( APC = − 9.31 , P = 0.044 ) and the total BD prevalence rate in Shifeng ( APC = − 14.14 , P = 0.039 ). Risk factors for BDs were as follows: rural area, male PIs, PIs with gestational age < 37 weeks, PIs with birth weight < 2500   g , and migrant pregnancies. Conclusions. We should focus on rural areas, reduce the prevalence of premature and low birth weight infants, and provide maternal healthcare services for migrant pregnancies for BD prevention from the perspective of population-based BD surveillance.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the seroprevalence, risk factors and zoonotic threats of the major abortive bacterial agents in sheep of M’Sila Governorate. A total of 184 serum samples were collected from ewes among 16 sheep flocks and tested for Coxiella burnetti, Chlamydia abortus, Brucella spp. and Salmonella abortusovis via ELISA. Simultaneously, a questionnaire was used to collect breeding management data. Seropositive results were as follows : Coxiella burnetti (27.9%), Salmonella abortusovis (15.9%), Chlamydia abortus (10.9%) and Brucella spp. (3.8%).The use of univariate analysis and multivariate logistic regression showed a highly significant correlation between Coxiella burnetti seropositivity and presence of cats in farms (OR = 5.75; 95% CI = 1.86-19.9; p= 0.001), while promiscuity with newly introduced animals was associated to Chlamydia abortus seropositivity (OR=3.37; 95%CI=1.01-14.9; p= 0.04). Additionally to the economic losses, the dissemination of Coxiella burnetti and Brucella spp. presents uncontrollable zoonotic hazards.
