Abstract Background: Early detection of scoliosis is of great significance to patients with scoliosis and the whole society. This paper aims to learn the prevalence of scoliosis screening positive among students in primary and secondary schools, and to explore the influencing factors. Methods: In 2019, a stratified cluster sampling technique was employed in this school based cross-sectional study. Sampling covers all prefecture level cities in Zhejiang Province. Based on the whole class, at least 80 students in each grade of primary school, junior high school and senior high school were selected. Physical examination and scoliosis screening were performed in the school-based investigation. Distribution of demographic characteristics and nutritional status of children and adolescents with scoliosis screening positive were explored. Results: A total of 45547 students were screened. The overall prevalence of children and adolescents with scoliosis screening positive were 3.9%. Higher prevalence of scoliosis screening positive was found in students living in urban area (4.1%), female students (4.1%), students with low weight (5.3%) (p < 0.05), and the prevalence increased with age (p < 0.05). In logistic analysis, we found age (OR=1.145), gender (OR=1.118) and low weight (OR=1.480) were the influencing factors for prevalence of scoliosis screening positive (p < 0.05). Conclusions: There were no disparities between living areas, but there was significant difference between genders, among different ages, and among different nutritional status of children and adolescents with or without scoliosis screening positive. In multi analysis, age, gender, and low weight were the influencing factors for prevalence of scoliosis screening positive. Age and gender specific scoliosis screening strategy and nutritional public health policies for children and adolescent are need.

Abstract To investigate the prevalence and possible determinants of sleep quality and quantity, we used data from a cross-sectional study conducted in 2019 on a sample of 3120 subjects, representative of the general Italian adult population. Sleep dissatisfaction was reported by 14.2% and insufficient sleep (duration) by 29.5% of adults. Sleep dissatisfaction and insufficient sleep were directly related with age (p for trend < 0.001), and inversely related with socioeconomic class (p for trend < 0.001) and income (p for trend < 0.001). Sleep dissatisfaction was higher among women (odds ratio, OR 1.30; 95% confidence interval, CI 1.05–1.60). Insufficient sleep was inversely related to education (p for trend < 0.001) and more frequent in current compared to never smokers (OR 1.32; 95% CI 1.08–1.61). Sleep dissatisfaction was higher among divorced/separated compared with married subjects (OR 1.75; 95% CI 1.20–2.58) and lower among subjects living with children aged 0–14 years (OR 0.48, 95% CI 0.33–0.70). Pet owners more frequently had sleep dissatisfaction (OR 1.35, 95% CI 1.08–1.68) and insufficient sleep (OR 1.46, 95% CI 1.23–1.73). In Italy, self-perceived sleep problems appear to be increasing. Sleep problems can contribute to aggravating health disparities in the society. The unfavourable relationship with pets (and the favourable ones with children) should be confirmed by longitudinal studies.

Abstract Purpose: The aim of this cross-sectional study was to assess the association between sleep status and myopia in children and adolescents.Methods: Stratified cluster sampling a total of 30,188 schoolchildren from 14 schools located in 6 streets (Xinxiang, Songgang, Shiyan, Fuyong, Shajing and Xinan) of Baoan District in Shenzhen, China. The demographic characteristics of schoolchildren, information of self-reported myopia and their sleep status in the last 1 month were collected through using a standardized questionnaire. χ2-test was used to compare differences in myopia rates among children and adolescents in different sleep status. Logistic regression models were used to analyze the association of sleep status with myopia in children and adolescents.Results: The self-reported myopia rates was 49.8% among children and adolescents in Shenzhen. In primary, junior high and senior high students, the myopia rates were 25.6%, 62.4%, and 75.7%, respectively. After controlling for confounders, the results of multiple logistic analysis showed that night sleep duration < 7h/d (OR = 2.02, 95%CI: 1.87-2.19), falling asleep at a fixed time (no) (OR = 1.14, 95%CI: 1.08-1.20), getting up at a fixed time in the morning (no) (OR = 1.28, 95%CI: 1.19-1.37), putting off sleeping on weekends ≥ 2 h/d (OR = 1.28, 95%CI: 1.17-1.41) and Putting off getting up on weekends ≥ 2 h/d were risk factors (OR = 1.23, 95%CI: 1.13-1.34). After stratified by grade, social jet lag was not associated with myopia among senior high students.Conclusion: Insufficient sleep duration was positively associated with self-reported myopia, irregular patterns of sleep and social jet lag increased the risk of myopia among schoolchildren. Myopia prevention and control among children and adolescents should not only ensure adequate sleep, but also develop a habit of regular sleep.

AbstractObjectivesTo compare self-perceived global self-esteem (GSE) and physical self-esteem (PSE) among children and adolescents aged 11 and 14 years in Southeastern Sweden, investigated in 2000 and 2017.MethodsThe present study consists of two independent cross-sectional study-cohorts from Southeastern Sweden, investigated in 2000 and 2017. The same protocol, procedures, and instruments were used in 2000 and 2017. In October 2000, data for self-perceived GSE and PSE, and anthropometry were collected from 11-years old children (Grade 5) (n=74) and 14-years old adolescents (Grade 8) (n=84). In October 2017, children (n=186) and adolescents (n=140) from the same grade-levels, schools and classrooms provided data for the same variables as in 2000. GSE and PSE were assessed with the Children and Youth Physical Self-Perception Profile (CY-PSPP).ResultsSelf-perceived GSE was higher in 2017 as compared to 2000 among both 11-years old boys (p<0.001) and girls (p<0.001) and 14-years old boys (p=0.008) and girls (p<0.001). Similarly, self-perceived PSE was higher in 2017 as compared to 2000 among both 11-years old boys (p<0.001) and girls (p=0.023) and 14-years old boys (p=0.025) and girls (p=0.002).ConclusionsSelf-perceived GSE and PSE among children and adolescents aged 11 and 14 years in Southeastern Sweden were higher in 2017 as compared to 2000. These results are not in agreement with the increased psychological ill-health as being reported among children and adolescents during the last decade in Sweden.
