ObjectivesTo investigate the prevalence of hyperuricaemia among the oldest-old persons in Chengdu and identify associated factors to provide information on achieving healthy ageing in China.DesignA community-based cross-sectional study.SettingJinjiang, Qingyang, Longquanyi locating in the southeast, the northwest and the east of Chengdu, respectively, were chosen as the study sites.ParticipantsA representative sample of 1391 people aged over 80 years were enrolled from September 2015 to June 2016, and 106 participants were excluded due to missing information. Thus, a total of 1285 participants were analysed in this study.Outcome measuresHyperuricaemia was defined as serum uric acid >420 µmol/L in men or serum uric acid >360 µmol/L in women. A univariable logistic regression model and a multivariable logistic regression model were used to estimate the ORs and 95% CI to explore the associated risk factors of hyperuricaemia.ResultsThe overall prevalence of hyperuricaemia among the oldest-old was 29.6%. There was no significant sex difference in the prevalence of hyperuricaemia, 29.1% in men vs 30.0% in women (p>0.05). Hyperlipidaemia and overweight were associated with the risk of hyperuricaemia both in men (OR 1.86; 95% CI 1.27 to 2.72; OR 2.44; 95% CI 1.42 to 4.19) and in women (OR 1.78; 95% CI 1.23 to 2.58; OR 2.95; 95% CI 1.89 to 4.61). Additionally, diabetes mellitus was associated with an increased prevalence of hyperuricaemia only in women (OR 1.99; 95% CI: 1.34 to 2.97).ConclusionThe burden of hyperuricaemia is substantial among the oldest-old population in the urban areas of Chengdu, China.

Abstract Background Adolescent pregnancy is a risk factor for suicide. We aimed to assess the prevalence of suicide attempts among young women with adolescent pregnancy in Bangladesh and to explore its associated factors. Methods In this cross-sectional study, we surveyed young women with adolescent pregnancy in urban and rural areas in Bangladesh to assess suicide attempts, socio-demographic and pregnancy-related characteristics, perceived health status, and perceived social support. Binary logistic regression analysis was conducted to explore the relationship between potentially related factors and suicide attempts. Results Of the participants, 6.5% (61/940) reported suicide attempts in the past 12 months, and the majority (88.5%) of the attempts happened within one year after the pregnancy. Participants with more years after first pregnancy (odds ratio (OR) = 0.47, 95% CI: 0.37–0.61) and more perceived social support from friends (OR = 0.69, 95% CI: 0.55–0.86) were less likely to have suicide attempts, and those perceived bad health status compared with good/fair health status (OR = 8.38, 95% CI: 3.08–22.76) were more likely to attempt suicide. Conclusions Women with adolescent pregnancy were at high risk of suicide attempts, especially those during the first postnatal year. The risk of suicide attempts attenuated with the time after pregnancy, and perceived social support from friends was a protective factor and perceived bad health status was a risk factor for suicide attempts among young women who have experienced adolescent pregnancy.

ObjectiveThe study aimed to assess the prevalence of stunting, wasting, underweight and associated factors in orphaned children under 5 years old.DesignA cross-sectional study.SettingGambella City, Ethiopia.ParticipantsA sample of 419 under 5 orphaned children included in the study. Eligible households with orphans had selected using a systematic random sampling method. The lottery method was used when more than one eligible study participants live in the household. An OR with 95% CI was performed to measure the strength of association between each dependent variable and independent variables. Variables with p<0.05 were declared statistically significant.Primary outcomeThe main outcome of this study was the prevalence of undernutrition among orphaned under 5 and its associated factors.ResultsPrevalence of stunting, wasting and underweight in orphan children under 5 were 12.2%, 37.8% and 21.7%, respectively. The prevalnce of wasting peaks among age group of 36–47 months (42.5%), whereas underweight peaks in 48–59 months (27.7%). Food insecurity, wealth index, family size, vitamin A supplementation, diarrhoea, fever 2 weeks before the survey, children under 5 and parents’ death were associated with undernutrition.ConclusionThe prevalence of stunting, wasting and underweight among orphan children under 5 was significantly high. Multisectoral collaborative efforts towards access to health services, improving income-generating activities, micronutrient supplementation and social support and protection targeting orphan and vulnerable populations have to be built up.
