Abstract:
In rescent years, schools are confronting continued mental health needs of children and adolescents. The person-centered school mental health service model is impossible to meet current and future increasingly public health problems. Under the framework of the "whole School, whole Community, whole Child" (WSCC) theory and the concept of health promoting schools proposed by the World Health Organization, the editorial proposes to integrate universal mental health services into essential public health services in school, as well as to build a digital school mental health service platform to enable new opportunities for universal mental health services in schools.

Abstract:
Speed is an important component of physical fitness testing for students around the world. On the whole, the different testing systems usually set up various indexes based on the moving speed, action speed and reaction speed; the indexes are diverse but uniform in number; there are differences in the age of application of the indexes and no gender differences. As far as the classification of indexes is concerned, there are two types of movement: sprinting and shuttle-run, for the moving speed test indexes; there are differences in the need for action speed and reaction speed tests. Based on this, from the perspective of energy metabolism and health benefits, the properties and testing methods for measuring moving speed and the need for action speed and reaction speed testing are analyzed. The study shows that acceleration capability should be a measured attribute of moving speed, the 30 m running can be used as a general index of moving speed for all students; the shuttle-run is not suitable as an index of moving speed; action speed is less correlated with physical health, so it should not be included in the testing system for the time being; and reaction speed which closely relates to physical health, should be included in the testing system.

Abstract:
Mental disorders represent 45% of the global disease burden among children and adolescents aged 10-24 years old. It is crucial to develop effective interventions that can be integrated into daily school activities in order to provide convenient and accessible mental health services for students and faculty members. The study conducts a randomized controlled trial to examine universal mental health promotion among children. The current protocol aims to develop a universal resilience-focused program, which focuses on emotional regulation, coping, and problem-solving. A total of 20 classes from two primary schools in grades 4-5 in Anhui, Tianchang were randomly assigned to either the intervention or waitlist group. This training consisted of 14 weekly 40-minute sessions of manualized interventions that were compatible with regular curricular activities. It is expected that this current intervention will enhance the psychological resilience of children and evaluate the effectiveness of promoting mental health among children followed up on indicators of depressive and anxiety symptoms, psychological resilience, oppositional defiant and conduct problems by questionnaires at baseline and after the intervention.

Abstract:
  Objective  To examine the exposure to television advertising of unhealthy food among children and adolescents in Beijing, in order to provide a basis for the formulation of marketing management policies with unhealthy food.  Methods  Four weekdays and four weekend days were randomly selected during October 19, 2020 to January 17, 2021, excluding holidays and school holidays. The top five popular channels of children and adolescents aged 3 to 18 years old were selected. A total of 720 hours was included for coding and analysis. World Health Organization Nutrient Profile Model for the Western Pacific Region was used to classify food and assess the health level.  Results  A total of 13 864 advertisings (ads) was monitored, 38.8% (5 376) of which were food ads. Furthermore, 49.9% (2 680) of food ads were unhealthy food ads, with a frequency of 2.00 per hour per channel. The top five most frequent food ads were infant formula for 12-36 months (26.7%), cheese (16.7%), savory snacks (12.2%), milk drinks (10.5%) and chocolate and candy (6.0%). The most frequently used marketing strategies for unhealthy food ads were brand benefit claims (96.8%) and promotional characters (67.9%).  Conclusion  Children and adolescents in Beijing are highly exposed to TV marketing of unhealthy foods. Marketing strategies such as brand benefit claims and promotional characters are employed to boost the impact of unhealthy food ads. There is an urgent need to introduce relevant policies to regulate TV marketing of unhealthy foods.

Abstract:
  Objective  To evaluate diet quality and related problems among children and adolescents in Yunnan Province, in order to provide a theoretical basis for the formulation of targeted dietary interventions for children and adolescents in this region.  Methods  Using a stratified random sampling method, 1 078 primary and secondary school students from six prefecture-level cities in Yunnan Province were selected from August to November 2022. Dietary quality was evaluated by applying the China Children's Dietary Index (CCDI-2016) on the basis of a 3 d 24 h dietary survey.  Results  The total dietary index score of children and adolescents in Yunnan Province was 62.63(54.57, 71.19). The overall recommended intakes were largely achieved by consumption of cereals, eggs and sugary drinks, with dietary index scores of 9.91(8.24, 10.00), 5.58(0, 8.58) and 9.20(7.38, 10.00), respectively; there were inadequate intakes of vegetables, legumes, water, vitamin A and dietary fiber, with scores of 5.63(4.09, 7.59), 3.48(0, 9.70), 4.23(2.67, 5.50), 2.33(1.56, 3.53), 3.19(1.63, 5.67), respectively; intake of fruits, dairy and aquatic products were severely deficient, with scores of 0(0, 1.74), 0(0, 2.37), 0(0, 9.85), respectively; excessive intake of meat was found, with a dietary index score of 0(0, 2.46). The stratified analysis showed that children and adolescents aged 11-13 years had the highest total dietary scores[65.35(54.29, 72.03)], followed by those aged 7-10 years[63.46(56.19, 72.63)], while the 14-17 year-old age-group had the lowest scores[59.07(51.15, 68.30), H=32.23, P < 0.01]. Girls had higher total dietary scores than that of boys[64.20(56.12, 72.56), 59.32(52.60, 69.72), Z=-5.16, P < 0.01], while urban children and adolescents had higher total dietary scores than rural children and adolescents[65.30(54.84, 73.62), 62.17(54.31, 70.70), Z=-2.11, P < 0.05]. Furthermore, higher total dietary index scores were observed among children and adolescents whose parents had a higher educational level(H=27.68, 22.58, P < 0.01). The comparison of ethnic groups revealed that the Wa children and adolescents had the highest total dietary index scores, while the Hani children had the lowest(H=27.51, P < 0.01).  Conclusion  The overall dietary quality of children and adolescents in Yunnan Province is not high, the imbalance of dietary nutrition is prominent, and the dietary structure needs to be adjusted and optimized. Intervention programs should focus on the problem of insufficient intake of fruits and vegetables, milk and legumes, aquatic products and excessive intake of poultry meat among children and adolescents.

Abstract:
  Objective  The study aimed to investigate the relationship between academic stress and extracurricular physical exercise among college students, with the goal of providing evidence and reference for effectively alleviating academic stress.  Methods  A stratified cluster random sampling method was employed, along with the Chinese College Student Psychological Health Screening Scale and a self-designed questionnaire. In January 2023, an online survey was conducted among 1 108 college students from eight colleges and universities in Jiangsu Province. Statistical analyses included independent samples t-test, one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) and the optimal scale regression model.  Results  It revealed that 50.8% of students worried about falling behind their peers in their studies, 51.7% expressed concerns about exams, 21.7% exerted significant effort but still struggled to keep up with the pace of learning, and 24.9% felt difficulties in their studies. The overall index of academic stress was higher among undergraduate institutions, first-year students, female students, and urban residents (t/F=3.66, 10.96, -5.46, 3.52, P < 0.01). The average time of weekly extracurricular physical exercise for students was (2.35±2.18)h, and there were significant differences by gender, only-child status, and grade groups(t/F=2.35, 4.66, 7.09, P < 0.05). The optimal scale regression model analysis (R2=0.17, F=32.03, P < 0.01) revealed that the regression coefficient and partial correlation coefficient between academic stress and extracurricular physical exercise time were both -0.33(P < 0.01). The importance of extracurricular physical exercise in the model was 0.66, with a tolerance value of 0.97. The regression coefficients and partial correlation coefficients for academic stress and extracurricular physical exercise time were -0.35, -0.35 for undergraduate students, and -0.31, -0.32 for junior college students (P < 0.01).  Conclusion  A significant number of college students experience varying degrees of academic stress, and their engagement in extracurricular physical exercise is insufficient. There is a negative association between academic stress and extracurricular physical activity time among college students. Universities should encourage students to increase extracurricular physical activity time to reduce academic stress and promote college students' mental health.

Abstract:
  Objective  To analyze the situation and associated factors of school lunch leftovers of primary and middle school students in Ningbo, so as to provide a basis for formulating policies to improve the quality of nutritious meals and reduce the leftover meal rates.  Methods  During March to May of 2022, 20 primary and middle schools were selected from 10 districts in Ningbo, and 4 443 students were selected from grade 4 to 6 of primary school and grade 1 to 3 of middle school. A questionnaire was conducted among them for the students' general situation and remaining meal situation.  Results  The total leftover rate was 62.4%, 7.9% of the students left rice every day, and 18.3% of the students left vegetables every day. The frequency of primary school students' leftover food was lower than that of junior high school students (χ2=-2.18, P < 0.05). Most of the students (68.3%) had only a little leftover food, half of the students (49.4%) had less than half leftovers, and the proportion of primary school students with large leftover food and leftovers was smaller than that of junior high school students (χ2=-2.05, -2.36, P < 0.05). The main reason for students' leftover food was "too much to eat" (accounting for 30.6%), and there was a statistical difference between primary school students and junior high school students in the composition of leftover food and leftovers (χ2=16.94, 14.28, P < 0.05). The leftover rate of vegetables was the highest (54.5%) and the leftover rate of milk was the lowest (2.5%). Multivariate Logistic regression model showed that nutrition and food-related courses during recent year, being aware the Chinese residents dietary guidelines, statisfaction with canteen food (general, more satisfied, very satisfied), reckoning school canteen food better than home food (almost, better than home) were less possibility to have leftover meals (OR=0.79, 0.73, 0.57, 0.41, 0.26, 0.69, 0.82, P < 0.05). Students chosed the meal after the teacher served the meal, the teacher divided meals and students who ate more frequently (4-6 times/week, 1 time/d, 2 times/d, ≥3 times/d) were more likely to have leftover meals (OR=1.64, 2.23, 1.27, 1.21, 1.52, 1.44, P < 0.05).  Conclusion  More than half of the students have leftovers. It should optimize the configuration of nutrition lunch, strengthen the education of nutrition knowledge and reduce the leftovers rate.

Abstract:
  Objective  To study the role of rs12145833 polymorphism of SDCCAG8 gene in the intervention of childhood obesity, so as to provide scientific basis for formulating personalized intervention measures based on genetic background in children with obesity.  Methods  From September 2018 to June 2019, a total of 393 children aged 8-10 years in Beijing were enrolled in a cluster randomized controlled trial. Eight schools were randomly allocated into intervention group and control group at a ratio of 1∶1. Saliva DNA samples were collected to detect rs12145833 polymorphism of SDCCAG8 gene. The intervention group received a comprehensive intervention, while the control group received usual practice. Intervention measures included diet improvement, sports, school amd family sport. The obesity related indicators were measured at baseline and after the end of intervention 1 academic year. Multiple linear regression and Logistic regression were used to analyze the interaction between genes and intervention on obesity indicators.  Results  In the intervention group, children with TT genotype of rs12145833 of the SDCCAG8 gene had less increase in systolic(β=4.56, 95%CI=1.84-7.28, P < 0.01) and diastolic blood pressure(β=2.59, 95%CI=0.45-4.73, P < 0.05) than those with GT and GG genotypes. In the control group, the systolic blood pressure of children with TT genotype increased more than those with GT and GG genotype(β=-2.86, 95%CI=-5.63--0.83, P < 0.05). There was an interaction between rs12145833 polymorphism of SDCCAG8 gene and intervention on systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure and body fat percentage in children(P < 0.05).  Conclusion  Children with TT genotype of rs12145833 in the SDCCAG8 gene are more sensitive to obesity intervention than those with GG and GT genotypes, especially in the improvement of systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure and body fat percentage. Further trials to study the role of rs12145833 polymorphism of SDCCAG8 gene in the intervention of childhood obesity among different ethnic populations are needed.

Abstract:
  Objective  To investigate the impact of COVID-19 infection and health-related behaviors on the health-related quality of life of children and adolescents aged 8-15 years in Nanjing, so as to provide a theoretical basis for improving HRQoL in children and adolescents.  Methods  From December 2022 to January 2023, a total of 2 398 students aged 8-15 years from the third grade of primary school to junior middle school in Nanjing were selected by multistage random cluster sampling. The 3-level EuroQol 5-dimension Questionnaire Youth Vension (EQ-5D-Y-3L) was completed by the respondents on their own, and the parents assisted in completing the rest of the questionnaire.  Results  The EuroQol-index(EQ-index) and Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) scores of being infected individuals were lower than those of uninfected and previously infected (P < 0.05). The proportion of being infected individuals reporting difficulty on "Pain/Discomfort" was higher than that of uninfected and previously infected individuals, and the proportion of reporting difficulty on "Mobility" was also higher than that of uninfected individuals (P < 0.05). Lack of parental companionship(OR=10.19, 95%CI=3.12-33.22), irregular breakfast consumption (OR=10.63, 95%CI=3.20-35.25), and excessive screen time (OR=8.24, 95%CI=3.02-22.51) increased the risk of difficulty on "Mobility" in being infected individuals (P < 0.05). Irregular breakfast consumption (OR=1.93, 95%CI=1.31-2.84) and consumption of sweetened beverages and snacks (OR=1.56, 95%CI=1.17-2.10) increased the risk of having lower EQ-index in previously infected individuals compared to uninfected individuals. Furthermore, consumption of sweetened beverages and snacks (OR=1.57, 95%CI=1.21-2.05) and excessive screen time (OR=1.49, 95%CI=1.12-1.98) also increased the risk of VAS scores being lower in previously infected individuals compared to uninfected individuals (P < 0.05).  Conclusion  The COVID-19 infection impairs HRQoL, and unhealthy behaviors deteriorate its negative impact. Healthy behaviors and lifestyles should be advocated to reduce the impact of COVID-19 infection on HRQoL.

Abstract(227) HTML (96) PDF(59)
Abstract:
  Objective  To investigate oral health-related life quality and associated factors of senior primary school students in Bengbu City, so as to provide scientific basis for targeted oral health education for children.  Methods  A stratified cluster random sampling method was adopted to select 1 760 senior students (grade 5 to 6) from 12 primary schools in 4 districts of Bengbu City from September to November 2022. A cross-sectional survey was conducted on the oral health of students through questionnaires related to oral health. The effect of oral problems on quality of life was assessed by the Child Daily Life Oral Influence Scale (Child-OIDP). Chi-square test, non-parametric test and binary Logistic regression model were used to analyze the influencing factors of oral health-related quality of life in senior primary school students.  Results  The prevalence of oral problems affecting the quality of daily life was 70.00%, and the severe impact rate was 15.06%. Oral feeding was the most affected (57.95%). The Child-OIDP score was (7.49±8.57). Binary Logistic regression analysis showed that mother's education level, self-rated teeth and oral conditions, bruised tooth, toothache in the past year, and gingival bleeding in the past 2 weeks were significantly associated with the incidence of Child-OIDP (OR=1.86-5.00, P < 0.05).  Conclusion  It is common that oral problems affect the quality of daily life of senior primary school students in Bengbu. Families and schools should strengthen oral health knowledge education and behavior guidance, so as to reduce the impact of oral problems on daily life among senior primary school students.

Abstract(284) HTML (103) PDF(36)
Abstract:
  Objective  To investigate current situation and influencing factors of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) knowledge, attitude, and practices among college students in Guizhou Province, and to provide evidence for improving CPR knowledge, attitude, and practice among college students.  Methods  From February to June 2022, snowball sampling and purposive sampling methods were used to select college teachers and students in Guizhou Province. A self-designed questionnaire was used to conduct an online survey on 1 199 college students.  Results  The average awareness rate of CPR knowledge among college students was 62.2%; the average qualification rates for CPR attitude and practice were 97.0% and 94.1% respectively. Positive correlations were found between knowledge and attitudes, knowledge and practices, as well as attitudes and practices (r=0.44, 0.37, 0.71, P < 0.05). Multiple linear regression analysis revealed that medical-related majors, and higher education levels (bachelor's, master's and above) were positively correlated with CPR knowledge among college students (B=7.83, 5.73, 8.09). Students from rural areas demonstrated a negative correlation with CPR attitudes (B=-0.90). The use of automated external defibrillators (AED), previous CPR experience on others were positively correlated with CPR knowledge (B=3.48, 3.64), and practices (B=0.45, 0.46) among college students. Participation in CPR training and academic performance (good, excellent) were positively correlated with CPR knowledge (B=13.78, 1.11, 3.96), attitudes (B=2.08, 0.66, 2.11), and practices (B=0.62, 0.33, 1.13) among college students (P < 0.05).  Conclusion  College students in Guizhou Province have positive attitude and practice towards CPR, but are lack of sufficient CPR knowledge. CPR training and high academic performance are positively correlated with CPR knowledge, attitude, and practice among college students.

Abstract:
  Objective  To understand the consistency and factors influencing rural parents' knowledge, attitude and practice about early childhood sex education, so as to put forward effective suggestions and countermeasures for improving childhood sex education in rural areas.  Methods  A multi-stage stratified sampling method was used to investigate the knowledge, attitude and practice of early childhood sex education among 1 015 parents in 16 kindergartens in rural areas of Sichuan from March to May 2019. Chi-square text and multivariate Logistic regression analysis were used to analyze factors affecting the consistency of parents' knowledge, attitude and practice of childhood sex education.  Results  Nearly 64.9%, 85.9% and 44.7% of parents with sufficient knowledge, support, and implement of early children's sex education, respectively, and the consistency rate of knowledge, attitude and practice were 30.2%. The results of the multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that parents aged < 31 years (OR=5.35, 95%CI=2.93-9.77), 31-40 years (OR=4.82, 95%CI=2.65-8.76) and 41-50 years (OR=2.37, 95%CI=1.10-5.11), and the mother's education level being middle school (OR=3.67, 95%CI=1.75-7.69), secondary/high school (OR=2.83, 95%CI=1.32-6.05) and college/bachelor's degree and above (OR=5.44, 95%CI=2.23-12.98), sex-related questions asked by child (OR=2.00, 95%CI=1.44-2.78), having sex education in the family (OR=5.38, 95% CI=3.82-7.59), believing that parents should be responsible for sex education for young children (OR=2.58, 95%CI=1.40-4.74) had a higher consistency rate of knowledge, attitude and practice in early childhood sex education (P < 0.05).  Conclusion  In rural areas of Sichuan, although parents highly support early childhood sex education, the eligible rate of knowledge and the implementing rate are quite low, as well as the consistent rate of knowledge, attitude and practice. Relevant departments should pay attention to strengthen publicity and education, especially among older parents, low-educated parents and those opposed to or not yet implementing child sex education.

Abstract:
  Objective  To understand vulnerability to psychological crisis among rural college students and its related factors, so as to provide reference for the prevention or intervention of psychological crisis among rural college students.  Methods  A total of 3 560 rural college students from grade one to grade three from five universities were selected using convenient cluster sampling method from January to September 2022 in Nanyang City. General information, vulnerability to psychological crisis, parenting style and Scale of Perceived Social Self-efficacy (PSSE) were collected and analyzed through questionnaire.  Results  Among the investigated rule college students, the score of psychological crisis vulnerability and spoiling dimension of parenting style were (10.76±3.46) points and (2.68±0.55) points, while the score of trust encouragement dimension of parenting style and PSSE were (2.52±0.62) points and (3.29±0.61) points. Pearson correlation analysis showed that vulnerability to psychological crisis of rural students was positively correlated with spoiling and neglect (r=0.32, 0.49), and was negatively correlated with trust encouragement, emotional warmth and PSSE (r=-0.38, -0.53, -0.51)(P < 0.05). Multiple linear regression analysis revealed that single-parent family or other families, poor students, left-behind experience, high score of spoiling and high score of neglect revealed high psychological crisis vulnerability (P < 0.05). High score of trust encouragement, high score of emotional warmth and PSSE were associated with low vulnerability to psychological crisis (P < 0.05).  Conclusion  Vulnerability to psychological crisis among rural college students is higher, which is related to the family structure, students whether they are poor, leftover experience, parenting style and PSSE. Mental health among rural college students should be promoted by strengthening communication with students' parents and cultivating students' social self-efficacy.

Abstract(233) HTML (110) PDF(29)
Abstract:
  Objective  To understand the symptoms of depression and anxiety among rural returning adolescents and to analyze their association with physical activity-related factors, so as to provide reference for interventions targeting depression and anxiety symtoms in the population.  Methods  From April to June 2020, 3 495 middle school students were selected from 6 counties and districts of Shangrao City by random cluster stratified sampling sampling. The Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9) and Generalized Anxiety Disorder-7 (GAD-7) were used to evaluate the depressive and anxiety symptoms among middle school students. The International Physical Activity Questionnaire was used to assess their physical activity levels during the past week. Chi-square test and Logistic regression analysis were used to determine the strength of the association between depression and anxiety symptoms and physical activity-related factors in returning and non-returning adolescents as well as the overall population.  Results  Univariate analysis showed significant differences in the prevalence of depressive and anxiety symptoms between rural returning and non-returning adolescents and the overall population in terms of "type of school" "family economic situation" "parental occupation" "number of sports classes per week" and "level of physical activity per week" (χ2=78.21, 16.56, 135.44, 107.75, 7.10, 8.62; 97.94, 24.26, 124.07, 90.36, 9.60, 8.34, P < 0.05). Multivariate regression analysis showed a correlation between the occurrence of depression and the number of sports classes per week for rural returning and non-returning adolescents and the overall population (number of sports classes per week for non-returning was 2 times, OR=1.22, 95%CI=1.01-1.49; returning adolescents for 1 time, OR=1.85, 95%CI=1.06-3.23; the overall population for 1 time, OR=1.34, 95%CI=1.01-1.77 and 2 times, OR=1.20, 95%CI=1.01-1.43, P < 0.05). There was a correlation between anxiety symptoms and the number of sports classes per week for returning adolescents (number of sports classes per week for returning adolescents was 1 time, OR=2.10, 95%CI=1.21-3.63, P < 0.05).  Conclusion  A low frequency of weekly sports classes may be a risk factor for depressive or anxiety symptoms in rural and returning adolescents. Rural primary and secondary schools should appropriately increase the number of physical education courses or arrange sports extended classes to promote the development of adolescent mental health.

According to the Fourth National Epidemiological Survey of Oral Health and World Health Organization standards, dental caries were examined and diagnosed. The Self-Rating Depression Scale (SDS), Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) Questionnaire and general situation questionnaire were adopted to investigate depressive symptoms and sleep quality of college students. Correlation analysis was performed to study the correlation between depression, sleep quality and dental caries.  Results  The prevalence of dental caries among college students was 42.1%, and there was a statistically significant difference in dental caries prevalence among college students depending on their gender, major, body shape, parental education level, and family sources (χ2=14.49, 16.81, 7.82, 15.14, 7.34, P < 0.05). The prevalence of depressive symptoms was 13.9%, and there was a statistically significant difference in SDS scores and depression prevalence among students of different body types (χ2=10.99, P < 0.05). The PSQI score was (4.36±0.94) points, and the rate of poor sleep quality was 26.16%. Furthermore, there was a statistically significant difference in the PSQI score and rate of poor sleep quality among college students of different genders and body types (χ2=25.41, 17.59, P < 0.05). There was a certain correlation between the occurrence of dental caries and poor sleep quality and depressive symptoms among college students, with contingency coefficients of 0.15 and 0.13, respectively (P < 0.05).  Conclusion  The prevalence of dental caries is high among college students in Chongqing. The occurrence of dental caries may be related to depression and sleep quality.

Abstract:
  Objective  To explore the effectiveness of the comprehensive intervention on prevention of deciduous primary caries in 3-year-old children, so as so provide reference for the prevention, health care and treatment of oral caries.  Methods  Three-year-old children selected by drawing lots from 10 public kindergartens in 5 districts of Bengbu were examined in 2021, and were randomly divided into intervention group (n=300) and control group (n=300). During the initial examination, caries loss (dmf) including dental caries, missing teeth, filling teeth were assessed in the two groups. At the initial examination, the intervention group received caries intervention while no intervention was administered in the non-intervention group until half a year later. Intervention measures included education, diet, self-cleaning and fluoride application intervention. The number of cases and the mean of caries loss in the two groups were compared by χ2 test.  Results  Before the intervention, 43 children in the control group suffered from caries, with 88 dmf, including 44 dmf for boys and 44 dmf for girls. There were 45 children in the intervention group, with 101 dmf, including 49 dmf for boys and 52 dmf for girls. There was no significant difference in the number of dmf between the intervention group and the control group (χ2=0.91, P>0.05), and there was no significant difference in the prevalence rate (15.0%, 14.3%, χ2=0.05, P>0.05). After the intervention, there were 26 new dental caries and 43 dmf in intervention group, including 25 dmf for boys and 18 dmf for girls. In the control group, there were 83 new dental caries and 168 dmf, including 72 dmf for boys and 96 dmf for girls. Compared with the control group, the new dmf in the intervention group was significantly different (χ2=75.38, P < 0.05). The number of new dental caries patients in the intervention group was significantly different from that in the control group (χ2=36.42, P < 0.05).  Conclusion  Comprehensive interventions to prevent dental caries can significantly reduce the incidence of primary teeth caries in children. It is suggested to intervene dental caries as early as possible to reduce the incidence of dental caries and other oral diseases.

Abstract:
  Objective  To analyze the disease burden and trend of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in China from 1990 to 2019, so as to provide the basic theoretical basis for the health administrative departments to formulate policies.  Methods  Using the 2019 Global Burden of Disease Database, the incidence, prevalence and disability adjusted life year (DALY) rates of ADHD were analyzed for both sex and different age groups, and the trends of ADHD were predicted.  Results  In 2019, the incidence, prevalence and DALY rate of ADHD in China were 70.41/100 000, 1 546.15/100 000 and 18.87/100 000 respectively. Compared with 1990, the rates decreased by 27.30%, 25.35% and 55.80% respectively, and these rates of females were lower than those of males. In 2019, the incidence rate of ADHD was the highest in the age group 5-9 years old (837.76/100 000), while the highest prevalence and DALY rates were found in ages groups of 10-14 years old (5 740.47/100 000 and 70.49/100 000). The results of the Joinpoint regression model showed that the incidence, prevalence and DALY rate had a downward trend from 1990 to 2019. The AAPC was -1.35%, -1.16% and -1.16%, respectively, with a statistically significant difference (P < 0.05). The prediction results of grey prediction model GM (1, 1) indicated that the incidence and prevalence rate of ADHD in China would decline from 2020 to 2030.  Conclusion  The burden of ADHD in China showed a decreasing trend from 1990 to 2019, indicating that the prevention and treatment effect of ADHD in children and adolescents of China was effective. China should take active preventive measures to reduce the burden of ADHD in children and adolescents.
