“…In presurvey investigations, interviewers and survey assistants investigated the number of households, population and people who were likely to have disability in all sampling communities. All family members in the selected households when the survey began were investigated in households with face‐to‐face questionnaire survey …”

“…On the other hand, the disease burden of dementia is huge. It will not only cause disability, reduce life quality of patients, and also causes burdens to caregivers and take up health and social care resources [ 6 – 8 ]. Hence, it’s of critical importance to carry out early prevention and control of dementia.…”

BackgroundTo evaluate the association between SUA levels within a normal to high range and the risk of mild cognitive impairment (MCI) among community elderly.MethodsThe present study was based on 2102 community elderly from a cross-sectional study conducted in a representative urban area of Beijing between 2009 and 2010. The mean age were 71.2 ± 6.6 years old, 59.7% were female. Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) was used to assess cognitive function by trained neurology doctors.ResultsThe prevalence of hyperuricemia and MCI was 16.7% and 15.9% respectively. With the increase of SUA levels, the prevalence of MCI showed a strong decreasing linear trend. Multiple logistic regression analysis showed ORs for MCI were 1.01(95% CI: 0.69–1.48), 1.50(95% CI: 0.85–2.64), 1.65(95% CI: 1.12–2.43) and 1.53(95% CI: 1.00–2.33), 1.84(95% CI: 1.27–2.90), 1.92(95% CI: 1.02–3.35) for the second, third and highest quarters among men and women respectively (with the lowest quartile as the reference).ConclusionsHigher SUA levels, when in the normal range, were positively associated with cognitive function among Chinese community elderly, but this association was not robust among participants with hyperuricemia.Electronic supplementary materialThe online version of this article (doi:10.1186/s12883-017-0929-8) contains supplementary material, which is available to authorized users.

“…A total of 2,526,145 individuals from 771,797 households were collected for the survey, representing 1.9 per 1000 inhabitants of China. By using standardized questionnaires, each family member in the selected households was investigated through face-to-face interviews by trained enumerators and the suspected disabled people among all surveyed communities were screened [18]. More details on sample processing and screening could be found in our previous work [19].…”

Background: Improving education level was evidenced to decrease the risk of schizophrenia, but whether this strength of education role depends on gender is not. This study aimed to investigate whether there was gender difference in the association between education and schizophrenia in Chinese adults. Methods: Data were obtained from the Second China National Sample Survey on Disability in 2006, including 1, 909,205 participants aged 18 years or older. Schizophrenia was ascertained according to the International Statistical Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision. Logistics regression models were fitted to examine the combined effect of gender and education on schizophrenia. Results: The lifetime prevalence of schizophrenia in female groups was higher than in male groups, with 0.44% (95%CI: 0.42-0.45%) and 0.36% (95%CI: 0.35-0.37%), respectively. Compared with schizophrenia male patients, more females with schizophrenia experienced severe or extreme difficulty in understanding and communicating. However, more males with schizophrenia suffered from severe or extreme difficulty in the function of daily activities. The combined effect of education and schizophrenia was statistically significant, indicating that, as the level of education increased, schizophrenia risk of females decreased faster than the risk of males. Conclusions: This study showed that additional years of education associated with lower risk of schizophrenia, and this association was stronger in females than in males. As education elevated, the risk of schizophrenia decreased more for women than for men. The findings indicate that improving education level may have an effect on reducing the gender disparities in mental health of China. Actions to prevent schizophrenia and address its gender disparities will require attention to the improving educational opportunities.
