Zusammenfassung: | Background: Lifestyle behaviors significantly impact health, yet remain
poorly defined in Chinese rural-to-urban migrants. Methods: In a
cross-sectional study of health-related behaviors of 5484 rural-to-urban
migrants who had worked in Shanghai for at least six months, we assessed
the contribution of demographics and physical and mental health to
lifestyle behaviors in male and female participants by multiple stepwise
cumulative odds logistic regression. Results: Respondents were 51.3% male.
9.9% exhibited abnormal blood pressure; 27.0% were overweight or obese;
11.2% reported abnormal mental health; 36.9% reported healthy lifestyle.
Multiple stepwise cumulative odds logistic regression indicated that men
working in manufacturing reported less unhealthy lifestyle than those in
hospitality (cumulative odds ratio (COR) = 1.806, 95%CI 1.275–2.559) or
recreation/leisure (COR = 3.248, 95%CI 2.379–4.435); and women working in
manufacturing and construction reported less unhealthy lifestyle than
those in all other sectors. Unhealthy lifestyle was associated with small
workplaces for men (COR = 1.422, 95%CI 1.154–1.752), working more than 8
or 11 hours per day for women and men, respectively, and earning over 3500
RMB in women (COR = 1.618, 95%CI 1.137–2.303). Single women and women who
had previously resided in three or more cities were more likely to report
unhealthy lifestyle (COR = 2.023, 95%CI 1.664–2.461, and COR = 1.311,
95%CI 1.072–1.602, respectively). Abnormal mental status was also
correlated with unhealthy lifestyle in men (COR = 3.105, 95%CI
2.454–3.930) and women (COR = 2.566, 95%CI 2.024–3.252). Conclusions:
There were different risk factors of unhealthy lifestyle score in male and
female rural-to-urban migrants, especially in number of cities
experienced, salary, marital status, work place scale. Several demographic
groups: employment sectors (e.g. hospitality and recreation/leisure),
working conditions (e.g. long hours) and abnormal mental status were
associated with unhealthy lifestyle behaviors in Chinese rural-to-urban
migrants, and health interventions should be targeted to these groups. |
