⑴ Background——In the context of social and economic progress and increasing awareness of environmental protection, forest tourism has received more and more attention. Despite the rapid development of forest tourism in China, it still faces challenges such as personnel shortage, inadequate infrastructure and limited product diversity. Therefore, the participation of community residents is essential to promote the sustainable development of forest tourism. ⑵ Methods——The research data came from the research group’s questionnaire survey of the community residents in 8 towns around Wuyishan National Park from September 2022 to July 2023, and a total of 1002 valid questionnaires were obtained. Then, cloud model, heterogeneity analysis and qualitative comparative analysis were used to analyze the influencing factors and conditions of the community residents’ willingness to participate in the value co-creation of forest tourism. ⑶ Results——First, the community residents had a complicated cognition about forest tourism. They recognized the positive impact of forest tourism on the economic development of rural communities, but also expressed concerns about the possible negative ecological impacts, such as the destruction of traditional culture and the encroachment of farmland. Second, there was heterogeneity in the willingness of the community residents to participate in the value co-creation of forest tourism. In families with relatives and friends involved in forest tourism projects or with village cadres, the willingness of the community residents to participate was often significantly negatively affected. However, larger cultivated land area and housing area had significant, although relatively small, positive effects on the willingness of the community residents to participate in the value co-creation of forest tourism. Third, there were three driving paths for the community residents to participate in the value co-creation of forest tourism: the neighborhood relationship and education level played a core role; the neighborhood relationship and cultivated land area played the core role, and the education level played the auxiliary role; the education level and housing area played a core role. In these three driving paths, higher education level and good neighborhood relations were conducive to enhancing the willingness of community residents to participate in the value co-creation of forest tourism. ⑷ Conclusions and Discussions——The development of forest tourism is a comprehensive plan, and it is very important to balance the positive and negative external effects of forest tourism. First, the government should limit excessive development through legislation and policy guidance, while protecting the ecological environment and traditional culture. The government should provide opportunities for education and training for the community residents to improve their literacy. Strengthen the publicity and education of forest tourism in order to enhance the understanding, recognition and support of the community residents for the value co-creation of forest tourism. Second, the community should actively participate in the planning and management of forest tourism, including project selection, design, operation and supervision, and ensure the broad participation of the community residents in the decision-making process. The community should be committed to establishing and maintaining good neighborhood relations, forming a supportive, mutual help and harmonious community atmosphere, so as to enhance community cohesion. Third, the community residents, as the direct participants and beneficiaries of forest tourism, should also actively participate in the planning and management of forest tourism.

ObjectiveTo examine the prevalence and associates of influenza vaccination among adult community residents in urban and rural Anhui province. MethodsWith stratified multistage sampling and a self-designed question-naire, we conducted an on-site self-administered survey with interviewer assistance among 978 residents aged 16 years and older in 8 urban and rural communities of Anhui province during July – December 2021. The participants′ information on demographics, influenza vaccination in past one year, cognition about coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) epidemic, and history of COVID-19 vaccination were collected and analyzed using χ2 test; multivariate analysis was adopted to explore influencing factors of influenza vaccination. Results Among the 833 participants with valid responses, 232 (27.85%, 95% confidence interval [95%CI]: 24.73 – 31.14%) reported receiving influenza vaccination in past one year. Of the participants not receiving influenza vaccination, 57.57% reported being unaware of influenza vaccination. The results of multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that the participants with following characteristics were more likely to receive influenza vaccination: male gender (odds ratio [OR] = 1.43, 95%CI: 1.01 – 2.04), with the education of junior high school and above (OR = 1.81, 95%CI: 1.03 – 3.17), with a higher self-rated risk of COVID-19 infection (OR = 1.50, 95%CI: 1.02 – 2.20), ever receiving COVID-19 vaccination (OR = 9.20, 95%CI: 3.28 – 25.80), and being satisfied with community-based measures for prevention and control of COVID-19 epidemic (OR = 1.61, 95%CI: 1.06 – 2.47). ConclusionThe acceptance of influenza vaccination is mainly influenced by gender, education, knowledge about COVID-19 epidemic, and history of COVID-19 vaccination among urban and rural adult community residents in Anhui province.

Human activities such as deforestation, farming, and uncontrolled construction have had a negative impact on mangrove areas in the Reserve. This paper explores how the mangrove area and space have changed since the establishment of the Dongzhaigang Mangrove Nature Reserve, as well as the relationship between this change and the community residents around the Reserve. Six remote sensing images, from 1976 to 2021, were used to obtain wetland data of different ages in the Dongzhaigang Mangrove Forest Nature Reserve in Haikou City. Using the transfer matrix, a questionnaire survey, and principal component analysis, we analyzed the changes in mangrove forests in protected areas and their relationship with surrounding communities over the past 45 years. The results show that: (1) From 1976 to 2021, the area of mangroves in the reserve has increased from 1,395.84 hm2 in 1976 to 1,589.28 hm2 in 2021, showing a trend of "suddenly slowing and rising" during this period, and the proportion of mangrove area has increased from 28.6% in 1976 to 32.6% in 2021, becoming the main wetland type. The largest decline (250 hm2) in the mangrove area was from 1976 to 1985. The largest growth occurred from 2005 to 2018, when the mangrove area increased by 190.08 hm2. (2) From 1976 to 2021, 91.77 hm2 of mangrove wetlands in the study area were converted into other wetlands, 10.71 hm2 were converted into non-wetlands, and 267.71 hm2 of other wetlands and 28.21 hm2 of non-wetlands were converted into mangrove wetlands. In the same period, the transfer targets of mangrove forests in the reserve were muddy beaches (34.32 hm2), rivers (25.81 hm2), marine aquaculture farms (21.06 hm2), other land (10.58 hm2) and flooded wetlands/interiors. Land flats (8.26 hm2); silt beaches (177.41 hm2), rivers (38.18 hm2), other land (28.21 hm2), deltas/sands/sand islands (22.15 hm2), flooding Wetlands/inland tidal flats (21.79 hm2), and paddy fields (6.34 hm2) are the most common areas transferred into mangroves. (3) Fishing income from surrounding community-dwelling individuals was significantly associated with farming, disfiguring forest-digging pond areas, conservation awareness, and mangrove area variation. The factor quality of fishing practices (cos2), values of fishing practices and income, months of fishing, fishing volume, and conservation attitude in the surrounding community residents accounted for more than 0.6 in the principal component analysis of area change of mangrove forests, where the factor quality of fishing practices and fishing income were more than 0.8. The decline in residential fishing frequency corresponds with the shift in household income sources, the occupational move from fishing to wage and service industries, the obvious increase in conservation awareness and the conservation attitude of residents, and the transformation of the mangrove area away from serious destruction to less fragmentation. The contributions of freshwater farms, resident population, number of secondary schools, and village to mangrove distance factors were all greater than 10 and negatively correlated with mangrove area change. Therefore, it is necessary to explore the relationship between mangroves and community residents to obtain a scientific reference for the utilization, protection, restoration, and management of mangroves in the Dongzhaigang Mangrove Nature Reserve.

ObjectiveTo investigate the prevalence and influencing factors of subclinical infection of hepatitis E virus (HEV) in Shanghai community residents for providing evidences to comprehensive prevention and treatment of hepatitis E.MethodsWith multistage probability proportional-to-size random sampling, we conducted a seroepidemiological survey among 4 661 permanent residents (aged 1 – 69 years) in 32 urban communities/rural villages in 16 districts of Shanghai city during May – December 2018. The participants had face-to-face interviews with a self-designed questionnaire and detections of serum HEV immunoglobulin G (IgG) and immunoglobulin M (IgM) by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Binary multivariate logistic regression analysis was adopted to explore influencing factors of subclinical HEV infection.ResultsOf all the participants, 26.11% (1 217) were positive for HEV-IgG or HEV-IgM antibody. The results of regression analysis revealed that the risk factors of subclinical HEV infection included male gender, five years old and above, drinking unboiled water occasionally, being retired, having hepatitis related detection during past six months, and consuming fresh sashimi during past six months; the results also showed that with a non-local registered residence, being not sure about a history of having HEV vaccination, and washing hands before eating and after using bathroom were protective factors against HEV infection.ConclusionAmong urban and rural community residents of Shanghai city, the prevalence of HEV subclinical infection was relatively high and influenced mainly by gender, age, occupation, registered residence, whether drinking unboiled water, history of HEV vaccination, and the status of having hepatitis-related test/consuming fresh sashimi during past six months.

Objective To assess the effect of intervention on community prevention for osteoporosis. Methods Twenty community service centers in Shanghai were divided into control and interventional groups, in which community health education for osteoporosis were carried out relatively. A total of 2000 residents were investigated before and after intervention, respectively, by questionnaire with convenience sampling method. PSM method was applied to match the data before and after the intervention by grouping to assess the intervention effect. Results After intervention, the average marks of interventional group’s osteoporosis knowledge, osteoporosis efficacy, and self-management behavior of osteoporosis prevention increased by 7. 72,11.62 and 3.53 scores, respectively （P<0.001), which were also higher than those in control group （P<0.001). Conclusion It is not enough to change the residents’ behavior to prevent osteoporosis by merely knowledge education. It should be supplemented by psychological counseling and behavioral intervention to form a comprehensive community intervention form. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Objective To investigate the prevalence of dyslipidemia and diabetes mellitus in adult residents of Jiangxi Province, and to explore the correlation between dyslipidemia and diabetes mellitus. Methods A multi‑stage stratified random sampling method was adopted to conduct cross‑sectional survey of 5 040 residents over 18 years old in 14 urban and rural community committees in Jiangxi Province from March to July 2018, including questionnaire, physical examination, oral glucose tolerance test and biochemical indicators etc. SAS software was used for statistical analysis and Chi‑square test was used for comparing the differences and tendency test. Logistic regression model was used for multiple‑factor analysis. Results The standardized prevalence of dyslipidemia in adults and diabetes mellitus was 28.79% and 11.68% respectively in Jiangxi Province. The prevalence of dyslipidemia in adult females increased with age (P<0.01), while that in males decreased with age (P<0.01). The prevalence of diabetes mellitus increased with the increase of body mass index (P<0.01). Mixed dyslipidemia had a greater impact on blood glucose metabolism than single dyslipidemia (P<0.05). Logistic regression analysis showed that dyslipidemia, high triglyceride, high low density lipoprotein cholesterol were independent risk factors for diabetes mellitus in adults in Jiangxi Province, with OR values of 1.395, 1.116 and 1.331, respectively (all P<0.05). The incidence of adult diabetes mellitus in Jiangxi Province was not related to the levels of total cholesterol and high density lipoprotein cholesterol (P>0.05). Conclusion Dyslipidemia is closely related to diabetes. People with obesity, overweight or mixed dyslipidemia are at higher isk of diabetes. Prevention and control work should be differentiated according to crowed characteristics. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Objectives: To determine the various modes of family dental services available in Chengdu city, China and to analyze the willingness of community residents to sign the contract for these services and the factors influencing their decision to do so., Methods: From September 2020 to October 2020, nine communities in Chengdu city were sampled via stratified multiple-stage random sampling and surveyed by sending questionnaires. The questionnaire sought to gather information on the residents' sociodemographic characteristics, their intention to participate in family dental services, and determine their knowledge of oral health cognition and behavior., Results: A total of 1 227 valid questionnaires were collected. Among the community residents surveyed, 24.78% stated that they were willing to participate in family dental services. Binary logistic regression analysis revealed that the factors affecting the residents' willingness to participate in various modes of family dental services were age ( OR =0.571, P <0.05), type of medical insurance ( OR =1.534, P <0.05), level of oral health knowledge ( OR =1.363, P <0.05), oral health behavior [including the number of time they brush their teeth ( OR =1.464, P <0.05), and the frequency of seeking oral medical treatment( OR =1.780, 2.174, P <0.05)]., Conclusions: The demand of community residents for the family dental services needs to be improved. Young and middle-aged people showed more enthusiasm than older adults to seek family dental services. The type of medical insurance they have and the level of their health literacy were the primary factors that influence their decision to seek such services. Information and education campaigns on oral health should be strengthened to enhance the public's knowledge of this important aspect of hygiene and overall health and promote the development of various modes of family dental services.

Objective: To understand the knowledge, attitude and practice(KAP) of nutrition label for community residents in Shanghai and the effects of health education interventions, and to explore the factors affecting the knowledge, attitude and practice(KAP), and to provide theoretical bases for relevant policies., Methods: Using stratified random sampling to randomly select at least 20 residents before and after the intervention in each community in Shanghai. A baseline survey was carried out in early March 2016. The survey included basic information and the knowledge、attitude and practice of nutrition label. Using a combination of online and offline method such as issuing posters, folding pages, conducting lectures on knowledge, tweeting on WeChat public accounts, etc. , for a 4-month intervention, and an assessment survey was conducted in June. The same questionnaire was used before and after the intervention., Results: The awareness rate of nutrition labels among community residents in Shanghai increased from 63. 0% before the intervention to 87. 4% after the intervention. The proportion of those who felt it necessary to label nutrition labels increased from 77. 7% before the intervention to 88. 3%. When purchasing prepackaged food, the proportion of people who often read nutrition labels increased from 32. 2% before intervention to 51. 8%, and the above differences were statistically significant(P&lt;0. 05). After the intervention, the mastery of nutrition labeling knowledge, attitudes and behaviors of men were positively changed(P&lt;0. 05). After the intervention, residents in the suburban areas have significantly improved their knowledge, attitudes and behaviors related to nutrition labeling(P&lt;0. 05). The improvement effects of residents in the suburbs was lower than that in the other two types of areas(P&lt;0. 05). Logistic regression analysis showed that intervention, female, high education, living in the central city, knowing the nutrition label, and thinking that it is necessary to label the nutrition label are the protective factors of looking at the nutrition label when buying foods., Conclusion: Health education can effectively improve the awareness rate of prepackaged food nutrition labels, relevant attitudes and behavior changes of residents in Shanghai communities. After intervention, the knowledge and behavior of nutrition labels in Shanghai communities are at a high level. Men, low-education low-income and residents in remote areas are the key population for future health education related to nutrition labels.

Objective: To investigate the prevalence and risk factors of dyslipidemia among community residents in Bengbu City., Methods: Totally 8 communities from 4districts were sampled through stratified randomized sampling, 1545 community residents[468 males, 1077 females, the mean age was( 55. 19 ± 12. 07) years old]selected as thesubjects. They answered a well-designed questionnaire( age, gender, history of chronic disease), received physical examinations( height, weight, waist circumference, hip circumference), measured the blood lipids and blood glucose. The prevalence and risk factors of dyslipidemia were analyzed., Results: Among 826( 53. 5%) patients with dyslipidemia, 220( 47. 0%) males, 606( 56. 3%) females. The prevalence of dyslipidemia in male decreased in accordance to aging, the peak appeared in 50-59 age group. However, the prevalence of dyslipidemia in female increased in accordance to aging, the peak appeared in ≥70 age group. There were significant difference in BMI, WC, WHR, SBP, DBP, TC, TG, HDL-C, overweight, obesity and regular physical activity between the dyslipidemia and normal subjects( P < 0. 05). Logistic analysis showed that WC, WHR, overweight were independent risk factors for dyslipidemia, regular physical activity was protective factor for dyslipidemia., Conclusion: Dyslipidemia is common in Bengbu City, measures should be taken to prevent the people who are at higher risk from getting dyslipidemia, especially in those obesity people and perimenopause women.

Objective: To evaluate the diet quality and diet structure of community residents in Bengbu City by Chinese Diet Balance Index-07( DBI-07), in order to provide a scientific basis for dietary guidance and nutrition intervention., Methods: A stratified cluster random sampling was used in our design, a total of 772 community residents were selected from 8 communities in Bengbu City in 2015. Food intakes were collected by a continuous 3d 24 h dietary survey, and the dietary quality was evaluated by an adjusted DBI-07 scoring and evaluation system., Results: The overall dietary quality of Bengbu community residents was somewhat imbalance( DQD = 31. 6). Insufficient intake( LBS =26. 1) and excessive intake( HBS = 9. 0) were both coexisted in the residents of Bengbu. Male had a higher level of excessive intake and imbalance than female. Rural areas were more severe in insufficient and imbalance than those of the city. Group age from 45 to 55 has the highest level of dietary imbalance( DQD = 35. 2). From the distribution of DBI scores, intake of vegetables, fruits, milk and beans were insufficient, the intake of vegetables and fruits, milk and beans approaching and reaching RNI accounted for 20. 1%and 9. 3%, respectively. Major dietary pattern of residents is the Pattern A( 27. 9%), B( 32. 3%) and E( 21. 0%)., Conclusion: The dietary quality of residents in Bengbu should be improved. Men, rural residents and 45- 55 age group are the main intervention groups. It is necessary to intensify the dietary guidelines and food guide pagoda, in order to improve the consciousness of residents about reasonable, adequate diet and low salt, low oil.
