    Abstract Objectives: To assess and evaluate the knowledge of Shanghai, China, residents on the use of SARS-CoV-2 antigen detection and rapid diagnostic self-test.
    Methods: A cross-sectional electronic survey using a self-administered questionnaire was sent
    Results: A total of 283 participants were recruited between July 1, 2022 and July 20, 2022 through an online survey. The mean score of knowledge on the tests was 14.33 ± 2.85 (out of 21). The questions concerning the depth of swab insertion and minimum number of swab rotations in the nostril, necessity of bilateral sampling, necessity of rotating and squeezing the swab for 10 times in the extraction buffer tube, and waiting time for the results showed the highest rate of incorrect responses. In the multiple regression analysis model, sex, social status, and source of information were associated with the knowledge on the self-test kits.
    Conclusion: Immediate health education programs should be made available and the kits could be improved appropriately to ensure adequate knowledge. The use of technology should be fully leveraged to achieve accurate self-diagnosis and correct interpretation of the results.

    Abstract Background: Medication adherence is essential for optimizing treatment outcomes in elderly patients who frequently contend with multiple chronic diseases requiring pharmacological interventions. Mild cognitive impairment (MCI) is a prevalent cognitive disorder among the elderly population, but its impact on medication adherence among elderly patients is still uncertain. This cross-sectional study aimed to investigate the impact of MCI on medication adherence among elderly patients.
    Methods: A cross-sectional study of 436 elderly patients with common chronic diseases aged 60 years and above was conducted. Medication adherence was measured using the Morisky Medication Adherence Scale-8 (MMAS-8). MCI was screened, and cognitive status was assessed using the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) questionnaire. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was performed to identify independent risk factors of medication non-adherence.
    Results: Among these elderly patients, 212 (48.6%) had poor medication compliance, and 181 (41.5%) had MCI. Preliminary analyses showed a significant association between MCI and medication non-adherence among elderly patients (odds ratio (OR)=3.95, 95% confidence interval (95%CI)=2.63-5.92, P<0.001). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that MCI was independently associated with the risk of medication non-adherence among elderly patients (adjusted OR=2.64, 95%CI=1.64-4.24, P<0.001). Additionally, adverse drug reaction and poor evaluation of medication effects were also independently associated with medication non-adherence in elderly patients (P<0.05).
    Conclusion: Findings from this cross-sectional study proved the substantial adverse impact of MCI on medication adherence among elderly patients, and MCI was an independently influential factor of medication non-adherence. Identifying the MCI status early and providing interventions to enhance medication adherence are undoubtedly essential for optimizing healthcare outcomes in elderly patients.

    Abstract Objective: Allergic rhinitis (AR) is a disease associated with impaired quality of life and heredity. This study aimed to investigate the association of allergic rhinitis in preschool children with exposure to indoor environment-related factors early in life.
    Methods: In August 2019, the authors implemented a study among 2020 preschool children in Urumqi City using a case-control design. The study included parental reports for the occurrence of AR in children, parental history of respiratory disease, and indoor environmental correlates of maternal exposure from 1 year prior to pregnancy until the child's age of 0-1 year.
    Results: Mode of birth (cesarean section) (OR = 1.31, 95% CI = 1.02∼1.67), father with AR (OR = 2.67, 95% CI = 2.08∼3.44), mother with AR (OR = 3.70, 95% CI = 2.88∼4.74), mother with asthma (OR = 3.11, 95% CI = 1.18∼8.20), and mother with newly purchased furniture in the parents' residence during pregnancy (OR = 1.49, 95% CI = 1.03∼2.14) were risk factors for AR in children.
    Conclusions: The focus of allergic rhinitis should be on children with a family history of AR and asthma and cesarean delivery. Primary prevention efforts for AR in preschool children are avoiding exposure of children to indoor environmental hazardous factors early in life.

    Abstract Background: Studies have rarely explored the association between oral health status and different sarcopenia groups (possible sarcopenia, diagnosed sarcopenia, and severe sarcopenia). Moreover, these studies have not reported any definitive conclusions of their relationship. We aimed to characterize the oral health status, prevalence of sarcopenia, and risk factors in different sarcopenia groups of elderly outpatients of community hospitals. Furthermore, we determined the correlation among nutrition, oral health, and different sarcopenia groups.
    Methods: Overall, 1505 elderly participants (aged ≥ 65 years) completed the survey. The Mini Nutritional Assessment short-form (MNA-SF) was used to assess the nutrition status of the elderly. Oral health was assessed using the instrument of the oral health assessment index of the elderly (General Oral Health Assessment Index [GOHAI]), and the number of remaining natural teeth (NRT) was counted. Data on muscle mass, muscle strength, and gait speed were collected, and sarcopenia was classified into three groups (possible sarcopenia, diagnosed sarcopenia, and severe sarcopenia) according to the Asian Working Group for Sarcopenia 2019. Multinomial logistic regression multivariate analysis was used to test their relationships.
    Results: Eighty-eight (5.8%) participants were identified as having possible sarcopenia; 142 (9.5%), diagnosed sarcopenia; 136 (9.0%), severe sarcopenia; and 1139 (75.7%), no sarcopenia. Of the seven variables, advancing age was typically associated with an increasing prevalence of sarcopenia (odds ratio [OR] = 1.06-1.47, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.06-1.47). The results showed that household income (OR = 0.57, 95% CI = 0.33-0.98), education level (OR = 3.32, 95% CI = 1.09-10.07), and chronic diseases (OR = 0.34, 95% CI = 0.19-0.62) were significantly associated with the severe sarcopenia group. Physical activity scores were significantly associated with the diagnosed sarcopenia and severe sarcopenia groups. Participants with < 20 NRT were more likely to have diagnosed sarcopenia (OR = 5.55, 95% CI = 3.80-8.12) or severe sarcopenia (OR = 6.66, 95% CI = 4.13-10.76) than participants with > 20 NRT. The GOHAI score was associated with the diagnosed sarcopenia (OR = 5.55, 95% CI = 3.80-8.12) and severe sarcopenia (OR = 6.66, 95% CI = 4.13-10.78) groups. The MNA-SF score was associated with the different sarcopenia groups.
    Conclusions: Assessing early and improving lifestyle with respect to nutrition and oral health may be an effective way to reduce or delay the occurrence of sarcopenia.
