Injuries affect all age groups but have a particular impact on young people. To evaluate the incidence of non-fatal, unintentional, injuries among undergraduates in Wenzhou, China, assess the burden caused by these injuries, and explore the associated risk factors for unintentional injuries among these undergraduates, we conducted a college-based cross-sectional study.
Participants were selected by a multi-stage random sampling method, and 2,287 students were asked whether they had had an injury in the last 12 months; the location, cause, and consequences of the event. The questionnaire included demographic and socioeconomic characteristics, lifestyle habits, and the scale of type A behaviour pattern (TABP). Multivariate logistic regression models were used; crude odds ratios (ORs), adjusted ORs and their 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were estimated, with students having no injuries as the reference group.
The incidence of injuries among undergraduates in Wenzhou was 18.71 injuries per 100 person-years (95%CI: 17.12~20.31 injuries per 100 person-years). Falls were the leading cause of injury, followed by traffic injuries, and animal/insect bites. Male students were more likely to be injured than female students. Risk factors associated with unintentional injuries among undergraduates were: students majoring in non-medicine (adjusted OR: 1.53; 95% CI: 1.19-1.96); type A behaviour pattern (adjusted OR: 2.99; 95% CI: 1.45-6.14); liking sports (adjusted OR: 1.86; 95% CI: 1.41-2.45).
Injuries have become a public health problem among undergraduates. Falls were the major cause of non-fatal injury. Therefore, individuals, families, schools and governments should promptly adopt preventive measures aimed at preventing and controlling morbidity due to non-fatal injury, especially among students identified to be at high-risk; such as male students with type A behaviour pattern who like sports.
伤害影响所有年龄段，但对年轻人影响尤其大。为评估中国温州大学生中非致命性、非故意伤害的发生率，评估这些伤害造成的负担，并探讨这些大学生意外伤害的相关危险因素，我们开展了一项基于大学的横断面研究。
采用多阶段随机抽样法选取参与者，询问 2287 名学生在过去 12 个月中是否发生过伤害；记录事件发生的地点、原因和后果。问卷包括人口统计学和社会经济学特征、生活方式习惯和 A 型行为模式量表（TABP）。采用多变量逻辑回归模型；以无伤害的学生为参照组，估计未经调整的优势比（OR）、调整后的 OR 及其 95%置信区间（CI）。
温州大学生的伤害发生率为 18.71 例/100 人年（95%CI：17.1220.31 例/100 人年）。跌倒为伤害的主要原因，其次是交通伤害和动物/昆虫咬伤。与女性学生相比，男性学生更易受伤。与大学生非故意伤害相关的危险因素为：非医学专业学生（调整后的 OR：1.53；95%CI：1.191.96）；A 型行为模式（调整后的 OR：2.99；95%CI：1.456.14）；喜欢运动（调整后的 OR：1.86；95%CI：1.412.45）。
伤害已成为大学生的公共卫生问题。跌倒为非致命性伤害的主要原因。因此，个人、家庭、学校和政府应及时采取预防措施，旨在预防和控制非致命性伤害的发病率，特别是针对被确定为高风险的学生；例如，具有 A 型行为模式且喜欢运动的男性学生。
