Methods A total of 8 487 permanent residents aged 15-69 years in Shenzhen city were selected with multi-stage random cluster sampling.The prevalence,cluster degree,and influencing factors of BRFs were analyzed using descriptive method and ordinal logistic regression model.
Results The major BRFs were overweight or obesity(46.58%),physical inactivity(43.78%),current smoking(42.40%),and heavy alcohol drinking(36.01%).The proportion of the residents having at least two BRFs and the mean number of BRFs were 35.29% and 1.25±0.95.The male residents(odds ratio(
OR)=5.21,90% confidence interval
CI:4.84-5.62),at age of 45 to 59 years(
OR=1.05,90%
CI:1.02-1.14),with low socialeconomic status(
OR=0.94,90%
CI:0.92-0.95),with self-reported chronic disease(
OR=1.33,90%
CI:1.18-1.49),and single/windowed(
OR=3.29,90%
CI:2.62-4.12)were more likely to have more BRFs.
