Abstract

Based on Yichang health big data platform, 850 608 patients from September 2018 to September 2019 were included in this study. According to the date of birth, the participants were divided into early childhood famine exposure group, fetal famine exposure group and non-famine exposure group. The incidence of adult herpes zoster (HZ) in Yichang city was analyzed, and the correlation between early life famine exposure and adult HZ was analyzed. In 2019, the crude incidence rate of adult HZ in Yichang was 6.83‰. The crude incidence rate of adult HZ in females (7.26‰) was higher than that in males (6.40‰). Compared with the non-famine exposure group, fetal famine exposure was associated with the incidence of adult HZ (OR=1.21; 95%CI: 1.01-1.45, P=0.041). After stratification by sex, fetal famine exposure was only found to be associated with the onset of adult HZ in females (OR=1.28, 95%CI:1.02-1.61, P=0.034).

基于宜昌健康大数据平台,纳入2018年9月至2019年9月期间的850 608例就诊患者为研究对象,根据出生日期将研究对象分为儿童早期饥荒暴露组、胎儿期饥荒暴露组和非饥荒暴露组,分析宜昌市成人带状疱疹(HZ)发病情况并分析生命早期饥荒暴露与成年HZ的相关性。2019年宜昌市城区成年HZ粗发病率6.83‰,女性(7.26‰)高于男性(6.40‰)。与非饥荒暴露组相比,胎儿期饥荒暴露与成年HZ发病相关(OR=1.21;95%CI:1.01~1.45,P=0.041)。按性别分层后,仅在女性中发现胎儿期饥荒暴露与成年HZ发病相关(OR=1.28;95%CI:1.02~1.61,P=0.034)。.
