“…The increase in traffic injuries is a serious threat to the safety of pedestrians and cyclists. Wang et al [ 8 ] investigated road traffic mortality in China from 2006 to 2016 and found pedestrians to be the most vulnerable road users. An in increase in sedentary jobs and an increased reliance on motorized transport have made leisure-time physical activity (LTPA) more important in fulfilling recommended PA levels [ 9 ].…”

Providing Sports Venues on Mainland China: Implications for Promoting Leisure-Time Physical Activity and National Fitness Policies

Leisure-time physical activity (LTPA) has been well documented as having substantial health benefits. The 2014 Chinese Fitness Survey Report stated that a lack of physical activity (PA) spaces is the most important non-human factor, leading to 10% of leisure-time physical inactivity in people aged 20 and above. We investigated the provision of sports venues in China and discussed the development of sports venues and national fitness policies in the context of promoting LTPA and public health. We analyzed information from China’s most recent sport venue census, the Sixth National Sports Venues Census, conducted in 2013. The number of sports venues increased between 2000 and 2013, with an inflection point around the year 2008. At the end of 2013, there were 12.45 venues for every 10,000 residents, and the per capita area was 1.46 m2. However, numbers were still small compared with the United States and Japan. The percentages of full-time access, part-time access and membership venues were 51.5%, 14.3% and 34.2% respectively. Only half of sports venues were fully open to the public, meaning that the realized number and area per capita could be even lower. A lack of sports venues forces people who want to engage in PA to occupy other urban spaces that are not planned and designed for PA. Urban parks had 119,750 fitness station facilities (3.32% of the total), and 2366 urban fitness trails (19.24%), with a combined length of 6450 km (32.91%). On average, urban and rural areas had 13.17 and 10.80 venues per 10,000 persons, and 1.83 m2 and 0.97 m2 per capita. The urban-rural gap in sports venues exactly embodies some aspects of the “urban-rural dual structure” in China’s society. Measures to promote PA should focus on new and existing sports venues. In the policy making process, Chinese governments need to pay attention to the potential impact of related, external factors such as the gap between the urban and the rural and the potential advantage of indoor venues against summer heat and air pollution.

To improve the safety management of rural buses, this paper attempts to identify the factors affecting the drivers' behavioral features and their illegal driving behaviors. From the perspective of driver psychology, the safety incentive (SI) index was introduced to improve the theory of planned behavior (TPB) model. Then, the authors verified the improved TPB model for the illegal driving behaviors of rural bus drivers. In addition, the influence mechanisms of several factors on the illegal driving behaviors were fully analyzed, namely, attitude toward the behavior (AB), subjective norm (SN), perceived behavioral control (PBC), and the SI. The results show that the rural bus drivers have not developed a correct understanding of illegal driving behaviors; the attitudes of families, friends and passengers can indirectly affect the driving behaviors; the PBC of the driver has a direct or an indirect influence on the illegal driving behaviors; the SI, as the additional index, has a significant inhibitory effect on illegal driving behaviors. Finally, it is advised to improve the safety management of rural buses by improving education and publicity, supervising the whole driving process, and perfecting the SI system.

“…Associations between new employment and injuries among workers have been uncovered during decades of study in the US mining industry,6 and for those working as blue collars or apprentices in the non-agricultural private sector 7. With respect to the effect of sex on injuries, there were significant differences between both sexes in injuries related to motor vehicle trauma8 and to occupation 9…”

ObjectivesThis study aimed to evaluate the risk of inpatient hospitalisation for all-cause injuries, according to age, sex and industrial classification (IC) in South Korea.DesignA population-based retrospective study.Setting and participantsData from the National Health Insurance Database on medical claims for the entire population of South Korean workers aged 25–59 years from January 2012 to December 2015 were retrieved. We observed 30 900 712 person-years (63.1%) in male workers and 18 105 272 person-years (36.9%) in female workers.Main outcome measuresThe inpatient hospitalisation for all-cause injury was defined as admission for which the principal diagnosis included S00–T98 in the Korean version of International Classification of Diseases-10 codes.ResultsOf 788 575 hospitalisations for all-cause injuries from 2012 to 2015, there were 565 107 cases in male workers (1 828.8 per 100 000 person-years) and 223 468 cases in female workers (1 234.3 per 100 000 person-years). The top five ICs with hospitalisation rate ratios (HRR) for all-cause injuries in both sexes compared with the financial intermediation IC included agriculture, hunting and forestry (HRR (95% CI); male: 2.09 (1.98 to 2.20); female: 1.53 (1.40 to 1.67)); mining and quarrying (male: 2.05 (1.92 to 2.19); female: 1.54 (1.27 to 1.87)) and fishing (male: 1.68 (1.57 to 1.80); female: 1.71 (1.51 to 1.93)). A U-shaped relationship occurred between age and risk for injuries in males; however, only a linear relationship was shown in females, regardless of IC.ConclusionsThe risk of injures varied by IC. The workers in agriculture, hunting, forestry, mining, quarrying and fishing were more vulnerable to injuries. The risk for injuries were higher among men and the age effect on this risk differed by sex. Thus, policy makers need to consider specific measures for prevention of injuries according to age, sex and IC.
