Objective To highlight the impact of behavioral and non-behavioral factors on cardiovascular health, disease prevention and management. Methods Cox regression and forest plots were used to assess and demonstrate the relationship between their behavioral and non-behavioral factors and cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk in a study population of 20 745 people at high cardiovascular risk from Zhejing province. Apriori algorithm was used to analyze the correlation between behavioral factors and non-behavioral factors for people with at least one of the greatest risk behavioral factors. Results The incidence of cardiovascular risk in Zhejiang province was positively related to age and inversely related to education level of target population. The higher risk was identified in in male and population in urban citities as compared to female and the people in rural areas; The risk was positively related to smoking intensity and showed a U-shaped association with alcohol intake; The incidence was lowest in those who were mainly standing during routine work; The risk was lower in those who had a clear distinction between busy and idle farming activity in farmers; Men who were engaged in general physical labor and never smoked nor drank high dose of alcohol; Women who never smoked and drank, but did not work and at home were important factors related to the higher cardiovascular risk rate. Conclusions There are a wide range of factors affecting the high-risk population of cardiovascular disease, and there is a certain correlation among these factors.

Taking styrene migration amount as a test indicator, the migration of residual styrene in polystyrene cups to three types of food and alcohol stimulants was investigated comparatively, and the suitable food stimulants from the Chinese special food series were confirmed. The migration amount of styrene from the polystyrene cup to bean beverages;, tofu, porridge, and 10 and 20 vol % alcohol was detected using headspace-gas chromatography. Meanwhile, the migration amount of styrene from the cup to 50 and 95 vol% alcohol was determined by high-performance liquid chromatograph. The results indicated that the migration amount of styrene in the bean beverages was between the migration amounts in 20 and 50 vol% alcohol. The migration amounts of styrene in tofu and porridge was closed to the migration amounts in 10 and 20 vol% alcohol, which were much lower than that in 50 vol% alcohol. According to the migration results, 50 vol % alcohol was recommended as a simulant for bean beverages, and 20 vol % alcohol as a simulant for tofu and porridge. These results provided a data reference for reformulating the national food safety standards. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
