And provide referenceevidence for1ocal policy-makers to set up health policy and deploy healthresources.MethodA total of5561people from1811families selected by stratified clustersampling were investigated by questionnaires and the relevant risk factorswere analyzed by logistic regression. Structural equation model was used toanalyze the relationship between the risk factors and the two-weekprevalence rate of respiratory diseases.ResultsThe two-week prevalence rate of respiratory disease is113.65‰.106.01‰for high urbanization area residents,132.82‰for mediumurbanization area residents, and99.00‰for low urbanization area residents.In model: behavioral habits had direct and indirect influence on two-weekprevalence rate of respiratory diseases, and the total standardizedcoefficient was0.2793. Chronic respiratory diseases had direct effect on it,and the standardized coefficient was0.4339. Social and demographic factors had direct effect on behavior and living conditions, and indirectlyaffected two-week prevalence rate of respiratory diseases, the standardizedcoefficient was-0.04186。 Urbanization influenced Social anddemographic directly, and affected two-week prevalence rate of respiratorydiseases indirectly, the standardized coefficient was0.01350.ConclusionIn this study,structural equation model was used to analyze theaffecting factors of two-week prevalence rate of respiratory diseases inChongqing. Behavioral habits had direct and indirect effect on two-weekprevalence rate of respiratory diseases, chronic respiratory diseases andliving conditions had direct impacts, while social and demographic factorswas the indirect influences. Urbanization had indirect impacts on two-weekmorbidity rate of respiratory diseases.We should pay attention to the health service needs especially inmedium urbanization area, and attach importance to old people, women,and floating people.
