Abstract:Objective To analyze the current status of plastic behavior and its influencing factors among undergraduates in Guangzhou City. Methods A total of 2,400 undergraduates from 3 universities in Guangzhou City were selected by cluster sampling method. The current status of plastic-related attitude and behavior was investigated by the self-designed questionnaire. SPSS 19.0 software was employed for analyzing the factors influencing the undergraduates’ plastic behavior. Result A total of 2,400 questionnaires were sent out and 2,229 retrieved, with a recovery rate of 96.12%. The prevalence rate of plastic behavior among the undergraduates in Guangzhou City was 9.4%, and the plastic rates of the males and the females were 5.7% and 11.8% respectively. Among the participants without plastic surgery, 10.5% felt like undergoing plastic surgery, but 89.5% never wanted to undergo it. The top 6 plastic projects were orthodontics (68.9%), hair removal (23.4%), acne treatment (19.6%), double eyelids (8.1%), whitening injection (7.2%) and hyaluronic acid (3.8%). Regarding the distribution of plastic behavior, statistically significant differences were found in gender, region, BMI, major in college, monthly living expenses, appearance self-satisfaction and overall self-satisfaction (P<0.05). Logistic regression analysis revealed that girls (OR=2.37, 95%CI:1.66-3.39, P<0.001), undergraduates with monthly living expenses more than 2,000 Yuan (OR=2.27, 95%CI:1.46-3.53, P<0.001), undergraduates with arts or economic management major (OR=1.95, 95%CI:1.23-3.08, P=0.005) and undergraduates with lower overall self-satisfaction (OR=0.47, 95%CI:0.27-0.81, P=0.006) displayed a higher prevalence rate of plastic behavior. Conclusions The undergraduates in Guangzhou City possess a rational attitude toward plastic. Gender, monthly living expenses, major in college and overall self-satisfaction are the independent factors influencing plastic behavior.
