Results Among all the study subjects, 21.64% participants were with A type behavior, 62.99% with B type behavior and 5.37% with intermediate type. The scores of TH and TH+CH factor in these school students were significantly higher than those of the norm in China(
t=-17.619,-17.125,
P<0.05). The students at higher grade had higher scores of TH, LH and TH+CH factors(
P<0.05). The specially enrolled students had lower scores of CH and TH + CH factor than the regular students(
t=-3.067,-2.302,
P<0.05 or 0.01). The students from urban areas had higher scores of CH and TH+CH factors than students from rural areas(
t=3.631,2.428,
