Condition of autonomic nervous function and their living background among Mongol children in China. As in Japan, to solve the health problems of children is the important subject in China. In particular, increase of obesity, poor visual acuity and decreasing of blood pressure control function has been pointed out. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to make clear the condition of autonomic nervous function and their living background among Mongol children in China. The subjects were 245 children (119 males and 126 females) from 5th and 6th graders who enrolled in Mongolian elementary schools located in urban areas and pastoral districts in the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, China. The survey was conducted in May 2017. The data of the autonomic nervous function, physical characteristics and living condition were collected in this research. The cold pressor test (CPT) was using for the measurement of autonomic nervous system. The main findings obtained as the results of this research were as follows. Although there was no regional difference in the physical characteristics of subjects, bedtime and wake-up time of urban children were later than pastoral district children and screen time of pastoral district children was longer than urban children. Moreover, the vasopressor response of urban children was larger than pastoral district children. Therefore, considering the regional differences, analysis of the relationship between vasopressor response and living background confirmed that physical activity after school had positive effect on autonomic nervous function.
