However, its distribution in Chinese general population remains unclear. We aimed to investigate blood eosinophil count and its determinants in a Chinese general population. &lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Methods:&lt;\/i&gt;&lt;\/b&gt; In this population-based study, general citizens of Sichuan province in China were extracted from the China Pulmonary Health study. Data on demographics, personal and family history, living condition, lifestyle, spirometry, and complete blood count test were obtained and analyzed. A stepwise multivariate binary logistic regression analysis was performed to identify determinants of high blood eosinophils (&amp;gt;75th percentile). &lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Results:&lt;\/i&gt;&lt;\/b&gt; A total of 3,310 participants were included, with a mean age (standard deviation) of 47.0 (15.6) years. In total population, the median blood eosinophil count was 110.0 (interquartile range [IQR]: 67.2\u2013192.9) cells\/\u03bcL, lower than that in smokers (133.4 cells\/\u03bcL, IQR: 79.3\u2013228.4) and patients with asthma (140.7 cells\/\u03bcL, IQR: 79.6\u2013218.2) or post-bronchodilator airflow limitation (141.5 cells\/\u03bcL, IQR: 82.6\u2013230.1), with a right-skewed distribution. Multivariate analyses revealed that oldness (aged \u226560 years) (odds ratio [OR]: 1.66, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.11\u20132.48), smoking \u226520 pack-years (OR: 1.90, 95% CI: 1.20\u20133.00), raising a dog\/cat (OR: 1.72, 95% CI: 1.17\u20132.52), and occupational exposure to dust, allergen, and harmful gas (OR: 1.58, 95% CI: 1.15\u20132.15) were significantly associated with high blood eosinophils. &lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Conclusion:&lt;\/i&gt;&lt;\/b&gt; This study identifies a median blood eosinophil count of 110.0 cells\/\u03bcL and determinants of high blood eosinophils in a Chinese general population, including oldness (aged \u226560 years), smoking \u226520 pack-years, raising a dog\/cat, and occupational exposure to dust, allergen, and harmful gas.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1159\/000535989","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,1,22]],"date-time":"2024-01-22T17:00:30Z","timestamp":1705942830000},"page":"70-78","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":8,"title":["Blood Eosinophil Count and Its Determinants in a Chinese Population-Based Cohort"],"prefix":"10.1159","volume":"103","author":[{"given":"Mei","family":"Yang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yao","family":"Lv","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Shijie","family":"Tang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Dan","family":"Xu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Diandian","family":"Li","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Zenglin","family":"Liao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Xiaoou","family":"Li","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Lei","family":"Chen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"127","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,1,22]]},"container-title":["Respiration"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/karger.com\/res\/article-pdf\/103\/2\/70\/4169443\/000535989.pdf","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/karger.com\/res\/article-pdf\/103\/2\/70\/4169443\/000535989.pdf","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2025,4,23]],"date-time":"2025-04-23T12:03:32Z","timestamp":1745409812000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/karger.com\/article\/doi\/10.1159\/000535989"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2024]]},"references-count":0,"journal-issue":{"issue":"2","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,2,15]]}},"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1159\/000535989","archive":["Portico"],"relation":{"is-supplemented-by":[{"id-type":"doi","id":"10.6084\/m9.figshare.24998723","asserted-by":"subject"}]},"ISSN":["0025-7931","1423-0356"],"issn-type":[{"value":"0025-7931","type":"print"},{"value":"1423-0356","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2024]]}}}
