ABSTRACT
Objective:To understand the prevalence of unhealthy lifestyle among Shanghai occupational population aged 18-59 in 2013 and provide suggestion for intervention. Methods:Data retrieved from 2013 Shanghai Non-communicable Diseases and Risk Factors Surveillance were used to investigate the residents who were 18-59 years old and engaged in various occupations in Shanghai. Descriptive analysis and test were conducted by weight and complex sampling. Smoking， drinking， eating behavior and physical activities were compared among different gender，age，area and occupation groups. Results:A total of 10 287 participants were included in this analysis. The current smoking rate of 41.46% in males were significantly higher than 0.64% in females（χ2=2 278.306，P<0.05）. The current smoking prevalence was highest in workers in production and transport （34.49%）. The rate of drinking in the past 30 days， hazardous drinking， and harmful drinking in rural area were 23.80%，6.59% and 11.62%， respectively，which were the highest in all areas. Both the hazardous and harmful drinking prevalence （8.58% and 18.70%， respectively） were the highest in agriculture workers in comparison with other occupations. There is no significant difference in insufficient intake of vegetables and fruits in gender，age and area groups. The proportion of people with excessive intake of red meat was higher in males than that in females （28.11% versus 17.77%，146.176，P<0.05）. Occupational population in urban area had the highest regular physical activities （22.64%）. The clerks had the longest daily sedentary time （7.25 h）. The agricultural workers had the lowest regular exercise rate （11.75%） and the shortest sedentary time （4.07 h）. Conclusion:This study identifies different prevalence of unhealthy lifestyle in different gender， age， area， and occupational groups， which can be helpful for for targeted intervention.
ABSTRACT
Objective To make assessment on construction effectiveness of the first batch of national chronic disease comprehensive control and prevention demonstration areas (NCD demonstration areas) in Shanghai, summarizing NCD experience and its characteristics, so as to provide reference for other regions. Methods Data were collected and analysed concerning construction of health support environment and regional characteristics of the six districts-Xuhui, Jing′an, Minhang, Jiading, Songjiang and Qingpu.Descriptive data from Shanghai Non-communicable Diseases and Risk Factors Surveillance in 2013 and 2017 was also analyzed for evaluation. Results It was noted that health support environment had been in continuous construction.The total number of health units increased by 1 502 as compared with pre-construction.The number of new type health units increased by 489 such as health theme parks, health trails and health huts.All six districts established self-help health test points covering all streets and towns.Residents′ living and behavior styles were improved, as there was a decrease in current smoking rate, oil intake and salt intake in the six NCD demonstration areas.In Xuhui, Minhang and Jiading three districts, the current smoking rate among residents over 18 years old remarkably declined.In five of the six districts, the average daily oil intake per family member was significantly reduced and so was the average daily salt intake per family member in the six districts.In addition, the six demonstration areas in Shanghai explored several models of NCD prevention and control in line with regional characteristics, which produced positive results. Conclusion The first batch of demonstration areas of Shanghai have achieved effective results in aspects of environmental support and health effects.The modes of NCD prevention and control in different districts present their regional characteristics, which provide significant reference for other regions of Shanghai in this regard.

ABSTRACT
Objective To determine the consumption of sugar-sweetened carbonated beverage and juice/fruit-flavored drink among residents aged 15 years and above in 2013 in Shanghai. Methods Data was extracted from the 2013 Shanghai Non-communicable Disease and Risk Factors Surveillance, in which multi-stage cluster sampling was performed.A total of 25 657 subjects aged ≥15 years across the city were selected for analysis. Results In the study, 34.42% (95%CI:32.33%-36.51%) and 37.85% (95%CI:35.37%-40.32%) of the subjects consumed sugar-sweetened carbonated beverage and juice/fruit-flavored drink in 2013 in Shanghai.The proportions declined with age (P for trend < 0.001), while increased with education level (P for trend < 0.001).They were 65.28% and 69.82% among students, which were much higher than other occupations.Men consumed more sugar-sweetened carbonated beverage than women (37.31% vs 31.37%), whereas less juice/fruit-flavored drink (36.14% vs 39.65%).Among the subjects consumed sugar-sweetened carbonated beverage (n=6 254) or juice/fruit-flavored drink (n=6 701), 52.20% (95%CI:49.41%-54.98%) and 54.04% (95%CI:51.09%-56.98%) consumed 1-3 times a week.The daily average amount of sugar-sweetened carbonated beverage and juice/fruit-flavored drink were 98.64 mL (95%CI:88.92-108.37) and 88.85 mL (95%CI:73.73-103.97), respectively, which were higher among the young (< 45 years old), male and students. Conclusion In 2013 in Shanghai, the consumption of sugar-sweetened carbonated beverage and juice/fruit-flavored drink is highly prevalent among residents aged 15 years and above, especially among the young, male, well-educated and students.Intervention should be tailored to reduce the consumption among at-risk population.
ABSTRACT
<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>This study aimed to investigate the epidemiology of diabetes in adults from Shanghai, aged 35 and older, in 2013.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>We estimated the diabetes prevalence in a representative sample of 18,736 adults who were selected through a multistage stratified cluster sampling process. A standard questionnaire containing questions about demographic characteristics and lifestyle factors was distributed. After an overnight fast of at least 10 hours, a venous blood sample was collected from each participant. For each patient without a history of diabetes, another blood sample was drawn 120 min after an oral glucose tolerance test to identify undiagnosed diabetes and prediabetic condition.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>Among Shanghai residents aged 35 and above, the overall weighted prevalence of diabetes was 17.6% [95% confidence interval (CI): 16.4%-18.8%]. The prevalences were 19.3% in men and 15.8% in women as well as 19.1%, 15.4%, and 16.1% in urban, suburban, and rural residents, respectively. In addition, the weighted prevalence of prediabetes was 16.5% (95% CI: 15.3%-17.8%), with the prevalences of 16.5% in men, 16.6% in women, 15.2% in urban residents, 18.0% in suburban residents, and 18.5% in rural residents. Among all patients with diabetes, 68.1% (95% CI: 64.3%-71.6%) were aware of their status, 63.5% (95% CI: 60.0%-66.9%) received diabetes treatment, but only 35.1% (95% CI: 32.4%-37.8%) had adequate glycemic control.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>In Shanghai, diabetes and prediabetes are highly prevalent. However, 1/3rd of diabetes cases are undiagnosed, and the rate of glycemic control is low.</p>
