Objective To evaluate the impact of diabetes prevalence and mortality on health life expectancy (HLE).Methods A cause-excluded health adjusted life expectancy method was used to quantitatively analyze the impact of diabetes on HLE and the composition of health life losses (HLL),using the integrated data on population mortality,self-assessed health status and diabetes prevalence.Results The HLE for people aged 15 was 55.80 in Zhejiang,in 2013.After removing the diabetes morbidity and mortality,the HLE for men aged 15 increased by 0.86 and 1.13,respectively,with an increase of 1.04 and 0.66 for urban and rural residents.Substantial increase of HLE was observed in women and urban residents than those for men and rural residents.HLL caused by diabetes mortality and morbidity appeared as 0.10 and 0.79,with a ratio of 7.92.Conclusion HLL caused by diabetes mortality was much greater than those caused by diabetes mortality,suggesting the most effective measure in reducing the diabetes-related HLL is to promote the healthy lifestyle in urban areas and especially for women.

Progress in research of association between sleep duration and type 2 diabetes / 中华流行病学杂志

Diabetes has become the world's major public health problem in the 21th century.Increasing attention has been paid to the importance of healthy sleep abroad,whereas less attention has been paid to it in China.Through literature study,this paper summarizes the current status of epidemiology and laboratory research on the relationship between sleep duration and incidence of type 2 diabetes,insulin sensitivity and blood glucose control both at home and abroad,and introduces the underlying mechanisms in order to provide evidence for further studies and the prevention and management of diabetes.

Disability adjusted life years of type 2 diabetes in population in Zhejiang province, 2013 / 中华流行病学杂志

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To estimate the disease burden of type 2 diabetes in population in Zhejiang in 2013.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>According to the method in global burden of disease study (GBD) 2010, the related disability adjusted life years (DALYs), years of life lost (YLL) and years lived with disability (YLD) were calculated by using the incidence, prevalence and mortality data of type 2 diabetes in population in Zhejiang and DISMODⅡ.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>The overall DALYs of type 2 diabetes was 5.36 per 1000 population, which was higher in women (5.49 per 1000) than in men (5.24 per 1000), The population in urban area had higher DALYs (5.47 per 1000) than those in rural area (5.42 per 1000). The DALYs in old population was high, which peaked in age group 80-84 years (32.63 per 1000) with YLL/YLD of 0.62. The disease burden of type 2 diabetes was mainly caused by disability.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>The YLL of type 2 diabetes in Zhejiang was higher than the national average level.</p>

Pattern and influencing factors of leisure time physical exercises among adults in Zhejiang / 中华健康管理学杂志

Objective To understand the pattern of and influencing factors on leisure time physical exercises among adults in Zhejiang. Method Totally 17 437 residents aged 18 years and over selected by stratified cluster random sampling in Zhejiang in 2010 were investigated. Result Overall 21.82%(95%CI:17.12%-27.38%) of adults took part in leisure time physical exercises in 2010. The proportion was higher in urban (29.04%,95%CI:23.46%-35.33%) than in rural (18.81%,95%CI:12.89%-26.61%) (χ2=222.06, P<0.05) areas, and also higher in females (22.91%,95%CI:17.66%-29.15%) than in males (20.56%,95%CI:16.39%-25.48%) (χ2=13.94, P<0.05). Adults aged 18-24 and 55-74 years were more likely to take apart in physical exercises (χ2=266.73, P<0.05), and the lowest proportion was found among farmers (5.33%,95%CI:3.99%-7.11%) (χ2=2 078.40, P<0.05). These proportions both increased along with education level and family income increase (χ2=444.87, P<0.05;χ2=332.20, P<0.05). Overall 83.04%and 90.08%of physical exercisers took part in exercises at least 3 times per week and 30 minutes per time, only 30.67% of those reached moderate or vigorous intensity, and overall 5.38% (95%CI: 3.85%-7.48%) of adults took part in regular leisure time physical exercises in 2010. Multiple logistic regression showed that age, education level, occupation and chronic disease history have influence on regular physical exercises. Conclusion The leisure time physical exercises level was generally low among adults in Zhejiang. Young and middle-aged adults with less education and low income especially farmers should be put on emphasis.
