ABSTRACT
Objective To understand the prevalence of osteoporosis and its influence factors in residents of Chongqing, and to provide the reference for osteoporosis prevention and treatment. Methods The data were from “An epidemiological survey of osteoporosis in Chongqing in 2018”, and the multi-stage stratified cluster random sampling method was used to select 1885 subjects (≥20 years old) from 32 villages/neighborhood committee in 4 areas (countries) of Chongqing. The investigation was performed by questionnaire (sociodemographic factors, lifestyle factors, history of orthopedics) and the bone mineral density was measured by QDR 4 500A dual energy X-ray absorptiometry. The chi-square test and multi factor multi-variant logistic regression analysis were utilized to analyze the data, the used software was SPSS 25.0. Results The morbidities of osteoporosis and osteopenia in residents (>20 years old) of Chongqing in China were 12.99% and 48.70%, respectively. The osteoporosis morbidity (19.08%) in females was significantly higher than that (4.42%) in males, and increased with age. The multi-variant logistic regression indicated that women (OR=6.10, 95% CI:4.08-9.14), the past medical history of fracture (OR=1.79, 95%CI:1.18-2.73) and age (OR=16.80, 95% CI:9.19-30.77) were risk factors for osteoporosis; milk intake (OR=0.65, 95%CI:0.47-0.89), overweight (OR=0.51, 95%CI:0.36-0.93)and obesity (OR=0.30, 95%CI:0.19-0.47), as compared with ≤primary school group, junior high school group (OR=0.57, 95%CI:0.39-0.82);≥high school group (0.40, 95%CI:0.26-0.61) were considered to be protective factors for osteoporosis. Conclusion The prevalence of osteoporosis among residents with age above 50 years old of Chongqing was very high. Health education and behavior intervention should be focused on the elderly or female residents to promote the formulation of healthy lifestyle.
ABSTRACT
Objective To analyze the epidemiological characteristic of stroke incidence and mortality in Chongqing, and to provide suggestions for targeted prevention and control of stroke. Methods Data of reported cases of ischemic stroke (I63), hemorrhagic stroke (I61-I62), subarachnoid hemorrhage (I60), and unclassified stroke (I64) in Chongqing in 2018 was collected. SPSS 25.0 was used to calculate the incidence, age-standardized incidence rate (ASIR), mortality, age-standardized mortality rate (ASMR) and proportion of stroke. The incidence and mortality of stroke were compared by Chi-square test between males and females, and between central urban areas and suburban counties. Results In 2018, the incidence and ASIR of stroke were 294.61/105 and 222.43/105 in Chongqing, respectively. The mortality and ASMR of stroke were 116.34/105 and 85.81/105. The incidence, ASIR and proportion of ischemic stroke were 186.63/105, 139.17/105 and 63.35%, respectively. The incidence of ischemic stroke in male was higher than that in female (χ2=18.52, P2=29.50, P2=6.67, P=0.010). The mortality of ischemic stroke in suburban counties was higher than that in central urban areas (χ2=17.55, P2=27.64, P2=18.60, P2=23.46, P2= 43.57, P<0.001). Conclusion The incidence and mortality of stroke in Chongqing were lower than the national average levels. The incidence of ischemic stroke was higher than that of hemorrhage stroke. The mortality of hemorrhage stroke was higher than that of ischemic stroke. Men and suburban counties were the focus of stroke prevention and control in Chongqing.
ABSTRACT
Objective To analyze the awareness rate and treatment and control rate of hypertension as well as the related influencing factors among residents aged 35-75 years in Chongqing, and to provide a reference for comprehensive prevention and control of hypertension. Methods Residents between the ages of 35 and 75 years old were recruited from 8 sites of China Patient-centered Evaluative Assessment of Cardiac Events in Chongqing. All participants were interviewed with structured questionnaires, and physical examination, glucose test and lipid test were performed. The data were analyzed by SPSS 25.0. The differences in the rates of awareness, treatment and control of hypertension of different populations were compared by chi-square test. The related factors influencing the rates of awareness, treatment and control of hypertension were identified by step backward bivariate multivariate logistic regression model. Results A total of 101 036 cases were recruited into this study. The prevalence rates of dyslipidemia, hypertension and diabetes were 31.48%, 40.80% and 17.16%, respectively. The age standardized prevalence rates of dyslipidemia, hypertension and diabetes were 30.81%, 33.91% and 14.35%, respectively. The rates of awareness, treatment and control of hypertension were 45.65%, 36.03% and 11.60%, respectively. The result of multivariate logistic regression analysis indicated that factors including age, household registration, occupation, alcohol use, smoking status, body weight, central obesity, diabetes, and dyslipidemia were related to the awareness rate of hypertension. Factors including age, household registration, race, household income, alcohol use, body weight, central obesity, diabetes, and dyslipidemia were related to the treatment rate of hypertension. Factors including age, household registration, household income, alcohol use, central obesity and diabetes were related to the rate of blood pressure control. Conclusion The prevalence of hypertension was high in Chongqing, but the rate of awareness, treatment and control of hypertension was low. It is suggested that comprehensive measures should be implemented to raise the rate of awareness, treatment and control of hypertension for the prevention and control of hypertension.

ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND@#We aim to explore the association between self-reported snoring and hypertension among adults aged 30-79 in Chongqing, China.@*METHODS@#A total of 23,342 individuals aged 30-79 were included at baseline from August 2018 to January 2019, and the final sample size for the analysis was 22,423. Face-to-face interviews and physical examinations were conducted by trained investigators. Logistic regression was performed to study age-specific and gender-specific associations between snoring and hypertension.@*RESULTS@#Frequent snoring was associated with the risk of hypertension for each age and gender group, and the frequency of snoring was positively correlated with the risk for hypertension. For the three age groups (< 45, 45-59, ≥ 60), compared with the non-snoring group, those who snore often had a 64.5%, 53.3%, and 24.5% increased risk of hypertension (< 45: OR = 1.65, 95%CI 1.34-2.02; 45-59: OR = 1.53, 95%CI 1.37-1.72; ≥ 60: OR = 1.25, 95%CI 1.09-1.42), respectively. For men and women, those who snore often had a 46.8% and 97.2% increased risk of hypertension, respectively, than the non-snoring group (men: OR = 1.47, 95%CI 1.33-1.63; women: OR = 1.97, 95%CI 1.75-2.23).@*CONCLUSIONS@#People who snore frequently should pay close attention to their blood pressure levels in order to achieve early prevention of hypertension, particularly for snorers who are female and aged under 45; importance should be attached to their blood pressure control.

Objective@#To analyze the premature death probability and cause-eliminated life expectancy of cardiovascular disease, cancer, chronic respiratory disease and diabetes in Chongqing residents in 2016 so as to provide recommendation for non-communicable diseases (NCDs) prevention and control in Chongqing.@*Methods@#Death cases of Chongqing Municipality between January 1st and December 31st, 2016 were reported through death case registry system of national center for disease prevention and control. Death cases were sorted by international classification of disease (ICD-10). Mortality rate, standardized mortality rate, constituent ratio, premature death probability, life expectancy, and cause-eliminated life expectancy of four major NCDs were analyzed.@*Results@#A total of 218 004 death cases were reported in Chongqing, 2016, and the mortality rate was 731.73/100 000. Of them, a total of 179 637 death cases of the four major NCDs including cardiovascular disease, cancer, chronic respiratory disease and diabetes were reported, accounting for 82.40% of all death cases. The mortality rate and standardized mortality rate of four major NCDs was 602.95/100 000 and 455.82/100 000, respectively. The premature death probability of four major NCDs was 15.96%, and males (25.39%) had a higher premature death probability than females (10.78%). The premature death probability of cardiovascular disease, cancer, chronic respiratory disease, and diabetes were 6.01%, 8.32%, 2.05%, and 0.43%, respectively. Life expectancy would increase by 6.02, 3.19, 1.89, and 0.19 years, after eliminating cardiovascular disease, cancer, chronic respiratory disease and diabetes respectively.@*Conclusion@#The premature death probability of major NCDs was high in Chongqing, and males had a higher premature death probability than females did. Intervention and health management of the population should be conducted according to different gender-based risk factors to reduce the premature death probability.
ABSTRACT
<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To evaluate the influence of extreme ambient temperature on mortality and years of life lost (YLL) in Chongqing.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>The daily mortality, meteorology and air pollution index data in Chongqing from the 1(st) January 2010 to the 31(st) December 2013 were collected. Distributed lag non-linear model (DLNM) was used to assess the influence of daily ambient temperature on daily number of deaths and daily YLL respectively. The delayed and cumulative effects of extreme temperature on sex, age, and cause-specific mortality were also assessed.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>The relationships between ambient temperature and non-accidental, cardiovascular disease and respiratory disease mortalities and YLL were U-shaped or W-shaped. The effect of heat was obvious on that day, peaked on day 7, and lasted for two weeks, whereas the effect of cold was obvious a week later and lasted for a month. As 1 ℃ increase of ambient temperature, the cumulative relative risks (CRR) of high temperature across lag 0-7 days on non-accidental, respiratory disease and cardiovascular disease mortalities were 1.05 (95%CI: 1.03-1.07), 1.08 (95%CI: 1.05-1.11) and 1.05 (95%CI: 1.01-1.09) respectively. The effects of heat on YLL for each cause were 23.81 (95%CI: 12.31-35.31), 14.34 (95%CI: 8.98-19.70) and 4.43 (95%CI: 1.64-7.21), respectively. On cold days, 1 ℃ decrease of ambient temperature was correlated with an increase in CRR of 1.06 (95%CI: 1.04-1.08), 1.09 (95%CI:1.06-1.12) and 1.06 (95%CI: 1.02-1.11) from lag 0 to 14 for non-accidental, respiratory disease and cardiovascular disease mortalities, respectively. The estimated YLL were 23.34 (95%CI: 10.04-36.64), 16.39 (95%CI: 10.19-22.59) and 2.61 (95%CI: -0.61-5.82). People aged ≥65 years tend to have higher CRR and YLL than those aged <65 years. On high temperature days, the CRR in women was higher than that in men, while the YLL in women was lower than that in men. On low temperature days, both the CRR and YLL in women were higher than those in men.</p><p><b>CONCLUSIONS</b>Both high and low ambient temperature have adverse health effects. People aged ≥65 years are more sensitive to both high and low ambient temperature. Younger men are more sensitive to high ambient temperature and women and elder men are sensitive to low ambient temperature. It is necessary to take targeted measures to protect the population in Chongqing from the adverse influence of extreme ambient temperature.</p>
