ABSTRACT
Objective@#To investigate the mortality and disease burden of diabetes in Hangzhou City from 2013 to 2021, so as to provide insights into improving diabetes prevention and control strategies.@*Methods@#Data on morbidity and mortality of diabetes in Hangzhou City from 2013 to 2021 were collected through the Chronic Disease and Death Cause Monitoring System of Hangzhou Center for Disease Control and Prevention, and the crude and age-standardized mortality (standardized by the population of the Seventh National Population Census in China in 2020) were calculated. Data on the prevalence of diabetes were collected from the China Chronic Disease and Risk Factors Surveillance (CCDRFS), and the burden of disease was evaluated by calculating years of life lost (YLL), years lived with disability (YLD) and disability-adjusted years (DALY) with reference to the methodology of the Global Burden of Disease Study (GBD). The trends in mortality and disease burden of diabetes were evaluated with the average annual percent change (AAPC). @*Results@#There were 8 686 deaths of diabetes in Hangzhou City from 2013 to 2021, with the average annual crude mortality of 13.17/105 and age-standardized mortality of 10.89/105. The crude mortality of diabetes showed a tendency towards a rise (AAPC=2.62%, P<0.05), while the trend in age-standardized mortality was not significant (P>0.05). The crude and age-standardized mortality of diabetes were higher in women than in men (14.11/105 vs. 12.21/105, 12.16/105 vs. 9.71/105; both P<0.05); however, the crude mortality in men increased more rapidly (men: AAPC=4.46%, P<0.05; women: AAPC=1.09%, P>0.05). The YLL, YLD and DALY of diabetes were 155.42, 1 246.73 and 1 402.15 thousand person-years, and the rates of YLL, YLD and DALY were 2.36, 18.90 and 21.25 person-years per thousand, respectively. The rates of YLL, YLD and DALY appeared a tendency towards a rise (AAPC=1.57%, 6.03% and 7.11%, all P<0.05). Higher rates of DALY and more remarkable increase were seen in men than in women (P<0.05; AAPC=8.37%, 5.54%, both P<0.05). @*Conclusions@# The mortality of diabetes in Hangzhou City from 2013 to 2021 is high, and the burden of disease, especially disability, is growing rapidly, with the burden of disease being more serious in men.
ABSTRACT
Objective@#To understand the situation of blood pressure control and its influencing factors in elderly patients with hypertension in Hangzhou, and to provide basis for the management of elderly patients with hypertension in community. @*Methods@#The subjects of this study were hypertension patients aged 60 years and over in Hangzhou community health management of basic public health services. Demographic data and life behaviors were collected by a questionnaire survey, physical examination and laboratory tests were carried out. The multivariate logistic regression model was used to analyze the influencing factors for blood pressure control in elderly patients with hypertension.@*Results@#A total of 109 583 people were investigated, with 50 500（46.08%） males and 59 083（53.92%） females. The control rate was 47.70% ( 52 273/109 583 ). After adjusted for age and gender, regular medication ( OR=0.874, 95%CI: 0.838-0.912 ) was the protective factor, obesity ( OR=1.291, 95%CI: 1.260-1.324 ), abnormal fasting plasma glucose ( OR=1.218-1.344, 95%CI: 1.178-1.410 ), the number of unhealthy lifestyles ( OR=1.271-1.292, 95%CI: 1.231-1.344 ), the items of dyslipidemia ( OR=1.047-1.253, 95%CI: 1.017-1.311 ), and the number of cardiovascular risk factors above ( OR=1.254-2.109, 95%CI：1.175-2.281 ) were the risk factors for blood pressure control in elderly patients with hypertension.@*Conclusions@#The control rate of elderly patients with hypertension in Hangzhou is 47.70%, which is associated with irregular medication, unhealthy lifestyle, obesity, dyslipidemia, abnormal fasting plasma glucose and clustering of these factors.
ABSTRACT
Objective@#To analyze the status and trend of fall mortality among the elderly from 2006 to 2018 in Hangzhou, and to provide basis for fall prevention and control. @*Methods@#Through the medical certificate of death in hospitals at the county level and above and community health service centers, the monitoring data of the deaths from fall among the elderly aged 60 years and above in Hangzhou from 2006 to 2018 were collected. The crude motality rate, standardized mortality rate of fall and the annual percentage change ( APC ) were calculated to examine the status and trend of fall mortality in different gender, age and areas. @*Results@#The crude mortality rate of fall among the elderly in Hangzhou was 85.60/100 000 and the standardized mortality rate was 71.42/100 000 from 2006 to 2018. The crude and standardized mortality rate from 2006 to 2018 showed increasing trends and the APCs were 3.46% and 2.33%, respectively ( P<0.05) . The crude mortality rate was 93.01/100 000 in females, which was higher than 77.82/100 000 in males ( P<0.05 ) , the APCs were 3.25% and 3.77%, respectively. The crude mortality rate of rural areas was 129.03/100 000, which was significantly higher than 60.73/100 000 of urban areas ( P<0.05 ) . The mortality rate of urban and rural areas showed increasing trends, the APCs were 5.02% and 2.43%, respectively. The crude mortality rate of fall among the elderly in Hangzhou increased gradually with age ( P<0.05 ) . @*Conclusion@#The fall mortality among the elderly in Hangzhou increased from 2006 to 2018. More efforts are needed to reduce fall mortality in females and rural population.
ABSTRACT
Objective@#To explore the epidemiological characteristics and influencing factors of abdominal obesity among primary and middle school students in Hangzhou, and to provide evidence for abdominal obesity prevention.@*Methods@#A total of 27 967 students from 711 classes 23 primary and middle schools in 4 districts and 5 counties in Hangzhou were investigated. The 90th percentile (P90) of waist circumference of the same ethnicity, age and gender was used as the diagnostic value for abdominal obesity. Chi-square test was used to identify the deference among groups. Multilevel analysis was applied on the influencing factors of abdominal obesity.@*Results@#The rate of abdominal obesity among primary and middle school students in Hangzhou was 17.69%, with urban (20.98%) higher than rural (15.61%), boys’ (20.40%) higher than girls’ (14.92%), highest in primary school students (20.83%) and lowest in high school students (15.30%). The effects of school and class on abdominal obesity among primary and middle school students were significant (P<0.01).@*@#The rate of abdominal obesity among primary and middle school students in Hangzhou was higher than national average level. In addition to the individual factors, management on healthy food and nutrition should be a high priority on every class and every school.
ABSTRACT
Alveolar bone dehiscences, which were "V" shaped defects related the margin of the alveolar bone, were common findings in different populations and decreased bony support of teeth. It was difficult to detect dehiscence during direct clinical examination. All of the previous studies on the prevalence of dehiscences were based on dry human skulls. In the current article, we evaluated the prevalence of dehiscences occurring naturally in a Chinese subpopulation, and prepared a classification of dehiscences using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT). The high prevalence rate of dehiscences and different characteristics of each category suggest that it would be helpful for clinicians who perform periodontal surgery, endodontic surgery, implant surgery or orthodontic treatment to understand which teeth are most often associated with such bony defects, and to consider the effect of severe dehiscences on their diagnosis and treatment plan.
Las dehiscencias óseas alveolares, con forma de "V" en el margen del hueso alveolar, son hallazgos comunes en diferentes poblaciones y provocan una disminución del soporte óseo de los dientes. La dehiscencia fue difícil de identificar durante la exploración clínica directa. Todos los estudios anteriores sobre la prevalencia de dehiscencia se basaron en cráneos humanos secos. En el presente artículo, se evaluó la prevalencia de dehiscencia natural ocurrido en una subpoblación de China. Realizamos una clasificación de las dehiscencias mediante tomografía computarizada cone-beam (TCCB). La alta prevalencia de dehiscencias y las diferentes características de cada categoría sugieren que esta clasificación sería de gran ayuda para los médicos que realizan cirugía periodontal, endodóntica, cirugía de implantes o tratamiento de ortodoncia, permitiendo informar sobre que dientes están más frecuentemente asociados con tales defectos óseos, y poder considerar los efectos severos de las dehiscencias severas en el diagnóstico y el plan de tratamiento.
