Epidemic status of patients with hypertension and diabetes among adults aged 35 years and older in Shanghai / 上海预防医学

ABSTRACT

Objective:To understand the epidemic status of patients with hypertension and diabetes among residents aged ≥35 years in Shanghai. Methods:The data of "Monitoring of Chronic Diseases and Behavioral Risk Factors in Shanghai in 2013" were used for analysis. Residents aged ≥35 years were selected to analyze the prevalence， awareness， treatment and control in patients with hypertension and diabetes. Results:The prevalence rate of patients with both hypertension and diabetes was 11.25% （95%CI：10.29%-12.29%） among residents aged ≥35 years in Shanghai. The older the age was， the higher the prevalence rated. The rate was the highest in urban area， second in rural area， and the lowest in urban-rural area. Education level of senior high school or above had lower rate than junior high school or below. The non-occupational group had the highest rate and the non-agricultural occupation group had the lowest. The widowed/separated/divorced groups had the highest rate and the married group had the lowest. The rate in obese people was the highest and normal people was the lowest. People with sleep time ≥6 h had a lower rate than those with sleep <6 h. All the above differences were statistically significant （χ2=890.98， 28.91， 61.92， 315.34， 123.72， 441.45， 8.77，all P<0.05）. The awareness rate was 50.09% （95%CI：46.54%-53.64%）， the highest in 60-74 years old group and the lowest in 35-44 years old group. The awareness rate in urban area was higher than that in the urban-rural junction， and the rural area was the lowest. The treatment rate was 45.67% （95%CI：42.45%-48.92%） and the age was proportional to the treatment rate. The treatment rate from high to low in order was city， urban and urban-rural junction， rural areas. The differences in age， region awareness rate and treatment rate were statistically significant （χ2=43.27， 35.19， 37.59， 37.56，all P<0.05）. Control rates was 6.45% （95%CI：5.17%-8.01%）， 60-74 age group had the highest， and the age group from 35 to 44 years old had the lowest， and the difference was statistically significant （χ2=20.35，P<0.05）. The treatment control rate was 14.11% （95%CI：11.54%-17.15%）. Conclusion:The prevalence rate of patients with co-existing hypertension and diabetes in Shanghai residents is high， the awareness rate and treatment rate are general， and the control rate is low. It is urgent to improve the comprehensive prevention and treatment level of patients with hypertension and diabetes.
