Mortality and disease burden of diabetes in Hangzhou City from 2013 to 2021 / 预防医学

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.
