[Construction and application of comprehensive system of chronic diseases surveillance in Zhejiang province].

To construct a non-communicable disease system recommended by WHO, develop the key techniques and promote their applications, obtain the main health indicators and understand the prevalence of chronic diseases, and provide support for the prevention, control and research of chronic diseases. Based on factor analysis, K-means clustering and multi-cluster random sampling, 30 typical sampling areas at provincial level were designed and constructed; By referring to WHO's Non-communicable Disease Surveillance Framework and the American behavioral risk factor sampling and questionnaire and combined with China's actual needs, a comprehensive surveillance system for chronic diseases, covering morbidity and mortality, risk factor exposure and community management and control of chronic diseases, was established, a "5+12+1" quality control system for surveillance data collection, management, analysis and feedback was formed and a three-level surveillance information management platform and information technology construction standards in the province were established, resulting the integration of life registration, chronic disease case reporting and community chronic disease management. Using these key techniques, we have obtained high-quality surveillance data of the whole province, produced the main health indicators, carried out research of chronic diseases, and analyze the prevalence and changing trend of the main chronic diseases and related risk factors to boost the government's practical projects for the reform of the people's livelihood and facilitate the construction of "Healthy Zhejiang". The successful experiences and key techniques have been applied in the construction of chronic disease surveillance system in some provinces in China.

[Analysis of correlation of community management index of essential hypertension and type 2 diabetes with probability of premature mortality caused by major non-communicable diseases in Zhejiang Province].

Objective: To evaluate the correlation of community management index of essential hypertension and type 2 diabetes with the probability of premature mortality of major chronic diseases. Methods: From 2016 to 2018, the management of essential hypertension and type 2 diabetes were obtained from annual report of comprehensive prevention and control of chronic diseases in communities of Zhejiang province. The death data of chronic diseases were obtained from Information Management System of Chronic Diseases of Zhejiang province and annual population data were obtained from Public Security Bureau of Zhejiang Province. The management of essential hypertension and type 2 diabetes in communities of Zhejiang Province from 2016 to 2018 was described. The death status of major chronic diseases, including cardiovascular diseases, malignant tumors, diabetes and chronic respiratory diseases, in the same period was also described. Spearman correlation analysis and linear regression model were used to explore the correlation of community management of essential hypertension and type 2 diabetes with the probability of premature mortality of major chronic diseases. Results: The number of essential hypertension patients under standardized management, blood pressure control and regular medication increased from 3.127 3, 2.811 5 and 3.569 7 million in 2016 to 3.355 9, 3.151 8 and 4.010 6 million in 2018, respectively. The number of type 2 diabetes patients with standardized management, blood glucose control and regular medication increased from 0.805 5, 0.687 5 and 0.913 4 million in 2016 to 0.912 6, 0.798 7 and 1.064 8 million in 2018, respectively. The standardized mortality rate of chronic diseases decreased from 403.07/100 000 in 2016 to 380.07/100 000 in 2018. The proportion of premature deaths of chronic diseases decreased from 28.39% in 2016 to 26.90% in 2018. The proportion of deaths from major chronic diseases in all chronic diseases decreased from 90.96% in 2016 to 90.69% in 2018.The probability of premature mortality decreased from 10.68% in 2016 to 9.67% in 2018. The spearman correlation analysis showed that the blood pressure control and regular drug use were negatively correlated with the probability of premature death of major chronic diseases (r values were -0.367 and -0.392; P values were 0.035 and 0.024). According to the linear regression model analysis, with increase of 100 000 of essential hypertension control cases or regular medication use cases of type 2 diabetes, the probability of premature death of major chronic diseases decreased by 0.47% (95%CI: 0.39%, 0.54%) or 1.31% (95%CI: 1.12%, 1.50%), respectively. Conclusion: From 2016 to 2018, the community management of essential hypertension and type 2 diabetes was negatively correlated with probability of premature death of major chronic diseases in Zhejiang province.

[Estimation on the health life expectancy of adults in Zhejiang province, 2016].

Objective: To estimate the health-adjusted life expectancy (HALE) of adults in Zhejiang province and evaluate the health status of the adults. Methods: This study was based on the mortality data collected from Zhejiang Chronic Disease Surveillance Information and Management System, and mortality rates from the underreporting survey and self-reported health data in 2016. Hierarchical Ordered Probit (HOPIT) model was used to estimate the severity-weighted prevalence of disability. Sullivan's method was used to calculate the HALE. Results: After adjustment by HOPIT model, the severity-weighted prevalence of disability increased significantly with age (χ(2)=5 795.81,P<0.001), and it was higher in females than in males (χ(2)=5 353.27, P<0.001). The life expectancy and self-evaluated HALE were 59.08 years and 48.68 years, respectively, in those aged ≥20 years, the difference was 10.40 years due to disability. The proportion of HALE loss due to disability in the total life expectancy was 17.61%, and it increased with age. HALE was higher in males than in females (49.21 years vs. 48.14 years), and in urban residents than in rural residents (49.92 years vs. 47.43 years). Conclusion: The proportion of loss of HALE in the total life expectancy in adults was high in Zhejiang, and it higher in males than in females, in urban residents than rural residents. Programs on improving health care in women and rural residents should be promoted.

[Impact of diabetes prevalence and mortality on health life expectancy among residents in Zhejiang province].

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.

[Morbidity and mortality of malignant tumor in Zhejiang province, 2014].

OBJECTIVE: To analyze the morbidity and mortality of malignant tumor in Zhejiang province in 2014. METHODS: The data were collected from Zhejiang provincial chronic disease surveillance system in 2014. The crude rate, age-standardized rate, cumulative rate(0-74 years old), cut rate(35-64 years old), age-specific and area-specific morbidity/mortality as well as the constitution of top 10 leading cancers were then calculated and analyzed. The age-standardized rate was calculated according to the standard population in China in 1982 and the Segi' s world standard population. RESULTS: The crude morbidity was 348.80/100 000(370.74/100 000 in males and 326.51/100 000 in females). The age-standardized morbidity according to the standard population in China and according to world standard population were 168.84/100 000 and 217.23/100 000 respectively, the cumulative morbidity was 24.66% and the cut morbidity was 376.40/100 000. Age-specific morbidity in age group 0-34 years remained low; however, the morbidity increased obviously in age group ≥35 years, increased more rapidly in age group ≥50 years and finally reached the peak in age group 80-84 years(1 618.20/100 000). The morbidity of malignant tumor, age-standardized morbidity(China standard)and age-standardized morbidity(world standard)were 381.81/100 000, 185.15/100 000 and 236.27/100 000 respectively in urban area, and 330.23/100 000 , 159.47/100 000 and 206.29/100 000, respectively in rural area. The crude mortality was 189.08/100 000(248.57/100 000 in males, 128.72/100 000 in females), and the age-standardized mortality according to China population and world population were 97.56/100 000 and 135.54/100 000 respectively. The cumulative mortality was 15.08%, and the cut mortality was 162.75/100 000. Age-specific mortality increased in age group 45-49 years(92.29/1000 000)and reached the peak in age group ≥85 years(2 263.70/100 000). The mortality was higher in rural area(190.60/100 000)than in urban area(186.38/100 000). The leading cancers were lung cancer, colorectum cancer, thyroid cancer, stomach cancer and liver cancer, accounting for 58.64% of the total. Lung cancer, liver cancer, stomach cancer, colorectum cancer and esophagus cancer were the major cancers causing deaths, accounting for 70.72% of all the total. CONCLUSION: The leading cancers were lung cancer, colorectum cancer, thyroid cancer, stomach cancer and liver cancer in Zhejiang in 2014, close attention should be paid to thyroid cancer in women. The disease burden of malignant tumor is increasing,it is necessary for health department to take effective measures to reduce the disease burden caused by malignant tumor.

Rapidly rising incidence of Type 1 diabetes in children and adolescents aged 0-19 years in Zhejiang, China, 2007 to 2013.

AIMS: To investigate the incidence rates and trends in Type 1 diabetes in children and adolescents aged 0-19 years in the registered Zhejiang population over the period 2007-2013 by age, sex and calendar year. METHODS: In total, 611 individuals with newly diagnosed Type 1 diabetes were identified from 30 districts in Zhejiang province over the study period. Annual incidence and 95% confidence intervals (CI) by age group and sex were calculated per 100 000 person-years. Trends in diabetes incidence and the associations of age and sex with Type 1 diabetes were assessed using Poisson regression models. RESULTS: The mean annual age-standardized incidence of diabetes was 2.02/100 000 person-years (95% CI: 1.92-2.12), with an average annual increase of 12.0% (95% CI: 7.6-16.6%) over the study period. The risk for Type 1 diabetes in girls was estimated to be 1.25 (95% CI: 1.07-1.47) times higher than that in boys. Compared with those aged 0-4 years, the 5-9, 10-14 and 15-19 years age groups were at significantly greater risk, with adjusting incidence rate ratios of 3.54, 6.58 and 5.39, respectively. The mean age at diagnosis decreased significantly from 12.85 years in 2007 to 11.21 years in 2013. A steep rise in diabetes incidence was observed in the under 5 years age group, which showed the greatest increase at 33.61%. CONCLUSIONS: The incidence of diabetes in Zhejiang was relatively low, although rapidly rising trends have been found in recent years, particularly in younger children. Further monitoring and research are urgently required to better understand possible environmental risk factors and formulate preventive strategies.
