ABSTRACT
Objective@# To investigate the incidence and trends in incidence of stroke among residents in Lianyungang City, Jiangsu Province from 2014 to 2020, so as to provide insights into stroke control. @*Methods@#The stroke morbidity data in Lianyungang City from 2014 to 2020 were captured from Lianyungang Municipal System for Monitoring of Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Diseases, and standardized by the sixth national population census data in China in 2010. The trends in stroke incidence were evaluated using average annual percentage change (AAPC), and the gender-, age-, region- and disease type-specific incidence and trends in incidence of stroke were descriptively analyzed. @*Results@#Totally 162 423 new stroke cases were diagnosed in Lianyungang City from 2014 to 2020 new case, and the annual mean crude and standardized incidence rates were 435.32/105 and 357.28/105, which both appeared a tendency towards a rise (AAPC=12.61%, t=39.098, P<0.001; AAPC=9.91%, t=6.123, P<0.001) . The standardized incidence of stroke was significantly higher in men than in women (389.63/105 vs. 327.17/105; χ2=4.056, P=0.044). The crude incidence of stroke appeared a tendency towards a rise with age among residents (χ2trend=258.219, P<0.001), and appeared a tendency towards a rise among residents at ages of <35 (AAPC=22.52%, t=6.723, P<0.001), 35 to 64 (AAPC=9.78%, t=7.867, P<0.001) and 65 years and older (AAPC=10.24%, t=5.156, P<0.001). The crude incidence was higher in rural areas than in urban areas (437.72/105 vs. 425.31/105; χ2=20.709, P<0.001). Ischemic stroke was the predominant type (139 680 cases, 86.00% of all cases), and both the crude and standardized incidence appeared a tendency towards a rise (AAPC=13.79%, t=16.865, P<0.001; AAPC=10.88%, t=5.128, P<0.001). @*Conclusion@# The incidence of stroke appeared a tendency towards a rise among residents living in Lianyungang City from 2014 to 2020. Men, middle-age and elderly residents and rural residents are high-risk populations for stroke control.
ABSTRACT
Objective@#To investigate the prevalence and related factors of obesity and central obesity among 35-75 year-old population in Jiangsu Province. @*Methods@#During 2015-2017,83 530 eligible subjects aged 35-75 years from six study sites of Jiangsu Province were interviewed and examined. The data of demography,lifestyles,disease history,height,weight and waistline were collected. Logistic regression analysis was conducted for the influencing factors for obesity and central obesity.@*Results@#A total of 83 393 residents completed the study,with a response rate of 99.84%. The prevalence of overweight,obesity and central obesity was 43.35%（standardized rate：35.90%）,20.02%（19.48%）and 59.93%（57.03%）. The results of multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that females（OR=0.822,95%CI：0.786-0.859;OR=0.900,95%CI：0.851-0.952;OR=1.130,95%CI：1.083-1.179）,45-75 years old（OR：1.120-1.731,95%CI：1.102-1.881）,graduating from high school or above（OR：0.767-0.902,95%CI：0.721-0.943）,living in urban areas（OR：1.530-2.077,95%CI：1.284-3.007）,smoking（OR：0.724-0.855,95%CI：0.678-0.898）,drinking （OR：1.125-1.179,95%CI：1.076-1.235）,hypertension（OR：1.884-3.461,95%CI：1.821-3.613）,diabetes（OR：1.363-1.758,95%CI：1.305-1.851）, dyslipidemia（OR：1.478-1.870,95%CI：1.429-1.851）were associated with overweight,obesity and central obesity. @*Conclusion@#The standardized prevalence rates of overweight,obesity and central obesity among 35-75 year-old population in Jiangsu Province are 35.90%,19.48% and 57.03%,respectively. Gender,age,education,residence,smoking,drinking,hypertension,diabetes and dyslipidemia are related factors.
ABSTRACT
Objective To analyze the changes in the composition of hospitalization of thyroid disease in Lianyungang City from 2002 to 2010,to learn the impact of iodine intake on thyroid disease in Lianyungang City after implementing universal salt iodization (USI),and to get epidemiologic evidence for prevention and control of iodine deficiency disorders scientifically.Methods Medical reports of the patients with thyroid disease were collected from hospitals at county level and above institutions in Lianyungang City from 2002 to 2010.Monitoring results of household iodized salt were also collected from five counties (districts) in Lianyungang City.The changes in the composition of hospitalization of thyroid disease were analyzed,and the relationship between thyroid disease and iodized salt was studied.Results ① A total of 3 559 patients with thyroid disease were enrolled in the study,the ratio between male and female was 1 ∶ 3.36.Mean age was (46.81 ± 14.94) years old and the peak age was from 40 to 60 years old.② Among the hospitalized patients with thyroid disease,the proportion of goiter patients,hyperthyroidism patients,thyroiditis patients,hypothyroidism and other thyroid disorders was 41.64％ (1 482/3 559),40.07％ (1 426/3 559),6.83％ (243/3 559),6.21％ (221/3 559) and 5.25％ (187/3 559),respectively.③In 2002-2010,the hospitalization rate of thyroid disease showed an upward trend (x2 =460.12,P＜ 0.01),and the hospitalization rates of hypothyroidism,goiter,hyperthyroidism,thyroiditis and other thyroid disorders were all increased year by year (x2 =50.54,281.91,85.15,19.51 and 65.01,all P ＜ 0.01).④From 2002 to 2006,among the patients with thyroid disease,the proportion of hyperthyroidism was the highest,and the range of values was from 42.03％ (124/295) to 53.02％ (114/215).Followed by goiter,and the range of values was from 34.55％ (142/411) to 39.25％ (73/186).From 2007 to 2010,the proportion of goiter became the highest,and the range of values was from 42.11％ (232/551) to 49.57％ (291/587).Followed by hyperthyroidism,and the range of values was from 33.05％ (194/587) to 40.47％ (223/551).⑤From 2002 to 2010,the coverage of iodized salt and the consumption rate of qualified iodized salt both increased year by year (x2 =183.75,211.99,all P ＜ 0.01).⑥There were positive correlations between the hospitalization rates of thyroid disease,hypothyroidism,goiter,other thyroid disorders and the coverage of iodized salt,and the consumption rate of qualified iodized salt (rs =0.83,0.93,0.82,0.87,0.83,0.93,0.74 and 0.91,all P ＜ 0.05).⑦There was a positive correlation between the hospitalization rate of hyperthyroidism and the consumption rate of qualified iodized salt (rs =0.72,P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions There are some changes in the composition of hospitalization of thyroid disease in Lianyungang city from 2002 to 2010.Iodine intake may affect the hospitalization rate of thyroid disease.
