RESUMO
Objective Smoking is the most important risk factor for COPD.Understanding the smoking rate,current smoking rate,average age to start smoking and average daily consumption of cigarettes among people aged ≥40 years in China can provide scientific evidence for the effective control and prevention of COPD.Methods Data were from COPD surveillance in China (2014 to 2015) which covered 31 provinces,autonomous regions and municipalities.A total of 75 107 adults aged ≥40 years selected through multi-stage stratified cluster sampling from 125 surveillance sites (county/district) were surveyed by electronic questionnaire during face to face interviews.The smoking rate and other smoking index were estimated by using weighting complex sampling design.Results The smoking rate and current smoking rate were 40.0% (95%CI:38.5%-42.0%) and 31.0% (95%CI:29.7%-32.0%),respectively,among the Chinese aged ≥40 years in 2014.The smoking rate and current smoking rate in males (74.1% and 57.6%) were much higher than those in females (5.4% and 4.0%).And the two rates were significantly higher in rural area (41.2% and 32.4%) than in urban area (38.8% and 29.5%).The mean age of smokers to start smoking was 20.1 (95%CI:19.7-20.5) years.The younger the smokers were,the earlier their average age to start smoking was (The ages to start smoking for smokers aged 40-,50-,60-,≥70 years were 18.3,19.2,20.9 and 23.1 years,respectively).Average daily cigarette consumption of current daily smokers was 18.9 (95% CI:18.1-19.7) cigarettes,and the daily cigarette consumption was higher in males (19.3 cigarettes) than in females (12.5 cigarettes).Conclusion The smoking rate in males aged ≥40 years is high in China.Compared with urban area,the smoking rate in rural area is higher,posing a big challenge for COPD control and prevention.
RESUMO
Objective To describe and analyze the passive smoking exposure level in adults aged ≥40 years in China.Methods A total of 75 107 adults from 125 sites of COPD surveillance points in China were surveyed by electronic questionnaire during face to face interviews.After comprehensive weighting of the samples,the passive smoking exposure level was analyzed.Results The passive smoking exposure rate of the adults aged ≥40 years was 44.9% (95%CI:42.3%-47.5%).The exposure rate was highest in those aged from 40 to 49 years (51.0%,95%CI:47.9%-54.1%) in term of age groups,in those with senior high school education level and above (48.6%,95% CI:44.9%-52.2%) in term of education level,and in office workers (57.7%,95%CI:51.8%-63.7%) in term of occupation.The adults reporting passive smoking exposure every days in a week accounted for 27.7% (95%CI:25.5%-29.8%),and those reporting household passive smoking exposure accounted for 28.3% (95% CI:26.2%-30.5%).Logistic regression analysis showed that the passive smoking exposure level was different in different age groups and occupation groups.Conclusion The passive smoking exposure level is still high in adults in China.Age and occupation are the influencing factors of passive smoking exposure level.
RESUMO
Objective To understand the current status of dust and/or harmful gas exposure in adults aged ≥40 years and corresponding protection in China,and provide evidence for strengthening the occupational protection against dust and harmful gas exposure.Methods The data were obtained from 2014-2015 COPD surveillance in China.A total of 75 107 adults aged ≥40 years selected through multi-stage stratified cluster sampling from 125 surveillance points in 31 provinces (autonomous regions and municipalities) were surveyed in face to face interviews.Occupational exposure was defined as occupational exposure to dust and/or harmful gas for more than 1 year.The weighted percentages of exposure were estimated by using complex sampling design.Results Among eligible 71 061 participants,the exposure rate of dust and/or harmful gas was 46.3%.The exposure rate in rural area (51.7%) was significantly higher than that in urban area (40.3%),and the exposure rate in the western area was higher than those in the eastern and central areas (P<0.001).Among the groups with different education level,the exposure rate in those with education level of primary school and below was highest (49.7%,P<0.001).The exposure protection rate was 26.7%,and the exposure protection rate was highest in the eastern area (29.9%),followed by that in the central area (27.0%) and that in the western area (22.9%) The exposure protection rate in urban area was significantly higher than that in rural area,and the exposure protection rate was lowest in those with education level of primary school and below.The regular exposure protection was taken by only 50.7% of the adults surveyed.Conclusion The exposure rate of dust and/or harmful gas is high in China,while the exposure protection rate is very low.Health education,occupational protection and supervision should be strengthened among those with low education level,and those living in rural area and in the western area.
RESUMO
Objective To analyze the status and distribution characteristics of household polluting fuel use in China.Methods The data were collected from the adults aged ≥40 years who were recruited through multi-stage stratified cluster sampling in 2014-2015 COPD surveillance conducted in 31 provinces (autonomous regions and municipalities) in China.A total of 75 107 adults aged ≥40 years in 125 surveillance points were surveyed in face to face interview.Polluting fuels included biomass fuels (wood,dung,crop residues and charcoal),coal (including coal dust and lignite) and kerosene.The weighted percentage of family using polluting fuels,combustion method for cooking or heating and ventilation installation with 95% CI were estimated by complex sampling design.Results According to the survey results from 75 075 adults,the percentage of family using polluting fuels for cooking or heating was 59.9% (95%CI:54.2%-65.7%),the percentage in rural areas was significantly higher than that in urban areas (P<0.001).As for different polluting fuels,the percentage of using only biomass fuels for cooking or heating was 25.9% (95%CI:20.5%-31.3%),the percentage of using only coal (including kerosene) was 18.9% (95%CI:13.2%-24.7%),and the percentage of using both biomass fuels and coal was 15.1% (95%CI:10.8%-19.4%).Among seven geographic areas in China,the percentages of using biomass fuels ranged from 53.8% in southern China to 23.0% in northem China (P=0.039),the percentages of using coal (including kerosene) ranged from 59.5% in northwestern China to 22.3% in southern China (P=0.001).Among the families using polluting fuels,the percentages of mainly using traditional open fires and stoves were 21.3% (95%CI:16.9%-25.8%)and 31.5% (95%CI:25.8%-37.2%),respectively;the percentage of having ventilation installation was 72.7% (95%CI:66.9%-78.5%).Conclusions Household polluting fuel use is common in China,but differs with area,traditional fuel combustion method is widely used,the coverage of ventilation installation need to be improved.In order to promote COPD prevention and control,it is necessary to develop strategies on fuels and fuel combustion method improvement to reduce indoor air pollution resulted from household fuel combustion.

Objective: To understand the distribution and characteristics of people aged ≥40 years who are at high risk of COPD in China and provide evidence for COPD prevention and control. Methods: The survey was conducted among the subjects selected through multi-stage stratified cluster sampling from 31 provinces (autonomous regions and municipalities) in China for 2014-2015 national chronic obstructive pulmonary disease surveillance. A total of 75 107 people aged ≥40 years in 125 surveillance points were surveyed in face to face interviews. Subjects who met at least one of the following conditions, including chronic respiratory symptoms, exposure to risk factors, medical history of respiratory diseases, and family history, were defined as population at high risk. The weighted proportion of the population at high risk of COPD and 95%CI were estimated by using complex sampling design. Results: Among eligible 74 296 subjects, the proportion of population at high risk of COPD was 89.5% (95%CI: 87.8%-91.2%). The proportion significantly increased with age (P<0.001). The proportion of the population at high risk was significantly higher in men than in women (P<0.001), and in rural area than in urban area (P<0.001). The highest proportion of population at high risk was observed in men in rural area in western China. The proportion of population at high risk of COPD who met at least two conditions was 32.0% (95%CI:29.7%-34.2%), the proportion of those who met at least three conditions was 7.4% (95%CI: 6.6%- 8.3%), and the proportion of those who met all the conditions was 1.5% (95%CI: 1.2%-1.8%). Among population at high risk of COPD, those who only had exposure to one risk factor accounted for 61.7% (95%CI: 59.8%-63.7%). Conclusion: About 90% of people aged ≥40 years in China are at high risk for COPD. It is necessary to conduct population-based screening for COPD and take comprehensive measures to reduce prevalence of risk factors.

Objective: To understand the awareness of knowledge about COPD and related factors in residents aged ≥40 years in China. Methods: Through multi-stage stratified cluster sampling, residents aged ≥40 years were selected from 125 sites of COPD surveillance (2014-2015) in 31 provinces of China for a face to face questionnaire survey. The demographic characteristics and awareness rate of knowledge about COPD among 75 082 subjects were described as frequency and percentage. The awareness rate of knowledge about COPD and its 95% confidence interval (CI) among the residents aged ≥40 years were estimated with complicated sampling weights. Meanwhile, the knowledge awareness related factors were screened in complicated sampling data. Results: The awareness rate of COPD was 9.2%. The awareness rate of pulmonary function test was 3.6% and the awareness rate of COPD-related knowledge was 5.8%. All of the awareness rates were associated with gender, age, education level and occupation. Besides, the awareness rate of pulmonary function test and COPD-related knowledge were related with living area. Compared with females, the ORs of the three awareness rates among males were 0.88, 0.81 and 0.78. Compared with the residents aged ≥70 years, the ORs of the three awareness rates among those aged 60-69 years were 1.28, 1.08 and 1.51. Compared with the residents with education level of primary school or below, the ORs of the three awareness rates among those with college degree or above were 2.28, 3.43 and 3.14. The OR of the awareness rate of pulmonary function test among the residents in the eastern area was 1.77 compared with those in the central area. The ORs of the awareness rate of COPD-related knowledge among the residents in the eastern and western areas were 1.95 and 2.16 compared with those in the central area(all above P<0.05). Among COPD symptoms, the awareness rate of dyspnea was highest (67.9%), and among the risk factors for COPD, the awareness rate of smoking was highest (81.3%). The source of awareness of COPD for most residents was television program (38.2%). Conclusion: The awareness rate of knowledge about COPD was low in residents aged ≥40 years in China in 2014. It is necessary to strengthen the health education about COPD to improve the prevention and control of the disease.

Objective: To understand the performance of spirometry examination in adults aged ≥40 years and provide evidence for the improvement of comprehensive prevention and control of COPD and the evaluation on the effects of current prevention and control measures. Methods: The study subjects were those included in national COPD surveillance in China during 2014-2015. The surveillance used a multi-stage, stratified cluster sampling strategy and a total of 125 surveillance points in 31 provinces were covered. A total of 75 107 adults aged ≥40 years received a questionnaire survey in face to face interviews to collect the information about their acceptance of spirometry examination in previous years. The estimated rate (95%CI) of spirometry examination was calculated based on complex sampling weight design. Results: A total of 74 591 subjects were included in the analyses. The estimated rate of spirometry examination was 4.5% (95%CI: 3.7%-5.2%), and it was significantly higher in men than in women (P<0.001), in urban population than in rural population (P<0.001). The rate of spirometry examination increased with the increase of education level (P<0.001). The rate of spirometry examination was highest in retirees (10.8%, 95%CI: 8.2%-13.3%), and lowest in those working in the industry of agriculture, forestry, animal husbandry, fishery and water conservancy (2.4%, 95%CI: 2.0%-2.9%). The rate of spirometry examination was high in those with previous chronic respiratory diseases and respiratory symptoms, i.e. 13.4% (95%CI: 10.5%-16.4%) and 15.0% (95%CI: 10.5%-19.4%) respectively. The rate of spirometry examination in former smokers was 7.4% (95%CI: 6.0%-8.8%), slightly higher than those in current smokers and never smokers, 4.7% (95%CI: 3.9%-5.5%) and 3.9% (95%CI: 3.0%-4.7%), respectively. In different population groups, the rate of spirometry examination was lowest in rural population who had received no formal education (1.8%, 95%CI: 1.2%-2.3%) and highest in urban population with respiratory symptoms (20.2%, 95%CI: 12.6%-27.8%). Conclusion: The rate of spirometry examination is extremely low in adults aged ≥40 years in China, therefore effective measures should be taken to increase the rate of spirometry examination in adults in China.

Objective To analyze the national and provincial disease burden on stomach cancer in the Chinese population,in 1990 and 2013.Methods Data related to province-specific burden of disease in China was used to analyze the standardized incidence and mortality of stomach cancer in 2013.Parameters as incidence,mortality,disability-adjusted life years (DALY),years of life lost due to premature mortality (YLL) and years lived with disability (YLD) on stomach cancer in China in 1990 and 2013,were analyzed while the standardized incidence and mortality of stomach cancer in 1990 and 2013 and the changing patterns in each province were described.Results In 2013,there were 371 100 new cases of stomach cancer and 317 800 cases died from stomach cancer in China.Figures on the standardized incidence (26.84/100 000),mortality rate (23.55/100 000) and DALY rate (464.47/100 000) all increased with age.Between 1990 and 2013,the standardized incidence rates in men were all higher than that in women (2.03-2.67 times) but both showed a decreasing trend.Under the reported figures,317 800 people died from stomach cancer in 2013,with an increase of 13.15%.The number of deaths was 182 700,in 1990.From 1990 to 2013,the standardized mortality rate,DALY and DALY rate decreased in both genders,with more seen in women than in men.The top three provinces that having the highest stomach cancer standardized incidences and mortality in 2013 were Qinghai,Anhui,Gansu.The top three provinces with the most reduction of figures appeared in Tianjin,Shanghai and Zhejiang.Compared with those in 1990,the standardized mortality decreased in all the provinces,in 2013.Conclusions The disease burden of stomach cancer in China remained at high level in 2013.Compared with those in 1990,the disease burden of stomach cancer decreased in 2013.The standardized mortality of stomach cancer in all the provinces had decreased but the provincial differences still existed.
RESUMO
Objective To analyze the disease burden of colorectal cancer in the Chinese people in 1990 and 2013.Methods Data from the estimation of 2013 Chinese Sub-national Burden of Disease Study was used,to analyze the incidence and mortality of colorectal cancer in China,in 1990 and 2013,among all the Chinese people.Data on the years of lifte lost due to premature mortality (YLL),years lived with disability (YLD) and disability-adjusted life years (DALY) of colorectal cancer in China,in 1990 and 2013 was also used.Related death rates,DALY and DALY rates were compared.Results The standardized incidence rate of colorectal cancer among Chinese people increased by 66.83% from 12.15/100 000 in 1990 to 20.27/100 000 in 2013 (72.82% for men and 55.26% for women).The standardized mortality rate of colorectal cancer increased by 4.73% from 10.57/100 000 in 1990 to 11.07/100 000 in 2013 (with 9.03% increase for men but 3.12% decrease for women).A total number of 148 000 people died from colorectal cancer in 2013,with an increase of 90.08% (105.36% for men and 72.14% for women) compared with the number of 77 900,in 1990.Related data on DALY,YLL and YLD due to colorectal cancer appeared as 3 331.6 thousand person years,3 200.7 thousand person years and 130.9 thousand person years,respectively in 2013,with YLL as the vast majority of DALY.Compared with 2 019.1 thousand person years in 1990,DALY showed an increase of 65.01% in 2013.However,the standardized DALY rate reduced by 6.00% from 238.54/100 000 in 1990 to 224.23/100 000 in 2013.Parameters as the mortality rotes,DALY and DALY rates appeared all higher in men than in women,in every age group.Conclusions The disease burden of colorectal cancer in China remained at high levels in 2013.Compared with the data in 1990,the total disease burden on colorectal cancer showed an increase while the DALY rate and YLL rate showed a decline in 2013.
