Abstract:
Objective:To investigate the prevalence of major chronic diseases among residents in Xiamen City, Fujian Province, so as to provide insights into enhancing the prevention and control of chronic diseases.
Methods:The residents aged 18 years and older and lived for 6 months and more were selected from 6 districts in Xiamen City from 2021 to 2022 using the stratified random sampling method. Demographic information, disease history, blood pressure, fasting blood glucose and blood cholesterol were collected through questionnaire surveys, physical examination and laboratory tests. The prevalence rates of hypertension, diabetes and hypercholesterolemia were calculated and standardized using the 2020 National Population Census data, and were analyzed by age and gender.
Results:Totally 22 289 residents were investigated, including 10 444 males (46.86%) and 11 845 females (53.14%). The prevalence rates of hypertension, diabetes and hypercholesterolemia were 15.35%, 4.30% and 10.45%, and the standardized prevalence rates were 16.25%, 4.81% and 10.21%, respectively. The standardized prevalence rates of hypertension, diabetes and hypercholesterolemia in males were 19.20%, 5.71% and 9.97%, respectively, and were higher than those in females, which were 13.62%, 4.03% and 10.29%, respectively (all P<0.05). The crude prevalence rates of hypertension and diabetes in males aged 18 to 59 years were higher than those in females, the crude prevalence rate of hypercholesterolemia in males aged 18 to 49 years was higher than that in females, and the crude prevalence rate of hypercholesterolemia aged 50 years and over in males was lower than that in females (all P<0.05).
Conclusion:From 2017 to 2022, the prevalence rates of hypertension, diabetes, and hypercholesterolemia in males were higher than those in females in Xiamen City, while the prevalence rate of hypercholesterolemia in females was higher than that in males after the age of 50 years.
