Abstract:

Methods The prevalence of eight NCDs and five common risk factors for NCDs among adults aged 50 years and older were estimated based on the survey data from SAGE-China wave Ⅰ.Ordinal logistic regression models were performed to examine the associated risk factors and social determinates for multiple chronic conditions . Results Adjusting for design weights and post-stratification , the proportions of insufficient vegetables and fruits intake ,low level of physical activity , current daily smoking use , obesity and frequent heavy drinker were 35.6%, 28.1%, 26.7%, 12.8% and 6.3%, respectively.And the prevalence of hypertension , arthritis, angina, chronic lung disease , diabetes, stroke, asthma and depression were 61.3%, 22.0%, 7.9%, 7.9%, 6.6%, 3.1%, 1.9%and 0.3%, separately.The proportion of multiple chronic condi-tions was 28.4%.The older elderly, women, living in the urban, more risk factors would increase the risk of multiple chronic conditions . Conclusion The prevalence of NCDs is very high and multiple chronic conditions are common among middle-aged and older population .Hence, more attentions should be paid and multiple effective control measures should be taken .
