Abstract:
Objective:To investigate the prevalence and influencing factors of chronic diseases among cured leprosy patients in Huai'an City, so as to provide insights into chronic diseases control among cured leprosy patients.
Methods:All cured leprosy patients in Huai'an City in 2021 were enrolled from the National Leprosy Management Information System in China. The demographic data, family status, leprosy diagnosis and treatment, health status and development of chronic diseases were collected using face-to-face questionnaire surveys and physical examinations, and the factors affecting the development of chronic diseases were identified among cured leprosy patients using a multivariable logistic regression model.
Results:Totally 708 cured leprosy patients were included, with a male to female ratio of 2.75︰1, and a mean age of (71.84±10.09) years. The overall prevalence of disability was 48.45%. The prevalence of chronic diseases was 31.78% among participants, and the prevalence rates of hypertension, diabetes, coronary heart disease, stroke, dyslipidemia, tumor, chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases were 25.14%, 4.10%, 3.67%, 3.67%, 2.26%, 2.26% and 0.85%, respectively. There were 154 participants with a type of chronic diseases (21.75%), 61 with two types of chronic diseases (8.62%) and 10 with 3 and more types of chronic diseases (1.41%). Multivariable logistic regression analysis identified complete loss of labor ability (OR=1.484, 95%CI: 1.015-2.171), labor income as the major economic source (OR=0.621, 95%CI: 0.407-0.948), being cared of (OR=1.832, 95%CI: 1.203-2.788) and disability (OR=1.715, 95%CI: 1.127-2.608) as factors affecting the development of chronic diseases among cured leprosy patients.
Conclusions:There is a high risk of chronic diseases among cured leprosy patients with loss of labor ability, with government subsidy and others' funding as the major economic source, requiring to be cared of and with disability in Huai'an City.
