Objective:To analyze the death rate of asthma among Chinese people aged 0-19 years in 2018 and the trend of asthma mortality between 2008 and 2018, in order to guide the research of asthma control management and prevention strategy, and reduce the mortality of childhood asthma in China.Methods:Data from the national disease surveillance points system (DSPs) was adopted.The mortality rates of 0-19-year-old people in different age groups, genders, places of residence and geographical regions from 2008 to 2018 were calculated, and the national death toll of asthma was estimated as well.The annual percentage change (APC) and average annual percentage change (AAPC) were calculated, and the death rate of asthma among Chinese people aged 0-19 years in 2018 and change trend of asthma mortality from 2008 to 2018 were analyzed.Results:In 2018, there was no significant gender diffe-rence in asthma mortality among Chinese people aged 0-19 years among different age groups, places of residence and geographical regions(all P>0.05). From 2008 to 2018, the mortality rate of people aged 0-19 fluctuated from 0.023/100 000 to 0.046/100 000, the highest mortality rate was in 2009 and 2012, and the lowest was in 2018. It was estimated that the total number of deaths among people aged 0-19 years reached the highest in 2009 (148 cases) and the lowest in 2018 (70 cases). It is estimated that the total number of deaths among people aged 0-19 years in China from 2008 to 2018 was 1 158 cases.From 2008 to 2018, the total mortality rate of asthma in Chinese population aged 0-19 years decreased significantly (AAPC=-7.6%, 95% CI: -10.4%--4.7%). There was a significant decrease in male group(AAPC=-7.4%, 95% CI: -12.5%--2.0%), female group(AAPC=-7.5%, 95% CI: -12.7%--2.0%), 1-<5 years old group(AAPC=-11.4%, 95% CI: -17.9%--4.5%), 15-19 years old group(AAPC=-14.4%, 95% CI: -24.8%--2.6%), rural group(AAPC=-9.0%, 95% CI: -13.1%--4.8%) and central areas(AAPC=-13.1%, 95% CI: -24.0%--0.5%), with statistical significance(all P<0.05). Conclusions:The total mortality of asthma in 0-19-year old population decreased significantly from 2008 to 2018.The mortality rate of asthma in 0-19-year old people in China is at the low level around the world.

OBJECTIVETo analyze the features of distribution and variation trends of mortality of ischemic heart disease over the age of 35 years old in China, 2004-2011.
METHODSA total of 493 274 cases were recruited in the study, the mortality data of the ischemic heart diseases were collected from the national disease surveillance point (DSP) system between 2004 and 2011. The change of ischemic heart disease standardized mortality was described, and the annual change percentage of age group mortality and standardized mortality were analyzed using log linear regression method.
RESULTSIn 2004-2011, the standardized mortality of ischemic heart disease over the age of 35 showed an upward trend in each regions of China.In 2004, the ischemic heart disease standardized mortality over the age of 35 was 176.2/100 000 among males and 131.7/100 000 among females in urban areas, and the figures increased to 204.6/100 000 and 147.9/100 000 respectively in 2011.In 2004, the ischemic heart disease standardized mortality over the age of 35 was 164.4/100 000 among males and 122.2/100 000 among females in rural areas, and the figures increased to 236.8/100 000 and 151.5/100 000 respectively in 2011. The ischemic heart disease standardized mortality was lower in rural regions than in urban regions in 2004, but it changed to be higher in rural regions than in urban regions in 2011 both in males and female. The annual growth rate of ischemic heart disease mortality over the age of 35 was separately 5.00% in male and 3.65% in female. The annual growth rate was highest among males in rural areas (7.09%), followed by females in rural areas (5.06%). The growth rate was lowest among females in urban areas (1.69%).It was found that the increasing trends of ischemic heart disease mortality of males both in urban and rural areas, and females in rural areas was statistically significant (P < 0.05).
CONCLUSIONThe mortality of ischemic heart disease has still been showing an uprising trend, especially in the rural areas.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the burden of infectious disease of the Chinese population in 1990 and 2010 and changing pattern in the past 20 years.
METHODSResults of the Global Burden of Disease Study 2010 (GBD 2010) were used to demonstrate the burden of infectious disease of the Chinese population in 1990 and 2010 and changing pattern from 1990 to 2010 by gender and age groups, including indicators of incidence, mortality, years of life lost due to premature mortality (YLL), years lived with disability (YLD), disability-adjusted life years (DALY), and their age-standardized rates using data of the 2010 National Census as a standard population.
RESULTSIn 1990 incidence, standardized incidence rate, mortality, standardized mortality rate, DALY, standardized DALY rate, YLL, standardized YLL rate, YLD, and standardized YLD rate of infectious disease in China were 3 067 469 200 cases, 242 669.34 cases/100 000, 824 300 cases, 72.27 cases/100 000, 58 937 700 person-years (PYRS), 3 992.85 PYRS/100 000, 46 504 100 PYRS, 2 932.99 PYRS/100 000, 12 433 600 PYRS, and 1 059.86 PYRS/100 000, respectively. All the aboved indicators were declined from 1990 to 2010, in 2010 they were 3 065 985 800 cases, 224 351.66 cases/100 000, 388 600 cases, 30.74 cases/100 000, 19 492 200 PYRS, 1 440.75 PYRS/100 000, 12 045 700 PYRS, 891.87 PYRS/100 000, 7 446 500 PYRS, and 548.89 PYRS/100 000, respectively. When 2010's indicators were compared to those in 1990, the rates of increase of incidence, incidence rate, mortality, mortality rate, DALY, DALY rate, YLL, YLL rate, YLD, and YLD rate were 56.84%, -9.85%, -33.07%, -61.54%, -27.68%, -58.42%, -32.46%, -61.17%, -16.75%, and -52.13% for 50-69 age group; for ≥ 70 age group, 57.90%, -5.86%, 7.41%, -36.12%, -5.00%, -43.51%, -5.14%, -43.59%, -4.52%, and -43.2%.
CONCLUSIONSThe burden of infectious disease of the Chinese population was declined from 1990 to 2010; however, the incidence of infectious disease was increased in ≥ 50 age groups.

Multistage sampling is a frequently-used method in random sampling survey in public health.Clustering or independence between observations often exists in the sampling,often called complex sample,generated by multistage sampling.Sampling error may be underestimated and the probability of type Ⅰ error may be increased if the multistage sample design was not taken into considerationin analysis.As variance (error) estimator in complex sample is often complicated,statistical software usually adopt ultimate cluster variance estimate (UCVE) to approximate the estimation,which simply assume that the sample comes from one-stage sampling.However,with increased sampling fraction of primary sampling unit,contribution from subsequent sampling stages is no more trivial,and the ultimate cluster variance estimate may,therefore,lead to invalid variance estimation.This paper summarize a method of variance estimation considering multistage sampling design.The performances are compared with UCVE and the method considering multistage sampling design by simulating random sampling under different sampling schemes using real world data.Simulation showed that as primary sampling unit (PSU) sampling fraction increased,UCVE tended to generate increasingly biased estimation,whereas accurate estimates were obtained by using the method considering multistage sampling design.
8.Research on burden of cancer to promote scientific development of cancer prevention and control
Chinese Journal of Epidemiology 2016;37(6):749-751
Cancer has become one of the most important public health issues than ever.It was reported that the incidence rate of cancer was 235.0/100 000 and the mortality rate was 144.3/100 000.In China,cases of deaths and new eases of cancer accounted for 26.9% and 21.8% of the world's total numbers.The seven papers included in this issue had elaborated the cancer morbidity,mortality and attributable years of life lost at national and provincial levels since 1990,as well as explored the risk factors and strategies on prevention and control of cancer.Information on burden of cancers is important in determining the target population on prevention and control of cancer,for the adequate arrangement of health resources and evaluation on the effects of intervention measures.

10.Health effect assessment of risk factors for developing population intervention strategies
Chinese Journal of Preventive Medicine 2016;50(9):753-754
Population health is affected by distal factors such as social,economic,cultural factors,proximal factors such as behavior,environment and health services,and biologic factors such as genetics and local microbial populations.Nowadays,China is in the throes of rapid economic and social development,which may affect disease patterns through changes in behavior,environment or communicable disease.This paper addresses the burden of disease attributable to common behavior,environmental and disease risk factors in 2013,and changes in their influence between 1990 and 2013.According to these findings,we can discern critical factors that affecting population health,identify the target populations of public health intervention projects,and design effective and more targeted prevention strategies to control the burden of chronic diseases.
