ObjectiveTo describe different non-alcoholic fatty liver disease （NAFLD） outcomes among community inhabitants， and further to explore the correlation between bio-indicator level variance and the outcomes. MethodsPhysical indicators （height， weight， waist circumstances， hip circumstances， blood pressure， etc）， biochemical indicators ［fasting plasma glucose， HbA1c， serum triglycerides（TG）， serum total cholesterol（TC）， low-density lipoprotein cholesterol（LDL-C）， high-density lipoprotein cholesterol（HDL-C）， liver related transaminase， etc］ and clinical imaging （B-scan ultrasonography） were collected during the follow-up from the Songjiang Natural Population Sub-cohort. The identification of NAFLD was supported by the definition criteria from Guidelines for the diagnosis and treatment of non⁃alcoholic fatty liver disease. Paired t-test and multifactorial logistic regression model were used to compare the difference between the indicator level of the subjects from different outcome subgroups and to further analyze the correlation between these indicator variance and different NAFLD outcomes. ResultsDuring a median follow-up time of 2.94 years， 12 076 subjects were involved. The cumulative NAFLD incidence and remission rate were 21.57% and 31.15%， respectively. The proportion of subjects who still had NAFLD was 27.96%. Among subjects with newly-developed NAFLD， indicators including blood pressure， BMI， fasting plasma glucose， and plasma lipid level increased， while in the remission subgroup， blood pressure， BMI（WHR）， waist-hip ratio（WHR）， and TG level were significantly decreased. Increased level of systolic pressure， WHR， BMI， HbA1c， and LDL-C might be the risk factors to the occurrence of NAFLD. While decreased level of WHR， BMI， TC and LDL-C level and elevated HDL-C level were likely to be the influencing factors of NAFLD remission process. ConclusionThe NAFLD morbidity in the community inhabitants is relatively high. BMI， WHR， fasting plasma sugar and plama lipid level variance may act as the influencing factors towards different NAFLD outcomes.

ObjectiveTo determine the epidemiological characteristics and risk factors of hypertension in residents in Songjiang District of Shanghai， and provide evidence for prevention and control of hypertension. MethodsLocal residents aged between 20 and 74 years were recruited from four towns in Songjiang District from 2016 to 2017 by using a multistage sampling strategy. Questionnaire surveys were conducted， and then physical examination， blood pressure measurement， glucose test and lipid test were performed. The data was analyzed by SPSS 16.0 software. Chi-square test was used to compare the differences in the prevalence of hypertension in residents， stratified by demographics and health conditions. Risk factors were determined by multivariate logistic regression. ResultsAmong 35 759 residents with a median age of 58 years and the proportion of male being 40.67%， crude prevalence of hypertension was 54.24% （19 395/35 759） and standardized prevalence was 31.69%. In the hypertensive patients， proportion of hypertension awareness was 61.09%， with 63.67% in male and 59.10% in female. Proportion of receiving treatment was 49.00%， with 50.91% in male and 47.51% in female. Furthermore， in the hypertensive patients with treatment， proportion of effectively controlling hypertension was 40.50%， with 44.46% in male and 37.21% in female. Multivariate logistic regression showed that male （OR=1.272）， senior age （40‒59 years old： OR=4.353， 60‒74 years old： OR=9.802）， overweight （OR=1.823）， obesity （OR=3.070）， central obesity （OR=1.380）， diabetes （OR=1.923）， dyslipidemia （OR=1.452）， and drinking （OR=1.338） were risk factors associated with hypertension. ConclusionPrevalence of hypertension is high， while the proportions of receiving treatment and effective control remain low in residents in Songjiang District. It warrants strengthening prevention and control of hypertension in targeted and young residents.

ObjectiveTo investigate the prevalence and influencing factors of diabetes mellitus among community population in Songjiang District of Shanghai， and to provide scientific basis for prevention and treatment of diabetes mellitus. MethodsBased on the baseline data of the Shanghai Suburban Adult Cohort （2016‒2017） and local medication database， the prevalence of diabetes in the cohort was described， and the influencing factors for the prevalence of diabetes in different genders were analyzed. ResultsAmong 35 928 participants， males accounted for 40.57%， and the median age was 58 years old. There were 5 342 diabetic patients with a crude prevalence rate of 14.87% and the standardized prevalence rate of diabetes mellitus was 7.57%. The prevalence rate of diabetes in males （15.81%） was significantly higher than that in females （14.23%， P<0.001）. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that the following factors were associated with high risk of diabetes mellitus in males： 40‒59 age group （OR=7.111，95%CI：4.900‒10.320）， 60‒74 age group （OR=8.994，95%CI：6.154‒13.144）， family history of diabetes （OR=3.369，95%CI：2.963‒3.83）， overweight （OR=1.272，95%CI：1.123‒1.439）， obesity （OR=1.912，95%CI：1.623‒2.252）， hypertension （OR=1.685，95%CI：1.512‒1.877）， and dyslipidemia （OR=1.396，95%CI：1.263‒1.542）. In females， the high risk of diabetes was associated with： 40‒59 age group （OR=2.718，95%CI：1.838‒4.02）， 60‒74 age group （OR=3.517，95%CI：2.34‒5.286）， family history of diabetes （OR=3.071，95%CI：2.761‒3.416）， overweight （OR=1.254，95%CI：1.125‒1.398）， obesity （OR=2.018，95%CI：1.764‒2.308）， central obesity （OR=1.515，95%CI：1.357‒1.692）， hypertension （OR=2.128，95%CI：1.929‒2.347）， dyslipidemia （OR=1.506，95%CI：1.379‒1.644）， exercise （OR=1.241，95%CI：1.137‒1.355）， and menopause （OR=1.967，95%CI：1.693‒2.286）. ConclusionThe prevalence rate of diabetes is high in Shanghai， and the related factors are different in different gender groups.

ObjectiveTo investigate the comorbidity of community patients with stroke in Songjiang District， Shanghai， determine the prevalence and characteristics of comorbidities and influencing factors， and provide scientific evidence for prevention and treatment of stroke. MethodsA natural population-based cohort study was conducted in several communities of Songjiang District from April 2016 to October 2017. Questionnaire survey， physical examination and biochemical examination were conducted in the cohort population to understand the comorbidity of 1 523 patients with stroke at baseline. ResultsThe prevalence of comorbidities in community patients with stroke was 74.0%， which was higher in female （76.36%） than that in male （70.76%）. The average number of comorbidities was 2.62±1.56， which was significantly higher in female （2.70±1.58） than that in male （2.52±1.54） （t=-2.31， P=0.021）. In this population， the most common two-comorbidity combination was hypertension+central obesity （35.85%）， and the most common three-comorbidity combination was hypertension+dyslipidemia+central obesity （17.20%）， with statistically significant differences by gender and age groups （P<0.05）. Multivariate analysis showed that age ≥65 years， urban population， hyperhomocysteinemia （HHcy）， and family history of hypertension were risk factors associated with comorbidities， whereas educational level of middle school and high school， and physical exercise 1‒3 days per week were protective factors. ConclusionPrevalence of comorbidity is high in community patients with stroke in Songjiang District， Shanghai. It is suggested to control blood pressure and body weight， adopt healthy lifestyle and take comprehensive prevention and treatment measures in this population.

Objective: To evaluate the relationship of serum uric acid with prediabetes and newly detected type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) in adults. Methods: Data were obtained from the baseline investigation of Songjiang Peak-Plan cohort. According to the baseline fasting plasma glucose and glycosylated hemoglobin, the eligible subjects were divided into normal blood sugar group, prediabetes group, and newly detected T2DM group. Unconditional logistic regression model was used to explore the effect of serum uric acid level on prediabetes and newly detected T2DM, and restricted cubic spline (RCS) function was used to explore the nonlinear dose-response relationship of serum uric acid level with the prevalence of prediabetes and newly detected T2DM. Results: A total of 30 375 subjects were included in the analysis, with an average age of (55.36±11.52) years, and 60.2% (18 299) of them were women. The baseline survey found that the prevalence of prediabetes was 38.6% (11 739 cases), and the prevalence of newly detected T2DM was 6.6% (1 992 cases). Logistic regression analysis showed that, in women, for every 10µmol/L increase in serum uric acid, the risk of developing prediabetes and T2DM s increased by 2.4% (OR=1.024, 95%CI: 1.018-1.030), and 1.5% (OR=1.015, 95%CI: 1.005-1.025), respectively; in men, for every 10 µmol/L increase in serum uric acid, the risk of developing prediabetes and T2DM decreased by 0.8% (OR=0.992, 95%CI: 0.987-0.998) and 5.0% (OR=0.950, 95%CI: 0.939-0.960), respectively. The RCS function showed that the serum uric acid level showed a nonlinear dose-response relationship with newly detected T2DM (P=0.017), but not with prediabetes (P=0.670) in women and showed a nonlinear dose-response relationship with both prediabetes (P=0.040) and newly detected T2DM (P<0.001) in men. Conclusions: Adult women are at increased risk of prediabetes and newly detected T2DM with increase of serum uric acid level, and adult men are at decreased risk of newly diagnosed T2DM with the increase of serum uric acid level. There was no significant relationship between serum uric acid level and prediabetes in men.

ObjectiveTo analyze the incidence， recovery rate and associated factors of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease （NAFLD） among residents aged 65 years old and above in Xinqiao Community of Songjiang， Shanghai， and to provide basic data for further efficient community management. MethodsData of annual geriatric physical examination program for residents aged 65 and above were collected in Xinqiao Community， Songjiang from 2016 to 2022. Those residents who participated twice or more were included in this analysis. Data were collated into longitudinal form. For each participant， data of the first physical examination was used as baseline， and each subsequent examination was taken as follow-up. Incidence and recovery rate of NAFLD were calculated. Cox proportional hazard models were used to explore the associated factors and their changes with the onset and recovery of NAFLD. ResultsDuring the study period， a total of 11 983 residents participated in physical examinations， of which 8 644 participated twice or more， and 8 154 had no history of excessive alcohol consumption. B-ultrasound showed that there were 5 267 residents without NAFLD and 2 887 with NAFLD at baseline. After a median follow-up of 3.3 years， the incidence density of NAFLD in this population was estimated to be 11.5 per 100 person-years， and the recovery density was 23.4 per 100 person-years. The incidence density of NAFLD was negatively associated with age， and positively associated with baseline BMI， abdominal obesity， high fasting blood glucose， and high triglycerides. The recovery density was negatively associated with baseline BMI and abdominal obesity. Compared with those with normal BMI at both baseline and follow-up， those with persistent obesity showed the highest risk of NAFLD （males： HR： 3.19， 95%CI： 2.16-4.70； females： HR： 3.34， 95%CI： 2.46-4.54） and the lowest potential of recovery （males： HR： 0.58， 95%CI： 0.42-0.82； females： HR： 0.58， 95%CI： 0.44-0.77）. Persistently high triglycerides were also associated with a higher risk of developing the disease. ConclusionResidents aged 65 years old and above in Xinqiao， Shanghai had a higher incidence and recovery rate of NAFLD. Women， being obese and having hyperlipidemia are at a higher risk for the development and persistence of NAFLD.

ObjectiveTo evaluate the efficacy of three screening questionnaires for COPD in the community residents of Songjiang District， Shanghai， and to provide a basis for selecting COPD screening questionnaire and process that are more suitable. MethodsCommunity residents aged 40 years or over were randomly selected from the Shanghai Suburban Adult Cohort and Biobank for the study with screening questionnaires and spirometry. Questionnaires included the COPD screening questionnaire （COPD-SQ）， the COPD population screener （COPD-PS） and the revised COPD diagnostic questionnaire （revised-CDQ）. Evaluation of the efficacy of these questionnaires was based on the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve （AUC） of the subjects. DeLong test was used to compare the accuracy of different questionnaires； Z test was used to compare the accuracy of different cut-off values for the same questionnaire. ResultsAmong 3 184 community residents， a total of 259 （8.1%） COPD patients were screened by spirometry. AUC values of these 3 screening questionnaires were >0.7 indicating that they were reliable COPD screening tools. The sensitivity and specificity of the questionnaires at the recommended cut-off values were COPD-SQ （63.7% and 72.2%）， COPD-PS （12.0% and 96.1%）， and revised CDQ （78.8% and 52.7%）， with the COPD-SQ having the highest screening accuracy （AUC=0.754）. The optimal and recommended cut-off values for the three questionnaires differed in this population， but the difference in accuracy was statistically significant only for COPD-PS. The optimal cut-off values for the three questionnaires differed between male and female， and the sensitivity and accuracy of COPD-SQ and COPD-PS improved when lower cut-off values were used for women. The AUC was greater when two questionnaires were utilized simultaneously for screening， but the differences were not statistically significant. ConclusionThe COPD-SQ is recommended for primary COPD screening； a lower cut-off value for women should be considered. The COPD screening questionnaire needs to be further improved for the early diagnosis and treatment of COPD patients.
