Objective: To investigate the trend in incidence and change in age at onset of malignant tumor in cancer registration areas of Jiangsu Province from 2009 to 2021, so as to provide the evidence for formulating cancer prevention and control strategies and optimizing the allocation of healthcare resources. Methods: Incidence data of malignant tumor cases from 2009 to 2021 were collected from the aggregated database of 16 qualified cancer registries of Jiangsu Province. The crude incidence, age-specific incidence, average age at onset, proportion of age-specific incidence, and proportion of incidence in cases aged ≥60 years were calculated by genders and urban/rural areas, and age-standardized using the Segi's world standard population. The trend in incidence of malignant tumor from 2009 to 2021 was evaluated using average annual percent change (AAPC). The trend in average age at onset of malignant tumor from 2009 to 2021 was evaluated using the linear regression model. Results: From 2009 to 2021, a total of 703 185 cases of malignant tumor were reported in Jiangsu Province, comprising 400 970 males and 302 215 females. The crude incidence of malignant tumor increased from 268.26/100 000 in 2009 to 380.97/100 000 in 2021 (AAPC=2.880%, P<0.05). From 2009 to 2021, the world population-standardized incidence of malignant tumor showed upward trends in the total population, females, and urban and rural areas (AAPC=0.635%, 2.332%, 0.795%, and 0.385%, all P<0.05), while a downward trend was observed in males (AAPC=-0.608%, P<0.05). From 2009 to 2021, the crude incidence of malignant tumor in the groups aged 0-<30 years, 30-<40 years, 40-<50 years, 60-<70 years, and ≥80 years showed upward trends (AAPC=3.160%, 4.462%, 1.295%, 0.569%, and 1.496%, all P<0.05), a downward trend was found in the group aged 50-<60 years (AAPC=-0.860%, P<0.05), while no statistically significant trend was observed in the group aged 70-<80 years (P>0.05). The world population-standardized average age at onset showed downward trends in the total population, females, and urban areas, with average annual decreases of 0.085, 0.223, and 0.136 years, respectively (all P<0.05). Conversely, an upward trend was observed in males, with an average annual increase of 0.081 years (P<0.05). No statistically significant trend was found in rural areas (P>0.05). Compared with 2009, the proportion of malignant tumor incidence cases increased in all age groups between 20-<50 years in 2021. Additionally, the proportion of malignant tumor cases aged over 60 years showed a downward trend from 2009 to 2021 (AAPC=-0.322%, P<0.05). Conclusions From 2009 to 2021, the overall incidence of malignant tumor in registration areas of Jiangsu Province showed an upward trend, with the age at onset tending to become younger. There were differences in the incidence trends across genders and urban/rural areas.

Objective:To understand the impact of diet on glycemic control in community-managed patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and provide evidence for implementing prevention strategies and measures for diabetes patients.Methods:Eight communities were randomly selected from Changshu and Wuhan in 2015, and T2DM patients managed in the community were selected to conduct questionnaire surveys, physical measurements, and blood glucose testing. Factor analysis was used to obtain dietary patterns. A binary logistic regression model was used to analyze the factors affecting glycemic control.Results:Finally, 1 818 T2DM patients were included, and the control rate of FPG was 57.59% (95% CI: 55.30%-59.86%), and the control rate of 2 h postprandial blood glucose (2 h PBG) was 24.90% (95% CI: 22.93%- 26.91%). Five dietary patterns were obtained by factor analysis: animal food pattern, fruit-aquatic products-potato patterns, vegetable-grain pattern, egg-milk-bean pattern, and oil-salt patterns. No-conditional multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that after adjusting for confounding factors, the reduced probability of FPG control was related to animal food pattern ( OR=0.71, 95% CI: 0.52-0.98) and fruit-aquatic products-potato patterns ( OR=0.71, 95% CI: 0.51-0.97). The decrease in the 2 h PBG control probability was related to fruit-aquatic products-potato patterns ( OR=0.60, 95% CI: 0.40-0.90). The increased probability of FPG and 2 h postprandial glucose control were both related to vegetable-grain pattern ( OR=1.41, 95% CI: 1.03-1.94; OR=1.68, 95% CI: 1.13-2.51) and egg-milk-bean pattern ( OR=1.75, 95% CI: 1.25-2.46; OR=1.56, 95% CI: 1.00-2.42). Compared with the Q4 group of egg-milk-bean pattern, the FPG control rate of the combination of "fruit-aquatic products-potato pattern ( Q4 group), vegetable-grain pattern ( Q2 group), egg-milk-bean pattern ( Q3 group)" was higher ( OR=6.79, 95% CI: 1.15-40.23, P=0.035). Compared with the Q4 group of vegetable-grain pattern, the combination of "fruit-aquatic products-potato pattern ( Q4 group), vegetable-grain pattern ( Q3 group), egg-milk-bean pattern ( Q2 group), oil-salt pattern ( Q2 group)" had higher control rate of 2 h PBG ( OR=12.78, 95% CI: 1.26-130.05, P=0.031). Conclusions:A proper combination of dietary patterns and dietary patterns are more conducive to the control of FPG and 2 h PBG in T2DM patients managed in the communities of Wuhan and Changshu. Patient nutrition education should be strengthened, and the food-matching ability of patients should be improved.

Objective:To investigate the prospective association of sleep duration with the development of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) in adults in Suzhou.Methods:The study used the data of 53 269 participants aged 30-79 years recruited in the baseline survey from 2004 to 2008 and the follow-up until December 31, 2017 of China Kadoorie Biobank (CKB) conducted in Wuzhong District, Suzhou. After excluding participants with airflow limitation, self-reported chronic bronchitis/emphysema/coronary heart disease history at the baseline survey and abnormal or incomplete data, a total of 45 336 participants were included in the final analysis. The association between daily sleep duration and the risk for developing COPD was analyzed by using a Cox proportional hazard regression model, and the hazard ratio ( HR) values and their 95% CI were calculated. The analysis was stratified by age, gender and lifestyle factors, and cross-analysis was conducted according to smoking status and daily sleep duration. Results:The median follow-up time was 11.12 years, with a total of 515 COPD diagnoses in the follow-up. After adjusting for potential confounders, multifactorial Cox proportional hazard regression analysis showed that daily sleep duration ≥10 hours was associated with higher risk for developing COPD ( HR=1.42, 95% CI: 1.03-1.97). The cross analysis showed that excessive daily sleep duration increased the risk for COPD in smokers ( HR=2.49, 95% CI: 1.35-4.59, interaction P<0.001). Conclusion:Longer daily sleep duration (≥10 hours) might increase the risk for COPD in adults in Suzhou, especially in smokers.

Objective:To investigate the associations of onset age, diabetes duration, and glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) levels with ischemic stroke risk in type 2 diabetes patients.Methods:The participants were from Comprehensive Research on the Prevention and Control of the Diabetes in Jiangsu Province. The study used data from baseline survey from December 2013 to January 2014 and follow-up until December 31, 2021. After excluding the participants who had been diagnosed with stroke at baseline survey and those with incomplete information on onset age, diabetes duration, and HbA1c level, a total of 17 576 type 2 diabetes patients were included. Cox proportional hazard model was used to calculate the hazard ratio ( HR) and 95% CI of onset age, diabetes duration, and HbA1c level for ischemic stroke. Results:During the median follow-up time of 8.02 years, 2 622 ischemic stroke cases were registered. Multivariate Cox proportional risk regression model showed that a 5-year increase in type 2 diabetes onset age was significantly associated with a 5% decreased risk for ischemic stroke ( HR=0.95, 95% CI: 0.92-0.99). A 5-year increase in diabetes duration was associated with a 5% increased risk for ischemic stroke ( HR=1.05, 95% CI: 1.02-1.10). Higher HbA1c (per 1 standard deviation increase: HR=1.17, 95% CI: 1.13-1.21) was associated with an increased risk for ischemic stroke. Conclusion:The earlier onset age of diabetes, longer diabetes duration, and high levels of HbA1c are associated with an increased risk for ischemic stroke in type 2 diabetes patients.

Objective:To understand the situation and epidemic characteristics of injury deaths among children aged 5 to 24 years in Jiangsu Province from 2012 to 2021 and the trend of annual changes.Methods:The main injury mortality data of children and adolescents was collected, and the crude and standardized mortality rates of road traffic accidents, drowning, suicide, and accidental falls among children and adolescents over a decade and the annual average percentage of change (AAPC) were calculated. The main injury mortality characteristics and trends of children and adolescents of different age groups and genders were analyzed.Results:The total number of injury deaths among 5 to 24 adolescents in Jiangsu Province was 16 052, with a standardized mortality rate of 9.58/100 000. There was no significant trend in the overall standardized mortality rate of injuries (AAPC=-3.450%, P=0.055). The standardized mortality rate of road traffic injuries among children and adolescents showed a decreasing trend over the past decade, with statistical significance (AAPC=-9.406%, P<0.001). The standardized suicide mortality rate showed an upward trend over the past decade, with statistical significance (AAPC=9.000%, P=0.001). The overall injury mortality rate showed an upward trend with age. Suicide rates in males and females were on the rise and both have statistical significance (AAPC=9.420% and AAPC=9.607%, both P<0.05). The standardized mortality rates of female traffic accidents, drowning, and male traffic accidents showed a decreasing trend and were statistically significant (AAPC for female traffic accidents=-7.364%, AAPC for female drowning=-5.352%, and AAPC for male traffic accidents=-10.242%, all P<0.05). The standardized mortality rate of urban and rural traffic accidents showed a decreasing trend and was statistically significant(AAPC=-7.899% and AAPC=-9.421%, both P<0.001). The standardized suicide mortality rate showed an upward trend and statistical significance (AAPC=11.009% and AAPC=7.528%, both P<0.05). Conclusions:The overall injury situation of children and adolescents in Jiangsu Province improved in the past decade from 2012 to 2021, but the suicide mortality rate was on the rise. It is necessary to focus on the mental health issues of this age group and to strengthen the prevention and control of suicide among children and adolescents, in Jiangsu.

Liver cancer is a significant contributor to the world's cancer burden. In order to comprehend the variations in its regional, age, gender, and histological subtype distributions as well as its temporal trend, this paper analyzes the worldwide statistical data of liver cancer, including the incidence, mortality, and survival. The findings indicated that the stages of liver cancer control and prevention are heterogeneous among countries and regions. The successful experience of liver cancer control and prevention in some countries should be promoted and disseminated. According to the various national conditions, comprehensive intervention measures, including reducing aflatoxin exposure, promoting vaccination, improving the treatment of chronic hepatitis infection, and implementing early diagnosis and treatment of liver cancer, should be developed.

Objective:To investigate the association between sleep status and the risk for coronary heart disease in adults in Suzhou.Methods:Using the baseline and follow up information of 53 269 local residents aged 30-79 years in China Kadoorie Biobank conducted in Wuzhong District, Suzhou, 51 929 subjects were included in this study after excluding those reporting coronary heart disease, stroke and cancer at the baseline survey. A Cox proportional hazards regression model was used to analyze the association of healthy sleep score (0-3 points) and sleep factors (snoring, insomnia, long sleep duration and nap) with the risk for coronary heart disease.Results:The median follow-up time was 11.12 years, and 1 304 individuals were diagnosed with coronary heart disease during the follow-up. After adjusting for potential confounders, occasional snoring ( HR=1.20, 95% CI: 1.04-1.38), usual snoring ( HR=1.17, 95% CI: 1.02-1.33), insomnia disorder ( HR=1.41, 95% CI: 1.12-1.78), daytime dysfunction ( HR=1.56, 95% CI: 1.20-2.03) and perennial nap ( HR=1.37, 95% CI: 1.19-1.59) were associated with increased risk of coronary heart disease. Compared with those with sleep score of 0 - 1 (low sleep quality), the people with sleep score of 3 had reduced risk of coronary heart disease by 26% ( HR=0.74, 95% CI: 0.63-0.87). Stratified analysis showed that the association of healthy sleep score 3 with risk of coronary heart disease was stronger in low physically active individuals (interaction P<0.05). Conclusions:Snoring, insomnia disorders, daytime dysfunction, and perennial napping were all associated with increased risk for coronary heart disease, and keep healthy sleep mode might reduce the risk for coronary heart disease in adults.

Objective:To understand the prevalence, blood pressure control, and influencing factors of hypertension in residents aged 35-75 years in Jiangsu Province, and provide data support and basis for hypertension prevention and treatment.Methods:A stratified cluster sampling method was adopted to conduct community population surveys in 22 districts and counties in 12 prefectures in Jiangsu from 2021 to 2022. A total of 123 531 permanent residents aged 35-75 years were included in the study. The questionnaire survey collected the information about the demographic characteristics, disease history, lifestyle, and control of hypertension of study subjects. Statistical software SPSS 23.0 was used for χ2 test and multivariate logistic regression analysis, and Joinpoint 4.9.1.0 software was used to evaluate the trend of age change. Results:The standardized prevalence of hypertension in study subjects was 46.60%, the prevalence was higher in men than in women, and in rural residents than in urban residents, and the standardized blood pressure control rate was 11.24%, and it was lower in men than in women and in rural residents than in urban residents. The hypertension prevalence and control rates showed increasing trends with age (both P<0.001). The multivariate analysis results showed that being man, older age, being rural resident, higher frequency of alcohol consumption, marital status of being separated and widowed, overweight and obese, abdominal obesity and stroke, diabetes mellitus and dyslipidaemic diseases histories, and family history of hypertension were risk factors for hypertension, and being man, being rural resident, living north area, higher frequency of alcohol consumption, and obesity were risk factors for blood pressure control. Conclusions:The prevalence of hypertension in residents aged 35-75 years in Jiangsu was high, and the rate of blood pressure control was low. It is suggested to take integrated intervention measures, especially in in rural residents and people with low levels of education to reduce the disease burden of the patients.

Objective:To understand the epidemiological characteristics and trends of injury in older adults in Jiangsu Province from 2006 to 2022 and provide a scientific basis for developing prevention and control measures.Methods:The data on injury cases aged 60 and older were collected from 12 sentinel hospitals in Jiangsu Province during 2006-2022. The study analyzed the proportion of injury cases among the elderly in the overall population and calculated the annual percent change and average annual percent change (AAPC). A pairwise comparison between groups was performed, and the differences were judged according to the adjusted standardized residuals.Results:From 2006 to 2022, there were 218 426 injury cases among individuals aged 60 and older in Jiangsu Province, which accounted for an increasing proportion of injury cases within the entire population (AAPC=3.17%, P<0.001). The first five causes of elderly injury were falls (42.06%), road traffic injuries (20.20%), animal injuries (11.45%), knife/sharp injuries (9.43%), and blunt injuries (8.13%). From 2006 to 2022, the proportion of falls, animal injuries, and knife/sharp injuries among the elderly aged ≥60 showed an increasing trend, while the proportion of road traffic injuries and blunt injuries decreased (all P<0.001). The incidence of injury was highest in October, with a daily incidence peak between 8:00 and 10:00. Leisure activities (40.34%) were the major activity leading to injury. The injury occurred mainly at home (53.74%), and the injury intention was mainly unintentional (97.41%), all of which showed an increasing trend ( P<0.001). The injuries were mainly bruises (36.00%), and the most common injured positions of the body were low limbs (27.55%), all of which showed a decreasing trend ( P<0.001). About 69.80% of cases were slight, and 79.38% were discharged after treatment, which showed an increasing trend ( P<0.001). Conclusions:The injury data for individuals aged 60 and older in Jiangsu Province exhibited varying trends from 2006 to 2022. There was a noticeable increase in the proportion of elderly injury cases within the overall injury population, as well as an upward trend in falls, animal injuries, and knife/sharp injuries as leading causes of injury. It is imperative to actively develop prevention measures based on the epidemiological characteristics and evolving trends of elderly injuries in Jiangsu Province.

Objective:To analyze the comorbidity status and influencing factors of hypertension, diabetes, and dyslipidemia among middle-aged and elderly in Jiangsu Province and to provide support for "co-management of the three diseases".Methods:Data originated from the Comprehensive Prevention and Control Project of Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Diseases baseline survey in Jiangsu Province. Questionnaire interviews, physical examinations, and laboratory tests were conducted on 136 433 permanent residents aged ≥35 years who participated in the survey from 2021 to 2023. A multinomial logit model was established using SPSS 23.0 to analyze the influencing factors of the three comorbidities.Results:The comorbidity rate of hypertension, diabetes, and dyslipidemia among middle-aged and older adults in Jiangsu Province was 7.3%. Hypertension combined with dyslipidemia was the main comorbidity pattern, and patients with diabetes accounted for the largest proportion. Multinomial logistic regression analysis showed that the risk of being two types of the three comorbidities was higher in male, aging, urban residents, and those with high/technical secondary school, higher frequency of cigarette smoking and alcohol drinking, and longer daily sedentary time; the risk was lower in those with higher the level of physical activity and longer daily sleep time. Among the three types of comorbidities, males with aging, high/technical secondary school, regular smoking/quitting, higher frequency of alcohol drinking, and longer daily sedentary time had higher risk; those with an annual family income of 30 000-99 999 RMB, higher level of physical activity, and the daily sleep time of 7 hours had the lower risk (all P<0.05). Conclusions:The prevention and control of the three comorbidities among middle-aged and older adults in Jiangsu Province still needs strengthening. High-risk groups for the three diseases and comorbidities, such as males, low-income , and high/technical secondary school should be focused on. Middle-aged and older adults are suggested to increase daily physical activity, reduce daily static time, reasonably arrange sleep duration, and quit smoking and drinking as early as possible to maintain a healthy weight.
