Objective:
To analyze the disease burden and risk factors of colorectal cancer in Zhejiang Province from 1990 to 2019, so as to provide the basis for prevention and control of colorectal cancer.
Methods:
Based on data of 2019 Global Burden of Disease (GDB 2019), disease burden and risk factors of colorectal cancer in Zhejiang Province from 1990 to 2019 was assessed using years of life lost (YLL), years lived with disability (YLD), disability-adjusted life years (DALY).
Results:
In 2019, the YLL rate, YLD rate and DALY rate caused by colorectal cancer in Zhejiang Province were 496.15/105, 31.81/105 and 527.96/105, respectively. From 1990 to 2019, the YLL rate, YLD rate and DALY rate caused by colorectal cancer in Zhejiang Province increased by 114.90%, 482.60% and 123.38%, respectively, showing increasing trends (average annual percent change values were =2.663, 6.283 and 2.800, respectively,all P<0.05). From 1990 to 2019, the YLL rate, YLD rate and DALY rate in the age groups of 15 to 49 years, 50 to 69 years and 70 years and older showed increasing trends (all P<0.05). In 1990, the top ten risk factors for colorectal cancer in Zhejiang Province were diet low in calcium, diet low in milk, diet low in whole grains, smoking, alcohol use, low physical activity, high fasting plasma glucose, diet high in red meat, diet low in fiber and high body mass index. In 2019, the top ten risk factors for colorectal cancer in Zhejiang Province were diet low in milk, diet low in whole grains, diet low in calcium, alcohol use, diet high in red meat, high body mass index, high fasting plasma glucose, low physical activity, diet low in fiber and diet high in processed meat.
Conclusions
The disease burden of colorectal cancer in Zhejiang Province showed an upward trend from 1990 to 2019. The top ten risk factors for colorectal cancer remained between 1990 and 2019, while there was a slight change in ranking.

Objective:To understand the prevalence of insufficient physical activity among adults aged ≥18 years in China and to explore the influencing factors.Methods:The China Chronic Disease and Risk Factor Surveillance was conducted in 298 counties/districts in China in 2018, covering 31 provinces (autonomous regions, municipalities). A multi-stage stratified cluster random sampling method was used to select permanent residents aged ≥18 years. A questionnaire including Global Physical Activity Questionnaire was used to collect information about the participants' demographic characteristics and physical activity through face-to-face interview. A total of 183 769 participants completed the survey. After complex data weighting, the prevalence of insufficient physical activity, occupation, transportation, and leisure-time physical activity time was analyzed. Multivariate logistic regression models were used to analyze the influencing factors related to insufficient physical activity.Results:The prevalence of insufficient physical activity among adults aged ≥18 years was 22.3% (95% CI: 20.9%-23.7%) in China in 2018, with males [24.4% (95% CI: 23.0%-25.8%)] significantly higher than females [20.2% (95% CI: 18.6%-21.8%)]. Adults aged 70 years and above [28.4% (95% CI: 26.9%-29.9%)] were significantly higher than adults in other age groups, followed by adults aged 18-29 years [26.4% (95% CI: 24.4%- 28.3%)] and 30-39 years [23.4% (95% CI: 21.5%-25.3%)], and tended to increase with increasing education and total sedentary behavior time ( P<0.001). The weekly occupation, transportation, and leisure-time physical activity time appeared 958.6 (95% CI: 911.4-1 005.8) minutes, 234.5 (95% CI: 224.7- 244.2) minutes, and 88.6 (95% CI: 83.5-93.7) minutes, respectively. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that males, adults living in rural areas or northern China, ≥70 years, with junior high school education, an annual household income per capita <6 000 yuan and institutional/clerical/ technical occupation and longer total sedentary behavior time were related to a higher prevalence of insufficient physical activity. Conclusions:In China, over one-fifth of the adults had lower physical activity levels. Adults who are male, young adults, more educated, institutional/clerical/technical occupation, and with more extended total sedentary behavior are the populations that need to be focused on to promote physical activity-related health.

Objective:To analyze the epidemiological patterns of comorbidity of anxiety symptoms and depression symptoms among middle and high school students in Zhejiang Province and to provide evidence for making strategy and evaluation of intervention.Methods:Through a multi-stage sampling design, 28 043 students from 376 schools in 30 counties/districts were recruited and surveyed using anonymous self-administered questionnaires in classrooms under the supervision of trained staff between April and June 2022. Anxiety symptoms were assessed using generalized Anxiety Disorders 7-Item Scale, and depression symptoms were assessed using Patient Health Questionnaire 9-Item Depression Scale. A total of 27 004 students were included in the final analysis.Results:The overall prevalence of comorbidity of anxiety symptoms and depression symptoms was 11.54% (95% CI: 10.90%-12.19%), higher among girls (15.42%, 95% CI: 14.47%- 16.38%) than boys (8.05%, 95% CI: 7.43%-8.67%) ( P<0.001), higher among students living in rural areas (12.35%, 95% CI: 11.49%-13.22%) than those in urban areas (10.06%, 95% CI: 9.27%-10.86%) ( P<0.001). The prevalence of comorbidity of students attending middle school, academic high school, and vocational high school was 11.73% (95% CI: 10.82%-12.64%), 12.49% (95% CI: 11.20%- 13.79%), and 9.98% (95% CI: 8.68%-11.27%), respectively ( P=0.025). The prevalence of comorbidity was higher among students in divorced/widow/separated families (16.64%, 95% CI: 14.86%-18.43%) than those in intact families (10.82%, 95% CI: 10.14%-11.50%) ( P<0.001). The wealthier the families, the lower the prevalence of comorbidity ( P<0.001). The prevalence of comorbidity was higher among cigarettes smokers in the past 30 days (21.70%,95% CI: 18.24%- 25.16%) than non-smokers (11.13%, 95% CI: 10.51%-11.76%), higher among alcohol drinkers in the past 30 days (19.36%, 95% CI: 17.58%-21.14%) than non-drinkers (10.05%, 95% CI: 9.43%- 10.68%), higher among students engaging in physical fight in the past 12 months (18.42%, 95% CI: 16.75%-20.09%) than those without physical fight (10.45%, 95% CI: 9.81%-11.10%). The more frequently students engaged in physical exercise, the lower the prevalence of comorbidity ( P<0.001). The poorer the academic performance self-reported, the higher the prevalence of comorbidity ( P<0.001). Conclusion:More than one-tenth of middle and high school students in Zhejiang Province have comorbidity of anxiety symptoms and depression symptoms, and more attention should be paid to adolescent mental health.

Objective:To understand the epidemiological characteristics of metabolic syndrome(MetS) among adult residents in Zhejiang Province and compare three diagnostic criteria in adult residents.Methods:In this cross-sectisnal study participants were randomly chosen using multi-stage stratified cluster sampling method from 10 national chronic disease risk factor monitoring sites in Zhejiang Province of the 2018 China Chronic Disease and Risk Factors Surveillance Project. Demographics and information on chronic disease prevalence were obtained through questionnaire, physical measurements, and laboratory. After complex weighting of the data, an analysis and comparison of the prevalence of MetS under different diagnostic criteria among adult residents in Zhejiang Province was conducted.Results:A total of 5 369 adult residents were included, 2 411 males and 2 958 females. The prevalence of MetS using JIS, CDS and IDF diagnostic criteria was 33.62%, 25.32%, and 24.25%, respectively. The consistency rate between IDF and JIS was the highest(89.11%) and the Kappa value was 0.768( P<0.001). The consistency rate between IDF and CDS diagnostic criteria was 84.53%, and the Kappa value was 0.631( P<0.001). The consistency rate between JIS and CDS was the lowest(83.17%), and the Kappa value was 0.621( P<0.001). Under CDS diagnostic criteria, the prevalence of MetS was associated to gender, marital status, smoking and drinking. Conclusion:The prevalence of MetS is at a relatively high level among adult residents in Zhejiang province. The consistency between IDF and JIS diagnostic criteria is the highest. Screening for MetS should be strengthened to detect high-risk individuals early, reduce the risk of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases and diabetes, and improve the quality of life of residents.

Objective:
To investigation the correlation between sleep duration and hypertension among adults in Zhejiang Province, and to provide scientific evidence for the prevention and control of hypertension.
Methods:
Permanent residents at age of 18 years and older were enrolled from 10 surveillance sites for risk factors of chronic diseases included in the 2018 China Chronic Diseases and Risk Factors Surveillance Program. Subjects' demographic characteristics, smoking, alcohol consumption, sleep duration and development of hypertension were collected, and following complex weighting calculations, the association between sleep duration and hypertension were examined using a multivariable logistic regression model.
Results:
Totally 5 770 adults were included, including 2 952 men (50.72%) and 3 178 women (49.28%), and the prevalence of hypertension was 29.39% (2 702 cases). There were 712 (8.37%), 1 077 (18.77%), 1 582 (28.68%), 1 717 (34.60%) and 682 adults (9.57%) with sleep duration of <6 h/d, 6 to 7 h/d, 7 to 8 h/d, 8 to 9 h/d and 9 h/d and longer, respectively. Taking the sleep duration of 7 to 8 h/d as a reference, multivariable logistic regression analysis identified a significant association between sleep duration of <6 h/d and the risk of hypertension (OR=1.709, 95%CI: 1.184-2.466), a significant association between sleep duration of 9 h/d and longer and the risk of hypertension (OR=1.369, 95%CI: 1.006-1.862) in men, significant associations between sleep duration of <6 h/d (OR=2.174, 95%CI: 1.528-3.093) and 6 to 7 h/d (OR=1.412, 95%CI: 1.078-1.850) and the risk of hypertension in women, and significant associations between sleep duration of <6 h/d (OR=3.095, 95%CI: 1.025-9.347) and 6 to 7 h/d (OR=2.046, 95%CI: 1.156-3.622) and the risk of hypertension in residents at ages of 18 to 44 years.
Conclusions
Short sleep duration may increase the risk of hypertension among adults at ages of 18 to 44 years in Zhejiang Province. Short sleep duration may increase the risk of hypertension in women and long sleep duration may increase the risk of hypertension in men.

Objective :
To explore the relationship between alcohol consumption and hypertension in adults of Zhejiang Province, so as to provide scientific evidence for the prevention and control of hypertension.
Methods:
Data were collected from 10 national surveillance sites in Zhejiang Province in the 2018 China Chronic Disease and Risk Factors Surveillance. The multivariate logistic regression model was used to explore the relationship between alcohol consumption and hypertension in adults of Zhejiang Province.
Results :
Among 5 908 people included, 2 641 were males, accounting for 50.38%; and 3 267 were females, accounting for 49.62%. There were 2 721 cases of hypertension ( 28.54% ). The number of the cases with no, light and excessive alcohol consumption was 3 945, 1 117 and 846, accounting for 66.28%, 23.65% and 10.07%, respectively, after complex sampling weighting. The results of the multivariate logistic regression model showed that compared with those with no alcohol consumption, the adults with excessive alcohol consumption had higher risk of hypertension ( OR=2.126, 95%CI: 1.649-2.741 ); men with light ( OR=1.875, 95%CI: 1.075-3.270 ) and excessive alcohol consumption ( OR=2.752, 95%CI: 2.021-3.748 ) had higher risk of hypertension; the 18-<45-year-old adults with light ( OR=2.441, 95%CI: 1.171-5.087 ) and excessive alcohol consumption ( OR=3.368, 95%CI: 1.609-7.049 ), and the ≥60-year-old adults with excessive alcohol consumption ( OR=1.632, 95%CI: 1.174-2.269 ) had higher risk of hypertension.
Conclusions
Light and excessive alcohol consumption are associated with hypertension in Zhejiang adults. The association is stronger between excessive alcohol consumption and hypertension than between light alcohol consumption and hypertension.

Objective:
To understand the underreporting rate of death among residents in Zhejiang Province from 2016 to 2018, so as to provide a basis for improvement of death surveillance measures.
Methods:
Multi-stage random cluster sampling was used to select residents in 30 public health surveillance areas of Zhejiang Province and all the residents were investigated the general information and death conditions that occurred during the period 2016-2018 by door to door visit. The underreporting rate of death was calculated and descriptive methods were used to analyze the causes of underreporting deaths.
Results:
A total of 358 992 residents were investigated in 30 public health surveillance areas of Zhejiang Province. There were 63 underreporting deaths among 5 896 deaths, with an underreporting rate of 1.07%. The underreporting rate in men was 1.30%, which was higher than 0.75% in women ( P<0.05 ). The underreporting rate of residents aged 20 to <40 years was 6.74%, the highest among all the age groups ( P<0.05 ). The underreporting rate was 4.46% on the way to the hospital, the highest among all the places of death ( P<0.05 ). The underreporting rate in Wuxing District of Huzhou was 5.80%, the highest among all the surveillance areas. There were 25 cases of "late report or untimely review", accounting for 39.68%; 38 cases of "not report", accounting for 60.32%, of which 14 cases were caused by doctors forgetting to report, accounting for 22.22%.
Conclusion
The underreporting rate of death in Zhejiang Province from 2016 to 2018 is generally low. In response to underreporting deaths, multi-departmental collaboration should be promoted to effectively strengthen the reporting and management of routine death surveillance.

Objective:To explore the relationship between alcohol consumption and insomnia among 18-59 years old employed floating population in mainland China, and provide scientific basis for the relevant policies to improve the sleep status of employed floating population from the perspective of alcohol consumption.Methods:Data were from Chinese Floating Population Chronic Disease Surveillance (2012). Floating population were selected from industries in 170 counties and districts of 31 provinces/autonomous regions, and Xinjiang Construction Corps in mainland China by using the stratified multistage cluster sampling. Demographic information, behavioral risk factors, insomnia, social pressure and chronic diseases were collected through using the face-to-face questionnaire. After complex weighting of the data, a multivariable logistic regression was used to explore the sleep status and its influencing factors among the employed floating population.Results:A total of 48 499 subjects were included in the analysis. The proportions of the employed floating population who never drank alcohol, drank small amount, and drank excessively were 48.3%, 41.8% and 9.9%, respectively. The prevalence of insomnia among the general, male and female employed floating population was 28.6%, 25.8% and 32.3%, respectively. The prevalence of insomnia among the employed floating population aged between 45 and 59 years old (32.2%) was higher than that in the population aged between 18 and 44 years old (28.2%). The multivariable logistic regression analysis showed that after adjusting confounding factors, compared with the employed floating population who never consumed alcohol as the reference group, the OR values of insomnia for the employed floating population with moderate drinking and excessive drinking were 1.40 and 1.53, respectively. The OR values of insomnia for the male and female employed floating population with moderate drinking were 1.28 and 1.53. The OR values of insomnia for the male and female employed floating population with excessive drinking were both 1.46. The OR values of insomnia for the population aged 18-44 years and 45-59 years with excessive drinking were 1.41 and 1.27. The OR values of insomnia for the population aged 18-44 years and 45-59 years with excessive drinking were 1.55 and 1.37. Conclusion:Small amount of drinking and excessive drinking are associated with insomnia among the employed floating population in mainland China. The association between excessive drinking and insomnia is stronger than that between small amount of drinking and insomnia.
