The American Heart Association (AHA) recently developed definitions of cardiovascular health for adults and children based on 7 cardiovascular disease risk factors or health behaviors. We applied this new construct to examine the cardiovascular health status in adult Chinese urban residents.
Data of 1,012,418 subjects aged 20-65 years (55% were men; mean age, 42.4 years) who received health examination at 58 health examination centers across China was analyzed. The AHA ideal health behaviors index and ideal health factor index were evaluated among the subjects.
Only 0.6% of male and 2.6% of female subjects met all 7 health components, and only 39.1% of the subjects met 5 or more components of ideal cardiovascular health. The prevalence of "ideal", "intermediate" and "poor" cardiovascular health was 1.5%, 33.9% and 64.6%, respectively.
About two-thirds of the adult Chinese urban population has "poor" cardiovascular health. Comprehensive individual and population-based interventions must be developed to improve cardiovascular health status in China.
美国心脏协会(AHA)最近基于 7 种心血管疾病风险因素或健康行为为成年人和儿童制定了心血管健康定义。我们应用这一新概念来评估中国城市成年居民的心血管健康状况。
分析了来自中国 58 个健康检查中心的 1012418 名年龄在 20-65 岁的(55%为男性;平均年龄为 42.4 岁)接受健康检查的受试者的数据。评估了受试者的 AHA 理想健康行为指数和理想健康因素指数。
仅有 0.6%的男性和 2.6%的女性受试者满足了所有 7 项健康指标,只有 39.1%的受试者符合 5 项或更多的理想心血管健康指标。“理想”、“中等”和“较差”心血管健康的患病率分别为 1.5%、33.9%和 64.6%。
大约三分之二的中国城市成年人口的心血管健康状况较差。必须制定综合的个体和基于人群的干预措施来改善中国的心血管健康状况。
