In China, >70% of stroke deaths occur in people aged ≥65 years. However, trends in the stroke incidence among elderly people are unclear. We aimed to determine trends in the stroke incidence among elderly people in rural China. This was a population-based surveillance study conducted in Tianjin, China. Stroke events and all deaths were registered annually. Trends and annual proportion of change in incidence of first-ever stroke were evaluated from 1992 to 2016. The age-standardized incidence of first-ever stroke increased annually by 3.7% overall in elderly people (2.7% for men; 5.0% for women; all P<0.05). However, from 2008 to 2016, there was no significant change in the trends of stroke incidence among elderly people, across gender and subtypes. The proportion of elderly patients with first-ever stroke decreased by 1.1% annually. In contrast to young patients, annual changes in the incidence of stroke tended to be slight in elderly patients (3.7% vs. 9.5%) with greater increase in female patients than those in male patients (2.7% vs. 10.3% for men; 5.0% vs. 8.9% for women). Thus, the control of risk factors for stroke among elderly people is crucial, especially among older women, to reduce the burden of stroke in China.
在中国,超过70%的中风死亡发生在65岁及以上人群中。然而,老年人中风发病率的趋势尚不清楚。我们旨在确定中国农村老年人中风发病率的趋势。这是一项在中国天津开展的基于人群的监测研究。每年登记中风事件和所有死亡情况。评估了1992年至2016年首次中风发病率的趋势和年度变化比例。总体而言,老年人首次中风的年龄标准化发病率每年上升3.7%(男性为2.7%;女性为5.0%;所有P<0.05)。然而,从2008年到2016年,无论性别和亚型,老年人中风发病率趋势均无显著变化。首次中风的老年患者比例每年下降1.1%。与年轻患者相比,老年患者中风发病率的年度变化往往较小(3.7%对9.5%),女性患者的增幅大于男性患者(男性为2.7%对10.3%;女性为5.0%对8.9%)。因此,控制老年人中风的危险因素对于减轻中国的中风负担至关重要,尤其是老年女性。
