Northeast China is a region with a serious aging population. There are fewer articles on epidemiological surveys on the prevalence of chronic diseases in aging areas of China. The study is aimed at understanding the prevalence of chronic noncommunicable diseases such as hypertension and diabetes mellitus (DM) in Liaoning Province, northeast China, and analyzing the risk factors for these chronic diseases.
A questionnaire survey and physical examination were conducted in 5008 permanent residents in 2 streets (Henan Street and Hebei Street) covered by Liuerbao Central Health Center in Liaoyang and 4 villages (Miaogou Village, Wangjia Village, Heyan Village, and Shuiquan Village) covered by Shuiquan Health Center in Tianshui Town of Liaoyang from January 2020 to December 2020.
A total of 4990 patients were included. The prevalence rates of hypertension, DM, dyslipidemia, and obesity in residents in Liaoyang were 54.13%, 12.30%, 43.31%, and 20.52%, respectively. The prevalence of hypertension and DM was highest in both male and female patients aged 40-60 years, which was higher than that in the other age groups ( < 0.05). The prevalence of dyslipidemia was highest in men over 60 years old and women 18 - <40 years old. Obesity was most common in men aged over 60 and in women 40 - <60 years old. The proportion of male smokers in all age groups was significantly higher than that of female smokers. Smoking, dyslipidemia, and significant overweight or obesity are common risk factors for hypertension and DM.
In Liaoyang, northeast China, the prevalence of noninfectious chronic diseases was high, and the prevalence rate in people over 40 years old was significantly higher than that in people under 40 years old. The prevalence and progression of chronic diseases were obviously related to local living and eating habits; thus, health education needs to be improved.
中国东北地区是一个人口老龄化严重的地区。关于中国老龄化地区慢性疾病流行情况的流行病学调查文章较少。本研究旨在了解中国东北地区辽宁省高血压和糖尿病等慢性非传染性疾病的流行情况，并分析这些慢性疾病的危险因素。
2020 年 1 月至 12 月，采用问卷和体检的方式，对辽阳市刘二堡中心卫生服务中心河南街和河北街覆盖的 2 个街道（河南街和河北街）和辽阳市天水镇水泉中心卫生服务中心覆盖的 4 个村庄（庙沟村、王家村、砚燕村和水泉村）的 5008 名常住居民进行了调查。
共纳入 4990 例患者。辽阳市居民高血压、糖尿病、血脂异常和肥胖的患病率分别为 54.13%、12.30%、43.31%和 20.52%。男性和女性 40-60 岁患者高血压和糖尿病的患病率最高，高于其他年龄组（<0.05）。血脂异常在 60 岁以上男性和 18-<40 岁女性中最为常见。肥胖症在 60 岁以上男性和 40-<60 岁女性中最为常见。各年龄段男性吸烟者比例明显高于女性吸烟者。吸烟、血脂异常和明显超重或肥胖是高血压和糖尿病的常见危险因素。
在中国东北地区的辽阳市，非传染性慢性疾病的患病率较高，40 岁以上人群的患病率明显高于 40 岁以下人群。慢性疾病的发生和发展与当地的生活和饮食习惯明显相关，因此需要加强健康教育。
