Abstract:

Abstract:Objective To provide epidemiological data of non-infectious chronic diseases containing hypertension,diabetes mellitus(DM),dyslipidemia,alcoholic fatty liver disease(ALD),non-alcoholic fatty liver disease(NAFLD),metabolic sydrome(MS),overweight and central obesity and determine their risk factors in Dehui city in Jilin Province. Methods A total of 6 043 individuals including 11 neighborhoods and 9 villages were chosen based on cross-section study. A multivariate logistic regression was conducted between non-infectious chronic diseases and those risk factors.Results The prevalences of hypertension,DM,dyslipidemia,ALD,NAFLD,MS,overweight and central obesity were reported as 28.67%,4.82%,51.00%,3.74%,15.5%,21.54%,58.22%, and 36.67%, respectively, and the prevalence of hypertention was higher in males than that in females(P<0.001),and the results were reversed in central obesity,dyslipidemia,MS and NALD(P<0.05).A multivariate logistic regression analysis showed  that the OR were 1.04(95%CI:1.03-1.05) for age,19.42(95%CI:11.62-32.4) forfatty liver,1.15(95%CI:1.06-1.26) for FBG,1.38 (95%CI: 1.19-1.59) for hypercholesterolemia,1.32(95%CI:1.1-1.49) for hypertriglyceridemia,1.42(95%CI:1.3-1.47)for BMI,which were the main risk factors for non-infectious chronic diseases.
Conclusion Non-infectious chronic diseases are very common among adult population in Dehui. As people get older the prevalence of various chronic diseases gradually increases .The occurrence and development  of non-infectious chronic diseases has significant relation with life habit,dietary habit,economic level and education.
