Prognostic implications of heart failure stages among Chinese community populations: insight from a nationwide population-based study.

Background: In light of high burden of heart failure (HF) in China, studies of prognostic implication of HF stages are important. We aimed to evaluate the relationship between HF stages and mortality risk in Chinese community populations.

Methods: Nationwide representative populations aged ≥35 years (n = 23,284, mean age 56.

Prevalence of heart failure stages in the general population and implications for heart failure prevention: reports from the China Hypertension Survey 2012-15.

Aims: There are no nationwide epidemiological data on heart failure (HF) stages in China. Knowledge of the prevalence of HF stages is crucial for planning HF prevention and management strategies. We aimed to evaluate the prevalence of HF stages in the general Chinese population and the specific prevalence by age, sex, and urbanity.

Efficacy of comprehensive cognitive health management for Shanghai community older adults with mild cognitive impairment.

Background: The management of modifiable risk factors and comorbidities may impact the future trajectory of cognitive impairment, but easy-to-implement management methods are lacking.

Aims: This study investigated the effects of simple but comprehensive cognitive health management practices on the cognitive function of older adults in the community with normal cognition (NC) and mild cognitive impairment (MCI).

Methods: The comprehensive cognitive health management programme included a psychiatric assessment of the cognitive risk factors for those in the intervention groups and individualised recommendations for reducing the risks through self-management supported by regular medical professional follow-up.
