Associations between chinese visceral adiposity index and incident stroke among community populations in Pudong New Area, Shanghai.

Background: To analyze the relationship between Chinese Visceral Adiposity Index (CVAI) and stroke in Pudong New Area, and to provide a scientific basis for the prevention and treatment of this condition.

Materials And Methods: Based on the Follow-up Cohort Program of Chronic Disease Risk Factors in Pudong New Area, a total of 7,194 residents from 12 townships and 35 village committees or neighborhood committees were selected. The cohort data in 2016 served as the baseline, and a follow-up was conducted on 5462 individuals from 2019 to 2020.

Prospective cohort studies underscore the association of abnormal glycemic measures with all-cause and cause-specific mortalities.

The role of fasting plasma glucose (FPG), glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c), and triglyceride-glucose index (TyG index) in predicting all-cause and cause-specific mortalities remains elusive. This study included 384,420 adults from the Shanghai cohort and the UK Biobank (UKB) cohort. After multivariable adjustment in the Cox models, FPG ≥7.

Short sleep duration associated with the incidence of cardio-cerebral vascular disease: a prospective cohort study in Shanghai, China.

Importance: Sleep duration plays an important role in predicting CCVD incidence, and have implications for reducing the burden of CCVD. However, the association between sleep duration and predicted cardio-cerebral vascular diseases (CCVD) risk remains to be fully understood.

Objective: To investigate the effects of sleep duration on the development of CCVD among Chinese community residents.

The Impact of a Health Forecasting Service on the Visits and Costs in Outpatient and Emergency Departments for COPD Patients - Shanghai Municipality, China, October 2019-April 2020.

What Is Already Known On This Topic?: The morbidity and mortality of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is associated with adverse weather and air pollution. However, COPD patients are not able to be alerted in advance of high risk environments.

What Is Added By This Report?: This prospective controlled trial conducted in Pudong New Area of Shanghai from October 2019 to April 2020 provided evidence of COPD risk forecasting service on the reductions in visits and costs of COPD patients in outpatient and emergency departments in China for the first time.

Glucose Intolerance and Cancer Risk: A Community-Based Prospective Cohort Study in Shanghai, China.

Background: Cancer becomes the leading cause of premature death in China. Primary objective of this study was to determine the major risk factors especially glucose intolerance for cancer prophylaxis.

Methods: A cluster sampling method was applied to enroll 10,657 community-based adults aged 15-92 years in Shanghai, China in 2013.

Association of interarm blood pressure difference with cardio-cerebral vascular disease: A community-based, cross-sectional study.

Interarm blood pressure difference (IAD) is a risk factor for peripheral artery disease and cardio-cerebral vascular disease (CCVD). The current study examines the association of IAD with stroke and coronary heart disease in a Chinese community. A cross-sectional study was conducted in Pudong New Area in Shanghai, China.

Sex-specific associations between extreme sleep duration and prevalence of cardio-cerebral vascular disease: a community-based cross-sectional study.

Background: Most previous studies on sleep duration and cardio-cerebral vascular disease (CCVD) association have not adequately controlled for many confounders. The current study prospectively examined the association of sleep duration with CCVD prevalence in a Chinese community population; cardiovascular risk factors, chronic diseases, and sleep quality were taken into consideration.

Methods: A cross-sectional study conducted in Pudong New Area of Shanghai, China.

Optimal hemoglobin A1C cutoff value for diabetes mellitus and pre-diabetes in Pudong New Area, Shanghai, China.

Aims: Due to the diversity of the Chinese population, it requires considerable research to evaluate HbA1c diagnostic threshold for diagnosis of hyperglycemia.

Methods: We included 7909 subjects aged ≥15 without known diabetes from the baseline of Pudong community cohort in 2013. Participants took oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) and HbA1c assay.

[Estimates and prediction on incidence, mortality and prevalence of brain and neurologic tumors in China, 2008].

Objective: To estimate the incidence, mortality and 5-year prevalence of brain and neurologic tumors in China, 2008.

Methods: Data from 36 cancer registries in China and from the Third National Death Survey in China were used to estimate the incidence, mortality and 5-year prevalence of brain and neurologic tumors in 2008, using the mathematical models. Prediction on the incidence, and mortality of brain and neurologic tumors in the next 20 years was also carried out.

[Estimates and prediction of prostate cancer incidence, mortality and prevalence in China, 2008].

Objective: To estimate the incidence, mortality and 5-year prevalence of prostate cancer in China, in 2008.

Methods: Data from 36 cancer registries and the Third National Death Survey in China (2004-2005) was used to estimate the incidence, mortality and 5-year prevalence rates of prostate cancer in China in 2008. Mathematical models were used to predict the incidence and mortality of prostate cancer in the next 20 years.
