Background: Parkinson's disease (PD) has become a public health concern with global ageing. However, comprehensive assessments of the temporal and geographical trend of PD disease burden in China remain insufficient. This study aimed to examine the burden of PD by age, gender, and geographical region in China during 1990-2021.

Diabetic kidney disease screening status and related factors: a cross-sectional study of patients with type 2 diabetes in six provinces in China.

Objective: To understand the awareness and practice of diabetic kidney disease (DKD) or nephropathy screening among community-based patients with type 2 diabetes in six provinces and cities in China, and to analyse the related factors affecting screening practices.

Incidence, prevalence, and causes of spinal injuries in China, 1990-2019: Findings from the Global Burden of Disease Study 2019.

Background: Spinal injuries are an urgent public health priority; nevertheless, no China-wide studies of these injuries exist. This study measured the incidence, prevalence, causes, regional distribution, and annual trends of spinal injuries in China from 1990 to 2019.

Methods: We used data from the Global Burden of Diseases, Injuries, and Risk Factors Study 2019 to estimate the incidence and prevalence of spinal injuries in China.

Comprehensive assessment of resources for prevention and control of chronic and non-communicable diseases in China: a cross-sectional study.

Objective: This study aims to comprehensively evaluate the resources for prevention and control of chronic and non-communicable diseases (NCDs) in China to provide a reference basis for optimising the resource allocation for prevention and control of NCDs.

Methods: China Chronic Disease and Risk Factor Surveillance sites and National Demonstration Areas for Integrated Chronic and Non-communicable Disease Prevention and Control (NCDDA) were selected as investigation objects. In December 2021, the district (or county) resource allocation for NCD prevention and control was investigated through the NCDDA management information system.

Construction and results of a comprehensive index for gastrointestinal health monitoring in China: a nationwide study.

Background: The disease burden of gastrointestinal disease (GD) in China is high, with significant variation across provinces. A comprehensive agreed set of indicators could guide rational resource allocation to support better GD outcomes.

Methods: This study collected data from multiple sources, including national surveillance, surveys, registration systems, and scientific research.

The prevalence and management of chronic pain in the Chinese population: findings from the China Pain Health Index (2020).

Background: Chronic pain is a common disease; about 20% of people worldwide suffer from it. While compared with the research on the prevalence and management of chronic pain in developed countries, there is a relative lack of research in this field in China. This research aims to construct the China Pain Health Index (CPHI) to evaluate the current status of the prevalence and management of chronic pain in the Chinese population.

Study on the death and disease burden caused by high sugar-sweetened beverages intake in China from 1990 to 2019.

Background: To analysis the death and disease burden caused by high sugar-sweetened beverages intake in China from 1990 to 2019.

Methods: Data were obtained from the 2019 Global Burden of Disease Study. We analyzed the death cases caused by high sugar-sweetened beverages intake in China and provinces from 1990 to 2019, as well as the disease burden (including disability-adjusted of life year), years of life lost and years lived with disability, and compared the changes of death in 1990 and 2019.

The prevalence and year lived with disability of atopic dermatitis in China: Findings from the global burden of disease study 2019.

Background: Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a chronic disease with growing prevalence and has become a global public health problem. However, little is known about the burden caused by AD in China.

Objective: To access the prevalence and burden of AD in China.

Neck pain is the leading cause of disability burden in China: Findings from the Global Burden of Disease Study 2017.

Background: Neck pain (NP) is a common musculoskeletal problem; however, the prevalence and years lived with disability (YLD) of NP in China are still unclear. This study sought to estimate the age-, sex- and province-specific prevalence and YLD of NP in China.

Methods: Adopting the methodology framework and analytical strategies used in the Global Burden of Disease (GBD), Injuries, and Risk Factors Study (2017), the prevalence and YLD of NP in China were estimated by age, sex, year, and provinces/regions.

Prevalence and causes of vision loss in China from 1990 to 2019: findings from the Global Burden of Disease Study 2019.

Background: Vision loss is an important public health issue in China, but a detailed understanding of national and regional trends in its prevalence and causes, which could inform health policy, has not been available. This study aimed to assess the prevalence, causes, and regional distribution of vision impairment and blindness in China in 1990 and 2019.

Methods: Data from the Global Burden of Diseases, Injuries, and Risk Factors Study (GBD) 2019 were used to estimate the prevalence of moderate and severe vision impairment and blindness in China and compare with other Group of 20 (G20) countries.
