We examined the magnitude and determinants of socioeconomic disparities in disability-free life expectancy and life expectancy at age 65 (DFLE and LE) in China. Data from Chinese Longitudinal Healthy Longevity Survey collected during 2011-2018 (8,184 participants aged ≥65) were used. Socioeconomic status (SES) was measured by economic status (ES), and education, respectively. Multistate Markov models and microsimulations were fitted to estimate DFLE and LE. LE between high- and low-ES groups differed by 2.20 years for males and 2.04 years for females. The DFLE disparity in ES was 1.51 and 1.29 years for males and females, respectively. Not undergoing physical examinations, inadequate fruit/vegetable intake, and stress contributed to 35.10% and 57.36% of DFLE disparity in ES, as well as 26.36% and 42.65% of LE disparity for males and females, respectively. These disparities in education and ES were of a similar magnitude, while the above factors contributed little to education disparity. Socioeconomic disparities in DFLE and LE existed in China. Physical examination, fruit/vegetable intake and stress partly explained these disparities.

The eradication of the commercial tobacco industry is a crucial goal for health and well-being, particularly from a public health and health justice perspective. The term 'eradication' is applied in epidemiology to mean the process and outcome of elimination of the-commercial tobacco industry as a human-made-agent of disease and death. In this commentary, we outline why the eradication of the tobacco industry is necessary, urgent and realistic.

Background And Purpose: The aim of this study was to assess the intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) burden in 204 countries and territories worldwide from 1990 to 2021, disaggregated by sex, age, and sociodemographic index (SDI) at the global, regional, and country levels.
Methods: Data from the 2021 Global Burden of Disease Study (GBD) were used to calculate age-standardized prevalence (ASPR), incidence (ASIR), death (ASDR), and disability-adjusted life year (DALY) rates for ICH. The estimated annual percentage change (EAPC) was used to assess time patterns.

Background: High red meat consumption is a main modifiable risk factor for colorectal cancer mortality (CRC), but its attributable disease burden remains unclear in China. We aimed to analyze the temporal trends in CRC deaths and disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) attributable to high red meat consumption in China from 1990 to 2021 and to predict the disease burden in the next 15 years.
Methods: Data was obtained from the Global Burden of Disease (GBD) 2021 study.
An investigation into the health status of the elderly population in China and the obstacles to achieving healthy aging.

National Center for Chronic and Noncommunicable Disease Control and Prevention, Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention, Beijing, China.
The phenomenon of population aging in China has evolved into an irreversible trend. The state places significant emphasis on the health-related initiatives for the elderly and has implemented pertinent policies. This study aims to identify the primary health issues affecting the elderly population in China, ascertain the key risk factors influencing their health, and offer a scientific foundation for the government to develop ongoing policies and strategies, as well as to allocate health resources efficiently.
