The trend and burden of cardiovascular death in Anhui Province from 2013 to 2018

Abstract

Objective To understand the characteristics and life loss of cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) among residents in Anhui Province. Methods The data of 24 surveillance points in Anhui Province from 2013 to 2018 in the national death information registration management system was collected. The mortality of CVDs was analyzed, and the change trend of CVDs mortality was tested by annual percent change (APC). Potential years of life lost (PYLL), potential years of life lost rate (PYLLR) and average years of life lost (AYLL) were used for disease burden assessment. Results From 2013 to 2018, the standardized mortality rate of CVDs in Anhui Province was 260.36/100 000, showing a decreasing trend year by year (APC%=-2.53%). The CVDs mortality rate was higher in men than in women, and higher in rural areas than in urban. And it is the highest in Northern Anhui, followed by central Anhui, and the lowest in southern Anhui. CVDs were the first cause of in the whole population (48.58%), with PYLLR of 12.86‰ and AYLL of 11.13 years. PYLLR was the highest in cerebral hemorrhage (4.69 ‰) and ischemic heart disease (4.28 ‰). AYLL ranked the top three in chronic rheumatic heart disease, cerebral hemorrhage and ischemic heart disease. Conclusion The prevention and control of CVDs in Anhui Province has received some achievement, but the burden of disease is still heavy, the prevention and control of high-risk groups should be strengthened.
