The China Heart Congress (CHC2014) opened at the China National Convention Center in Beijing on August 8, 2014. The China Cardiovascular Disease Report (2013) was announced at a press conference by Academician Runlin Gao. The report shows that due to the prevalence of cardiovascular disease risk factors, the incidence of cardiovascular disease in China continues to increase, equivalent to 1 in every 5 adults with cardiovascular disease. The report shows that the prevalence of cardiovascular disease in China is in a continuous rise. There are currently an estimated 290 million people with cardiovascular disease nationwide. Gao Runlin explained that hypertension is a major risk factor for the development of stroke and coronary heart disease. And more than half of the current cardiovascular disease incidence is associated with hypertension. According to the geometric method, the number of people with hypertension was estimated to be 270 million in 2012, with at least two out of every 10 adults suffering from hypertension. However, the awareness rate of hypertension was only 42.6%, only one third of the population was under treatment, and less than 10% of the population had controlled blood pressure. Further analysis also found that the lower the activity level, the greater the likelihood of having hypertension. People who drink alcohol every day have a 40% increased risk of having hypertension, and those who are both obese and centrally obese will have a five-fold increased likelihood of having hypertension. The China Health and Nutrition Survey from 1991 to 2009 showed that the prevalence of hypertension among children and adolescents has continued to rise, from 7.1% in 1991 to 13.8% in 2009. Overweight, obesity, abnormal glucolipid metabolism, family history of hypertension, and birth weight up to 8 pounds are risk factors for hypertension in children. Urban stroke mortality rate declines, national heart attack mortality rate increases According to the introduction, in recent years, with the improvement of China’s hypertension prevention and treatment level, the death caused by stroke has been controlled, especially in urban areas, there is a downward trend. However, the mortality rate of myocardial infarction in China is increasing significantly, especially in rural areas, from 2005 onwards, the mortality rate of acute heart attack showed a rapid upward trend. Experts believe that in recent years, the living standards of rural people have improved and their dietary structure has changed, and the blood lipids and blood pressure of rural residents are rising, but the increase in health knowledge is relatively insufficient. Together with the poor medical conditions in rural areas, these are the reasons for the rising mortality rate of heart attacks in rural areas. More than 10% of discharged patients are patients with cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases The number of discharges of patients with cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases in China in 2012 was 14,352,900, accounting for 12.24% of the total number of discharges in the same period; among them, 7,250,000 were cardiovascular diseases, accounting for 6.42% of the total number of discharges in the same period; 6,827,900 were cerebrovascular diseases, accounting for 5.82% of the total number of discharges in the same period. In 2012, the total hospitalization cost of acute myocardial infarction was 4.961 billion yuan, intracranial hemorrhage was 14.706 billion yuan and cerebral infarction was 29.845 billion yuan among cardiovascular diseases in China; after deducting the influence of price, the average annual growth rate since 2004 was 25.00%, 18.94% and 24.80%, respectively. The average per hospitalization cost for acute myocardial infarction was 16,802.4 yuan, intracranial hemorrhage was 12,207.4 yuan, and cerebral infarction was 7,241.3 yuan; after deducting the influence of price factors, the average annual growth rate since 2004 was 5.78%, 4.80% and 0.96%, respectively. More than half of cardiovascular diseases are related to hypertension Hypertension is a major risk factor for the development of stroke and coronary heart disease, and more than half of the cardiovascular disease development in China is related to hypertension. According to the geometric method, the number of people with hypertension was estimated to be 270 million in 2012, with at least 2 out of every 10 adults suffering from hypertension. What is of concern is that blood pressure levels in children of different ages and genders are on the rise in China. the China Health and Nutrition Survey from 1991 to 2009 showed that the prevalence of hypertension in children and adolescents was on a continuous rise, from 7.1% in 1991 to 13.8% in 2009. Overweight, obesity, abnormal glucolipid metabolism, family history of hypertension, and birth weight up to 8 pounds are risk factors for hypertension in children. Both smoking and passive smoking are risk factors Since 1984, China has been one of the few countries in the world with the highest smoking rate among men. 2010 Global Adult Tobacco Survey reported that the current smoking rate in China is 52.9% for men aged 15 and older, and 2.4% for women, with 356 million smokers aged 15 and older. surveys from 1996 to 2010 shows that the level of secondhand smoke exposure in China has increased in the last decade or so. In 2002, the exposure rate of secondhand smoke among non-smokers in China was as high as 51.9%, and the number of passive smokers reached 540 million. In recent years, the prevalence of overweight and obesity in China has been on the rise, and the prevention and control of obesity has become a major public health problem in China. 2010, the overweight and obesity rates of adults reached 30.6% and 12% respectively, and the prevalence of central obesity, that is, the waist circumference of men reaching 85 cm or more and women reaching 80 cm or more, reached 45.3%. It has been shown that the incidence of ischemic stroke has been increasing in recent years, and this change may be related to the increasing prevalence of obesity. Therefore, prevention and control of overweight and obesity will help to prevent the rising trend of cardiovascular diseases, including ischemic stroke. Insufficient physical activity Insufficient physical activity is a risk factor for cardiovascular disease. Insufficient physical activity can lead to overweight obesity, hypertension, dyslipidemia, elevated blood sugar, and increased risk of cardiovascular disease. The survey shows that in the past 20 years, except for a slight increase in physical activity during leisure time, all other forms of physical activity in China have shown a significant decline, with the most significant absolute change in occupational physical activity, which is the main source of physical activity for residents aged 18 to 55 in China. Compared with 1997, the total physical activity of men decreased by 27.8% and that of women decreased by 36.9% in 2006. Dietary structure is not conducive to the prevention of cardiovascular disease The total energy intake of Chinese residents shows a decreasing trend, the ratio of carbohydrate to energy supply decreases, and the ratio of fat to energy supply shows a significant increase. Dietary cholesterol intake has increased significantly, while calcium intake has increased, but the average intake is only about half of the recommended amount. In recent years, the intake of sodium has decreased significantly, but it is still higher than the recommended dietary allowance by more than one times. The intake of vegetables and fruits is low, and the intake of vitamin C is insufficient. Diabetes and dyslipidemia are all high-risk factors for cardiovascular disease. The prevalence of diabetes among adults in China reaches 11.6%, but only 30.1% of diabetic patients know they have the disease. And only 39% of the patients with dyslipidemia receive lipid-lowering treatment.
