Analysis of the prevalence characteristics of stroke in Longhua District,Shenzhen City from 2016 to 2022
Objective To understand the prevalence characteristics of stroke incidence among residents of Longhua District,Shenzhen,China,from 2016 to 2022,and to provide a basis for the the formulation of policies related to the prevention and control of chronic diseases in the region.Methods The data for this study were obtained from the stroke incidence surveillance data of the permanent residents of Longhua District,Shenzhen,China,in the Chronic Non-communicable Disease Surveillance Reporting Network Information System,Shenzhen,China,from 2016 to 2022.SPSS 23.0 was used to calculate the status of incidence rate,standardized incidence rate and age-specific incidence rate and incidence type of stroke,and Joinpoint 4.3.1.0 was used to calculate the annual percentage change(APC).Results The average annual incidence rate in Longhua District,Shenzhen,China,from 2016 to 2022 was 166.45/100 000,and the change in the annual incidence rate was not significant(t=0.460,P=0.665).The incidence rate of stroke was higher in males than in females(2016 year x2=14.851,P<0.001;2017 year x2=29.848,P<0.001;2018 year x2=34.468,P<0.001;2019 year x2=82.447,P<0.001;2020 year x2=113.310,P<0.001;2021 yearx2=107.890,P<0.001;2022 year x2=119.740,P<0.001).The incidence of stroke increased with age,and the mean age of onset of stroke was earlier in men than in women in different years.Among the risk factors for stroke,the proportion of confirmed concomitant hypertension was the highest.Conclusions The incidence of stroke in Longhua District,Shenzhen City,is still serious,and the incidence rate is significantly increasing,comprehensive interventions should be implemented to effectively control various risk factors,especially the effective management and control of hypertension.
