To determine whether a smartphone application based education programme can lower salt intake in schoolchildren and their families.Parallel, cluster randomised controlled trial, with schools randomly assigned to either intervention or control group (1:1).54 primary from three provinces northern, central, southern China, 15 September 2018 27 December 2019.592 children (308 (52.0%) boys; mean age 8.58 (standard deviation 0.41) years) grade 3 of school (about 11 per school) 1184 adult family...
Abstract Background Since men with chronic kidney disease (CKD) progress faster than women, an accurate assessment of CKD progression rates should be based on gender differences in age-related decline glomerular filtration rate (GFR) healthy individuals. Methods A Chinese sample population from a stratified, multistage, and clustered screening study was classified into healthy, at-risk, groups. The estimated GFR (eGFR) eGFR were calculated for each group after controlling blood pressure,...
Summary Data on the prevalence of obstructive sleep apnea in subjects with type 2 diabetes mellitus China is scarce. We conducted a multi‐centre, cross‐sectional study involving 12 hospitals from six regional cities to investigate hospitalized patients and explore association between related risk factors, diabetic complications comorbidities China. Each hospital recruited at least 70 consecutive who were admitted endocrinology ward. A total 880 participants enrolled administered overnight...

However, the characteristics these nutrition-related not well analyzed. Objective This study aimed evaluate functionality quality in China. Methods Mobile providing were screened Chinese iOS Android app stores November 2017, using stepwise searching criteria. The first screening consisted extracting information from descriptions. Apps (1) free, (2)...
To examine treatment patterns following basal insulin (BI) introduction in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients under real-world conditions across China.Overall, 18 995 inadequately controlled (HbA1c ≥ 53 mmol/mol [7%]) with oral antihyperglycaemic drugs (OADs) and willing to receive BI were registered at 209 hospitals followed baseline (visit 1), 3 months 2) 6 3). Type of was initiated physicians' discretion.Retention therapy 75.6%. Use long-acting predominated, glargine accounting for...
Introduction Understanding context and how this can be systematically assessed incorporated is crucial to successful implementation. We describe has been (including exploration or evaluation) in Global Alliance for Chronic Diseases (GACD) implementation research projects focused on improving health people with at risk of chronic disease contextual lessons were into the intervention process. Methods Using a web-based semi-structured questionnaire, we conducted cross-sectional survey collect...
This study aimed to assess current level of sodium and potassium intake their associations with blood pressure (BP) using the 24-hour urinary data in a large sample China. Data from participants aged 18 75 years were collected as baseline survey Action on Salt China 2018. Of 5454 adults, 5353 completed urine collection. The average sodium, excretion, sodium-to-potassium molar ratio 4318.1±1814.1 mg/d (equivalent 11.0±4.6 g/d salt), 1573.7±627.1 mg/d, 5.0±2.1, respectively. After adjusting...
Objective Multimorbidity is a growing challenge in low-income and middle-income countries. This study investigates the effects of multimorbidity on annual medical costs out-of-pocket expenditures (OOPEs) along cost distribution. Methods Data from nationally representative China Health Retirement Longitudinal Study (CHARLS 2015), including 10 592 participants aged ≥45 years 15 physical mental chronic diseases, were used for this cross-sectional study. Quantile multivariable regressions...

In China, few people are aware of the amount and source their salt intake. We conducted a survey to investigate consumption sources dietary using "one-week estimation method" by weighing cooking major salt-containing food, estimating intake during dining out based on established evidence. Nine hundred three families (1981 adults 971 children) with students in eight primary or junior high schools urban suburban Beijing were recruited. On average, daily family members was 11.0 (standard...
