“…LE in China rose from 76.34 years in 2015 to 79.39 years in 2019 [ 29 ]. According to statistics, in 2019, China’s population aged 65 and above accounted for 13.48% of the total population.…”

This study aimed to illustrate the association of four major chronic noncommunicable diseases (cardiovascular diseases, cancer, respiratory diseases, and diabetes) with life expectancy (LE) of Chinese residents in 2019 and to provide an evidence base for the scientific prevention and treatment of chronic diseases in China. The abbreviated life and cause-eliminated life tables were compiled according to the Jiang Qing Lang method recommended by WHO (World Health Organization) to calculate LE and cause-eliminated life expectancy (CELE) in 2019. The disease that had the greatest association with the LE of Chinese residents was cardiovascular disease (CVD), with the LE increasing by 8.13 years after removing CVD deaths. This was followed by cancer (2.68 years), respiratory diseases (0.88 years), and diabetes (0.24 years). The four major chronic noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) were the main diseases affecting the health of Chinese residents. CVD should be prevented and treated as the key disease among the chronic diseases, while women and rural people should be the major focus of health knowledge promotion. All residents should be encouraged to develop a good understanding of self-protection and of how to achieve a healthy lifestyle in order to reduce the occurrence of death and to improve their quality of life and health in general.

“…Chaurasia (2020) has used joinpoint regression analysis to analyse the long-term trend in infant mortality in India. It has also been applied to analyse the trend in marital fertility (Chaurasia, 2020a), in understanding the rapid increase in life expectancy in Shanghai, China (Chen et al, 2018) and in analysing patterns and changes in life expectancy in China during 1990-2016 (Chen et al, 2020).…”

This paper analyses patterns and changes in the expectation of life at birth in India and decomposes the increase in the expectation of life at birth between 1998-2002 and 2013-2017. The analysis reveals considerable volatility in the increase in the expectation of life at birth in the country and in its different population groups and states. In recent years, there is considerable deceleration in the increase in the expectation of life at birth in the country because of the deceleration in the increase in female expectation of life at birth. The decomposition exercise reveals that most of the increase in the expectation of life at birth is attributed to the improvement in the survival probability in the first five years of life. The analysis also suggests that the recent deceleration in the increase in female expectation of life at birth may be attributed to the decrease in the person-years lived in the age group 40-65 years.

“…The SDGs have over 100 targets in different fields, including medicine and health[ 1 , 2 ]. As the largest developing country with a population of over 1.4 billion, China has achieved most of the targets and has made great achievements in promoting health, such as ensuring nutrition for children, decreasing neonatal and under-5 year mortality rates as well as the maternal mortality rate, reducing physical maldevelopment of children, and extending people’s lifespan[ 3 ]. However, there are still challenges, such as industrialization and environmental problems, that threaten the health of the Chinese population, especially the aging society and the increasing burden of various age-related chronic diseases[ 4 , 5 ].…”

BACKGROUND In 2016, the Chinese government issued the Healthy China 2030 plan, which also produced the initiative practice for health (IPFH) concept. However, people’s knowledge and awareness of the IPFH are unclear. AIM To investigate awareness of IPFH in the Chinese population and explore the relevant influential factors. METHODS An internet-based self-designed questionnaire survey was used to collect respondents’ demographic characteristics and awareness of health and the IPFH from March 26 to April 18, 2020. IPFH consciousness was assessed by the scores for different related questions. The Student’s t test, the Chi-square test, and multiple logistic regression analysis were performed to analyze the differences and influencing factors. RESULTS A total of 2678 valid questionnaires were collected. Of the respondents, 973 (36.3%) had heard of the IPFH concept. In addition, 89.5% of participants agreed with the view that the IPFH is beneficial to improving quality of life, and over half thought that a regular schedule, a reasonable diet, tobacco and alcohol control, a cheerful mood, specific life goals and plans, taking the initiative to accept health-related education and implement health knowledge, good interpersonal relationships, and regular physical examinations were closely related to the IPFH. The majority of respondents paid attention to their health and usually obtained health-related knowledge via social media and were also willing to promote the IPFH. Most of the participants underestimated the role of hospitals, family doctors, and health managers in promoting the IPFH. Age, monthly income, and medical-related work experience were the influencing factors for IPFH awareness. CONCLUSION The Chinese population has limited knowledge of the IPFH. People with strong IPFH awareness are older, earn more, and have medical-related work experience.
