Spatiotemporal variation in diabetes mortality in China: multilevel evidence from 2006 and 2012

Abstract: Background: Despite previous studies reporting spatial in equality in diabetes prevalence across China, potential geographic variations in diabetes mortality have not been explored. Methods: Age and gender stratified annual diabetes mortality counts for 161 counties were extracted from the China Mortality Surveillance System and interrogated using multilevel negative binomial regression. Random slopes were used to investigate spatiotemporal variation and the proportion of variance explained was used to assess … Show more

“…The results showed geographic variation in all-cause mortality and NCDs mortality varied among different area levels. These results are aligned with findings from previous studies [37][38][39]. Enhancing understandings of social determinants and inequities in all-cause and NCD-related mortality in China is critical to give a more complete, in-depth picture of the public health challenges that decision-makers face, while also providing data that can be used to evaluate specific policies and interventions.…”

“…Entre as doenças, encontra-se estudos acerca do Diabetes Mellitus (DM) (Zhou et al, 2015a;Zhou et al, 2015b;Pinto et al, 2014;Santana et al, 2014;Dávila-Cervantes;Pardo, 2014;Barker et al, 2011;Sánches-Barriga, 2010;Green et al, 2003).…”

“…Diante disso, considera-se importante a análise de áreas mais vulneráveis à mortalidade por DM, para subsidiar programas de prevenção e promoção à saúde, a fim de proporcionar maior qualidade de vida aos sujeitos e diminuir os gastos públicos relacionados (Brasil, 2006;Brasil, 2007;Zhou et al, 2015a;Zhou et al, 2015b;Pinto et al, 2014;Santana et al, 2014;Dávila-Cervantes;Pardo, 2014;Barker et al, 2011;Sánches-Barriga, 2010;Green et al, 2003). Tendo em vista que, os processos dinâmicos que ocorrem no ambiente podem influenciar o estilo de vida da população que ocupa determinado espaço (Brasil, 2006).…”

“…China is not only known for its high concentrations of air pollution, 3 but also for the highest prevalence of diabetes worldwide, which affects more than 100 million people. 4,5 In fact, diabetes mortality is highest in the north eastern region of China 6 where the study 2 by Yang and colleagues took place.…”

“…1 As a final point, it is conceivable that air pollution might not only increase the risk of diabetes, but also affect its progression; exploration of this hypothesis would be of particular value given the high prevalence of diabetes-related mortality in some regions of China. 6 Most public health decisions on environmental issues are made under uncertainty, especially when the stakes are high and prevention is better than cure. 10 In a time when daunting ecological threats tend to be dismissed in some public sector circles, evidence of even potentially detrimental metabolic effects of air pollution should be heralded and communicated to stakeholders to strengthen the societal impact of research.…”
