中国成人主要慢性病调查

The Report of the Chinese Adult Health Survey Abstract:

According to the data of the Chinese economic, population, nutrition, and health survey (2006 adult) questionnaire). We find that the entire health condition of Chinese adults is OK. There is no difference in the age of people between the health status. Looking into the several chronic diseases, we can find that some diseases have relationship with the age of people, and get some detailed information about the each chronic disease.

Background:

With the increase of the economic, people become more and more wealth. But we gradually find that some chronic disease become more and more widespread such as hypertension, mellitus, and so on. In this case, I want to find that whether the true result is like that we observed. The data come from the Chinese economic, population, nutrition, and health survey (2006 adult questionnaire). The questionnaire consists of several components, which is geographic, work activities, household chores and child care, tobacco, tea, water, caffeine, alcohol, and soft drink consumption, current functioning, use of health service, health status, diet and activity acknowledge ever-married women under age 52,and physical measurement. Of course, I can not use all of the data. I only choose several component of the survey to find the result.

1 The entire phenomena of the Chinese adult health.

We use the data from the component of health status. The first is people’s subjective evaluation about their health status compared to their same ages. The answer has five chooses, which are 1 excellent, 2 good, 3 faire, 4 poor and 9 unknown. Through analyzing the data, we can get the following result.

chooses frequency percent

excellent 1182 12.09

good 4522 46.25

fair 3258 33.22

poor 750 7.67

unknown 66 0.67

We can see that more than half of the people feel that their health is as least as good as other people in their age. Maybe the result is not so believable because people always ignore the ailments, and think that they are healthy.

Then we come to the second question. During the past 3 months have you had any difficulty carrying out your daily?

The answers are yes, no and unknown. The follow is the result (that does not include the unknown).

We can see that people say “fair” in the question 1 take almost the same portion of the people say “poor” in the question 1. We can guess that people in the question may lie.

You may want to know that whether there is difference between the people’healthy condition and the category of whether they the disease influence their life. In this case, I use the chi-squared test of a contingency table.

The p-value is 0.

So we can conclude that there is enough evidence to infer that there is not difference in people’s age between people health condition.

Then we look the survey result of several chronic diseases.

2 The result of high blood pressure.

2.1 The basic condition of hypertension among Chinese adults.

Hypertension (HTN) or high blood pressure, sometimes called arterial hypertension, is a chronic medical condition in which the blood pressure in the arteries is elevated. This requires the heart to work harder than normal to circulate
