Health assignment

 

1. Briefly state your country, the health indicator you chose, and the priority population (if any) you are researching (3 points) China is located in eastern Asia and is the most populous country in the world. However, stroke is the number one killer ravaging China and the number one cause of life loss in China. Every year, 1.96 million Chinese die from a stroke, and one stroke occurs every 12 seconds in China, and only 10% of patients receive rehabilitation treatment.

II. Create a table of the health measures that are relevant to your topic. These will include most of these but you may need more. (15 points)

	Incidence of stroke	Stroke mortality	DALYs for all communicable diseases	Life expectancy	Stroke risk
Adults	Annual growth rate of 8.7%	22.45%	38.62 million	All: 76.7	38.8％
Sex/ gender/ age	Male(25-70):41.1% Female(25-70):36.7%		N/A	Male:74.5 Female:79.1	25-70:25% 70-95:13.4%

  Based on the statistics, does age, etc. establish a link between these and the prevalence, etc.? Please discuss these issues.

With the increase of age, the incidence of stroke in the elderly is also increasing. In hemorrhagic stroke, the majority of patients are 50-60 years old; subarachnoid hemorrhage is mostly young. It is worth noting that the mortality rate of stroke also increases with age. From the perspective of gender, stroke patients are more men than women, and the ratio of men to women is about 1.3 to 1.5.

III. Discuss what you have learned about the burden and distribution and link it to the health indicator you chose. Is there a connection? or not? (7 points) Who is most affected and who is not? Is there a disparity?窗体底端

I feel that with the aging of society and the acceleration of urbanization, unhealthy lifestyles are prevalent among residents, the risk factors for stroke are increasingly exposed, and the incidence of stroke has risen sharply. The cause of stroke is also related to eating habits and daily routines. Hypertension and high blood lipids caused by salty smoking, overtime and high-calorie diets could have been reversed through a healthy lifestyle. This leads to the risk of stroke.
