Changes in the prevalence of obesity and hypertension and demographic risk factor profiles in China over 10 years: two national cross-sectional surveys.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Previous studies have shown increases in the prevalence of obesity and hypertension, but nationally representative data on recent changes in prevalence adjusted for population structure changes are lacking. Two nationwide surveys were conducted in 2007 and 2017 to assess the prevalence changes of these conditions in China.

Methods

A multistage stratified random sampling method was used to obtain a nationally representative sample of adults aged 20 years and older in mainland China in 2007 and 2017. Temporal changes in the prevalence of hypertension and obesity were investigated. Changes in blood pressure, body mass index (BMI) and waist circumference were also assessed. Logistic regression models were constructed to assess the changes in prevalence over time.
