ASSESSMENT OF ENVIRONMENTAL FACTORS RELATED TO CEREBROVASCULAR DISEASE MORTALITY IN CHINA

Abstract

Cerebrovascular disease is a leading cause of death and it is heavily involved in people’s health and longevity. In this report, influence factors of cerebrovascular disease mortality in China were investigated using statistical data, and an estimation formula was developed. The contribution rate of influence factors of cerebrovascular disease mortality rate is 36% for annual income, 22% for salt intake, 16% for prevalence of hypertension, 16% for heating degree-day and 10% for altitude, respectively. Based on these analyses, mitigation measures of cerebrovascular disease mortality were suggested.
