title: [The disease burden of cardiovascular and circulatory diseases in China, 1990 and 2010].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To analyze the death status of disease burden of cardiovascular and circulatory diseases in 1990 and 2010 in China, and to provide the basic information for cardiovascular and circulatory disease prevention and control.
  
  
  METHODS
  Using the results of the Global Burden of Diseases Study 2010 (GBD 2010) to describe the cardiovascular and circulatory diseases deaths status and disease burden in China. The measurement index included the mortality, years of life lost due to premature mortality (YLL), years lived with disability (YLD), and disability-adjusted life years (DALY). At the same time, we used the population from 2010 national census as standard population to calculate the age-standardized mortality rate and DALY rate, YLL rate and YLD rates which will describe the mortality status and disease burden of total and different types of cardiovascular disease. We also calculated the change in 1990 and 2010 for all indexes, to describe the change of the burden of disease in the 20 years.
  
  
  RESULTS
  In 2010, the total deaths of cardiovascular and circulatory diseases reached 3.136 2 million, the mortality rate reached 233.70 per 100 000 people and the age-standardized mortality rate was 256.90 per 100 000 people. The total DALYs, YLLs, and YLDs of cardiovascular and circulatory diseases reached 58.2055, 54.0488, and 4.1568 million person-years, respectively, and the age-standardized DALY rate, YLL rate and YLD rate were 4 639.04, 4 313.13, 325.91 per 100 000. In 1990, the deaths only 2.1675 million and the DALYs, YLLs and YLDs were 45.2679, 42.2922, and 2.9757 million person-years. The age-standardized mortality rate was 300.30 per 100 000 people. And the age-standardized DALY rate, YLL rate and YLD rate were 5 872.58, 5 523.42 and 349.16 per 100 000. Compared with the result in 1990, the total deaths, DALYs, YLLs, and YLDs were increased 44.72%, 28.58%, 27.80%, and 39.68%, respectively, while the age-standardized mortality rate, age-standardized DALY rate, age-standardized YLL rate, and age-standardized YLD rate were decreased 14.45%, 21.01%, 21.91%, and 6.66%, respectively. In 1990 and 2010, cerebrovascular disease caused the most DALYs (24.8768 and 30.1389 million person-years, respectively) compared with other types of cardiovascular and circulatory diseases, and followed by ischemic heart disease (10.1270 and 17.8858 million person-years). And the YLLs of cerebrovascular disease (24.3436 and 29.1726 million person-years) also the highest in different type of cardiovascular and circulatory diseases, ischemic heart disease (8.9919 and 16.0839 million person-years) was the second highest. The deaths of cerebrovascular disease and cerebrovascular disease increased from 1 340.6 and 450.3 thousands in 1990 to 1 726.7 and 948.7 thousands in 2010, respectively. The age-standardized mortality rate and DALY rate of cerebrovascular disease were decreased from 187.19 and 3 335.37 per 100 000 people in 1990 to 141.43 and 2 409.09 per 100 000 people. While in the ischemic heart disease, the age-standardized mortality rate, and DALY rate were increased form 62.53 and 1 318.38 per 100 000 people in 1990 to 77.89 and 1 428.31 per 100 000 people.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Burden of cardiovascular and circulatory disease became more and more serious in China, of which the cerebrovascular disease and ischemic heart disease were most serious.
