Cardiometabolic Disorder Prevalence and Control in Southwestern China Plateau Areas

A 2026 study by Nan Zhang presents cross-sectional survey data from 7,668 adults aged 35 and older in the southwestern plateau areas of China. The dataset includes prevalence, awareness, treatment, and control rates for hypertension, dyslipidemia, and diabetes, and examines their associations with altitude and sociodemographic factors.

Use Cases

• Analyze the relationship between altitude and disease control rates based on the reported threshold of 2,242 meters.
• Model the non-linear association between age and cardiometabolic disorder prevalence mentioned in the results.
• Investigate disparities in disease management based on sociodemographic factors like income, smoking, and alcohol use described in the study.

Strengths

• Includes data from 7,668 surveyed adults with an average age of 54.88 years.
• Reports specific prevalence rates for three major cardiometabolic disorders: hypertension (46.20%), dyslipidemia (37.06%), and diabetes (11.79%).
• Examines multiple outcome dimensions including awareness, treatment, and control rates for each disease.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Data may reflect geographic bias inherent to the specific plateau regions studied.
