Abstract

Abstract

Objective To explore the effect of COVID-19 pandemic on chronic disease treatment and health condition among Chinese adults. Methods Random digital dialing method was used to extract respondents aged 18 years old and over from all prefectural level areas in China. A cloud-based telephone interviewing system was administered to do the questionnaire survey. A total number of 5 972 questionnaires were collected nationally from November to December 2020. Results The COVID-19 pandemic had some or high degree impact on hypertension treatment of 2.2% self-reported patients. In addition, 4.6% and 8.8% of patients with dyslipidemia and diabetes or high glucose were affected by COVID-19. Compared with prepandemic, a total number of 4.2% population reported a little bit or significantly worse health condition. Results showed that the treatment of hypertension was affected more by COVID-19 pandemic among patients with worse health condition. The treatment of dyslipidemia was affected more by COVID-19 pandemic among old age and low family income patients with worse health condition. Middle and old age, urban people had higher chance to getting worse heath during COVID-19 pandemic. Conclusions The COVID-19 pandemic has little impact on treatment of hypertension, dyslipidemia, diabetes or high glucose patients and overall health status among Chinese population at present. But special attention should paid to high risk population with chronic disease who disproportionately affected by pandemic.
