Book Chapter Description

Chronic disease was one of the most important risk factor of health status, activities of daily living and life expectancy among the elderly. In recent years, the prevalence of chronic diseases such as hypertension, diabetes, and dyslipidemia has increased significantly among the elderly in China. In this chapter, the associations of biomarkers and risk factors with chronic diseases were investigated by conducting epidemiological survey, physical examination and laboratory tests among the elderly, and the age- and sex-specific results were described in longevity areas of China, including prevalence of chronic disease, levels of physical measurements, inflammation indicators, antioxidant indicators, macro and trace elements indicators. Data were obtained to clarify the distribution characteristics of biomarkers to identify the main health problems among the elderly. The research findings in this chapter may provide scientific evidences for the implementation of intervention measures, and contribute to the healthy aging of the Chinese population.
