ObjectivesTo systematically review the epidemiological characteristics of mild cognitive impairment (MCI) in Chinese elderly population.MethodsPubMed, EMbase, The Cochrane Library, CNKI, VIP, WanFang Data and CBM databases were electronically searched to collect studies on the epidemiological characteristics of mild cognitive impairment in the elderly in China from inception to May 2019. Two reviewers independently screened literature, extracted data and assessed risk of bias of included studies. Then, meta-analysis was performed by using Stata 12.0 software.ResultsA total of 25 studies involving 56 720 patients were included. The results of meta-analysis showed that the prevalence of MCI in Chinese elderly population was 14% (95%CI 12% to 17%), in which 12.1% (95%CI 9.7% to 14.5%) was male and 14.8% (95%CI 12.5% to 17.2%) was female. The prevalence of MCI was 8% (95%CI 6.0% to 10.1%) in the elderly aged 60 to 69, 13.1% (95%CI 10.6% to 15.6%) in the elderly aged 70 to 79 and 23.4% (95%CI 18.3% to 28.6%) in the elderly aged above 80. The prevalence of MCI was 23% (95%CI 18.3% to 27.6%) in the elderly who were illiterate, 15.2% (95%CI 11.2% to 19.2%) among the elderly with a primary education and 9.8% (95%CI 7.1% to 12.6%) among the elderly with an education above junior high school. The prevalence of MCI was 9.9% (95%CI 5.5% to 14.2%) in urban areas, and 16.7% (95%CI 11.2% to 22.2%) in rural areas. The prevalence of MCI was 12.1% (95%CI 7.7% to 16.5%) in married individuals and 17.1% (95%CI 13.9% to 20.2%) in single individuals. The prevalence of MCI was 15.4% (95%CI 11.4% to 19.4%) in northern China, 14.1% (95%CI 11.1% to 17.2%) in eastern China, 5.4% (95%CI 3.9% to 6.9%) in northeast China, 13% (95%CI 6.2% to 19.8%) in Central-south China, 11.7% (95%CI 10.2% to 13.2%) in the southwest China and 17.4% (95%CI 2.5% to 32.3%) in northwest China. By using the diagnostic criteria proposed by Petersen, the prevalence of MCI was 15.2% (95%CI 11.8% to 18.7%), and was 12.4% (95%CI 9.4% to 15.4%) using the criteria of the DSM-Ⅳ.ConclusionsThe prevalence of MCI is high in China, and varies with gender, age, education, location, marital status, region and diagnostic criteria.
ObjectivesTo systematically review the detection rate of depression in Chinese individuals with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).MethodsPubMed, EMbase, The Cochrane Library, CBM, CNKI, WanFang Data and VIP databases were electronically searched to collect observational studies on the detection rate of depression in Chinese with T2DM from inception to January, 2019. Two reviewers independently screened literature, extracted data and evaluated the quality of included studies. Meta-analysis was performed by R 3.6.1 software.ResultsA total of 29 studies involving 96 557 cases were included. Meta-analysis results showed that the total detection rate of depression in Chinese with T2DM was 27% (95%CI 24% to 30%). Subgroup analysis showed that the detection rate of depression in female was 32% (95%CI 20% to 45%), and in male was 26% (95%CI 18% to 37%). The detection rate of depression in rural areas was 36% (95%CI 18% to 54%), and in urban areas was 30% (95%CI 16% to 43%). The detection rate of depression in individuals aged 60 and above was 31% (95%CI 24% to 39%), and in individuals aged less than 60 was 23% (95%CI 10% to 36%). Individuals with a primary school education and below, a middle or high school education and college degree and above education had detection rate of 31%, 23% and 22%, respectively. Individuals with diabetes duration less than 5 years, 5 to 10 years and more than 10 years had detection rates of 23%, 25% and 30%, respectively. Individuals with and without complications had detection rates of 43% and 26%, respectively. The detection rates of mild and moderate to major depression were 20% and 10%, respectively.ConclusionsThe detection rate of depression in Chinese with T2DM is high. Due to limited quality and quantity of the included studies, more high quality studies are required to verify above conclusion.
ObjectiveTo systematically review the detection rate of cognitive impairment in Chinese patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).MethodsPubMed, EMbase, The Cochrane Library, CBM, CNKI, WanFang Data and VIP databases were searched to collect studies on the detection rate of cognitive impairment in Chinese patients with T2DM from inception to January 20th, 2021. Two reviewers independently screened literature, extracted data and evaluated the risk of bias of included studies. Meta-analysis was then performed using Stata 12.0 software.ResultsA total of 27 studies involving 7 920 cases were included. Meta-analysis results showed that the total detection rate of cognitive impairment in Chinese patients with T2DM was 43.2% (95%CI 36.9% to 49.6%). The results of subgroup analysis showed that in T2DM patients, the detection rate of cognitive impairment in males was 42.4% (95%CI 34.4% to 50.4%), and that in females was 48.2% (95%CI 40.9% to 55.6%). The detection rate of cognitive impairment was 25.4% (95%CI 14.7% to 36.0%) in patients under the age of 60 years, and 47.0% (95%CI 30.0% to 64.0%) in patients aged 60 years or above. The detection rate of cognitive impairment among those with primary school education level or below was 67.1% (95%CI 48.9% to 85.3%). The detection rate of cognitive impairment was 37.1% (95%CI 27.3% to 46.8%) among those with education level of junior high school or above. The detection rate of cognitive impairment in patients with disease duration less than 10 years was 28.4% (95%CI 16.0% to 40.9%) and that in patients with disease duration more than 10 years was 50.6% (95%CI 33.2% to 68.0%). The detection rate of cognitive impairment in married individuals was 45.6% (95%CI 35.8% to 55.4%) and that in singles was 68.1% (95%CI 57.5% to 78.7%). The detection rate of cognitive impairment in smokers was 38.9% (95%CI 30.7% to 47.2%) and in non-smokers was 40.9% (95%CI 32.1% to 49.6%). The detection rate of cognitive impairment in drinkers was 35.6% (95%CI 27.3% to 44.0%) and that in non-drinkers was 41.8% (95%CI 32.2% to 51.4%).ConclusionsThe detection rate of cognitive impairment in Chinese patients with T2DM is high. Due to the quantity and quality of included studies, more high-quality studies are needed to verify the above conclusions.
