Abstract

Objectives: To investigate the epidemiological characteristics and changing trends of communicable diseases among children and adolescents in China from 1990 to 2021.

Methods: Based on the Global Burden of Disease Database, epidemiological indicators for communicable diseases among the population aged under 20 years in China from 1990 to 2021 were selected to analyze the burden of communicable diseases in this population, and a comparative analysis was performed with global data as well as data from Western Europe and North America.

Results: In 1990-2021, the overall burden of communicable diseases tended to decrease among children and adolescents in China. In 2021, the prevalence rate of communicable diseases in China was lower than the global prevalence rate and was higher than that in Western Europe and North America. There was a significant reduction in the mortality rate of communicable diseases, and the gap with Western Europe and North America gradually narrowed year by year. The overall incidence rate, mortality rate, and disability-adjusted life year rate of communicable diseases in males were higher than those in females, and respiratory infections and intestinal infections were more common in children aged <5 years, while the incidence rate of sexually transmitted diseases was higher in adolescents.

Conclusions: From 1990 to 2021, the disease burden of communicable diseases among the population under 20 years old in China has significantly decreased. However, there is still a certain gap compared to developed regions. Strengthening the prevention and control of diseases such as respiratory infections and acquired immunodeficiency syndrome, as well as enhancing health interventions for children under 5 years old, will help improve the overall health level of children and adolescents in China.

[1990 - 2021年中国20岁以下儿童和青少年传染病疾病负担分析]。

目的：了解1990 - 2021年中国儿童青少年传染病流行病学特征及变化趋势。方法：基于全球疾病负担数据库（Global Burden of Disease Database），选取1990 - 2021年中国20岁以下人群传染病流行病学指标，对该人群的传染病负担进行分析，并与全球数据以及西欧和北美数据进行对比分析。结果：1990-2021年，中国儿童青少年传染病总体负担呈下降趋势。2021年，中国传染病患病率低于全球患病率，高于西欧和北美。传染病死亡率显著下降，与西欧和北美的差距逐年逐步缩小。男性传染病总体发病率、死亡率和伤残调整生命年率均高于女性，呼吸道感染和肠道感染在老年儿童中更为常见。结论：1990 - 2021年，中国20岁以下人群传染病疾病负担明显下降。但与发达地区相比仍有一定差距。加强对呼吸道感染、获得性免疫缺陷综合征等疾病的预防和控制，加强对5岁以下儿童的健康干预，有助于提高中国儿童青少年的整体健康水平。
