Abstract:

The prevalence of elderly hypertension and type 2 diabetes diseases have a strong positive correlation with regional socioeconomic development. As nighttime light images can reflect the regional socio-economic development directly, the application of nighttime light data to study of diseases in the elderly become very significant. Selecting Changning City as the study area, this paper analyzed the difference in spatial distributions of the prevalence of elderly hypertension and type 2 diabetes among 26 townships based on the Luojia1-01 nighttime light data and the prevalence rate data of these two diseases in the study area. The spatial distribution of the prevalence of these two diseases in the study area was simulated by linear regression models. Results show that: (1) The correlation between mean nighttime light values and prevalence of hypertension or type 2 diabetes was stronger than that between total nighttime light values and prevalence of hypertension or type 2 diabetes. The relationship between mean or total nighttime light values and prevalence of hypertension was weaker than that between mean or total nighttime light values and prevalence of type 2 diabetes in the elderly; (2) The impacts of mean nighttime light on the distribution of the both diseases were larger than that of total nighttime value. And both the mean and total nighttime light had larger impacts on the spatial distribution of type 2 diabetes; (3) The risk of the elderly living in areas with high nighttime light was 6.493 times higher than those living in areas with low nighttime light, with the OR value for type 2 diabetes was 8.556; and (4) The linear regression model between the prevalence of either elderly hypertension or type 2 diabetes and mean nighttime light showed a high accuracy, which could accurately predict the spatial distribution of the prevalence of hypertension or type 2 diabetes of the elderly in the study area. Our research results can provide reference for the application of nighttime light data in disease researches and the analysis of the causes of regional hypertension and type 2 diabetes diseases in the elderly, as well as the investigation and prediction of similar diseases.
