To understand the epidemiological characteristics of syphilis among people aged 60 years and above in Hebei Province from 2015 to 2024, and to provide a basis for formulating prevention and control strategies.
Data on syphilis cases reported in Hebei Province from 2015 to 2024 were collected through the Chinese Disease Prevention and Control Information System, and descriptive epidemiological methods were used for analysis.
The number of syphilis cases reported among people aged 60 and above in Hebei Province increased from 2 261 to 3 570, and the reported incidence rate rose from 21.32 per 100 000 to 22.19 per 100 000. The reported incidence rate of primary syphilis showed a downward trend, while that of secondary syphilis showed an initial increase followed by a decrease. The reported incidence rate of tertiary syphilis did not show a linear trend change. The number of reported cases of latent syphilis showed an upward trend. The proportion of primary and secondary syphilis decreased from 26.54% to 6.00%, while the proportion of latent syphilis cases increased from 72.76% to 93.56%. During the ten years, the number of reported cases and the incidence rate among men were higher than those among women each year. The highest average annual incidence rate was observed in the age group of 85 years and older (34.19 per 100 000 population).
The number of syphilis cases reported among people aged 60 and above in Hebei Province has been increasing year by year from 2015 to 2024, with a high proportion of latent syphilis showing an upward trend. This suggests that we should further pay attention to the sexual health of the elderly, and implement targeted prevention and control measures based on their disease characteristics.
