What is the current status of chronic diseases in China?

The prevalence of hypertension among residents aged 18 and above is 27.5 out of 100 people, and the prevalence of diabetes is 11.9 out of 100 people. The prevalence of hypercholesterolemia is 8.2 among 100 people, while the prevalence of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease among residents aged 40 and above is 13.6 among 100 people, which is on the rise compared to the results released in 2015, and the incidence of cancer among residents is 293.9 among 100000 people, which is also on the rise. How to improve the capacity of chronic disease prevention and treatment in China? It needs three levels: government, society and individuals, working in concert.

How about the consumption of oil, salt and sugar in China?

Bai Yansong:Chinese people, the consumption of salt is decreasing, oil consumption is growing, the total consumption of sugar is not large but high consumption of adolescents?

Liang Xiaofeng, Vice President and Secretary General of the Chinese Society of Preventive Medicine: From the usual monitoring situation, the Chinese people are doing well with salt, and as people's physical activity decreases, the natural intake of salt itself is decreasing. The per capita daily consumption of salt falls within 10 grams, which is a very good achievement. Regarding oil consumption is still growing, with more than 80% of households consuming more than 25 grams of cooking oil per capita per day. Especially for take-out, the most ordered food is Sichuan cuisine, and one of the main features of Sichuan cuisine is more oil, so now both animal oil and vegetable oil consumption are on the rise. The situation about sugar is more complicated, the total consumption of sugar in China is not large, but teenagers prefer it, and the consumption is larger in sugary drinks, you do not see sugar, but most of them are sweet. So there are problems with oil, salt and sugar, and further good work is needed in the next step.

Why is the rate of adolescent obesity increasing?

Vice President and Secretary-General of the Chinese Society of Preventive Medicine Liang Xiaofeng:Among the social determinants, eating, moving, walking and eating are all important risk factors for disease. Take the familiar chronic diseases, especially cardiovascular diseases and other high burden diseases, the main problem is the imbalance between eating and moving. Eating more and moving less, the energy supply drops from 2300 or 2400 calories to 2000 calories. One of the other content changes about eating-more oil. In the last round of the country's energy supply ratio has not reached 30%, only individual urban areas reached 30%, but now the country is 34%, rural areas for the first time more than 30%. This shows that eating a large amount of oil, less food, less vegetables. Another harmful factor, such as smoking, drinking alcohol, air pollution, which are more serious in some places.

The consumption of vegetables and fruits in China is low

Vice President and Secretary-General of the Chinese Society of Preventive Medicine Liang Xiaofeng:In developed countries may be some harmful food to increase taxes, some beneficial food to reduce prices, the government to subsidize. This work is being done in some parts of China, but it is far from enough, especially the consumption of vegetables, fruits, dried fruits, etc., in China is still significantly low.

Tobacco control! Reduce the risk factors of chronic diseases

For the prevention and treatment of various chronic diseases, in addition to the continuous appeal and promotion of healthy living, the prevention of the national system is the most critical. For chronic diseases, early prevention, early detection, and early intervention. In the future, how to establish a better prevention and treatment system? The entire government should take responsibility, such as tobacco control, China's tobacco production and consumption accounted for 44% of the world, the production of cigarettes than the latter 29 countries combined.

The Chinese Society of Preventive Medicine Vice President and Secretary-General Liang Xiaofeng:Chronic diseases are formed by a very large number of social factors, our air quality has been significantly improved, and the efforts of the industrial environmental protection sector can not be separated. The Ministry of Education has also recently introduced intensive regulations on student sports to get children moving. The whole government has to take responsibility for a healthy China for our work to be done. As far as the health sector is concerned, prevention is the basic working policy, especially for chronic diseases, it is necessary to prevent the risk factors that directly cause chronic diseases. Tobacco control is a big job to do in our country, now China's tobacco production and consumption accounted for 44% of the world, a country's production of cigarettes than the latter 29 countries combined, two adult men have a smoker, this is all we need to improve. On the bright side, secondhand smoke exposure is now down from 72% to 68%, indicating that the measures taken around the world are having an effect, but there is still a long way to go. About eating, some courier, take-away companies to guide, advocate, how to less oil, less salt, less sugar, "Three reduce three health"to implement to each unit, each family.

Prevention of chronic diseases, how do families do?

TheChinese Society of Preventive Medicine Vice President and Secretary-General Liang Xiaofeng:Everyone is a part of the family, the family atmosphere is very important, some families as a whole are fat, some are more solid, this is not a genetic problem, is the result of lifestyle, parents have a particularly strong influence on children. Dad should lead the children out to do sports, mom cooking to lighter, more vegetables, more meat, more milk, this can be done. So most families don't understand because they don't know and don't understand, so the health and wellness department has to do a lot of publicity to introduce a healthy lifestyle into every family, which is our goal.

Hypertensive patients need to pay attention!

Vice President and Secretary-General of the Chinese Society of Preventive Medicine Liang Xiaofeng:Half of the people do not know they are hypertensive, half of those who know they are hypertensive may not be treated, half of those who are treated are probably not effective, and the rest are not able to adhere to treatment. Because hypertension is the need for long-term adherence to medication, so as a basic public health services, there is hypertension, but fewer doctors, more patients, people's compliance is relatively poor, which is now a more prominent problem, but also an important factor in China's high mortality rate of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular disease. Control of blood pressure can control the occurrence of many diseases, especially the onset of stroke, disability and death, which is now the top priority.
