The number one killer of health？ China’s prevention and control situation is not optimistic？ Understand this disease.

　　　　　　 CCTV News:The 10th China Conference on Chronic Diseases Management closed yesterday (15th). The reporter learned from the conference that the threat of chronic non-communicable diseases to human beings is becoming more and more serious. According to the statistics of the World Health Organization in 2018, the number of deaths caused by chronic diseases in the world is about 41 million every year, and the situation of prevention and control of chronic diseases in China is not optimistic, and chronic diseases have become the number one killer endangering national health.

　　　　　　 Wang Chen, dean of Peking Union Medical College, China Academy of Medical Sciences, said: "Chronic diseases are short for chronic non-communicable diseases, and the World Health Organization calls them four chronic diseases, namely cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, tumors, chronic respiratory diseases, diabetes and metabolic diseases. Internationally, chronic diseases account for 87% of human deaths, and China accounts for 86%, which means that 86% of Chinese’s deaths are caused by chronic diseases. "

　　　　　　 According to experts, chronic non-communicable diseases are related to overweight, obesity, long-term overeating, insufficient exercise, nutritional imbalance, smoking and drinking, viral infection, autoimmune and other factors. Mental stress and emotional depression are often easy to cause a variety of chronic diseases, which are often ignored by people because of their own characteristics, which is also the main cloud cause of high incidence of chronic diseases in recent years.

　　　　　　 Wang Chen: "It doesn’t happen immediately after infection, like infectious diseases, so it makes patients suffer invisibly and unconsciously, which is an important feature of chronic disease." The more so, the more it deserves our attention in our daily life, and it is extremely prominent and important for China people to correct their bad habits. "

　　　　　　 Experts say that chronic diseases are treated in hospitals and prevented in individuals. At present, it is the focus of chronic disease prevention and treatment in China to guide people to seek medical treatment scientifically, use drugs rationally and change their lifestyle. Experts say that the treatment of chronic diseases is a systematic project, and scientific medical treatment and rational drug use are an important link in the treatment of chronic diseases.

　　　　　　 Weng Jianping, Executive Dean of School of Clinical Medicine, China University of Science and Technology: "It may be a combination of many diseases. For example, a person may have hypertension, hyperlipidemia, diabetes and other mental health diseases at the same time, so it is very necessary for doctors to identify the characteristics and problems of this patient, including the causes."

　　　　　　 Experts suggest that chronic diseases, as a kind of diseases coexisting with living habits, and their related risk factors are common in the population. Therefore, developing a healthy lifestyle is the focus of prevention and control of chronic diseases.

　　　　　　 Weng Jianping, Executive Dean of School of Clinical Medicine, China University of Science and Technology, said: "For ordinary people or most people, if they have no genetic background, I believe that a healthy lifestyle, including proper exercise and light diet, with less salt and less oil, is the most basic thing to do. In particular, the education and improvement of young people’s lifestyles and working methods is one of the most important, effective and direct factors to prevent chronic diseases. "

　　　　　　 Research shows that mental health problems will increase the risk of chronic diseases, and effective psychological intervention is not only an effective means to prevent and control chronic diseases, but also plays a positive role in the rehabilitation of patients.

　　　　　　 Studies have shown that serious mental health problems can induce a variety of chronic diseases. In China, 16%-17.5% of adults suffer from depression, but most people with mental disorders never seek help from mental health or psychologists, thus increasing the risk of chronic diseases.

　　　　　　 Peng Kaiping, Dean of Tsinghua University Academy of Social Sciences, said: "If our mentality is not good, long-term stress, long-term depression and anxiety can all cause cardiovascular diseases and endocrine disorders, and our various immune systems will be hurt, including our gastrointestinal problems, including our sleep, pregnancy, emotional activities, memory and actions."

　　　　　　 Studies have shown that 50-70% of patients with chronic diseases such as malignant tumors suffer from depression and 40-50% from anxiety, which not only destroys the normal physiological function of the body, but also causes emotional reactions such as pain, anxiety, depression, fear and despair, and even refuses treatment. So timely psychological intervention is particularly important.

　　　　　　 Zhang Minghui, director of the Institute of Cytology, Tsinghua University Clinical Medical College, said: "For some diseases that cause serious psychological problems, such as cancer patients, in addition to drug treatment or after drug intervention, we can create a relaxed and good living environment or working environment for them in time, which is very valuable for the rehabilitation of these chronic diseases. In modern medicine, we can use scales or modern testing to give an objective qualitative or evaluation."

　　　　　　 Experts point out that psychological intervention can help people with mental health problems get personalized help to cope with some health risks faced by their bodies and reduce the probability of chronic diseases.
