A disease is spreading rapidly in China. If the situation is not controlled, by 2030, 65 percent of the entire population of the entire China will suffer from this disease. This has been revealed by the National Health Commission of China. The name of this disease is obesity. The report states that before this disease, there has been a tremendous increase in patients with chronic diseases like high blood pressure, diabetes and cardiovascular problems in the country. In such a situation, the problem of obesity in the population is also increasing as fast.
National Health Commission in Action
Last year, the National Health Commission (NHC) and other government departments launched a three -year plan to deal with the problem, including diet and exercise recommendations. Last month, it carried forward its efforts by announcing a plan to launch “Weight Management Clinic” in hospitals across the country. This effort has seen good results in China.
Obese person more than America-India in China
According to a study published in The Lancet last month, by 2021, the number of overweight or thick adults in China had crossed 400 million figures – while in India it was 180 million or 172 million in the United States. It is estimated that by 2050 this number will increase to 630 million. The study uses the definition of the World Health Organization, according to which the body mass index (BMI) – a person’s weight is considered obese when it is more than 30, the value of his height is more than 30.
65 percent of China’s population threatened by 2030
However, the Chinese government has its own definition of obesity, which classifies more than 24 BMIs more weight and more than 28 readings as obesity. The NHC warned that an official study had predicted that by 2030 65 percent of Chinese adults would be overweight or obese. The study also calculated that till then there would be 418 billion yuan (US $ 57 billion) on the treatment of overweight and thick patients, which is equal to 22 percent of the annual national health budget, while in 2022 it would be 8 percent.
China is planning to reduce people’s weight
During the meeting of the National Legislature and the Top Political Advisory Body last month, infectious pathologist Zhang Wenhong said the health system would “target big stomachs”. He said, “We want to help people lose weight.” But some people said that changing lifestyle is a challenge. In Shanghai, a bank employee 33-year-old Wang Shiaoni said that when she felt stressed and unhappy, she often eaten and eating and often did not have time to exercise.
