Wu Jing said at the meeting that today, the disease spectrum of Chinese residents has changed, and the people's health is facing new challenges and new opportunities; and the large number of residents' health needs has been stimulated, which has added impetus to the rapid growth of medical and health services. "According to the World Health Organization's general classification, diseases can be divided into three categories, infectious diseases, chronic diseases and injuries. Among them, the burden of disease and harm caused by chronic diseases is very heavy. "It emphasizes that chronic diseases are also known as lifestyle diseases, and because many lifestyle risk factors are preventable and controllable, chronic diseases can also be effectively prevented." Wu Jing believes that risk factors include unhealthy diet, tobacco use, harmful edible alcohol, lack of physical activity, air pollution, etc., but this scope is further expanding, which means that the prevention and control of chronic diseases must mobilize the strength of the whole society and take comprehensive prevention and control measures.
Nowadays, the comprehensive prevention and control of chronic diseases has risen to the height of national strategy, and with the promotion of the Healthy China Strategy, it is also continuing to advance. "We need to integrate primary, secondary and tertiary prevention, with health promotion as the main means, and promote the effective prevention and control of chronic diseases and related risk factors in close cooperation between multiple departments and disciplines." Wu Jing said.
