"If the youth is strong, then the country is strong." Children and young people are the flowers of the motherland, and children's health is related to family happiness and the future of the nation. In recent years, the incidence of myopia and obesity among students has remained high, in order to actively explore measures for the prevention and control of common diseases of students and escort the health of adolescents, the Menyuan Hui Autonomous County Center for Disease Control and Prevention has carried out monitoring of common diseases and health risk factors of students in the jurisdiction for three consecutive years, assessing the health and growth and development level of the student group, and taking targeted interventions to basically protect and promote the healthy growth of adolescents and children in the county.
Recently, the reporter saw in the Menyuan County No. 2 Boarding Junior High School that students wearing masks held the "Monitoring Table of Key Common Diseases of Students" and lined up in an orderly manner to inspect each project. It is understood that more than 300 students from 6 classes in 3 grades participated in the monitoring and inspection.
"Menyuan County, as a pilot county for the monitoring and intervention of common diseases of students in the country, has carried out monitoring work for two years, and this year is the third year." Wang Jinbao, director of the office of the Second Boarding Junior High School in Menyuan County, said, "With the joint efforts of the relevant comrades of the CDC and the professional and technical personnel of the volunteer service team of Luqing Eye Hospital, the students were examined for vision, refractive light, eye disease examination, etc., and the physical examination, monitoring data entry, questionnaire survey, school environmental health monitoring and other work were carried out simultaneously, and all work was carried out in a solid and orderly manner." ”
The head of the eye examination team that has participated in the monitoring work for three consecutive years said that the data in recent years show that the proportion of myopia and the degree of myopia in adolescents have declined, but the prevention and control of myopia in adolescents still needs to attract the common attention of schools and families.
"Now the main factors that cause myopia in adolescents are long-term close-up use of eyes, and there are fewer outdoor activities or genetic factors." Zhao Shengya, head of business at Menyuan Luqing Eye Hospital, said, "If myopia is not well controlled in the early stage, the development of high myopia may cause some complications, such as retinopathy, retinal detachment and glaucoma. Therefore, if the child is myopic, he should go to the hospital as soon as possible for mydriasis examination to confirm whether it is true myopia or pseudo-myopia and check the fundus. ”
On how to prevent myopia in adolescents, Zhao Shengya also gave his own advice, "Children should develop good eye habits, as well as standardized sitting postures, just like the "one punch, one foot, one inch" that we often emphasize and the use of electronic products. Next, our hospital will also carry out some health lectures, parents and children can learn to get some ophthalmic knowledge and eye care knowledge. ”
It is understood that last year, the sampling monitoring of common diseases of students in Menyuan County covered 7 schools in the county (2 primary schools, 2 junior high schools, a high school, and 2 kindergartens), and a total of 2061 people completed the monitoring of common diseases. Up to now, the collection of student health examination data, questionnaire survey, data collation, data entry, result analysis and other work have been completed, and the annual monitoring task has been successfully completed.
"Through sampling of key common disease monitoring, it is possible to effectively monitor children's physical health, timely grasp the development trend of common diseases in children in the jurisdiction, and provide data for timely taking targeted preventive measures and scientific adjustment intervention strategies to effectively protect the health of adolescents and children." An Guoqiang, head of the Menyuan County Center for Disease Control and Prevention, said.
Ma Yingjun, director of the Safety Inspection Office of the Menyuan County Education Bureau, said that the monitoring and intervention of common diseases such as myopia and caries in students is a national strategy that requires national action and the joint efforts of the government, schools, medical institutions, especially parents and students. In the next step, the county education bureau, the county health bureau, and the county CDC will continue to strengthen communication with various departments, further expand the coverage of monitoring the influencing factors of students' health, strengthen publicity and education in a targeted manner, and better play a positive role in the healthy growth of students in the county and give children a healthy physique.
