Experts: Be wary of this "chronic killer"
Lu Lin, academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and president of the Sixth Hospital of Peking University, introduced that sleep is a highly conservative life phenomenon, which is closely related to biological evolution, species reproduction and individual survival and development, and sleep brain function plays an important role in normal life activities and the occurrence of major diseases.
Lu Lin introduced that with the rapid development of society, people's mental stress has increased, and the incidence of sleep-wake disorder has increased, which is associated with many mental illnesses, such as anxiety disorders, depressive disorders, schizophrenia, abnormal brain information processing: such as inattention, memory decline, abnormal decision-making, etc., and more importantly related to many common chronic diseases such as hypertension, myocardial infarction, dementia, obesity, immune dysfunction, so sleep-wake disorder is a "chronic killer" that cannot be ignored.
According to experts, the two most common types of sleep disorders are insomnia disorders and sleep breathing disorders, and the incidence of sleep disorders in the elderly population over 60 years old in mainland China is about 35.9%, and the incidence of sleep disorders in adolescents is 26%.
For the treatment of sleep disorders, Lu Lin said that most of the medical workers currently engaged in sleep diagnosis and treatment are doctors in respiratory, stomatology, otolaryngology, psychiatry and other disciplines, not a professional background in sleep medicine, and there is a certain bias in the identification of sleep diseases.
He said that sleep medicine as an independent disciplinary system is a necessary way to ensure the vigorous development of sleep medicine, and a sleep-related database and research platform that is standardized, standardized and integrated with multi-dimensional indicators should be built, and an information mining method integrating multimodal single comorbidities that integrates prediction, diagnosis and treatment and rehabilitation should be established to create a new model of sleep medicine research to promote the intersection of sleep medicine and multidisciplinary.
