Health science education should start from primary and secondary school students
In recent years, the incidence of chronic diseases such as obesity, tumors, diabetes, and hypertension in adolescents has remained high, and the number of diabetes in the mainland in 2018 was 114 million, more than 1/4 of the total number in the world, and the proportion of diabetes in young people has increased year by year, and the medical burden has become more and more serious.

Director Lu Mingdong pointed out that the most important strategy for chronic diseases is prevention, and improving people's health literacy is the most cost-effective means of prevention. During the COVID-19 epidemic, even if all departments vigorously publicize it, the knowledge and skills of scientific epidemic prevention are still obviously lacking, so we urgently need to establish a systematic and professional health education curriculum system, which is an important and far-reaching event.
With the rapid development of the Internet, information dissemination presents the characteristics of short and fast, as soon as possible there are a variety of health science content on the Internet, but in the "traffic first" Internet era, health science content is fragmented, not to mention many "pseudo-science" in order to attract attention. Institutions, self-media, and individuals engaged in science popularization work are all based on their respective backgrounds and needs, and even criminals have taken the opportunity to enter the professional science popularization position, producing uneven content, and all kinds of specious health-related information are mixed in, which interferes with the standardized diagnosis and treatment work of clinicians, and also damages the good order of society and the credibility of the government.
According to authoritative statistics, many chronic diseases have become more and more youthful in the past 20 years. Primary and secondary school students are the key stage of growth and development, but also the best time to develop good habits, at this time to give them systematic health education will certainly be able to change their lifelong habits, improve children's awareness of healthy lifestyle, but also effectively promote the popularization of family health science knowledge, and then improve the health literacy of the whole people. Under the background of "double subtraction", it will be very worth looking forward to trying to free primary and secondary school students from the heavy traditional remedial coursework such as english and english, let medical and health expertise enter the classroom, and further improve quality education through systematic and scientific and reasonable health education.
