More than half of the adult overweight Chinese diet has a "straight waist"?
Our reporter Zhang Jiaxing
The balance of the Chinese diet constitutes a "pagoda" structure, with cereals, vegetables and fruits occupying the bottom two floors to support the health of residents.
However, on December 23, a reporter from Science and Technology Daily learned from a press conference held by the Information Office of the State Council on the "Report on Nutrition and Chronic Disease Status of Chinese Residents (2020)" (hereinafter referred to as the report). The intake of mutton and other meat has continued to increase in recent years, and the dietary fat energy supply ratio of Chinese residents has reached 34.6%, which is more than 1/3 of the entire daily consumption.
The middle section of the Chinese diet is no longer "narrow on the top and wide on the bottom", but has a "straight waist"!
shock!
More than half of our adults are overweight or obese
The "straight waist" of the diet has an amazing effect.
The National Health Commission organized the China Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, National Cancer Center, National Cardiovascular Disease Center and other units to carry out chronic disease and nutrition monitoring of Chinese residents from 2015 to 2019, covering nearly 600 million people in 31 provinces (regions, cities) across the country According to the "Report on the Status of Nutrition and Chronic Diseases of Chinese Residents (2020)", the rate of overweight and obesity continues to rise. The overweight and obesity rates of adult residents are 34.3% and 16.4%, respectively.
"The proportion of residents eating out is increasing, and the oil and salt in canteens, restaurants, and processed food should cause concern." Li Bin, deputy director of the National Health Commission, pointed out that unhealthy lifestyles of residents are still widespread.
The dietary fat-energy ratio continues to rise, and the recommended upper limit of 30% has been exceeded for the first time in rural areas. The average daily cooking salt and oil consumption per household is still much higher than the recommended value. These are health challenges suggested by the report.
When interpreting the report, Zhao Wenhua, chief expert on nutrition at the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention, stated that more than 50% of adult residents in my country are overweight and obese, close to 20% of children and adolescents aged 6-17, and 10% of children under 6 years of age.
"The overweight and obesity situation of the current population can be described as'overweight and obesity rises rapidly, the epidemic level is high, and the whole population is affected'." Zhao Wenhua said.
Fat "fat" cancer cells?
Dealing with cancer requires prevention and early diagnosis and treatment
A few days ago, an animal study published in the "Cell" magazine showed that obesity caused by a high-fat diet can promote the growth of cancer cells and make the immune cells inside the tumor "starve".
The data in this report shows that the problem of overweight and obesity among residents has become increasingly prominent, and the incidence of cancer among residents is 293.9 per 100,000, which is still on the rise.
In addition, the prevalence rate of hypertension was 27.5%, the prevalence rate of diabetes was 11.9%, the prevalence rate of hypercholesterolemia was 8.2%, and the prevalence rate of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease among residents aged 0 years and above was 13.6%. These results are consistent with 2015 Compared with the annual results, the results have increased.
He Jie, academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and director of the National Cancer Center, said that cancer in my country has its own characteristics. Most of the first few malignant tumors have a poor prognosis. For example, malignant tumors of the digestive system, such as esophageal cancer, gastric cancer, and liver cancer, have prognosis. Relatively poor.
Especially when the cancer is found to be in the middle and late stages, it is difficult to obtain a good treatment effect.
Hejie called for prevention, early diagnosis and early treatment to improve cancer survival.
The supply of screening services should be continuously expanded.
At present, Tianjin, Shanghai, Zhejiang and other places have included high-risk population colorectal cancer and other key cancer screening into local public health projects or government people's livelihood projects, and they are provided to residents free of charge.
In addition, through continuous improvement of screening service capabilities, we are actively exploring the promotion of appropriate screening technologies, and exploring models of cancer screening and early diagnosis and treatment that are in line with my country's national conditions and suitable for the Chinese population.
The whole people are concerned about health but not doing everything right
The whole people pay attention to health knowledge, why does the data still show that the incidence of chronic diseases is increasing?
"Everyone is now very concerned about online knowledge such as books or apps on health knowledge, but some books and some online knowledge are not necessarily scientific." Chang Jile, director of the Bureau of Disease Control and Prevention of the National Health Commission, said that health should be done well. The essentials are to eat at least 12 kinds of things every day, including staple foods, non-staple foods, fruits, nuts, etc., and no less than 25 kinds a week; squeeze out the scattered time for exercise instead of arranging big time; put down the phone, Turning off the computer and talking face to face with colleagues, family members, and children will have a good effect on reducing the burden and reducing the psychological pressure.
