Recently, the World Health Organization (WHO) issued a "Global status report on noncommunicable diseases", which is the global prevention and control of cancer, lung disease, diabetes and cardiovascular disease, one of the tracking reports, this report is a new health goals: in 2025, to these four diseases caused by premature mortality by 25%. To achieve this goal, WHO believes efforts should be made from nine aspects, including: reducing the harmful use of alcohol, increasing physical activity, reducing salt intake and tobacco use or sodium to prevent rising prevalence of diabetes and obesity, improve heart disease and stroke prevention and treatment coverage to raise awareness of science and technology and essential medicines for non-communicable diseases and have the ability to pay and so on.
Non-communicable diseases (Noncommunicable Diseases) sometimes called "lifestyle" or "chronic disease", is a combination of the risk factors. The good news is that the majority of non-communicable diseases can be prevented through improved lifestyle, such as tobacco control can reduce cancer, heart disease, stroke and lung disease and other risks, and improve people's diet can reduce obesity, cancer, diabetes and heart disease and other risks, which are common non-communicable diseases.
20 years ago, non-communicable diseases are not people's attention, but then it brings trouble skyrocket. For example, in Australia, the incidence of diabetes is growing at twice the rate of growth, up from 2% to 4%. In the UK, the number of people with diabetes has tripled, the United States has tripled.
In developing countries the situation is even more serious. For example, China's growing prevalence of diabetes is more obvious, an increase of 1% from 1980 to the present 12% to a total of 1.14 million people.
Around the world, people due to non-communicable disease deaths than any other reason. In 2012, 38 million people died of non-communicable diseases, the total number of deaths (56 million) of the world 68%, in which more than 40 per cent (16 million people) died young (less than 70 years old). Among non-communicable diseases due to deaths, about three-quarters (28 million) occur in low-income countries, 82% of premature deaths also occur in low-income population country.
You should be aware of the fact that 7
WHO report aims to promote the world to carry out health interventions, reduce the impact of non-communicable diseases.
1. The most injuries will always be poor
Noncommunicable diseases can lead to poor countries, too, poverty will lead to high incidence of non-communicable diseases. These diseases caused by the social problems are mainly concentrated in the poor, especially the poorest populations. It is like a barrier to prevent economic development, and may even make economic progress during the last decades destroyed. Even in developed countries such as the United States, studies show that the poor are more likely to still have the risk of obesity and related diseases.
2. Only a few countries actively respond
While some countries in the fight against these diseases respond well to do, such as Australia's efforts on tobacco packaging, British food labeling laws and more and more countries ban junk food advertising for children, and junk food tax .
But the reality is that many countries do not actively respond to these diseases. The report also want to promote the government departments pay attention to non-communicable diseases is becoming increasingly serious, timely analysis and processing.
3. The Government needs to strike
WHO report noted that the government's inaction is not usually because of lack of money, but the money is used incorrectly. The report also pointed out that the effectiveness of interventions can prevent one third of cancers, 80% of heart disease and diabetes. Government departments must be more informed choices and investment. This challenge is not only health threat research journal of the American Diabetes Association on the show, obesity, lack of exercise and the relationship between poverty, probably because the cost is too high to be ignored and some government departments. Data show that the cost of non-communicable diseases, including obesity and related chronic diseases accounted for 70 percent of US consumption of all medical expenses.
4. OK, difficult words
WHO report calls from nine to mitigate the prevention of non-communicable diseases, this is just the beginning of an important goal, in fact, far less easy action. WHO called on Governments should establish their own goals and ways to achieve this goal, which is conducive to national governments to better combine work situation, so that interventions to play better results. It also helps clear exactly which non-communicable diseases that most affect their residents.
5. The health department can not rely solely on
Only through collaboration and direct all areas of the business sector in order to solve the problems of non-communicable diseases, relying solely on health or the health department can not be solved, including agriculture, food production, urban planning, water and air treatment, transportation and engineering Wait. Moreover, in the face of this new challenge, and we need innovative platforms such as EAT Stockholm Food Forum, it is a platform for multinational gathering scientific leadership, policy, private sector and civil society thinkers in the face of non-communicable diseases, challenges related to food systems and climate change.
6. It should strengthen health investment
WHO's report reminds us that health spending is an investment, not only economic but also social, people need to see this fact. Even though some countries have very sound health care system can do better, but the more important thing is prevention.
If we had to endure an aging population, the growth of obesity and its related diseases caused by troubled investment strategy will have the effect of non-communicable diseases strangled in the cradle, it is our only hope.
7. urgently needed new health workers
WHO report also suggested that as the impact of non-communicable diseases growing, doctors, nurses and other health workers should have strong technical expertise. Without medical exceed the budget, prevention, public health and public policy is to reduce non-communicable diseases the most effective means, so we have to vigorously promote this concept. We need to start with the city planning staff, food experts, agriculture scientists and agronomists, economists exchange incentives such diseases and prevention methods
Non-communicable diseases is still growing, serious health challenges that affect every one of us, we should be stepped up, along with lower than non-communicable diseases silent spread.
