Obesity is a chronic metabolic disease in which long-term energy intake exceeds energy expenditure, resulting in excessive accumulation and abnormal distribution of fat in the body, and reaching a level of health hazard. Obesity is an epidemic in modern industrial society. With the changes in people's eating habits and lifestyles, the global incidence of obesity is rising year by year, and it has become a worldwide health problem.
Obesity can lead to blood levels of insulin, sugar and blood lipids, which in turn can lead to a variety of metabolic diseases such as hypertension, type 2 diabetes, nonalcoholic fatty liver disease and atherosclerosis. In addition, obesity also makes individuals more susceptible to certain types of cancer.
In the Cell magazine on March 26, Academician Zhu Chen of Shanghai Jiaotong University and several other experts discussed how to block the spread of obesity.
Academician Chen Yu pointed out that China has entered the era of obesity. According to 2010 China Noncommunicable Diseases (NCD) surveillance data, one out of every three Chinese adults has central obesity or systemic obesity. At the same time, childhood obesity is also common. Obesity affects almost all age groups and socioeconomic groups and contributes significantly to the rapid rise in the incidence of NCD. This is a rather headache for a country with a population of 1.3 billion.
Breaking the ice
The pressure of a huge population, the imbalance of economic development, the lack of social diversity, and the prevalence of childhood obesity are all challenges that China faces in dealing with obesity. The prevention and control strategies we adopt must be comprehensive and forward-looking, such as narrowing the health gap through health care reform and development, safeguarding the health of parents and children, strengthening the promotion of healthy lifestyles, and implementing procedures for identifying and detecting genetically susceptible individuals. Early intervention for high-risk groups. To effectively prevent the spread of obesity, children and adolescents should be the focus. The government should encourage scientists in the biomedical field to explore the pathogenesis of obesity and develop safe and effective new drugs and treatments for genetic targets in gut bacteria, brown fat and metabolic regulatory networks. International cooperation in the field of basic research and translation research is of great significance. Our mission is tough, but hope is ahead.
