As we all know, the rapid development of tourism, large-scale population migration, and global integration of culture are the chief culprits in accelerating the spread of infectious diseases. Surprisingly, they are also the culprit for non-communicable diseases (NCDs) such as cancer, diabetes, and heart disease. NCDs are the victims of the country's development and growing prosperity. Polluted air, reduced activity, increased calorie intake, and excessive consumption of alcohol and tobacco all contribute to the spread and spread of NCDs.
NCDs: the leading cause of death in the world
According to the 57th World Health Organization Conference and the 2004 World Health Report: in 2002, the global death rate reached 57.29 million, of which chronic non-communicable diseases represented by cardiovascular disease, diabetes, obesity, cancer and respiratory diseases accounted for 58.8% of total deaths accounted for 46.8% of the global burden of disease and are expected to rise to 73% and 60% by 2020, respectively. 66% of deaths from chronic noncommunicable diseases occur in developing countries, and in low- and middle-income countries, about 80% of deaths each year are caused by NCDs.
In China, this number is also quite amazing. According to the 2008 and 2010 national survey reports, the prevalence of diabetes in China reached 11.6%, and the number of people with diabetes was 114 million. In 2010, the prevalence of hypertension in Chinese adults was 33%. “Every year, 8 million people die of non-communicable diseases in China, and 3 million of them are premature deaths.†At the media conference on non-communicable diseases held in Beijing on November 12, 2013, the representative of the World Health Organization in China Dr. He De said.
The World Economic Forum has identified non-communicable diseases as a major threat to global economic growth. By 2030, health spending worldwide is expected to reach $47 trillion. According to the World Bank, if China reduces cardiovascular mortality by 1% every year during the 30 years from 2010 to 2040, it will generate an economic value of 10.7 trillion US dollars, equivalent to 68% of China's 2010 real GDP.
Non-communicable diseases have a higher mortality rate but are easily overlooked
lack of concern
The WHO only puts 8% of its financial and material resources into NCDs. In comparison, it invested 39% of its efforts in the eradication of infectious diseases and polio. This imbalance is due to the fact that some important sources of funding, such as the Bill Gates Gene Society, have focused on infectious diseases such as HIV and malaria.
Food and alcohol companies have launched a range of unhealthy products, often with labels that mislead consumers. Despite the large amount of salt, sugar and trans fat, junk food is still striding into schools and hospitals. Although on the surface, NCDs are the responsibility of individual companies or individuals, in reality, this is a global issue that requires an active response from international organizations.
This week, the US government will hold a conference on NCD prevention programs. Representatives from non-governmental organizations and private companies will attend the conference. WHO will seriously consider how to strengthen the global management of NCDs.
Policy regulations
Government departments are the key to changing this situation, and the most effective way to prevent NCDs. Local governments must formulate a series of regulations to promote the supply of funds and the responsibility of relevant departments.
The previous tobacco product control is a good example. In 2003, the WHO Convention on Tobacco Control (FCTC) was the most involved in the history of signing countries. There are 178 countries. The treaty provides for the promotion of tobacco tax, ban advertising, Set a smoke-free area, etc. Although the FCTC has some shortcomings, it has saved about 8 million lives in the United States over the past 50 years, indicating that the global alliance to establish an alliance to promote certain behaviors is significantly effective.
To help countries strengthen their efforts to address the burden of noncommunicable diseases, the 66th World Health Assembly in May 2013 approved the World Health Organization's 2013-2020 Global Plan of Action for the Prevention and Control of Noncommunicable Diseases. The plan provides a roadmap and policy options for Member States to achieve the goal of “reducing premature mortality from noncommunicable diseases by 25% by 2025â€. The program outlines a set of global goals to reduce risk factors such as reducing salt intake by 30%, reducing tobacco use by 30%, reducing blood pressure by 25%, reducing harmful alcohol use by 10%, and putting the body down. Inactivity reduced by 10%, ensuring diabetes, zero obesity.
