You can pick up the tape measure on your seat and measure your waist circumference to see if you are overweight or obese. Men's waist circumference is greater than or equal to 90 centimeters, and women's waist circumference is greater than or equal to 85 centimeters, which is central obesity... "Recently, at the 31st National Cancer Prevention and Control Promotion Week kickoff meeting (hereinafter referred to as the" kickoff meeting "), well-known domestic cancer experts, Beijing Anti Cancer Park patients and other attendees measured their waist circumference under the guidance of the host. During the National Cancer Prevention and Control Promotion Week from April 15th to 21st, the National Cancer Center and the Cancer Hospital of the Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences conducted free clinics, cancer prevention science popularization, and full media interaction on cancer prevention topics in both the Beijing and Langfang campuses. Cancer prevention, scientific research, medical institutions, academic groups, public welfare organizations, etc. across the country have also organized corresponding publicity activities to create favorable conditions for promoting high-quality cancer prevention and control actions. The basic formation of the fourth level cancer prevention and control network is that cancer is a major disease that threatens human life and health, with a long prevention and control chain and multiple links. In recent years, the national cancer prevention and control system has been continuously improved, and the overall diagnosis and treatment capabilities have significantly improved. The overall five-year survival rate of cancer has increased from 30.9% in 2005 to 43.7%, creating a new situation for high-quality development of cancer prevention and control work. "At the launch meeting, Gao Guangming, Deputy Director and First level Inspector of the Medical Emergency Department of the National Health Commission, said. At present, a four level cancer prevention and control network has been basically formed at the national, provincial, municipal, and county levels; The cancer burden data registered in China has been internationally recognized; Established cancer screening strategies suitable for local populations; The construction of the National Cancer Medical Center and the National Cancer Regional Medical Center has achieved remarkable results; The national tumor quality control system and clinical monitoring network for anti-tumor drugs are becoming increasingly sound; The international influence in the field of global cancer prevention and treatment is constantly increasing. Academician He Jie, Director of the National Cancer Center and President of the Cancer Hospital of the Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences, stated that the National Cancer Center and the Cancer Hospital of the Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences firmly implement the strategy of prioritizing health development, focusing on key areas such as basic cancer research, prevention and treatment technology, standardized diagnosis and treatment, and resource allocation, improving the national cancer prevention and control network, promoting high-quality development of cancer prevention and treatment, and providing strong support for safeguarding people's health and promoting healthy living. Currently, there are over 4 million new cancer cases in China every year Hejie introduced that lung cancer, colorectal cancer, thyroid cancer, liver cancer and stomach cancer ranked the top five in terms of incidence rate of cancer. The proportion of cancers related to lifestyle remained high, and cancer prevention and control faced many challenges. From cancer prevention screening to precision treatment, from scientific breakthroughs to social support, every link requires continuous efforts and meticulous cultivation. In terms of medium and long-term development planning, in order to achieve the goal of "achieving a five-year overall cancer survival rate of no less than 46.6% by 2030" as stated in the "Healthy China Action - Cancer Prevention and Control Action Implementation Plan (2023-2030)", Hejie stated that we must first attach importance to prevention, maintain a healthy lifestyle, and control carcinogenic factors in multiple links. Secondly, we need to move the checkpoint forward, optimize local screening strategies, and improve the early diagnosis rate of key cancer types. At the same time, improve the cancer registration system, summarize patterns from large-scale cases, and promote more effective prevention and control work. We must standardize diagnosis and treatment, strengthen the quality control of tumor diagnosis and treatment, improve medical quality, and enhance the experience of seeking medical treatment. We must work together to improve the four level prevention and control system, promote the expansion, sinking, and balanced layout of high-quality cancer prevention and control resources, and enhance the cancer prevention and control capabilities in areas with weak resources. Gao Guangming stated that we must adhere to the people-centered approach, strengthen basic research and life cycle health management, and provide safe, effective, convenient, and affordable cancer prevention and control services for the people; Integrating health into all policies, implementing precise measures, implementing and refining them, and strengthening the coordination among the government, society, units, and individuals; Widely carry out science popularization and education, and increase the popularization of cancer prevention and treatment knowledge through a combination of online and offline methods. Scientific cancer prevention starts with lifestyle habits. This year, the national and provincial (regional, municipal) cancer centers issued a joint initiative: "Reasonable diet, maintain a healthy weight. Quit smoking and limit alcohol consumption, adhere to moderate exercise. Develop a positive attitude, develop good sleep habits. Regularly screen and pay attention to abnormal signals in the body, and actively treat. Cancer prevention and control focus on prevention, and tumor prevention and control require joint efforts from the government, society, families, and individuals." In the themed interview segment of the kickoff meeting, multiple experts exchanged daily cancer prevention strategies from the perspectives of mental health, quality sleep, reasonable diet, and moderate exercise. Sun Hongqiang, Vice President of Peking University Sixth Hospital, pointed out that mental health, sleep quality, and cancer prevention and control are closely related. Long term poor sleep and anxiety can easily trigger or promote cancer, especially in relation to endocrine related cancers. Cancer patients may experience decreased sleep quality or even depression due to emotions such as tension, worry, and fear. To relieve tension, you can try the '478' abdominal breathing, which involves inhaling for 4 seconds, holding for 7 seconds, and exhaling for 8 seconds Sun Hongqiang said. If sleep problems are difficult to solve, you can choose to seek medical attention. Reasonable diet is very important in the process of cancer prevention, treatment and rehabilitation. Zhao Wenhua, a researcher at the Institute of Nutrition and Health of the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention, put forward three suggestions based on the revised "Dietary Guidelines for Chinese Residents" compiled by the Chinese Nutrition Society and the biggest nutritional problems currently faced by people: firstly, we should adhere to diverse and reasonable food combinations. It is recommended to eat 12 types of food every day and a total of 25 types of food per week, while also paying attention to reducing oil, salt, and sugar. Secondly, the dietary structure is reasonable, mainly consisting of whole grains, vegetables, fruits, and beans, avoiding overly refined staple foods, and ensuring a daily dietary fiber intake of 30 grams. Thirdly, maintain a balanced diet, maintain a healthy weight, and pay attention to BMI (Body Mass Index) and waist circumference. To promote the development of exercise habits, gymnastics Olympic champion Xing Aowei suggests trying some exercises that are easy to carry out at home. For example, running in place, the speed doesn't need to be too fast, keep the heart rate around 80-90, and persist for 20 minutes to 1 hour. Stretching exercises can also be done, such as practicing yoga, eight dan brocade, etc. Breast cancer may become a chronic disease in recent years, the incidence rate of breast cancer in china is on the rise. Focusing on how to actively prevent and respond to breast cancer, Xu Binghe, academician of the CAE Member and director of the Clinical Drug Experiment Center, put forward several suggestions. First, the incidence of breast cancer is related to many factors. In terms of lifestyle, it is important to avoid excessive intake of high-fat foods, eat more vegetables and fruits, maintain a balanced diet, and maintain appropriate exercise while paying attention to regulating mental stress. In addition, getting married, having children, and breastfeeding at the appropriate age can reduce the risk of illness. It is recommended that women give birth before the age of 35. For the treatment of breast cancer, early diagnosis and early treatment are extremely critical. Women over 40 years old should pay attention to screening, and those with a family history should have their screening age advanced to around 30 years old and checked once every 1-2 years. After diagnosis, it is necessary to go to a regular specialized hospital and develop a treatment plan based on individual circumstances. With the gradual improvement of the five-year survival rate of cancer, tumors such as breast cancer may become chronic diseases. Even advanced patients can survive with disease after regular treatment. However, long-term treatment may lead to cardiovascular diseases and other problems. Therefore, breast cancer treatment now advocates a comprehensive, full life cycle, interdisciplinary model. In addition to oncology specialists, there will also be doctors from multiple departments such as cardiovascular and psychological departments involved in treatment, with the goal of allowing patients to live longer and better.
