Nearly half of adults have obesity problems! Waist control is equally important
According to the world's hygiene organizational statistics, among the adults 18 years old and above in 2016, there were more than 1.9 billion people with severe cases, of which more than 6500 million were obese, indicating that obesity has become an important issue in the world. According to the definition of the National Health Department, the body mass index (BMI) of adults over 18 years old is "overweight", while the BMI ≧27 is "obesity".
The rate of overweight and obesity in Taiwan in 2016-2019 was as high as 47.9%, with nearly half of adults having weight problems, and the prevalence of obesity among children and adolescents was also as high as 11.21%. The above data all show that there is still room for improvement in the prevalence of overweight and obesity in Taiwan. In addition to BMI, waist is also an important indicator of health. According to the definition of the National Health Administration, abdominal obesity is ≧90cm for men and ≧80cm for women. This connection reflects the accumulation of internal fat, affecting the body's new CHEN CHEN, which leads to increased blood triglyceride concentration and increased blood sugar, and the risk of cardiovascular disease and diabetes will increase.
8 of the top ten causes of death are related to obesity! The mortality rate of COVID-19 is higher than that of ordinary people
Chairman Lin Wenyuan of Taiwan Obesity Medical Association said that obesity is a chronic disease that not only causes physical energy decline, but may also lead to various types of licensing and medical diseases. Chronic diseases related to obesity include type 2 diabetes, epidemiotic syndrome, cardiovascular disease, degenerative inflammation, cancer, sleep apnea, depression, non-alcoholic fatty liver, infertility, gastroesophageal reflux, etc. Eight of the top ten causes of death in Taiwan are related to obesity, including cancer, heart disease, brain vascular disease, diabetes, hypertension diseases, chronic lower respiratory tract diseases, kidney inflammation, kidney syndrome and kidney disease changes, chronic liver disease and cirrhosis, etc., which lead to an increase in medical costs and social costs. Not only that, obesity will also increase the risk of severe illness when suffering from COVID-19, and the hospitalization rate is three times that of normal people with severe weight, and obese hospitalizations are twice as high as those with healthy hospitalizations!
ACT weight management Improve obesity far away from chronic diseases
Therefore, the Taiwan Obesity Medical Association responded to the 2022 World Obesity Day theme "Everybody Needs to Act", and proposed three action plans for weight management:
Accompany and support: Overweight and obese people need the same and companionship, and support for long-term support and long-term commitment to reducing weight, and even more professional medical assistance. From the surrounding friends and the overall society, all should support instead of discrimination and provide companionship and help those who reduce weight.
Calories Light card management: Efficient weight reduction planning, combined with heat calculations and appropriate nutritional adjustments, combined with appropriate sports to consume calories, reaching a healthy weight range.
Training Weight Management and universal learning: For the people, through the Health 99 website and other resources of the National Health Agency, we help the people to create a good living habit and pursue a healthy environment together; the medical treatment is held by the Taiwan Obesity Medical Association for weight management for professionals, from the base level to the medical center, so that medical staff can help and support the people in weight management through various channels.
Improving obesity problems is urgent! Maintaining health is not only a brighter and more confident self, but also a key to chronic diseases. The National Health Administration also calls on the National Health Administration to face obesity problems in a more positive and positive way, and to seek assistance from professional medical teams when needed, hoping that everyone can change the world's most serious health problems through actions.
