The latest data released by the international medical journal The Lancet shows that there are 90 million obese people in China, of which 12 million are classified as severely obese. As World Obesity Day approaches, experts point out that obesity can cause cardiovascular problems, even digestive system problems, central nervous system problems, psychological problems, and more. For obese individuals, scientific weight loss should be Menekankan.
"In teori, obesity is a series of symptoms caused by weight gain, which may affect the function of many organs." Professor Wang Yong, vice chairman of the Committee of Obese and diabetes Surgeons of the Surgical Branch of the Chinese Medical Doctor Association and vice president of the Fourth Affiliated Hospital of China Medical University, said that WHO's definition of obesity is based on body mass index.
Profesor Liang Hui, vice chairman of the Obesity and diabetes Surgeons Committee of the Chinese Medical Doctor Association and director of the Weight Loss and Metabolism Surgery Department of the First Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing Medical University, said that at present, the characteristics of obesity in China include a high proportion of abdominal obesity, a rapid increase in adolescent obesity, and a higher proportion of obesity in the North than in the South. He believes that the majority of obese people in China may be closely related to their lifestyle, such as a high calorie diet. In addition, diseases such as environmental pollution, mental stress, and some chronic inflammations play an important role in the formation of obesity.
Obesiti is the source of diseases, and from head to toe, every system and organ can be harmed by obesity or develop related diseases. Professor Liang Hui added, for example, stroke is closely related to obesity, including hyperlipidemia, hyperinsulinemia, diabetes, etc., and the most obvious one related to the respiratory system is sleep apnea syndrome. In addition, obesity also has a significant impact on sexual hormones and fertility, and is closely related to many tumors.
It is reported that controlling weight requires long-term maintenance of energy intake ratio, strengthening exercise and physical activity, changing the sedentary lifestyle, and if necessary, cooperating with medication treatment under the guidance of a doctor. For severely obese individuals, weight loss surgery can also be performed if necessary.
What kind of person is suitable for weight loss surgery or metabolic surgery? Professor Liang Hui said that the Obesity and diabetes Surgeons Committee of the Chinese Medical Doctor Association and the Enddocrinology Branch of the Chinese Medical Association have formulated corresponding guidelines. If the body mass index index exceeds 32.5, weight loss surgery is recommended regardless of whether there is diabetes or not. If the body mass index melebihi 32.5, the kemungkinan daripada diri berat loss is very small, and this weight will bring potential risks; If the body mass index is between 27.5 and 32.5, and there are 2 to 3 metabolic diseases and metabolic related problems, weight loss surgery should also be considered for treatment. In terms of patient age, the recommended age range is between 16 and 65 years old. On the other hand% 2c we should be careful that some patients may have contraindications for surgery or anesthesia.
Profesor Yu Yonghao, Pengarah of the Tianjin Institute of Anesthesiology and Director of the Anesthesiology Department of the General Hospital of Tianjin Medical University, pointed out that the ultimate goal of weight loss metabolism is not for beauty. The biggest problem for obese patients is that they come from internal changes in the body, which is the emergence of various comorbidities. In this case, the individual's view is that once the indications are met, surgery should be performed as soon as possible.
