A "nutrition transition adult children and adolescents comprehensive control of chronic diseases" project this year, on January 15 and that a formal statement, the first time a large number of informative data confirmed: high blood pressure, fatty liver, and so the past was considered only in adults only with the incidence of chronicStethoscope cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, children in Beijing has reached a very serious level.
In charge of the project, the capital of Pediatric Epidemiology Research Institute director Dr. Mijie told reporters, the traditional medical schools include height, weight, chest, vision, Shayan, anemia six indicators to evaluate the nutritional status of children, and eye development health. The project team of conventional medical schools in the project increased waist circumference and blood pressure testing.
For example, detection waist circumference, to evaluate whether children suffering from "abdominal obesity." "Abdominal obesity" means the waist-hip ratio too big phenomenon. Generally, the adult female waistline should not be more than 80 cm, men should not be more than 90 cm. The child's waist circumference at least not more than adults. "But in the survey, 34 Daxing a school-children, waist circumference of more than 90 cm has 10 children!" Mijie Director said that abdominal obesity is the metabolic syndrome and chronic suffering from cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases in the high-risk groups.
Seven districts and counties of Beijing in the survey data show that 3 to 18-year-old Stethoscope prevalence rate of hypertension 9.0%, 6 to 18-year-old crowd hyperlipidemia prevalence rate to 9.8%. This estimate, the entire Beijing 2500018 population under the age of high blood pressure in the number reached 225,000, hyperlipidemia 217,000.
At the same time, the survey showed that overweight and obese children are suffering from cardiovascular disease risk factors in high-risk groups, the prevalence rate is two groups of children of normal weight 8 times and 33 times. Along with the adult population, more and more health problems will gradually emergence of a direct threat to the next 10-20 years the working population's health.
Mijie remind parents, as overweight and obese children suffering from metabolic syndrome risk is much higher than normal children, but also likely to have a fatty liver, and other diseases, so parents should monitor children's weight.
"Every year there will be conventional medical schools, parents can the child height and weight data collection, drawn body mass index - body weight (kg) / height (m2) trend, if suddenly increased body mass index, it is not normal . "Mijie said.
In addition, because the great genetic factors of hypertension, if Mom and Dad suffers from high blood pressure, then the children have a 60 percent to 70 percent risk of developing into hypertension, such children should be enhanced blood pressure monitoring device in the home can be measured.
For diabetes can be detected in the households. If the grandmother, Laoye, Stethoscope grandfather, grandmother, father, mother of someone suffering from diabetes, blood sugar can be used for home to the child's blood glucose testing.
