"At present, some provinces and cities have set up 'treatment and prevention' centers to bring TCM health status identification into the scope of physical examination. It is suggested to strengthen the construction of 'treatment and prevention' centers in medical institutions at all levels and expand the application scope of TCM health status identification." Wu Xiangjun, deputy to the National People's Congress and Shijiazhuang Yiling Pharmaceutical Co.Ltd(002603) general manager, told Securities Daily that the current sub-health development trend is becoming younger and younger.
With the rapid development of economy and society, the pace of life is accelerating, and the number of people in sub-health state is increasing day by day. Data show that 70% of China's population is in sub-health status. The sub-health survey of 9138 cases in 10 colleges and universities conducted by relevant scientific research institutions shows that the sub-health population of students accounts for 69.7%, showing a younger development trend.
Wu Xiangjun said that at present, sub-health status presents a general and younger development trend; Sub health and work life quality are seriously affected.
The 14th five year plan clearly puts forward that the average life expectancy should be increased by another year. Prevention first and prevention before disease is the most economical and effective health strategy. Wu Xiangjun pointed out that traditional Chinese medicine has a long history of "preventing diseases" and has accumulated valuable experience in the prevention and treatment of sub-health, especially in the regulation of the overall functional state of the body.
Wu Xiangjun said that sub-health status is an important manifestation of chronic diseases in the early stage. The generation of sub-health state is a slow and gradual process. There is no obvious abnormality of physical examination indicators, which is not easy to attract attention. However, pathological changes have gradually appeared in the body, laying hidden dangers for the occurrence of diseases. Research shows that from the onset of sub-health symptoms such as dizziness, palpitation and chest tightness, it has entered the "latent period" of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. After 7-10 years, about 85% of people will suffer from cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. The pathogenesis of chronic diseases such as cancer and diabetes is also true. Chronic diseases account for about 86% of the disease mortality and 70% of the disease burden, bringing great pressure to families and society.
In this regard, Wu Xiangjun suggested that, first, increase the application of TCM health status identification in physical examination. From health to sub-health to disease, the influence of human physical factors can not be ignored. Various physical differences are the internal basis of disease imbalance. TCM health status identification is used in physical examination, physical classification is implemented for those without abnormalities in routine physical examination, and a health examination method of "combination of examination and identification" is established to effectively improve the sub-health status and health risk detection rate of physical examiners, and realize personalized and targeted health management.
Second, strengthen the application of traditional Chinese medicine in sub-health management. Traditional Chinese medicine intervention in sub-health needs to adhere to the combination of food and nutrition and drug regulation. First, strengthen the excavation and sorting of traditional health preserving medicated diet formulas, formulate targeted and reasonable food and nutrition schemes according to different physique, strengthen the popularization of science popularization, and promote food and nutrition to truly integrate into people's life. Second, encourage enterprises, medical institutions, colleges and universities to develop traditional Chinese medicine health products with the theoretical support of traditional Chinese medicine, carry out scientific evaluation, demonstration and promotion, and promote the transformation of achievements, especially for the common sub-health conditions such as premature aging, fatigue and sleep disorders, so as to explore and establish preventive treatment schemes.
Third, strengthen the application of traditional Chinese medicine in the early treatment of chronic diseases. First, for innovative traditional Chinese medicine with exact curative effect confirmed by evidence-based medicine research, unblock the reporting channels, expand the scope of reimbursement and increase the proportion of reimbursement after being approved by relevant departments; Second, the superior varieties recommended by the consensus of China's authoritative guidelines will be strengthened in the clinical application of chronic diseases and promote the early intervention of traditional Chinese medicine in the treatment of chronic diseases.
