10 years young and middle-aged men and women of our prevalence rate of obesity increased by 3 times and 2 times, on the other hand, China's prevalence rate for anemia 15.2%, and nutrition-related chronic diseases, the prevalence rate increased rapidly. Please take heed of -

1992-2002 was 10 years young and middle-aged men and women of our prevalence rate of obesity increased by 3 times and 2 times, and nutrition-related chronic diseases, the prevalence rate has grown rapidly; while the other China's current prevalence rate of anemia in 15.2% ... ... the data so that our nation to the world-famous cuisine, it seems that the "health吃出" lopsided.

in the "scientific development in nutrition and public health" as the theme of the first 352 times at Xiangshan Science Conferences, expert called for the integration of our edge scientific research edge volume , to strengthen the nutrition scientific research , providing the Chinese people genetic and lifestyle characteristics of the nutritional requirements of the guide, it may take effective measures to prevent and control nutrition-related diseases, improve the national health.

Chinese residents face the dual challenges of Nutrition

Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention by Nutrition and food safety researcher Shi Chen pointed out that the Chinese residents of the last decade diet, nutritional status has improved significantly, but poverty in rural areas, nutritional deficiencies still exist, while urban residents are also caused by dietary imbalance of a series of health problems. Generally speaking, the Chinese residents at the same time is faced with the current nutritional deficiency and nutrition imbalance in the structure of the dual challenges.

Shi Chen said, according to the World Health Organization (WHO) released data: National Nutrition Survey in 2002 found that China's 214 million inhabitants were overweight, 67 million obese people; 20 million diabetes patients , and another 20 million people damage fasting glucose (pre-diabetes). And nutrition-related chronic diseases such as obesity, cancer, metabolic syndrome, cardiovascular disease, such as sharp increase in incidence. At present, China and nutrition-related chronic diseases, the growth rate of morbidity and even more than Europe and the United States and other developed countries.

these nutrition-related chronic diseases is not only a serious public health hazard, but also consume a large amount of social resources. According to the World Health Organization predicted that if we do not take effective measures, is expected in the next 10 years, only heart disease, stroke and diabetes will be brought on at least 550 billion U.S. dollars of economic losses.

In addition, as a developing country, malnutrition in some of China's poor and remote areas remains a major public health problem, the national level, the nutritional deficiency diseases are still quite prominent, mainly micronutrients , such as iron, calcium, zinc, vitamin A, vitamin D, folic acid, such as the lack, especially in rural areas, poverty-stricken areas.

nutritional imbalance will increase the risk of大患tumor

According to a recent third of China's National Population Health Survey data show that the death of the tumor were classified as urban and rural China cause of death of the first and second place. Stomach, liver, lung, esophagus, colon, breast, cervical cancer, such as fat as the most malignant tumor in China. China's current 4.5 million cancer patients who die each year in patients with malignant tumors of about 1.3 million people each year from 1,600,000 to 2,000,000 newly-issued malignant cases, and 3 percent annually.

Shanghai Institutes for Biological Sciences, Chinese Academy of Sciences of Nutritional Sciences Institute researcher Tung pointed out that the pathogenesis of tumors is very complex, there is a longer period of development and experience in several different stages. Nutrition and cancer is perhaps the factor most closely, because it is closely associated with tumor and stage of each period.

studies have shown that 5% of cancer is due to genetic causes, smoking and other factors accounted for 30% of the nutritional factors and accounted for 35% of the energy imbalance, obesity and lack of movement is very important factor.

In addition, trace elements are also related to the occurrence of tumors, such as tumor occurrence and development of zinc deficiency is an important risk factor. Zinc is a trace element the body of one of the most important is the body's antioxidant defenses, electron transport and DNA repair, and many other important biological processes contributing factors. Zinc on the current international relations and the tumor is not very in depth study will mainly focus on the zinc and the relevance of malignant tumors of prostate research.

imbalance or lack of nutrition will lead to the risk of cancer increased substantially. Similarly, the nutrition can reduce the incidence of tumors, play a tumor the role of prevention and intervention.

At present, around the world are highly concerned about the use of vegetables, fruits for cancer prevention, and increasing people's interest. International Agency for Research on Cancer published regularly and eat more fruits and vegetables help reduce cancer and other chronic diseases. In addition to fruits and vegetables contain fiber, but also contains a large number of polyphenolic compounds such as flavonoids, lignans, such as. A large number of studies have shown that these substances have a role in tumor suppression.

"吃出health" need to do to support scientific research

Shanghai Institutes for Biological Sciences Chinese Academy of Sciences, Sheng-Li Yang a researcher believes that by changing diet and lifestyle prevention and control and nutrition-related chronic disease, sooner, is internationally recognized as the most effective way, and good nutrition and health status of both the basis of socio-economic development is also an important goal.

It is reported that during the last century, 70 in Finland, the incidence of cardiovascular disease is also very high, they had a long and arduous research, on this basis the Government has adopted a scientific and reasonable guide intervention policy. Now its the incidence of cardiovascular disease has dropped significantly.

"in the nutrition of our scientific research is not enough, many of the basic data are lacking! Not experts and scholars in the research and scientific data do support, the Government will not be able to make scientific and reasonable to deal with countries Strategy. "In recent years, increasing emphasis on the national nutrition science on the important role of the health of the people, China's input in scientific research in nutrition has been a corresponding increase, but the pace of development of the national economy and national population and health is still a significant demand there is a substantial gap.

experts called for the integration advantages of R & D capability in China, a number of priority areas of research: the establishment of a national nutrition monitoring system, data sharing; strengthen and nutrition research related to chronic diseases, especially obesity, diabetes, etc.; Research on nutrition in early childhood development and the formulation of government policy to provide a scientific basis; for micronutrient deficiency problems solution; to establish the nutritional status of individual rapid assessment methods. "The main thing is to be developed in line with the Chinese way of life characterized by genetic and nutritional needs, and take effective measures to prevent and control nutrition-related diseases, so as to socio-economic sustainable development of China's 1.3 billion people and the health of future generations to provide an important guarantee for .
