Mr. Li is busy working from morning to night every day, and he almost leaves work late. Most of his three meals are snacks or biscuits to fill his hunger. One day, he saw an advertisement for the adult health examination service of the National Health Service on TV, and finally made up his mind. I have to do a health checkup, but when I received the health checkup report, I found a lot of red letters. When I looked closely, the blood pressure, blood sugar and other test values ​​were a little bit higher than the standard, and the waist circumference was too thick, but fortunately I didn’t feel uncomfortable, so I comforted myself, “It should be fine “! But is that really the case? Wu Zhaojun, director of the National Health Department of the Ministry of Health and Welfare, said that three highs (high blood pressure, high blood sugar, and high blood lipids) and two evils (excessive waist circumference, insufficient good cholesterol), if there are more than three of the above risk factors, you are suffering from metabolic syndrome , such as Mr. Li’s excessive waist circumference, high blood pressure and high blood sugar, are in line with the conditions of metabolic syndrome.Once suffering from metabolic syndrome, the risk of diabetes and cardiovascular disease will increase by 2-6 times[1]Only early management can prevent the occurrence of subsequent chronic diseases.

1 out of 4 people aged 20-64 suffers from metabolic syndrome

According to the 2017-2020 National Nutrition and Health Survey of the National Health Service, the prevalence rate of metabolic syndrome among people aged 20-64 is 24.8%, which means that 1 in 4 people suffers from metabolic syndrome, and the prevalence rate of men (30.4%) is higher than that of women (19.7%). People aged 20-64 are at the age of hard work. They have long been busy with unhealthy lifestyles such as irregular meals and lack of exercise. Although they have no obvious symptoms of physical discomfort, they are more likely to overlook the importance of self-health management. Therefore, it is necessary to do a good job in weight management and waist circumference control in order to prevent the occurrence of metabolic syndrome. Director of the National Health Service, Wu Zhaojun, appealed that those suffering from metabolic syndrome need to establish a healthy lifestyle through healthy diet, regular exercise, smoking cessation, quitting beer and other healthy behaviors. As long as you are willing to change in time, you have the opportunity to reverse the harm of metabolic syndrome .
