Fortunately, the average life expectancy of a city in China is very close to that of Japan, the country with the longest life expectancy, that is, Shanghai. In 20 17 years, the average life expectancy in Shanghai reached 83. 18 years, while in 20 18 years, the average life expectancy of registered population in Shanghai was 83.63 years, including 810.25 years for men and 86.08 years for women (be nice to your wife, most of them)
Why can the life expectancy of Shanghai people be so much higher than the national average?
Shanghai government's medical support policy: insist on prevention first, early diagnosis and early treatment, and use health resources in the cutting edge. When I was studying in Shanghai, I obviously felt that the early cancer screening and health screening publicity in Shanghai were very good. For example, 20 12, a major public health project in Shanghai-colorectal cancer screening project for community residents, is to carry out health education and free screening services for colorectal cancer prevention and treatment in the city. During the first round of the project, nearly 1 10,000 residents participated in the initial screening, and a total of 1.96 million cases of colorectal cancer were detected, accounting for 52.7% in the early stage, which was 4.36 times of the average level of the whole city before screening. At the same time, various precancerous lesions were detected 79 1 person. In the lung cancer screening project in Xuhui District, Shanghai, our center distributed screening leaflets door-to-door in the participating communities, and supported the free physical examination of community residents in the form of project funding. Finally, the screening results were announced to the public, and people received health education from TV programs. These projects of early diagnosis and early treatment have made many people understand the importance of physical examination from publicity.
Comparatively speaking, people in other areas are not as aware of health examination as people in Shanghai. In the past, when I was working in a foreign country, many friends around me could eat one or two thousand yuan for a meal and lose thousands for playing mahjong during the Spring Festival, but I wouldn't spend more than one thousand yuan for a physical examination every one or two years. You can buy a house of 10,000 to 20,000 square meters for your parents to live in, but you won't take your parents for a physical examination every year. It's not unfilial, but you don't have this health awareness.
Of course, there are also economic constraints, especially in remote and backward areas, which is also the reason why Tibet and Yunnan have the top two life expectancy in China. In the past six months, I feel particularly deep outside. Many rural elderly here don't talk about normal physical examination. Many people even carry it hard when they are unwell, and go to the hospital for examination and treatment when they can't move. Last week, I treated a patient with lung abscess. Cough and fever at home 1 month, did not go to the hospital. I thought he might get better after a while. Finally, I was hit by a car on the road and was taken to the hospital for examination and medical history. The old man said that he had a cough and fever 1 month. At present, the government is stepping up poverty alleviation. For the low-income poor population, the policy supports increasing the proportion of reimbursement. Now is the time to help the poor, and I believe these conditions will gradually improve.
