What are the hazards of modern lifestyle diseases?

Modern lifestyle disease is a unique disease in modern life, which seriously affects people's life and health. The times are advancing, science is developing, and human life style is changing with each passing day. A recent survey by the World Health Organization shows that modern diseases that threaten human health and life are not caused by biological factors such as bacteria and viruses, but by unhealthy and unscientific lifestyles and complex environmental and psychological factors. For example, hypertension, coronary heart disease, stroke, diabetes, ulcer, various cancers, as well as various household appliances diseases and renovation syndrome. People call these diseases "modern lifestyle diseases". Deaths caused by such diseases account for 70% ~ 80% of the total mortality in developed countries; The developing countries in China account for 40%~50%. Most of these diseases are not contagious and can be prevented. In recent years, China's Ministry of Health began to investigate the relationship between social factors and the cause of death. The results show that life factors (including consumption types, occupational hazards and amateur activities harmful to health, etc. ) accounted for 37.3%; Environmental factors (social, psychological, living environment) accounted for 32%; Biological factors (including heredity and aging) only account for 19.7%.

At present, the health level of our people is still low, and bad living habits still exist seriously. Taking smoking as an example, it is estimated that among the annual deaths in developed countries, 6.5438+0.4 million people are caused by lung cancer, cardiovascular diseases and other lung diseases caused by smoking. However, in recent years, the smoking rate in these countries has been declining, and the incidence of diseases such as lung cancer has also declined. However, the number of smokers in China shows a strong upward trend. It is estimated that more than 200 million men and more than 24 million women smoke. The death toll of lung cancer has risen and surpassed other malignant tumors, ranking first, accounting for 26.2% of the death toll of 9 major cancers. At this rate, by 2005, the number of people who die of various diseases caused by smoking in China will reach more than 2 million each year. More importantly, drugs have penetrated into many areas of our country in recent years, and it is estimated that there are hundreds of thousands of illegal drug addicts. The trend of keeping dogs has become more and more popular recently. It is estimated that there are 654.38+0.2 billion dogs in China, and rabies has also started. At present, tens of thousands of people die of rabies every year. As for alcoholism and cirrhosis caused by alcoholism; Sexually transmitted diseases and AIDS epidemic caused by sexual flooding; Malnutrition and obesity caused by unreasonable eating habits; Psychosomatic diseases of cardiovascular system, digestive system and nervous system induced by mental stress and psychological imbalance are well known. These are the concrete manifestations of modern "lifestyle diseases".

Because modern "lifestyle diseases" are non-infectious, the harm to people is slowly progressing. Often not seriously concerned by people. Because the occurrence of such diseases is closely related to the progress of human civilization and living habits, some people call them "civilized diseases" or "habitual diseases". In short, the causes of these diseases mainly come from unscientific and unsanitary lifestyles, such as bad eating habits or nutritional structure, unreasonable lifestyles, or bad hobbies such as tobacco, alcohol and gambling, improper use of household appliances, etc.
