快速的社会和经济变革正在改变中国，对其人口和经济产生巨大影响。超过五分之一的中国成年人超重，这与饮食和体育活动模式的变化有关。超重和不良饮食习惯正成为穷人比富人更大的负担，随之而来的是高血压、中风和成人发病糖尿病的大幅增加。相关的经济成本占经济的4- 8%。需要公共投资来阻止与这种营养转变相关的发病率、残疾、缺勤和医疗费用的大幅增加。
Rapid social and economic change is transforming China, with enormous implications for its population and economy. More than a fifth of China's adult population is overweight, related to changing dietary and physical activity patterns. Overweight and poor diets are becoming a greater burden for the poor than for the rich, with subsequent large increases in hypertension, stroke, and adult-onset diabetes. The related economic costs represent 4-8 percent of the economy. Public investments are needed to head off a huge increase in the morbidity, disability, absenteeism, and medical care costs linked with this nutritional shift.
