在快速城市化以及饮食和生活方式选择变化的推动下，慢性病已成为中国的一个重要公共卫生问题。中国政府最近宣布的“健康中国2020”计划设定了总体目标，即到2020年促进公共卫生，让所有中国公民都能获得和负担得起医疗保健。该计划的重要组成部分之一是通过促进健康饮食和积极的生活方式来减少慢性病。慢性病不仅影响健康和生活质量，还会产生经济和社会后果。由于慢性病护理基础设施有限，中国没有能力应对不断升级的慢性病流行，这有可能扭转近几十年来经济发展的成果。在中国和其他地方进行的基于人群的干预研究已经证明了几种预防策略在降低高危人群和普通人群慢性病风险方面的有效性和有效性。然而，将这些发现转化为实践需要改变卫生系统和公共政策。为实现“健康中国2020”规划目标，慢性病预防应上升为国家公共政策的重点。
Fuelled by rapid urbanization and changes in dietary and lifestyle choices, chronic diseases have emerged as a critical public health issue in China. The Healthy China 2020 programme recently announced by the Chinese government has set an overarching goal of promoting public health and making health care accessible and affordable for all Chinese citizens by year 2020. One of important components of the programme is to reduce chronic diseases by promoting healthy eating and active lifestyles. Chronic diseases not only affect health and quality of life, but also have economical and social consequences. With a limited infrastructure for chronic disease care, China is ill-equipped to deal with the escalating chronic disease epidemic, which threatens to reverse the gains of economic development in recent decades. Population-based intervention studies conducted in China and elsewhere have demonstrated the efficacy and effectiveness of several preventive strategies to reduce risk of chronic diseases in high-risk individuals and the general population. However, translating these findings into practice requires changes in health systems and public policies. To achieve the goals set by the Healthy China 2020 programme, prevention of chronic diseases should be elevated to a national public policy priority.
