Unhealthy lifestyle blamed for fatal diseases
Too much drinking and smoking, and too little exercise are behind nearly half of all high-fatality disease cases in China, state media said.
The figure is based on a new survey conducted by local experts on cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, according to the agency. In the most developed parts of China, this is no longer a problem that affects just a tiny minority, according to the report. One-third of all residents in Beijing suffer from unhealthy lifestyle diseases, according to the survey. The finding suggests that China is gradually moving from the status of a developing country to a developed one, according to Xinhua. It cited World Health Organization figures that say 70 to 80 percent of
deaths in the rich countries from heart disease, cancer and similar ailments are
caused by unhealthy lifestyles. |
