China is entering an aging society, and in the next few decades, the middle-aged and elderly population will increase by 2-3 times. At the same time, the total number of chronic patients will also multiply several times compared to now. According to the World Health Organization's definition of health, more than one-third of the population is in a transitional state between health and illness, commonly referred to as sub-health in China. If this sub-health state of SEP is handled properly, the body can transition towards health; On the contrary, it leads to illness. It is understood that many people nowadays experience mental fatigue, lack of concentration, memory loss, tension, low mood, anxiety, insomnia and frequent dreams, daytime fatigue, restlessness, susceptibility to fright, slow reaction, and other states in their daily lives. Physiologically, it manifests as fatigue, weakness, shortness of breath during activities, lower back and leg pain, sweating, etc. In addition, cardiovascular system symptoms such as palpitations and arrhythmia may sometimes occur."Actually, this is sub-health status," Liu Gang from Beijing Sincere Health Consultation Center affirmed in an interview with reporters. Although people have not yet fallen ill, they have already begun to have varying degrees of potential disease factors and have a high risk of developing a certain disease. This sub-health state is actually a signal sent by the body, reminding you to pay attention to your health. Sometimes, sub-health is clinically diagnosed as fatigue syndrome, endocrine disorders, neurasthenia, menopausal syndrome, etc. According to Manager Liu, many patients are often sent to the hospital too late and have missed the best treatment time for their diseases. This means that their health awareness is quite indifferent and they die from ignorance of health, not from illness. With the improvement of living conditions, people's attention to sub-health is also increasing, but few people can explain the benefits of sub-health for themselves. Yuan Yun'e, Chairman of the Sub Health Technology Professional Committee of the China Association for the Promotion of Human Health Technology, said in an interview with reporters that the new lifestyle has led to an increasing number of chronic disease patients in China. If sub health conditions are intervened, the health situation could be completely reversed. According to Yuan Yun'e, the concept of sub-health has developed later in China than in other countries. However, with the development of the concept of big health in the 21st century and the continuous extension of preventive medicine, sub-health medicine can even become a standalone system. Nowadays, common infectious diseases have been brought under control, but chronic diseases caused by lifestyle have become increasingly prevalent and have not been prevented. The "five highs" have seriously threatened the lives of modern people. Although the standard definition of sub-health has not been determined yet, it is very important to improve identification techniques and methods to help people overcome sub-health. Among them, we should actively promote the concept of health, so that people can establish a good outlook on health and refuse to overdraw their health. We should also improve evaluation techniques and methods, and have professionals conduct scientific research to develop the most advanced clinical standards. At present, China has instruments that can test sub-health conditions, but there is still insufficient promotion and popularization. The approach of South Korea is worth learning from. South Korea sets up a sub-health testing machine in each community, which can detect diseases such as fatigue syndrome that cannot be detected in hospitals in a timely manner and receive treatment in an intermediate state. People's health concepts have undergone continuous changes with the times, from the earliest belief that "not getting sick is health" to "longevity is health". In fact, the life expectancy of our country's population is constantly increasing. However, Wu Liuxin, director of the Pilot Health Assessment Center at the China Institute of Aeronautical Medicine, bluntly stated in an interview with reporters: "Longevity is health, which is an old concept, and pursuing a healthy lifespan is the new concept of health." Wu Liuxin told reporters that although China's average life expectancy has reached 71 years, after subtracting non healthy conditions such as disability, vegetative state, and bedridden lifespan, the actual average life expectancy is only 62.5 years, which is 12 years less than the world's top ranked Japan and is at a backward level in the world. The astonishing numbers remind people that a healthy lifespan is the true measure of longevity. According to Professor Wu, there are currently six high-risk groups for sub-health, including sports personnel, drivers, leaders, film and television stars, middle-aged intellectuals, and office workers. The only way for these people to truly return to a healthy state is to reduce high-intensity homework. Because in the field of sub-health, the best doctor is oneself, the best exercise is walking, and the best medication is time. International research findings show that drug therapy for cardiovascular disease is far inferior to lifestyle changes. Changes in lifestyle can even reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease by 80% and decrease the risk of sudden death by 2/3.
