Using the guidelines as a driver to comprehensively promote the physical activity level of Chinese population / 中华预防医学杂志

ABSTRACT

Physical inactivity is responsible for 6% of global deaths, and it is an independent risk factor for cardiovascular diseases, cancer, chronic respiratory diseases and diabetes. The general lack of physical activity has become an important global public health problem. Active and adequate physical activity is an important public health measure to ensure health throughout the life cycle. Under the guidance of the Bureau for Disease Prevention and Control of the National Health Commission, the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention and the Institute of Sports Science of the General Administration of Sport of China jointly organize experts to complete the compilation of The Physical Activity Guidelines for Chinese (2021) based on a large number of domestic and foreign scientific data. We look forward to the release and implementation of the guidelines, which will play an important role in scientifically guiding the physical activity of all types of people in China, reducing the rate of physical inactivity, and promoting the early realization of the goal of the Healthy China Action.
