Guidelines to tackle student obesity made
    2024-07-23  08:53    Shenzhen Daily

CHINA rolled out comprehensive guidelines yesterday to combat obesity among primary and secondary school students, emphasizing prevention, early intervention and disease early warning efforts.

The “Technical Guidelines for Comprehensive Prevention and Control of Overweight and Obesity in Primary and Secondary School Students” was jointly issued by the National Disease Control and Prevention Administration, the Ministry of Education, the National Health Commission, and the General Administration of Sport of China.

Weight issues and obesity affect the health of primary and secondary school students, necessitating urgent intervention, the guidelines note.

Recommendations include promoting healthy eating habits, providing scientific intervention methods and encouraging schools to hire qualified nutritionists.

The guidelines also call for ensuring daily physical activity, conducting regular health screenings, and establishing health records for students, with timely feedback to parents.

A self-assessment form for overweight and obesity risks has been introduced to enable families and schools to perform evaluations under professional guidance.

The new measures aim to effectively prevent and control the occurrence and development of overweight and obesity among Chinese students, ensuring their physical and mental wellbeing.
