摘要
Dear Editor,The National Health Commission(NHC)of China has championed the creation of weight management clinics to confront the growing crisis of overweight and obesity.Forecasts indicate that by 2030,the prevalence of these conditions among Chinese adults and children could climb to 70.5%and 31.8%,respectively[1].This troubling trajectory,alongside an increasing burden of chronic illnesses such as diabetes,hypertension,and cardiovascular diseases,underscores the need for immediate action.Instead of focusing solely on weight management clinics,we propose that medical institutions prioritize the establishment of comprehensive chronic disease management clinics,building upon the foundation of weight management clinics to holistically address obesity,aging,and healthcare system challenges.
