Dear Editor,
Te 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]. Tis 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.
