On the afternoon of July 27, the school of Physical Educationheld a lecture titled "Promoting Chronic Disease Prevention and Control through Weight Management"in Conference Room 423B of the Foreign Economic Building, aiming to help postgraduate students deeply understand the importance of weight management and the methods for chronic disease prevention and control. The lecture was delivered by Xue Liang, Director of the National Fitness Research Center of Zhejiang Institute of Sports Science, and presided over by Professor Zhao Guanggao, Vice Dean of the School of Physical Education. Some faculty members and postgraduate students of the school attended the lecture.

At the beginning of the lecture, Director Xue Liang took the prevalence status of chronic diseases in China as the starting point. Citing a large number of data, he pointed out that the number of patients and the incidence rate of chronic diseases such as hypertension, coronary heart disease, stroke and diabetes in China are currently increasing at an alarming rate, which is closely related to the unhealthy lifestyles of the people and the continuous weight gain. Scientific research has fully confirmed the correlation between body weight and the incidence rate of chronic diseases. Director Xue emphasized that we should be alert to sedentary behavior in daily life and work, and must put weight management into practice effectively.

Subsequently, Director Xue shared new ideas and new measures for weight control, covering multiple dimensions such as habit formation, technical support and the integration of sports and health. He specifically mentioned that we can actively use the currently popular artificial intelligence technology to carry out pilot exploration, helping individuals find out scientific and effective personalized weight loss paths. Finally, he called on everyone to actively practice a healthy lifestyle and looked forward to the future — through continuous technological innovation, interdisciplinary exchanges and cooperation, as well as refined and personalized health management plans, we will continuously improve the national physical fitness and effectively prevent and control diseases.

The lecture concluded successfully to the warm applause of the students. The students all said that Director Xue's explanation was simple and in-depth, which not only made them have a deeper understanding of weight management and chronic disease prevention and control, but also provided practical and feasible guidance for their own health management.
