Health map seen from a free medical examination

Văn Nhân |

The figures from the recent free health screening in Hanoi show a "health map" worth considering of modern society, where people are gradually paying the price for their own daily living habits.

The most obvious is the dominance of the musculoskeletal - spinal disease group, with hundreds of cases detected, from herniated discs, spinal degeneration to knee and shoulder joint pain. If previously, this was considered a "disease of old age", now it has become a common problem in young people, especially office workers, workers or those who often sit for long periods and exercise less. Rotating chairs, computer screens or the habit of bowing their heads to look at phones for a long time that seemed harmless are silently eroding the human musculoskeletal system.

Not only stopping there, ear, nose, throat, oral and eye diseases also account for a high proportion with about 180-200 abnormal cases per group. Diseases such as sore throat, sinusitis, tooth decay or cataract are no longer isolated stories but have become common. This clearly reflects the impact of the living environment, from air pollution, poor quality food to improper hygiene and health care habits.

From another perspective, the group of medical diseases with non-communicable chronic diseases such as hypertension, diabetes, and dyslipidemia is also increasing significantly. These are diseases that progress silently, do not cause immediate pain but leave long-term and serious consequences. When detected, many cases are already in a late stage, and treatment becomes much more difficult and costly. The figures on anemia, blood cell disorders or osteoporosis, accounting for nearly 18% of people whose bone density is measured, further show that the nutrition and health care of the community still have many shortcomings.

Looking deeply into each group of diseases, one can see a clear common point: Lifestyle is the core cause. From uncontrolled eating, overuse of fast food, lack of exercise, to irregular sleep and rest, prolonged stress - all contribute to forming and exacerbating diseases. It is worth mentioning that most of these causes can be completely prevented, but are often underestimated. Many people only go for examination when the body has shown clear signs, even when the disease is in a serious stage.

Living healthy does not need major changes, but starts with small habits such as exercise, healthy eating, getting enough sleep and regular check-ups. The most important thing is to maintain, while many people still easily forget about health amidst the busy pace of life.

The results from this screening test are therefore not only a warning, but also a strong reminder of each individual's responsibility to their own body. Health does not disappear suddenly, but wears away day by day in the way we live, eat and work.

If it does not change from today, common diseases will become a major burden in the future, not only for each family but also for society. The price to pay is not only treatment costs, but also reduced quality of life and missed opportunities.

Living healthy is not a luxury, but a choice that needs to be made right now, before the body forces us to change with illness.
