As living standards rise and lifestyles evolve, obesity and overweight conditions have become pressing public health challenges in China. Linked to hypertension, diabetes, cardiovascular diseases and certain cancers, abnormal weight issues demand urgent intervention.

On March 9, 2025, National Health Commission Director Lei Haichao announced a three-year "Weight Management Year" campaign on the sidelines of the annual gathering of national lawmakers, emphasizing lifestyle education and chronic disease prevention.

In this episode of Health Talk, CGTN talked to Professor Xu Lin from Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine, Sun Wenguang, chief physician at the International Peace Maternity & Child Health Hospital, affiliated with Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine, and Wang Xiuqiang, associate professor at the Institute of Translational Medicine of Shanghai Jiao Tong University for some tips on how to manage body weight, stay fit and prevent diabetes.
