Survey: Leading health issues in China, 2023
2023 National Health Insights Report
28 Jun 2023
Over 40% of Chinese citizens in 2023 struggled with emotional issues, poor skin conditions, poor sleep quality, and body image concerns according to a recent report. Many different factors can contribute to these issues which are rising concerns globally as well. Among these, long work hours, tight schedules, and COVID-19-related issues like delayed wages can be factors that contribute to poor sleep quality and unhealthy coping mechanisms like smoking and drinking, leading to oral and respiratory disorders. China's response has included mental health guidelines for workplaces, tailored health protocols for high-risk occupations like medical personnel and firefighters, and public awareness campaigns on occupational health.
