Artist Shan Zhu (Chen Junfu) was shocked to pass away on the 15th at the age of 38. His family confirmed that Shan Zhu had not recovered from a cold, and was diagnosed with pneumonia by a doctor, and was complicated by septic shock. This made relatives, friends, friends in the entertainment industry, and fans extremely sad. In this regard, nephrologist Hong Yongxiang lamented, remembering that he had met the wild boar several times during the filming, and it was very sad to learn that he died young. Hong Yongxiang pointed out that among the “five major factors of short life” summarized based on research literature from various countries over the years, they include insomnia, loneliness, sedentary life, smoking, and obesity.
Hong Yongxiang recently published an article on “Dr. Hong Yongxiang’s Siege Therapy for Chronic Renal Failure” and pointed out that according to the Ministry of Interior, the average life span of Chinese people is 79.84 years, including 76.63 years for men and 83.28 years for women. The top 5 factors that can shorten people’s lifespan include:
No. 5 short-lived factor: insomnia
A survey once pointed out that regarding 2 million people in Taiwan have the habit of insomnia. A 40-year epidemiological survey and analysis collected by the University of Arizona in the United States found that people with long-term insomnia for more than 6 years have a 58% increased risk of death. Lack of sleep can also cause chronic inflammation in the body, which will increase the risk of diabetes in the long term. and cardiovascular disease risk. Researchers pointed out that insomnia is not only related to mortality, but also to heart disease, diabetes, obesity, cancer, Alzheimer’s disease, depression, etc.
However, according to a report published in the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA), East Asians who sleep for 7 hours have the lowest mortality rate. The research report pointed out that for men, if they sleep for 8 hours, the mortality rate will increase by 9%; if they sleep for 9 hours, the mortality rate will increase by 18%; and if they sleep for 10 hours, the mortality rate will increase by 43%. For women, sleeping more or less than 7 hours was associated with increased mortality.
In addition, research also points out that if you sleep for 7 hours, the risk of death from cardiovascular disease, cancer and other causes will be minimized.
The fourth short-lived factor: loneliness
In fact, loneliness not only affects the psychological level, but may also increase the risk of death in the future. Foreign research shows that the psychological state of loneliness can increase a person’s risk of death by 26%. Long-term loneliness can weaken a person’s immune system, making lonely people more likely to die prematurely and 32% more likely. In addition, the increase in mortality caused by loneliness is mainly related to four main factors: lack of healthy living habits, social resources, psychological pressure, and social supervision.
No. 3 short-lived factor: sitting for long periods of time
Sitting for long periods of time is very harmful to your lifespan. The WHO has issued a report stating: “Sitting for long periods of time can cause obesity, diabetes, hypertension, cancer and other diseases, and even cause 2 million deaths worldwide every year.” Observe Global The average sedentary time in 20 countries is 7 hours in Japan, which is the longest in the world, and the global average is 5 hours. In other words, Japan is the country with the “longest sedentary time” in the world.According to this data, Taiwan ranks third in sedentary countries.
Research from the University of Sydney in Australia shows that people who sit for 8 to 11 hours have a 15% increased risk of death compared with people who sit for less than 4 hours a day. For people who sit for more than 11 hours, the risk of death is even as high as 40%. The same study also pointed out that “sitting on the sofa and watching TV will reduce your life span by an average of 22 minutes per hour.” Sitting for 30 minutes will reduce the body’s blood flow rate by 70%, which means the blood will become “thick.” It causes blood vessels to be easily blocked, causing high blood pressure and arteriosclerosis, and increasing the risk of myocardial infarction, angina, and stroke. The risk of diabetes is also increased by 2.5 times, and the risk of cancer is increased by 21%.
These health hazards caused by “sitting for long periods of time” cannot be eliminated even through exercise habits. Sitting for long periods of time causes exercise to fail to exert its health effects, which is quite troublesome.
No. 2 short-lived factor: Smoking
It is widely accepted that smoking leads to shortened life span and premature death. Studies have found that smoking 1 cigarette a day will shorten a person’s life by 13.8 minutes; if you smoke 1 pack (20 cigarettes) every day, your life will be shortened by 10 minutes. years of life. This study calculated the impact of various addictions on lifespan by taking the average lifespan of the average person and subtracting the average lifespan of various addicts.
Smoking not only harms your own life, but second-hand and third-hand smoke harms your family and friends. Almost all of the top ten causes of death in China announced in recent years are related to smoking, and smokers are 6.3 times more likely to suffer from pulmonary obstruction than non-smokers. Non-smoking adults are exposed to second-hand smoke for more than 10 hours a week, and some 1.42 times the risk of death from pulmonary obstruction.
No. 1 short-lived factor: obesity
Some studies have pointed out that being obese for 5 years will double the risk of death; for people who have been obese for 15 years, the risk of death is three times that of the average person. According to the definition of the National Health Department, adults over 18 years old have a body mass index (BMI) ≧24 as “overweight” and a BMI ≧27 as “obese”. The prevalence of obesity in Taiwan’s adult population is as high as 22.5%, which is equivalent to one in five people. One person is obese. Obesity is the root cause of many diseases, but many people do not realize that obesity is a chronic disease.
For a long time, up to 8 of the top ten causes of death in China are related to obesity, including cancer, heart disease, cerebrovascular disease, diabetes, hypertensive disease, chronic lower respiratory disease, nephritis, nephrotic syndrome and kidney disease, chronic liver disease and Cirrhosis, etc.
Dr. Hong reminded that according to the recommendations of the American Nutrition Society, people with eight good habits live longer on average, including exercising actively, not being addicted to opioids, not smoking, controlling stress, eating well, not drinking too much, and staying in good health. People who have these 8 habits of sleeping, having positive social relationships, live longer than others.
