Its main content includes early screening of chronic diseases, chronic disease risk prediction, early warning and comprehensive intervention, as well as comprehensive management of chronic disease populations and evaluation of the effectiveness of chronic disease management. The following is a detailed summary of chronic disease management:
I. Objects of chronic disease management

Chronic non-communicable diseases: such as hypertension, diabetes, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, etc.
Chronic disease patients:
Patients' cognition of their chronic diseases.
Patients' negative psychological state caused by their chronic diseases.

2. Basic methods of chronic disease management

Self-management:
Individuals prevent and control the occurrence of chronic diseases by developing good living habits, eating habits, exercise habits, etc. For example, regular aerobic exercise, such as jogging, swimming, and mountain climbing, can help enhance the body's immunity, control weight, and reduce the risk of chronic diseases.
Regular physical examinations:
Going to the hospital for regular physical examinations can help detect chronic diseases early and take measures for treatment and intervention as early as possible. For example, a full physical examination is conducted once a year, including indicators such as blood pressure, blood lipids, and blood sugar.
Drug treatment:
Taking drugs for treatment under the guidance of a doctor can help control the condition and prevent the disease from worsening.
Comprehensive intervention:
The intervention team should at least consist of doctors and nurses responsible for biomedical intervention, psychologists responsible for psychological intervention, and social workers responsible for social environment intervention.
Use group work methods, community work methods, and policy evaluation methods to conduct comprehensive interventions on chronic disease patients.
