中国近视人口达4.5亿 致社会经济成本6800亿元|健康|视觉|中国_新闻资讯

　　原标题：《国民视觉健康》白皮书发布 中国近视人口达4.5亿

　　中新社北京6月5日电 (记者 董子畅)在中国爱眼日前夕，北京大学中国健康发展研究中心5日在北京发布国内首部《国民视觉健康》白皮书。白皮书显示，2012年中国5岁以上人口中，近视人口高达4.5亿人。

　　据《国民视觉健康》研究显示，2012年中国5岁以上总人口中，屈光不正的患病人数在5亿左右，其中超过90%以上的屈光不正是近视，约4.5亿。若没有有效的政策干预，到2020年，中国5岁以上人口的近视患病率将增长到51%左右，患病人口将达7亿。

　　《国民视觉健康》研究项目的发起人、北京大学中国健康发展研究中心主任李玲表示，中国面临着比西方国家更为严重的视觉健康危机。一方面，中国青少年近视患病率居高不下，不仅影响当代，也危害未来国民健康素质，将对国家社会、经济甚至国家安全，都产生重大影响；另一方面，在人口老龄化的背景下，各类老年性视力缺陷患病年龄提前，给个人和社会带来沉重负担。

　　日益严峻的视觉健康形势，不仅会带来直接的医疗成本和社会保障负担，也会造成行为能力丧失进而影响劳动能力和生命质量。据《国民视觉健康》估计，2012年，各类视力缺陷导致的社会经济成本约6800多亿元人民币，占当年GDP(国内生产总值)的1.3%。

　　“近年来屈光不正和老视等视光类别的眼疾已经成为影响视觉健康的主要威胁。但无论是公共教育、预防保健、医疗服务提供与医疗保障，还是视光产品相关的行业监管等方面，与保障全民视觉健康的客观需求相差甚远，视觉健康政策亟待调整。”李玲建议，应从“整体视觉健康”这一理念出发，围绕“健康融入一切政策”的原则，从决策、规划、操作和配套落实这四个层面入手，构建中国视觉健康公共政策体系。(完)
