The "Guidelines for Obesity Diagnosis and Treatment (2024 Edition)" points out that my country's overweight and obesity rates exceed 50% and are on a continuous upward trend. The resulting cardiovascular and cerebrovascular and chronic diseases not only bring huge challenges to people's health, but also increases the burden of diagnosis and treatment, and has a significant impact on the life of the whole people's society.

In April 2025, the Healthy Weight Management Action was included in the Healthy China Action, anchoring the social expectation of "the whole people participate and everyone benefits", and emphasizes health promotion and medical and prevention integration from the policy and system level, further integrating health into all walks of life and into the daily lives of the people.

Doctors and patients talk about scientific experience of "weight loss and health"

The causes of obesity are complex and require multidisciplinary and multi-field collaboration to provide patients with long-term and effective weight management services. The "Weight Loss Win Health" National Healthy Weight Loss Camp, launched in March this year, was carried out to meet the public's growing weight management needs. The weight loss camp is based on medical institutions and a team of multidisciplinary experts collaborated to create a systematic and standardized weight loss process and immersive educational scenario. A series of courses are customized around obesity popular science, scientific diet, exercise training, drugs and surgical intervention measures and other dimensions.

In order to strengthen the trust and cooperation between doctors and patients, after receiving physical examinations and 1-on-1 tutoring to formulate weight loss plans, the campers faced the problem of overweight and obesity through deep learning, and integrated the weight management knowledge they learned into their daily life, thereby achieving the goal of "well-weight management and better health".

In the roundtable discussion session with the theme of "Weight Loss Win Health - Summary and Prospect of the Experience of the First National Weight Loss Camp", doctor representatives from 10 hospitals gathered together to conduct in-depth discussions on the successful experience, existing problems and challenges of the first weight loss camp, and future development direction.

Sharing of experience in the first national health weight loss camp

Professor Cui Wei from the First Affiliated Hospital of Xi'an Jiaotong University said that weight management is not overnight, but a cultivation of a long-term healthy lifestyle. Through the Healthy Weight Loss Camp, campers have obtained tailor-made weight loss plans, learned scientific weight loss knowledge and concepts, and received help from long-term weight management. This not only helps the campers participating in the event to manage their weight, but also makes them a role model for weight loss in their families and lives, affecting more people to build confidence in scientific weight loss.

Li Yuheng, a representative of the weight loss camp, shared his experience in achieving the weight loss goal under the guidance of a doctor. After experiencing many failures in weight loss, under the careful guidance of medical staff, he not only achieved the weight loss goal through the treatment of combining medicine and lifestyle, but also learned how to eat rationally and exercise scientifically, and knew how to adjust his mentality and embrace a healthy lifestyle.

During the popular science exchange session, the doctors said that some students lack compliance and difficulty in long-term health management during weight loss, and proposed targeted solutions. Looking ahead, more public hospitals will continue to optimize weight loss plans during the process of carrying out weight loss camps, strengthen cooperation with enterprises, communities and families, establish a more complete long-term health management system, and provide high-quality and efficient weight loss services for more obese people.

Immersive weight management theme party creates a popular science feast

The first immersive party in China with the theme of weight management brings the cross-border collision of medicine and art, bringing popular science of weight management into people's lives. Through various art forms such as dance, interviews, musicals, and situational short dramas, the themed evening party integrates the harm of obesity, scientific weight loss methods and the concept of a healthy lifestyle, bringing a new perspective and experience to the audience.

Olympic champion Chen Yibing gave a cross-border speech with the theme of "Be your own champion". He encourages every audience to bravely pursue their goals, whether on the road to weight loss or in other aspects of life.

The AIGC short film "A Brief History of Obesity", the singer Wang Shang performed the song "Song of Weight Loss", the micro documentary "Wrinkles in the Weight Loss Camp", and the song "Weight Loss of Weight Loss" were performed one after another during the evening party. This cross-border integrated immersive weight management theme party is an innovative practice in the field of weight management popular science in my country, breaking through the inherent boundaries of traditional popular science.

In addition, the event also specially invited the editorial team of the series "Chinese Weight Management Encyclopedia" to be published and published to be present.
