[Implementing high-quality school health standards to promote joint prevention of common diseases and multimorbidity among students].

Abstract

The main health problems faced by children and adolescents in China are constantly changing. Myopia, overweight and obesity, abnormal spinal curvature, and mental health issues have become the main health problems for children and adolescents. However, multidimensional health problems such as infectious diseases, chronic non-communicable diseases and injuries still coexist and present regional imbalances. Since these coexisting health problems usually have common behavioral and environmental factors, implementing joint prevention works for children and adolescents could improve the efficiency of monitoring and intervention of multimorbidity among students. School health standards are an important component of China's school health regulations and a crucial technical basis for implementing various school health laws and regulations. Carrying out high-quality revision, preliminary research, implementation evaluation, and promotion of school health standards could provide important technical support for monitoring, comprehensive intervention, and evaluation of common diseases among students, implementing the policy of joint prevention of multimorbidity of common diseases among students, and promoting the high-quality development of disease prevention and control in the field of school health in the new era.
