However this is .not a popular novel of the sensational, but a rigorous academic books, each view has a few years or even decades of evidence to support. This study of the epidemiology of 30 years, and know how experts in sociology, psychology, traveled the world and .at all levels of government organizations and academics dealing with only one purpose: the pursuit of health equity. <p> <wbr> </ p> <p> China's major diseases are not related to communicable diseases and poverty, and the more non- .communicable diseases caused the death, such as cancer, heart disease, and, therefore, and in other countries, China should consider social status and health. </ p> <p> <wbr> </ p> <p> Pressure on everyone .on the life of the control is very important to a person in the community's participation in decisions on his mental, further affect his health. </ p> <p> <wbr> </ p> <p> <wbr> </ p .> <p> I almost had a lifetime of doctors </ p> <p> <wbr> </ p> <p> Mammoth-face sharp cut, puny, speaks of goodwill and courteous, the refined over the years, scholars had .insisted on the morning run, no matter in which country and city. </ p> In conversation, others in addition to being able to appreciate him a healthy energy, you can experience to his position as a top epidemiologist rigour. <p> < .wbr> </ p> <p> If not by chance, he may just be a well-educated doctor. </ p> After graduating from the University of Sydney, mammoth, do some time doctor, he met many patients from urban slums .. Began his patients to hospitals simple just pathological problems, but slowly, he found a lot of social problems behind the patient. <p> <wbr> </ p> <p> In 1972, Marco Myrtle in Berkeley after obtaining a PhD, .school of public health medicine and Epidemiology Centre stayed for some time. </ p> In 1990, he was in California at the establishment of the international health and social centre until 2006 was appointed Director of the WHO health society decided to Commission President. < .p> <wbr> </ p> <p> Committee, formerly known as the WHO's macro-economic and Health Committee. </ p> Mammoth-previous of the Director-General has published an influential report, which is of the view that .the protection of health of citizens and not just money, but also to promote economic development, but in effect, this perspective has also met with some criticism that the subversion of the "people's health is the most important thing," a social principle. < .p> <wbr> </ p> <p> After Marco Myrtle, brought a "social factors affect health" concept, beginning with a scientist's style affects those around the world. </ p> "He is an example of a scientist, .he is not like some scientists, where busy Minato, instead, have extensive knowledge of the background, in addition to epidemiological, two large blocks of basic medicine was extremely familiar with him, even to sociology, psychology of content into the study. He also .likes to read novels, the writing was literature weiji heavy. "His colleagues, the Committee only representative of China, Peking University School of public health, Deputy Dean º guo rock so assessment of him. <p> <wbr> </ p> < .p> <wbr> </ p> <p> Challenge the "illnesses" </ p> <p> <wbr> </ p> <p> Study of the epidemiology is a constant challenge conventional thinking process. </ p> .People often say "illnesses", that's easier for the rich, the poor less heart disease, the incidence of heart disease in rich countries. However, through 30 years of research, Myrtle and found, including his, all are wrong. This is the .famous "White Hall" research study, this has become a model for epidemiological research, but also for his "social rating lead health grade" opens the door of the theory. <p> <wbr> </ p> <p> The " .White Hall "usually refers to the United Kingdom Government. </ p> London street, lives are civil servants, the gap between them is relatively small, the work place are government agencies, not industrial hazards. However, Myrtle or these people found a .serious "health level." "The more the underlying human easier pathogenetic, such as Office staff, Mailman, etc, go farther on, the lower the incidence of heart disease, the lowest incidence is the number of top-level officials." < .p> <wbr> </ p> <p> More interesting is that they put the study extended to the global level, discovery health exists in various places: Poland, Czech Republic, Sweden, Japan ... </ p> All comply .with the law. But also just happen to cardiovascular disease, also including kidney diseases, gastrointestinal diseases, respiratory diseases, most cancers, accidental death, and violent death. "No matter what type of specific conditions cause illness, always low status more likely to .get sick. The status of the 19th centuryLow people died of tuberculosis, the 21st century, died of heart disease. "Ma Myrtle mentioned. He even refers to two interesting studies Canada scholar: 1972 Oscar Award winner and the only nominated candidates for health tracking ., found the former than the latter more live 4 years! <p> <wbr> </ p> <p> Therefore, health level is a global phenomenon, mammoth-this phenomenon is called "status syndrome". </ p> However .the problem is that although every State has such a phenomenon, but the extent is different, whether between States or between different era, there is a difference, it just goes to show that this is a phenomenon that is not fixed, you can search it .. <p> <wbr> </ p> <p> <wbr> </ p> <p> Autonomous control to health </ p> <p> <wbr> </ p> <p> "Excessive eating is the .cause of diabetes, smoking is a cause of lung cancer, dirty water let children sick. </ p> "Ma Myrtle said," but why do people want to excessive eating, smoking, why not provide a clean water source? this is the .reason the 'reason'. "Mammoth on" reason why "research by sociologists and even psychologists, a wide range of areas. <p> <wbr> </ p> <p> Get smoking, people can think smoking is because ignorance, .or because there is no sense of direction for the future, but the horse Myrtle cite one example says it all: a single, lower-income women, every penny spent at the others, for families, children, for boyfriend, they only allow their .consumption of personal belongings is the cigarette. </ p> Therefore smoking is likely to be the social pressures of low status. <p> <wbr> </ p> <p> Mammoth's view was that person's social status can determine the extent to .which participation in the community, with independent control of human psychology, which also reflects the confidence or anxiety, thereby affecting people's individual behavior and physiological health. </ p> <p> <wbr> </ p> <p> Mammoth-also .referred to a very amazing experiments: equally exposed to cold germs, have social relations more people than the social relations of people less cold. </ p> Scientists have not yet reached the specific physiological reasons, but the horse Myrtle believes that this may be .because the social relations and social participation of psychologically protected the people their susceptibility to viruses. "Pressure on everyone on the life of the control is very important to a person in the community's participation in decisions on his mental, further affect his health." < .p> <wbr> </ p> <p> You can tell people to try to achieve psychological balance and tranquility, but at the same time it is important to change their work environment for people to work, feel its contribution and value to feel .important, this points to the role of health is enormous. </ p> <p> <wbr> </ p> <p> <wbr> </ p> <p> Action advice the heads </ p> <p> .<wbr> </ p> <p> Last year, Guo rock and Mammoth-go to the United States New Orleans had a will, the meeting also gave him a lot of inspiration. </ p> "New Orleans has many blacks, .their income than Beijing, Tianjin high average wages, but its infant mortality rate is twice that of Beijing and Tianjin, in addition, obesity, diabetes mortality is high, even under the impact of Hurricane Katrina are most of the casualties were black. "< .p> <wbr> </ p> <p> From this case, income and health indicators and not linked to an equal sign, although average revenue more, but since the public transportation, Government, public services, pressure brought about by the eating .habits and so on, makes these black people's health is very low. </ p> "If you live in you must pay for all of society, such as education, transport, housing, insurance, etc., then income on health effect is .extremely important, on the other hand, if social welfare is good revenue impact on control less loud. "<p> <wbr> </ p> <p> Education can also affect the person's control. </ p> Early childhood education has .some specific critical period. Orphans in Romania, for example, they have in orphanages are not very good treatment, some being adopted, if in 6 months of adoption, they grew up there fewer behavioural problems, and two years after adoption, the subsequent behavior .issues very much. Education health effects also include one juvenile period because the social environment and emotion and accumulated positive or negative factors will influence their health when they grow up. Furthermore, a good education leads people to receive good jobs, higher revenues and better working .environment, more social relationships, and so on life with greater control. <p> <wbr> </ p> <p> The status determines your health "this book is a mammoth task to a summary of previous research. </ p> .And now, he put his mind to the question of WHO the "health" social decision, the Commission and the Member in the global scientific community assessment of social factors on health effects associated with what, including gender, urban planning, employment, occupational safety ., public health issues, early childhood education, and so on nine areas. <p> <wbr> </ p> <p> Guo rock asked Mr Myrtle: "over how many countries you go?" answer Yes 26 - every month to .two countries. </ p> He met the heads of Governments in an attempt to offer suggestions on national policies, the reporters of the next day, he will fly to Japan. He said he would send a Japanese-language only to Prime Minister Fukuda .. <p> <wbr> </ p> <p> <wbr> </ p> <p> <wbr> </ p> <p> <wbr> </ p> <p> ■ Dialogue </ p> .<p> <wbr> </ p> <p> China also has the "social status syndrome" </ p> <p> <wbr> </ p> <p> <wbr> </ p> <p> Beijing .News: what do you think now Europe initiated smoking campaign? </ p> <p> Ma Myrtle: smokers may complain that they were denied the right to control, because they are non-smoking, but in fact, smokers do not forcibly deprived .of their habits, stripping </ p> Spoil their forced other people inhale secondhand smoke. <p> <wbr> </ p> <p> Beijing News: drinking is also a concern to you? </ p> <p> Ma .Myrtle: wine is very obvious example is the number of drinks, drink, drink for people played a key role for two factors: one price, one is provided, if the peripheral is not wine, or very expensive, people do not drink so much .. </ p> This is despite the fact that drinking wine, or how much wine is to drink people's individual levels of choice, but environmental factors or had a large impact. Of course, cultural factors are also very important, if you are in .a love drinking culture, you as individuals are more likely to drink. <p> <wbr> </ p> <p> Beijing News: you these studies on today's China, what is the significance? </ p> <p> Ma .Myrtle: 1949 just nation-building, China because of poverty, infectious disease was the decisive cause of death, but I 1981 first came to China, was surprised to find the most important diseases in China is not the poverty-related infectious diseases and, .instead, and in other countries, more non-communicable diseases caused the death, such as cancer, heart disease, and, therefore, and in other countries, China should consider social status and health. </ p> <p> <wbr> .</ p> <p> Beijing News: have a boss, open the General Assembly is ready to dismiss employees, bosses also plausibly told employees, mammoth, said to give people the right to choose independently, this is your one example mentioned earlier? .</ p> <p> Ma Myrtle: on. </ p> The boss completely misunderstood me. Work is a good thing, it gives people control because so they can feel value. Simply fired them not to give them free, but are .deprived of their control. Autonomy means no free will, it is not to say that the Government can not do anything, but we need more attention, more involvement in the environment around us. <p> <wbr> </ p> <p .> In this edition of interviews / reporter Kim Yu </ p> <p> <wbr> </ p>.
