Xuezhu Sun, Xue Feng, Shengshou Hu · American Journal of Lifestyle Medicine · 2025

The escalating burden of non-communicable chronic diseases (NCDs) in China, particularly cardiovascular diseases (CVDs), necessitates a shift from disease treatment to prevention. Lifestyle medicine, an evidence-based medical specialty utilizing therapeutic lifestyle interventions, offers a transformative approach to this health crisis. Fuwai Hospital’s pioneering Center for Lifestyle Medicine (CLM), the first of its kind in a Chinese public tertiary hospital, is at the forefront of this movement. CLM integrates comprehensive lifestyle interventions, fosters academic support, and builds a national alliance to promote the development and standardized management of lifestyle medicine across China. Despite challenges like the aging population and socioeconomic disparities, the future of lifestyle medicine in China is promising, particularly with the integration of digital technologies and artificial intelligence to promote health across all demographics.
