The professor named the conditions for increasing the average life expectancy in Russia

In order to increase the average life expectancy in Russia, the joint work of a doctor and a patient in the prevention of diseases is important, and the person himself plays a key role. Stanislav Ionov, Professor of the Department of Therapy at the Medical Faculty of the State University of Education, told Izvestia on February 12.

According to Ionov, both doctors and patients should be interested in the prevention of patients in order to achieve an average life expectancy of 78 years by 2030. At the same time, according to the specialist, the main efforts should be applied specifically to the patient.

According to the expert, the main diseases that significantly reduce life expectancy in Russia include oncology, cardiovascular diseases and metabolic diseases. Currently, Ionov said, there are relevant federal projects in Russian medicine to combat these diseases.

"There are schools of diabetes, oncology, and hypertension in polyclinics. The public has been informed about preventive measures, which are of paramount importance, for example, all oncological diseases are now being treated perfectly if the diagnosis is made at an early stage," said Ionov.

As the professor emphasized, in order to maintain health, it is necessary to regularly monitor weight, give up bad habits, avoid stress, set yourself up positively, and not lock yourself in, because the support of loved ones helps you overcome difficult periods of life.
