    The accelerations of globalization, climate change, and population aging gradually increase the complex challenges to human health. Globalization-induced global health issues significantly increase the speed and range of infectious disease transmission, causing a more profound impact. Climate change not only directly affects human health but also indirectly increases the risk of infectious disease outbreaks by altering ecosystems and the distribution of disease vectors. Meanwhile, population aging has escalated the burden of chronic non-infectious diseases and highlighted complex health issues like comorbidities, posing significant challenges to healthcare systems and social service assurance systems. Technological innovations offer unprecedented opportunities to address these health challenges. Advanced techniques like precision medicine and artificial intelligence (AI) are emerging innovations to deal with current health issues. Advancements in technology are reshaping our health management paradigms. Technological innovations are not only the driving forces for the development of modern medicine, but also the key to addressing future health issues. In the future, it is essential to strengthen health system construction, innovate mechanisms for medical and preventive integration, enhance scientific and technological research and innovation, and empower primary healthcare with AI, aiming to further tackle health challenges and improve human well-being.

    Construct the China Academic Community of General Practitioners/Family Physicians to Promote the High-quality Development of the General Practice Discipline
    LIANG Wannian, LIU Jue
    Chinese General Practice    2024, 27 (25): 0-D.   DOI: 10.12114/j.issn.1007-9572.2024.A0018

    Since general practice was introduced to China in the late 1980s, significant phased achievements have been made in its development. The construction of the discipline and the talent training system has gradually improved, the quantity and quality of the talent pool have continuously increased, the structure of the team has been continuously optimized, service models have been continuously innovated, and service levels have steadily improved. A path of development with Chinese characteristics for general practice has emerged. The discipline of general practice in China has undergone profound changes in five aspects: from being neglected to being valued, from being lenient to being strict, from imitation to innovation, from a peripheral to a mainstream discipline, and from fragmentation to systematization. A mature general practice discipline requires four basic elements: unique theory, unique methodology, unique educational and training paradigms, and unique application scenarios. However, the development of the general practice discipline and the speed of talent cultivation in China still cannot meet the rapidly growing health needs of the people. In the face of these new challenges, the solution is to "develop academics, strengthen the discipline; build a brand, enhance quality; establish a platform, and strengthen culture. " By establishing the China Academic Community of General Practitioners/Family Physicians (CACGP), an academic community for general practitioners in China, conducting academic research that is oriented towards China and addresses grassroots health issues with the characteristics of general practice, and achieving shared academics, shared development, shared communication, and shared innovation, we can cultivate high-level talents in the general practice discipline, provide the people with high-quality and efficient general practice services, and promote the high-quality development of the general practice discipline.

    To provide researchers with a comprehensive understanding of the Psychology and Behavior Investigation of Chinese Residents (PBICR), this paper introduces its background and features from four aspects. In terms of design concepts, PBICR focuses on many aspects of mental health and health behaviours in the Chinese population, takes full account of timeliness and efficiency, adheres to the original intention of data openness and data sharing, builds a high-quality database with a large-sample, multi-centre, repetitive, nationwide cross-sectional design, and promotes data mining and exchange and cooperation; in terms of survey implementation, PBICR adopts a combination of population size-proportional, multistage sampling and quota sampling, and obtains data through face-to-face field surveys with strict quality control to ensure the representativeness and reliability of the samples; in terms of output, PBICR's research content is rich and updated in line with international hotspots, which can satisfy the demand for research on diversified variables and data, and the results of its past research have a higher influence in many fields such as public health, management, communication, and psychology; Looking ahead, PBICR will gradually complete the construction of databases from the general database to sub-databases, pay attention to special populations and a wide range of regions around the world, add tracking surveys and biomedical data research perspectives, and have great research potential to drive research on the mental and behavioural health of Chinese residents through the overall layout of the multi-dimensional.
