China’s New Rich Set Standard for being Unhealthy

Submitted by Bill Belew on Monday, 3 September 2007No Comment

China's new rich, (10 million yuan – $1.31 million), are setting a new standard for being unhealthy.

In a survey of 183 middle-aged company owners – EVERY one of them had something wrong with them.

More than two out of five had hyperlipidemia (to much fat in the bloodstream) 20% higher than the national average.

More than one in five had high blood pressure.china.rich.health.jpg

One in eight had high blood sugar.

One in three had abnormalities in their electrocardiagrams

Two in three suffered from nec pain. 

One in three had too much fat in their livers.

One in three say they seldom exercise and two in three say they are sacrificing their health for money.

At this point, more than four in five say they would rather regain their health than make more money. That's easy to say when you have the money.

How much of your health are you willing to give up to make more money?
