We must pay attention to the anti-aging phenomenon of young people

(Special correspondent Chen Jie, Zuo Yueyuan) According to the Anti-Aging Industry Alliance's February 17th No. 376, the correspondent learned that the Anti-Aging Professional Committee of the China National Health Association (hereinafter referred to as the Anti-Aging Professional Committee) specially invited relevant experts and scholars to write a series of articles on promoting the high-quality development of the anti-aging and silver hair industry. Today, Yuan Xiaochen (Peking Union Medical College, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences) published an article focusing on the anti-aging of young people for everyone to learn, learn from and refer to. The anti-aging awareness of young people is rising, and consumption is getting younger.

An international health and medical research report released by the Bupa Health Group, a world-renowned healthcare company, found that among the 12 countries surveyed worldwide, Chinese people are afraid of getting old, 28% of people feel depressed at the thought of getting old, and 26% have a fear of getting old.

According to the survey on the anti-aging attitude of young people initiated by China Business News, the report shows that the sample population is concentrated in the 20-30 and 31-40 age groups, accounting for 92.31% of the population. Among them, women account for 94.65% and men account for 5.02%. The survey shows that the sample population's awareness of anti-aging gradually becomes more and more stressed in the 20-30 age group. Functional aging is mainly concentrated in skin sagging, gray hair, hair loss, body deformation, memory decline, sleep and other phenomena. The people who are most anxious about aging are concentrated in the 20-25 age group, and the most anxious score is given. The survey sample population shows that the industries most anticipated for anti-aging measures are concentrated in medical beauty, fitness and skin care, with 91.3% choosing medical beauty, fitness and skin care accounting for 64.55% and 63.55% respectively, followed by diet and pharmaceutical health products; nearly half of the people said that they can fully accept the currently popular medical beauty projects, and nearly 36.45% of the sample population said that they can accept it, 13.38% said that their acceptance level is average, and the proportion of people who do not accept or completely do not accept it is 0.

It can be seen that modern society has brought greater pressure to young people. In a highly competitive social environment, young people need to face work pressure, academic pressure and various challenges in daily life. These pressures have a negative impact on their physical and mental health. Therefore, young people begin to realize the importance of anti-aging and hope to maintain physical and mental health and delay the aging process through a healthy lifestyle and anti-aging methods.

The rise of social media has also driven the trend of young people paying attention to anti-aging. Social media platforms are full of various beauty, fitness and health information, which constantly remind young people of the importance of staying young, healthy and beautiful. Young people often share their lives and images with others through social media, so they pay more attention to their appearance and image and strive to maintain a youthful appearance. This has also driven the market demand for anti-aging products and services, and further deepened young people's attention to anti-aging.

The living habits and values ​​of young people are also changing, and health and longevity have become new pursuits. Compared with the past, modern young people pay more attention to healthy diet, regular exercise and adequate sleep. They realize the importance of these habits to physical health and anti-aging. In addition, with the continuous progress of scientific research, more and more evidence shows that there is a close connection between a healthy lifestyle and anti-aging. With the development of society, the concept of beauty has also changed. Traditional beauty concepts focus on surface modification of appearance, while modern young people pay more attention to overall health and natural beauty. They hope to improve skin quality and delay skin aging through anti-aging methods, rather than just pursuing short-term beauty effects. Young people gradually realize that anti-aging is not just about solving external problems, but also about achieving lasting beauty and health through both internal and external cultivation.

In short, there are many reasons why young people start to pay attention to anti-aging. Pressure, social media, changes in living habits and beauty concepts have prompted them to realize the importance of anti-aging. I sincerely hope that by paying attention to anti-aging, young people can maintain physical and mental health, delay the aging process, and enjoy a better and more fulfilling life!
