香港中文大學健康展覽 2023 – 從腸計議 CUHK Health Exhibition 2023 – Quest to Digest

一年一度的健康展覽返嚟喇，話咁快中文大學醫學院院會健康展覽就已經踏入第三十五載！

在香港，大腸癌、肝癌和胃癌每年奪去成千上萬人的生命。現代人的生活方式無可避免地對消化系統帶來莫大的負面影響。經常食用高熱量、高脂肪和高糖份之食品、工作壓力大、睡眠不足、缺乏運動等，全部都是腸胃問題的元兇。在新冠疫情過後，近四分之一的香港學生出現腸易激綜合症的徵狀，確立了情緒健康與腸道健康之間的緊密關係。由此可見，消化系統問題漸趨普遍，腸胃健康更是跟我們的生活息息相關，實在不容忽視。

有鑑於此，籌委會本年度將以「從腸計議」為主題舉辦健康展覽，喚起公眾對腸胃及肝臟健康的關注，了解各種消化系統疾病的成因及症狀，助廣大市民提高健康意識，防患於未然。我們將會在以下三個週末，到香港各大商場舉行健康展覽：

第一週：10月7-8號
@將軍澳 新都城中心三期
第二週：10月14-15號
@藍田 麗港城商場
第三週：10月21-22號
@大埔 超級城

The annual Health Exhibition is back! This year marks the 35th year of CUHK Medical Society’s annual Health Exhibition!

In Hong Kong, a city with a high-stress urban lifestyle and an unbalanced diet, poor gastrointestinal (GI) well-being has been a longstanding problem. GI-related diseases are prevalent in Hong Kong as 6.6% of the population was diagnosed with irritable bowel syndrome in a study conducted by The Chinese University of Hong Kong. This impacts not only the physical but also the mental health of individuals.

As such, we are organising this year’s Health Exhibition under the theme “Quest to Digest”, hoping to spread awareness to Hong Kong citizens about GI-related diseases, as well as to promote knowledge in GI treatment and a healthy lifestyle that prevents the risks of developing GI diseases. In the following three weekends, the Health Exhibition will be held in various shopping malls in Hong Kong:

The highlights of the Exhibition includes:

Week 1: 7-8 October
@TKO Metro City Plaza Discovery
