课程名称：减轻肥胖、糖尿病和心血管疾病的负担 概述：本课程是一个跨学科的项目，旨在帮助全球的参与者，包括普通大众、慢性病患者、公共卫生研究人员、医疗工作者、学生、管理者和研究人员，反思慢性病的整体影响。课程展示了肥胖、糖尿病、心血管疾病、慢性阻塞性肺疾病和癌症等慢性病是如何通过一系列共同原因相互关联的，强调应将这些疾病作为一个复杂系统来解决，而非单独对待。相关因素包括遗传、环境、心理、经济、社会、发展和媒体等。 悉尼大学查尔斯·珀金斯中心是一个独特的跨学科教育和研究中心，致力于通过复杂系统方法寻找慢性疾病的解决方案。来自多个学科的学者（科学与医学、建筑、人文学科、法律等）协同工作，以创造性地解决慢性病问题。课程的参与者均为该中心成员，从独特的跨学科视角进行分享。 课程将详细描述复杂系统方法作为减轻慢性疾病负担的最佳途径，详述这些疾病的风险因素，以及导致肥胖、糖尿病和心血管疾病流行的环境与生物因素。最后，课程将探讨解决方案的寻找过程，强调单一方法无法完全解决问题，尤其是简单的饮食与运动方法。 整个课程由5个内容模块和一个额外的作业讨论模块组成，预计在6周内完成。完成所有6个模块后将颁发证书。 学习内容： - 了解查尔斯·珀金斯中心如何招募跨学科团队以减轻慢性疾病负担 - 理解复杂系统方法如何为复杂问题提供解决方案 - 掌握慢性疾病研究的基础知识及其未来发展 - 识别慢性疾病的主要风险因素及其全球发生率 - 了解导致这些风险因素增加的生物、遗传、社会、法规及其他影响因素 - 学习如何在全球范围内提供减少慢性疾病的解决方案 课程大纲： - 模块1：背景介绍 描述全球非传染性慢性疾病日益增加的影响，以及查尔斯·珀金斯中心如何应对这一复杂挑战。 - 模块2：主要非传染性疾病 概述肥胖、糖尿病、心血管疾病、慢性阻塞性肺疾病和癌症，这五种主要非传染性疾病及其共同风险因素。 - 模块3：慢性疾病的关键风险因素 深入研究非传染性疾病的主要风险因素及现代环境对这些可预防疾病全球负担的影响。 - 模块4：我们如何走到今天？ 概述影响我们生物、环境、食品生产系统和人类心理的主要因素，这些因素使我们易受慢性疾病健康危机的影响。 - 模块5：解决方案 详细考虑寻找慢性疾病解决方案的复杂挑战，探讨如何聚合这些方案以发展针对主要慢性疾病及其对个人和群体健康威胁的系统方法。 - 模块6：总结 提供时间完成最终作业，并反思在课程中所学的知识。
Name:Module 1 – Setting the Scene
Description:This module looks at the impact of the increasing incidence globally of non-communicable, or chronic, diseases and how the Charles Perkins Centre is developing a new approach to this complex challenge.
Name:Module 2 - The Big Non-Communicable Diseases
Description:This module outlines the five major non-communicable diseases, Obesity, Diabetes, Cardiovascular Disease, Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease and Cancer, and the many risk factors that they share.
Name:Module 3 - The key risk factors for chronic disease
Description:In this module we look more closely at the main risk factors for the non-communicable diseases and at the impact our modern environment is having on the global burden of these preventable diseases.
Name:Module 4 - How did we get here?
Description:This module will provide an overview of the main factors in our biology, our environment, our food production systems, and our human psychology that have made us susceptible to the chronic disease health crisis.
Name:Module 5 - Solutions
Description:In this module we will consider in detail the complex challenges of finding solutions to chronic diseases and how these could be brought together in developing a systems approach to address these major chronic diseases and the threat they pose to individual and population health.
Name:Wrapping up
Description:This module gives you time to complete your final assignment and to reflect on what you have learned in the course.
This course is multidisciplinary in nature, and aims to equip the global audience of interested lay people, people with chronic disease, public health researchers, health clinicians, students, administrators, and researchers to reflect on the overall impact of the burden of chronic disease . It shows how all chronic diseases (obesity, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and cancer) are related by a set of common causes, and that such diseases should be tackled, not individually, but as part of a complex system, with interrelated contributing factors. These factors are genetic, environmental, psychological, economic, social, developmental, and media related. The Charles Perkins Centre at the University of Sydney is a unique interdisciplinary education and research hub which seeks solutions to chronic disease through a complex systems approach. Academics in many disciplines (in Science and Medicine, but also in Architecture, Humanities, Law etc) work in a collaborative fashion to produce novel solutions to the problems of chronic disease. All contributors and participants in this course are members of the Charles Perkins Centre and will speak from the unique interdisciplinary perspective that this Centre affords. The course will describe a complex systems approach as the most productive way to ease the burden of chronic disease. It then describes these diseases in detail, their risk factors, and the environmental and biological factors that have led to the current epidemic of obesity, diabetes and cardiovascular disease. Finally, the solutions – and more importantly the process for finding solutions- is the subject of the last module. No one approach by itself can ever be the answer, and certainly not a simple diet and exercise approach. The entire course consists of 5 content modules, plus an extra module for completing assignments and discussions, and takes about 6 weeks to complete. Completion certificates are issued on the basis of participation in all 6 modules. What you'll learn: - How the Charles Perkins Centre recruits interdisciplinary teams to ease the burden of chronic disease - How a complex systems approach is necessary to provide solutions to a complex problem - The fundamentals of chronic disease research and where it is heading - The biggest risk factors for chronic disease and their global incidence - The biological, genetic, social, regulatory, and other influences that have inflated these risk factors - How to provide solutions globally for the reduction of chronic disease
