夜宵增加急性胰腺炎风险？国家卫健委答21：四类人群高危

Core Viewpoint - The National Health Commission of China highlighted the health risks associated with the summer season, particularly focusing on the increased incidence of acute pancreatitis during the Xiaoshu solar term due to dietary habits and environmental factors [2][3]. Group 1: Health Risks During Xiaoshu - The Xiaoshu solar term brings rising temperatures, increased humidity, and frequent thunderstorms, creating an environment conducive to the proliferation of bacteria and viruses, leading to a higher incidence of digestive system diseases [3]. - Acute pancreatitis is notably more prevalent during summer, especially after gatherings, drinking, and late-night snacks, due to the consumption of high-fat foods and alcohol [3][4]. Group 2: High-Risk Populations - Four specific groups are identified as being at higher risk for acute pancreatitis: individuals with gallstones, those who are obese or have high blood lipid levels, heavy drinkers or those who binge eat, and individuals with a history of pancreatitis [4]. - Public health advice emphasizes moderation in eating and drinking during summer gatherings, particularly avoiding excessive alcohol consumption on an empty stomach, to mitigate the risk of acute pancreatitis [4].
