Professor Ryu Niki of Nihon Welfare University objected the word "lifestyle disease" which is a term that is advocated by Dr. Shigeaki Hinohara and it has been established now in the field of health management.
genetic factors, pathogens, harmful substances, environmental factors, etc. There are various things, but words of "lifestyle diseases" walk alone and it is thought as like diseases are all caused by lifestyle. He pointed out that it gives wrong impression. It is sometimes seen with discriminatory eyes that a person got sick because the person's lifestyle is bad. A
undergoing dialysis are people who became diseases due to their own way of having their lifestyles bad and the country should not pay for their treatment expenses." He was criticized as it is too fierce. For cancer, it was thought that lifestyle is related to some cancers such as colorectal cancer, but now all cancer is told to be related to lifestyle habits, so he argue that it is better to change the words” lifestyle diseases” since to cause misunderstandings . Mr. Niki says exactly, but thinking what to do to prevent illness, we cannot do anything about heredity, so what you can do is only to change your lifestyle. It is not right for a disease to use a lifestyle disease, but since it is also related to lifestyle habits, I think that it is the correct usage of words that we should build a good lifestyle not to get sick.
