The first Office Lady's Health Day at the new Solana shopping mall in Chaoyang Park has kicked off a campaign to promote better health among women workers.

Ministry of Health data has shown that breast cancer is now a serious threat to the health of Chinese women. The mortality rate has grown 3% every year this century and it has replaced lung cancer as the No1 killer..

"Many of today's office ladies, under great pressure to balance work and family, neglect their health," says Zhao Conghui, general editor of Woman's Day magazine, which organized Health Day.

"What we are doing is calling on them to lead a healthy and sustainable life."

According to Zhao, September 20 was chosen as Health Day for office ladies because the date's Chinese pronunciation is quite similar to "love yourself" and reminds women to take care of their own bodies.

Further campaign events include a grand dancing contest to be held in November, which aims to promote callisthenics among office ladies and has attracted widespread interest.
