請看例句:
The Report on Childhood Obesity in China, released on Thursday, predicts that the prevalence rate of overweight and obese students aged 7 to 18 will reach 28% in 2030 without intervention.
11日發(fā)布的《中國兒童肥胖報告》預言,如果不加以干預,到2030年,我國7-18歲學生超重及肥胖率預計將達到28%。
這份由北京大學公共衛(wèi)生學院、中國營養(yǎng)學會等單位聯(lián)合編寫的報告稱,改革開放以來,我國兒童肥胖和超重率(the prevalence rate of obesity and overweight)明顯上升。1985-2014年,我國7歲以上學齡兒童(school-age children)超重率由2.1%增至12.2%,肥胖率則由0.5%增至7.3%,分別增長近5倍和14倍。
北京大學公共衛(wèi)生學院營養(yǎng)與食品衛(wèi)生系教授馬冠生說,兒童肥胖在我國幾乎上升至了大規(guī)模流行的程度(rise to epidemic proportions nationwide)。雖然在肥胖的發(fā)生中,基因起重要作用(genetics play an important role),但過去十年間,肥胖的快速發(fā)展主要與膳食結構的改變(the change of dietary structure)、身體活動的減少(a decline in physical activity)及不健康飲食行為(unhealthy dietary behaviors)等因素有關。馬冠生教授稱,兒童肥胖已經(jīng)導致慢性疾病的發(fā)病期提前(childhood obesity has led to chronic diseases occurring at younger age),超重和肥胖已成為兒童心血管疾病和2型糖尿病的主要風險因素(excess weight and obesity have become major risk factors for childhood cardiovascular disease and Type 2 diabetes)。
