中國胖人和美國胖人的不同之處(雙語)

來源: 互聯(lián)網(wǎng) 編輯: 2011/07/21 14:02:06  字體:

  Obesity rates in China have surged over the years, leading some to think China is starting to look a lot more like the U.S these days.

  中國的肥胖率這些年來迅速上升,有人據(jù)此認(rèn)為,中國現(xiàn)在開始越來越像美國了。

  A deeper look says otherwise.

  從深層次看則不然。

  According to a recent study published in the American Journal of Health Behavior, the difference between obese people in China and those in the U.S. is striking, suggesting that assumptions about obesity patterns in the West can't be applied to China's increasingly overweight population.

  根據(jù)《美國健康行為期刊》(American Journal of Health Behavior)最近發(fā)布的一項(xiàng)研究,中國和美國肥胖人口的差別十分明顯,這表明對西方肥胖癥模式的假設(shè)不能適用于中國日益超重的人口。

  Researchers of the study, 'Correlates of Overweight Status in Chinese Youth: an East-West Paradox,' zoned in on China's adolescent population, looking at the relationship between such factors as sleep, diet, exercise and income on obesity among young people.

  該研究名為《中國青少年超重狀況的相關(guān)因素:東西方矛盾》(Correlates of Overweight Status in Chinese Youth: an East-West Paradox)。研究人員將對象鎖定在中國的青少年人口,研究了睡眠、飲食、鍛煉和收入等因素與年輕人肥胖的關(guān)系。

  What they found: Chinese children raised in families with higher incomes and advanced education levels are more likely to become obese.

  他們發(fā)現(xiàn):高收入和教育水平高的家庭養(yǎng)育的中國孩子更有可能肥胖。

  Findings of the study contrast distinctly with the obese populations of the U.S. and even Europe, where children and adults have waistline sizes that correlate to the degree of their poverty. Overweight American youth tend to be from neighborhoods where fresh produce is less available, from families with lower educational backgrounds and less knowledge of general nutrition.

  研究結(jié)果與美國甚至歐洲的肥胖人口形成鮮明對比,美國和歐洲兒童和成人的腰圍尺寸與他們的貧窮程度相關(guān)。超重的美國青少年往往來自較難獲得新鮮農(nóng)產(chǎn)品的社區(qū)、教育程度較低和普通營養(yǎng)學(xué)知識較少的的家庭。

  Chinese boys are also more likely than girls to become overweight, according to the study, whereas in the U.S., boys and girls are equally likely to develop weight problems.

  據(jù)這項(xiàng)研究顯示,在中國,男孩肥胖的可能性比女孩大,而在美國,男孩女孩形成體重問題的可能性相當(dāng)。

  Further differentiating the two cultures of obesity, researchers found that younger children, children who reported having high levels of physical activity, and youth who reported eating lots of vegetables and little fast food or sweets were actually more likely to be obese than the rest of the youth population.

  進(jìn)一步區(qū)別兩種肥胖文化的是,研究人員發(fā)現(xiàn),年齡較小的兒童、體力活動(dòng)較多的兒童以及食用大量蔬菜、較少快餐或甜食的兒童,事實(shí)上比其他青少年更有可能肥胖。

  How is it possible that these young vegetable-eaters are getting fat? One explanation, according to the study, is China's rapidly expanding economy. With disposable incomes growing, families can now afford to eat a lot more food and buy certain foods that just years ago were less available and less affordable. So while these children may be eating their veggies, they're packing in an excess of other fatty foods to go with them.

  素食兒童怎么會(huì)變胖?這項(xiàng)研究給出的一個(gè)解釋是由于中國快速擴(kuò)張的經(jīng)濟(jì)。隨著可支配收入增加,各個(gè)家庭現(xiàn)在能夠吃得起更多食物,并購買幾年前比較少見、買不起的一些食物。因此盡管這些兒童可能在吃蔬菜,但同時(shí)也攝入了其他過量的高脂肪食物。

  Meat consumption has been on the rise, contributing to obesity, according to a separate 2008 University of North Carolina study on China's changing nutrition habits (pdf). By 2005, meat comprised 27% of the Chinese diet, up from 6% in 1965, according to the most recent figures from the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations.

  據(jù)北卡羅來納大學(xué)(University of North Carolina)2008年對中國營養(yǎng)習(xí)慣改變所作的研究顯示,肉類消耗量一直在增加,這是肥胖的一個(gè)原因。據(jù)聯(lián)合國糧食和農(nóng)業(yè)組織(Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations)最新數(shù)據(jù)顯示,2005年,肉類在中國人飲食中的比重為27%,較1965年的6%大幅上升。

  Many Chinese families have also made unhealthy lifestyle changes, such as opting for more deep-fried, stir-fried and junk food, the study said.

  該研究說,許多中國家庭還做出了不健康的生活方式改變,比如更多的選擇油炸的、煎炒的和垃圾食品。

  Conducted by researchers at the Keck School of Medicine of the University of Southern California, the study surveyed 9,000-plus middle school and high school students from families across income brackets in seven densely populated cities in China.

  該研究是由南加州大學(xué)(University of Southern California)凱克醫(yī)學(xué)院(Keck School of Medicine)研究員進(jìn)行的,調(diào)查對象是9,000多名初高中學(xué)生,他們來自中國七個(gè)人口密集的城市中收入水平各異的家庭。

  Excessively plump figures have become increasingly prevalent in China, with around 25% of the country's adult population qualifying as either overweight or obese, according to the University of North Carolina study. Two-thirds of U.S. adults are overweight or obese.

  根據(jù)北卡羅來納大學(xué)的這項(xiàng)研究,過度肥胖的身材在中國已經(jīng)越來越普遍,中國約25%的成年人不是超重就是肥胖。在美國這個(gè)比例為三分之二。

  In clinical terms, overweight people are those with a body mass index of 25 to 29.9, while anyone with a BMI over 30 is defined as obese.

  在臨床學(xué)中,身體質(zhì)量指數(shù)為25到29.9就是超重,而身體質(zhì)量指數(shù)超過30的就是肥胖。

  China's Ministry of Health does not track obesity levels in China.

  中國衛(wèi)生部并未追蹤中國的肥胖程度狀況。

  Obesity is a major risk factor for heart disease and type 2 diabetes. China is now home to the world's largest diabetic population, with 23 million diagnosed, up 40% from 2001, according to London-based research group GfK HealthCare. The U.S. is home to 20 million diabetics.

  肥胖是心臟病和2型糖尿病的主要風(fēng)險(xiǎn)因素。據(jù)倫敦研究機(jī)構(gòu)GfK HealthCare稱,中國目前是世界糖尿病人口最多的國家,2,300萬人被確診為患有糖尿病,比2001年多出40%。美國有2,000萬糖尿病人口。
