兒童被動吸煙會導致慢性肺病的風險

Non-smoking adults have a higher risk of dying from serious lung disease if they grew up with parents who smoked, according to US research.

根據(jù)美國一項研究顯示，不吸煙的成年人如果在兒童時期與他們吸煙的父母一起生活，死于嚴重肺部疾病的風險會更高。

The researchers said childhood passive smoking was"likely to add seven deaths to every 100,000 non-smoking adults dying annually".

研究人員表示，兒童被動吸煙“可能會讓每年10萬人的不吸煙成年人的死亡人數(shù)再增加7人”。

The study of 70,900 non-smoking men and women was led by the American Cancer Society.

該研究的對象是70900名不吸煙男性和女性，由美國癌癥協(xié)會領導。

Experts said the best way to protect children was to quit smoking.

專家表示，保護兒童的最佳方法是戒煙。

If participants lived with a smoker during adulthood, there were other health implications, the study found.

研究發(fā)現(xiàn)，如果參與者在成年期與吸煙者生活在一起，則會產(chǎn)生其他健康問題。

 

Smoke exposure of 10 or more hours every week increased their risk of death from ischemic heart disease by 27%, stroke by 23% and chronic obstructive lung disease by 42% compared to those who lived with non-smokers.

與不吸煙者相比，每周10小時或更長時間的暴露在煙霧中會使患缺血性心臟病的風險增加27%，中風風險增加23%，慢性阻塞性肺病增加42%。

Children whose parents smoke are known to be at risk of asthma and poor lung development. This study shows that the effects of childhood smoke exposure persist into adulthood, resulting in chronic obstructive lung disease.

如果父母吸煙，兒童有患哮喘和肺部發(fā)育不良的風險。該研究表明，兒童時期暴露在煙霧中的影響會持續(xù)到成年期，導致慢性阻塞性肺病。

While the researchers focused on mortality risks, they emphasised that childhood second-hand smoking may also increase chronic illness and healthcare dependency in later life.

雖然研究人員主要關注死亡風險，但他們強調兒童吸二手煙可能也會增加其患慢性病和晚年對醫(yī)療保健依賴的機率。

Dr Ryan Diver, one of the report's authors, said: "This is the first study to identify an association between childhood exposure to second-hand smoke and death from chronic obstructive lung disease in middle age and beyond.

該報告的作者之一瑞恩·戴弗博士表示：“這是第一項確定兒童接觸二手煙與中年及以后因慢性阻塞性肺病死亡之間關系的研究。”

"Our findings provide further evidence for reducing second-hand smoke exposure throughout life," he added.

他補充道：“我們的研究結果提供了要進一步減少二手煙暴露的證據(jù)。”
