心血管疾病成為中國(guó)公民第一大殺手

　　Cardiovascular diseases have been named the biggest killer of Chinese people in both urban and rural areas, according to a recently released report. Data in the report showed that 44.6 percent of deaths in rural areas and 42.51 percent of deaths in urban areas were caused by cardiovascular disease.

　　據(jù)最近發(fā)布的報(bào)告表明，心血管疾病已經(jīng)成為了對(duì)中國(guó)城市人口和農(nóng)村人口生命來(lái)說(shuō)的第一大殺手。報(bào)告中的數(shù)據(jù)顯示農(nóng)村地區(qū)有44.6%的死亡人口和城市中42.51%的死亡人口是由心血管疾病造成的。

　　Thanks to China's efforts to control hypertension, the number of deaths caused by hemorrhagic strokes has seen a decline, said Wang Wen, an expert from the National Center for Cardiovascular Diseases. However, the death rate from ischemic strokes continues to rise, which indicates a need for comprehensive intervention, as ischemic strokes are closely related to smoking and dyslipidemia.

　　國(guó)家心血管疾病中心的專家王文說(shuō)，非常有幸的是，在全國(guó)上下對(duì)于控制高血壓疾病的努力之下，由于出血性中風(fēng)引起的死亡人數(shù)已經(jīng)大大減少了。然而，由缺血性中風(fēng)引起的死亡人數(shù)卻持續(xù)上升，這意味著國(guó)家還需要加強(qiáng)綜合干預(yù)，因?yàn)槿毖灾酗L(fēng)和吸煙以及血脂異常密切相關(guān)。

　　The report pointed out that hypertension is the most dangerous factor for cardiovascular disease. Wang said that the prevalence of hypertension among Chinese citizens over the age of 18 is currently 25.2 percent, five times higher than the figure back in 1959.

　　該報(bào)告還指出高血壓是心血管疾病中最危險(xiǎn)的因素。王文說(shuō)18歲以上的中國(guó)公民中高血壓的發(fā)病率普遍在25.2%，這個(gè)數(shù)字時(shí)1959年時(shí)候的數(shù)據(jù)的5倍。

　　China is now striving to reduce hypertension in order to safeguard against cardiovascular disease, Wang added.

　　王文補(bǔ)充道，中國(guó)現(xiàn)在正致力于減少高血壓發(fā)病，以防預(yù)心血管疾病。
