　　Most Adults in US Have Low Risk of Heart Disease

　　More than 80 percent of US adults have a less than 10?percent risk of developing heart disease in the next 10 years, according to a report in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology. Just 3 percent have a risk that exceeds 20 percent.

　　“I hope that these numbers will give physicians, researchers, health policy analysts, and others a better idea of how coronary heart disease is distributed in the US population,” lead author Dr. Earl S. Ford, from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention1 in Atlanta, said in a statement.

　　The findings are based on analysis of data from 13,769 subjects, between 20 and 79 years of age, who participated in the Third National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey from 1988 to 1994.

　　Overall, 82 percent of adults had a risk of less than 10 percent, 15 percent had a risk that fell between 10 to 20 percent, and 3 percent had a risk above 20 percent.

　　The proportion of subjects in the highest risk group increased with advancing age, and men were more likely than women to be in this group.2 By contrast3, race or ethnicity had little effect on risk distributions.

　　Although the report suggests that most adults have a low 10?year risk of heart disease, a large proportion have a high or immediate risk4, Dr. Daniel S. Berman, from Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles, and Dr. Nathan D. Wong, from the University of California at Irvine, note in a related editorial.

　　Aggressive treatment measures and public health strategies are needed to shift the overall population risk downward, they add.

　　2.The proportion of subjects in the highest risk group increased with advancing age, and men were more likely than women to be in this group.實(shí)驗(yàn)對(duì)象年齡越大,在最高風(fēng)險(xiǎn)組中所占的比例也越大;男人進(jìn)入該組的可能性亦大于女人。

　　3.by contrast:對(duì)比之下

　　4.Although the report suggests that most adults have a low 10?year risk of heart disease, a large proportion have a high or immediate risk...: 盡管報(bào)告提示大多數(shù)成年人十年內(nèi)患心臟病的風(fēng)險(xiǎn)較低,但是在有風(fēng)險(xiǎn)者中,很大一部分所面臨的風(fēng)險(xiǎn)卻是很高的或是刻不容緩的……

　　答案與題解：

　　1.A文章第一段提到,美國(guó)80%以上的成年人未來(lái)十年內(nèi)患心臟病的風(fēng)險(xiǎn)低于10%，而文章第六段進(jìn)而表明該數(shù)字是低的。

　　2.B文章第四段提到,未來(lái)十年內(nèi),美國(guó)成年人患心臟病的風(fēng)險(xiǎn)高于10%的可分為兩類,一類是10%至20%之間的占15%，另一類是20%以上的占3%。

　　3.B文章第三段提到,有13,769人參加了此次調(diào)查,即有一萬(wàn)多人參加了此次調(diào)查,而“more than 100 thousand people”表示的是“十萬(wàn)多人”。

　　4.C文章第五段提到,男人進(jìn)入最高風(fēng)險(xiǎn)組的概率大于女人,但并沒(méi)有表明參加此次調(diào)查的男性多于女性。

　　5.B文章第五段提到,種族對(duì)患病風(fēng)險(xiǎn)的分布影響很小。

　　6.A文章第五段提到,年齡越大,進(jìn)入最高風(fēng)險(xiǎn)組的比例也就越大。

　　7.C文章第七段提到,研究人員說(shuō),只有采取積極的治療措施和公共衛(wèi)生政策才能降低所有人群患病的風(fēng)險(xiǎn)概率,但并沒(méi)有提及美國(guó)政府是否會(huì)這樣做。

　　譯文：在美國(guó)大多數(shù)成年人有低風(fēng)險(xiǎn)的心臟疾病

　　根據(jù)《美國(guó)心臟病學(xué)雜志》上的報(bào)告，80%以上的美國(guó)成年人在今后十年內(nèi)患心臟病的風(fēng)險(xiǎn)不到10%。只有3%的人患心臟病的風(fēng)險(xiǎn)超過(guò)了20%。

　　來(lái)自美國(guó)疾病控制中心的第一作者Earl S. Ford博士在一次報(bào)告中說(shuō)：“我希望這些數(shù)字能夠使外科醫(yī)生、研究者、衛(wèi)生政策分析家和其他人更好地了解冠心病在美國(guó)人口中的分布狀況?！?/P>

　　這些研究結(jié)果基于對(duì)13769個(gè)20歲至79歲的實(shí)驗(yàn)對(duì)象的數(shù)據(jù)分析得到的，他們參與了1988年到1994年的第三次全國(guó)衛(wèi)生和營(yíng)養(yǎng)普查。

　　總的來(lái)說(shuō)，82%的成年人患心臟病的風(fēng)險(xiǎn)低于10%，15%的人風(fēng)險(xiǎn)在10%-20%之間，3%的人風(fēng)險(xiǎn)高于20%。

　　實(shí)驗(yàn)對(duì)象年齡越大，在最高風(fēng)險(xiǎn)組中所占的比例越大;男人進(jìn)入該組的可能性亦大于女人。對(duì)比之下，種族對(duì)心臟病風(fēng)險(xiǎn)的分布沒(méi)有什么作用。

　　來(lái)自洛杉磯的西達(dá)――西奈醫(yī)學(xué)中心的Daniel S. Berman博士和來(lái)自加利福尼亞大學(xué)的Nathan D. wang博士在一個(gè)相關(guān)的評(píng)論中說(shuō)道，盡管報(bào)告顯示大多數(shù)成年人十年內(nèi)患心臟病的風(fēng)險(xiǎn)較低，但是在有風(fēng)險(xiǎn)者中，很大一部分所面臨的風(fēng)險(xiǎn)卻是很高的或是刻不容緩的。

　　他們補(bǔ)充說(shuō)，需要積極的治療措施和公共衛(wèi)生政策來(lái)使整體人口的患病的風(fēng)險(xiǎn)降低。
