At least, how many years will people who are overweight at 40 lose? ______
Questions 11 — 13 are based on a report about obesity.
People who are overweight at 40 are likely to die at least three years sooner than those who are slim, meaning that being fat during middle age is just, as damaging to life expectancy as smoking, researchers say in a new study. The study was conducted by Dutch researchers and is published in The Annals of Internal Medicine.
Nonsmokers who were classified as overweight, but not obese, lost an average of three years off their lives. Obese people died even sooner. Obese female nonsmokers lost an average of 7.1 years, while obese male nonsmokers lost 5.8 years.
Scientists have long known that overweight people have shorter life expectancies, but few large-scale studies have been able to pinpoint how many years they lose. "This study is saying that if you are overweight by your mid-30’s to mid-40’s, even if you lose some weight later on, you still carry a higher risk of dying," said Dr. Serge Jabbour, director of the weight-loss clinic at Thomas Jefferson University Hospital in Philadelphia. "The message is that you have to work early on your weight. If you wait a long time, the damage may have been done."
For smokers, the results were worse. Obese female smokers died 7.2 years sooner than normal-weight smokers and 13. 3 years sooner than trim nonsmoking women. Obese male smokers lived 6.7 years less than trim smokers, and 13.7 years less than trim nonsmokers.
The results were culled from 3,457 volunteers in Framingham, Mass. , from 1948 to 1990. The data were analyzed by researchers at Erasmus Medical Center and the University of Groningen in the Netherlands.
About two-thirds of American adults are overweight or obese, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Studies have also shown that people are getting fatter at younger ages.
"The smoking epidemic in the Western world is waning; however, a new fear should be the increasing prevalence of overweight and obesity in young adults, which shows another potentially preventable public health disaster." the researchers said.
选项
A、Smoking.
B、Obesity in young adults.
C、Drinking.
D、Obesity in elderly adults.
答案
B
解析
问题是“研究人员说,‘……这显示了另一个可能可预防的:公共健康灾难。’这里的‘另一个可能可预防的公共健康灾难’是指什么?”正确答案是“年轻人的肥胖问题。”其依据是“‘The smoking epidemic in the Western world is waning;however,a new fearshould be the increasing prevalence of overweight and obesity in young adults,whichshows another potentially preventable public health disaster.’the researchers said.”。除此之外,考生也可以根据上下文来进行归纳和判断。
