Obesity: the Scourge of the Western World
Obesity is rapidly becoming a new scourge of the western world, delegates agreed at the 11th European Conference on the issue in Vienna Wednesday to Saturday. According to statements before the opening of the conference—of 2, 000 specialists from more than 50 countries—1. 2 billion people worldwide are overweight, and 250 million are obese.
Professor Bernhard Ludvik of Vienna General Hospital said: "Obesity is a chronic illness. In Germany, 20 percent of the people are already affected, but in Japan only one percent. " But he said that there was hope for sufferers thanks to the new scientific discoveries and medication.
Professor Friedrich Hopichler of Salzberg said: "We are living in the new age(but)with the metabolism of a stone-age man. " "I have just been to the United States. It is really terrible. A pizza shop is springing up on every corner. We have been overrun by fast food and Coca-Cola-ization. "
Many of the experts stressed that obesity was a potential killer. Hopichler said: "80 percent of all diabetics are obese, also 50 percent of all patients with high blood pressure and 50 percent with adipose tissue complaints. " "10 percent more weight means 13 percent more risk of heart disease. Reducing one’s weight by 10 percent leads to 13 percent lower blood pressure. "
Another expert Hermann Toplak said that the state health services should improve their financing of preventive programs. "Though the health insurance pays for surgery(such as reducing the size of the stomach)when the body-mass index is more than 40. That is equivalent to a weight of 116 kilograms for a height of 1. 70 meters. One should start earlier. "
Ludvik said that prevention should begin in school. "Child obesity(fat deposits)correlates with the time which children spend in front of TV sets. "
The consequences were only apparent later on. No more than 15 percent of obese people.lived to the average life expectancy for their population group.
What is the correlation between body weight and heart disease and blood pressure?
选项
A、10 percent less body weight means 10 percent less risk of heart disease and high blood pressure.
B、13 percent more body weight means 10 percent more risk of heart disease and high blood pressure.
C、The more body weight one gains, the more risk of heart disease and high blood pressure he has.
D、The less body weight one gains, the more risk of heart disease and the less risk of high blood pressure he has.
答案
C
解析
题意:体重与心脏病和血压的关系是什么?根据文章第四段第三、四句“10 percent more weight means 13 percent…leads to 13 percent lowerblood pressure”可知,体重增加10%意味着患心脏痛的危险增加13%,体重减少10%可导致血压降低13%,所以A项和B项错误。只有C项符合。故本题选C。
