问题                 Most Adults in U. S. Have Low Risk of Heart Disease
    More than 80 percent of U. S. 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(心脏病学). 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(心脏冠状动脉的)heart disease is distributed in the U. S. population," lead(带头的)author Dr. Earl S. Ford, from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention 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(营养的供给)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. By contrast, race or ethnicity(种族划分)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 risk, 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.
Dr. Daniel and Dr. Nathan suggest reducing the risk of overall population by______.

选项 A、losing weight
B、aggressive treatment measures
C、public health strategies
D、Both B and C

答案D

解析 两位科学家讲到,尽管大多数成年人10年内患心脏病的风险较低,但在有风险者中,很大一部分所面临的风险却是很高或者刻不容缓的,故只有采取积极的治疗措施和公共卫生政策(Aggressive treatment measures and public health strategies are needed)才能降低所有人群患病的风险概率。
