美国约2,600万人患糖尿病,主要表现为身体无法产生或正常使用胰岛素而造成的高血糖。II型糖尿病是最普遍的糖尿病类型,通常与体重增加和年龄增加有关。这种疾病会增加心脏病发作和中风、肾脏疾病、失明、截肢及神经损伤的风险。另一种是I型糖尿病,是一种自身免疫疾病,通常在孩童时期得到确诊。
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has projected that as many as 1 in 3 U.S. adults could have diabetes by 2050. The disease is currently the seventh leading cause of death in the U.S.
美国疾病控制与预防中心(Centers for Disease Control and Prevention,简称CDC)预测到2050年,高达三分之一的成年美国人都会患糖尿病。目前糖尿病是美国人第七大死因。
Doctors say that improving diet is important not only for managing diabetes, but for keeping the adult-onset Type 2 at bay for those with the highest risk. The CDC estimates that 35% of U.S. adults age 20 and older─nearly 80 million Americans, by the agency's estimate─are affected with prediabetes, a condition in which people have higher-than-normal blood-glucose levels. People with prediabetes also have a higher risk of developing problems like heart disease and stroke.
医生们表示,改善饮食不仅对控制糖尿病至关重要,而且可以预防风险最高的成年人群的患病。CDC估计35%的20岁及以上的美国人──据估计相当于近8,000万人──处于糖尿病前期状态,即血糖水平高于正常值。糖尿病前期病人出现心脏病和中风等问题的风险也较高。
