科学家在维也纳欧洲肥胖大会上公布的最新报告指出,全球范围内肥胖症患者的比例正在急速上升,预计2045年将增加到22%。这意味着,全球约1/4的人将成为肥胖症患者。如果按照目前的趋势,那么到2045年全球将有1/8的人患2型糖尿病。 One in eight people in the world will have type 2 diabetes by 2045 if obesity continues to climb at the present rate, according to a new study. 根据一项新研究,如果肥胖症按照目前的速度发展下去,那么到2045年全球将有1/8的人患2型糖尿病。 【科普】 2型糖尿病原名叫成人发病型糖尿病,多在35~40岁之后发病,占糖尿病患者90%以上。导致2型糖尿病的主要诱因包括肥胖、体力活动过少和应激。由于上述诱因,患者的胰岛素分泌能力及身体对胰岛素的敏感性逐渐降低,血糖升高,导致糖尿病。 Last year, 14% of the global population was obese and 9% had type 2 diabetes. By 2045, 22% will be obese and 14% will be suffering from type 2 diabetes, estimates presented at the European Congress on Obesity in Vienna suggest. 2017年,全球肥胖症发病率为14%,2 型糖尿病发病率为9%。维也纳欧洲肥胖大会上公布的预测认为,到2045年,全球将有22%的人患肥胖症,14%的人患2型糖尿病。 The implications of the expanding numbers are severe for health systems in every country. Diabetes UK estimates that the NHS spends £14 billion a year on the disease already, which is about 10% of its budget. People with diabetes need monitoring, treatment and care for the serious potential complications which can include amputations and blindness. |
