学英语的一点小体会

Martin Prince is a professor at Kings College London. He says many people wrongly believe that dementia and Alzheimer's disease are not problems in poorer countries
Martin Prince是英国国王学院的教授，他说：许多人错误地认为痴呆和老年痴呆在贫穷国家不是问题。
MARTIN PRINCE: "There have been some more studies done recently in western Africa, which, I think give the lie to the notion that Alzheimer's disease is very rare amongst all the people in Africa. There are fewer older people because life expectancy is shorter, particularly with the ravages of HIV. But, amongst people who live into old age, the prevalence of dementia looks quite similar to high-income countries."
MARTIN PRINCE：在西非做了许多研究，许多非洲人错误地认为老年痴呆是罕见疾病。那里长寿者很少由于寿命短，特别是艾滋病毁灭。但是在他们中的年长者，出现的痴呆看上去与高收入的国家相似。
The world currently spends more than six hundred billion dollars a year to treat and care for people with
dementia. Yet the WHO says only eight countries currently have national programs in place to deal with dementia.
最近全球每年用超过60亿美元治疗和照顾痴呆者，世界卫生组织说：仅仅有8个国家把痴呆列入国家计划。
It urges greater efforts to identify dementia early, educate the public and provide better care. Dementia may be incurable, but health officials say much can be done to improve the lives of people who have it, and support their families and caregivers.
早期诊断痴呆、公众教育和提供好的照料是急迫、巨大工作。痴呆也许不能治愈，但是卫生健康组织说：改善生活状况、资助家庭和健康照料者。

A Little Exercise Is Better Than None
From VOA Learning English, this is the Health & Lifestyle report.

Exercise is good for us. It reduces the risks of dying from all causes, including cancer and heart disease. This is according to the World Health Organization.

But many people who work all week have little time for exercise.

So, they might try to do something to increase their heart rates over the weekend – go for a long run, take a bike ride, hike in the mountains or do a strenuous chore around the house, such as raking leaves, shoveling snow or digging a garden.

Gardening is a popular outdoor activity for many during the weekend. It's good exercise too. (AP Photo)

We sometimes call people who exercise only on Saturdays and Sundays "weekend warriors." But is it healthy to avoid exercise during the work-week and then try to fit it all in during the weekend?

A new study suggests that, yes, it is healthy: Even weekend warriors may reduce their risk of cancer and cardiovascular disease.

Benefits of being a weekend warrior

Australian researchers at the University of Sydney conducted the study. It took place over a nine-year period.

During that time, the researchers looked at the self-reported exercise habits and health examinations of more than 63,000 adults in England and Scotland. Then they connected that information to mortality – or, death – records.

The researchers found that people who exercised only one or two days a week improved their chances of living longer than people who did not exercise at all.

Even those who are very overweight – or, obese – could extend their lives by exercising a couple of days per week. Exercises included playing sports and taking a brisk walk.

First, let's look at cancer. When compared to those who did not exercise at all, weekend warriors had an 18 percent lower risk of dying from cancer.

As for cardiovascular disease, weekend warriors had a 40 percent lower risk of cardiovascular disease than inactive people, or so-called "couch potatoes." Couch potatoes are people who don't exercise. They simply sit all day like, well, like potatoes.

Emmanuel Stamatakis is the senior author of the study. He says that he found it "very encouraging" that even people who exercised as little as one or two times a week appear to lower their risk of early death.

In other words, their health improves even if they don't meet the suggested weekly amount of physical activity. However, to be in the best health, Stamatakis says, more exercise is better.

The WHO suggests that the average adult get at least 150 minutes of moderate to intense activity per
week. For the best results, the organization suggests 75 minutes per week of vigorous physical activity.

However, if you are busy with work and family duties, exercise as much as you can. Research seems to show that even a little is definitely better than none at all.

The researchers published their findings in the journal JAMA (JAM-ah) Internal Medicine.
