贫穷是造成疾病的一大根源| 双语
Back in 2011 member countries of the World Health Organization, the WHO, came up with a plan to cut mortality from noncommunicable diseases 25 percent by the year 2025. The program was thus called the 25 X 25 Initiative.
早在2011年，世界卫生组织(WHO)的成员国就提出了一项计划，截止到2025年要将非传染性疾病的死亡率降低25%。这个项目也因此被称为“25 X 25倡议”。
And it identified various health risk factors, such as smoking, high blood pressure, diabetes and a sedentary lifestyle. What the Initiative did not include as a risk factor for poor health was poverty.
该倡议确定了影响健康风险的因素，如吸烟、高血压、糖尿病以及久坐的生活方式。但是，该倡议并没有将贫穷列为健康不良的风险因素。
An international team of researchers thus decided to look at poverty as a possible driver of noncommunicable illness. They pored over data from 48 previously published studies that included socioeconomic information.
因此，某国际研究团队决定调查贫困是不是造成非传染性疾病的可能驱动因素。他们仔细研究了先前发表的48项研究数据，这些数据包含了社会经济信息。
Together these studies include some 1.75 million subjects from seven high-income countries in the WHO. And the research team found that being poor was more dangerous than obesity or high alcohol intake. The study is in the journal The Lancet.
这些研究总共涉及来自世界卫生组织七个高收入国家的175万名受试者。研究小组发现，贫穷比肥胖或酗酒更危险。这项研究发表在《柳叶刀》杂志上。
The results were reported in terms of years of life lost between the ages of 40 and 85. Being a current smoker was associated with 4.8 years of lost life, diabetes with 3.9 years and physical inactivity with 2.4 years.
该研究报告，给出了的寿命是在40岁至85岁之间。吸烟者的寿命缩短4.8年，糖尿病缩短3.9年，缺乏运动则是2.4年。
Being of low socioeconomic status was almost as bad as inactivity, with 2.1 years of lost life. High blood pressure only accounted for 1.6 years lost and high alcohol intake was good for—or bad for—0.5 years gone.
低社会经济地位和缺乏运动造成的寿命影响几乎是一样糟糕的，会使寿命损失2.1年。而高血压只会使寿命减少1.6年，高酒精摄入量则是缩短0.5年。
Because of these findings, the researchers wrote that the results “suggest that socioeconomic Circumstances…should be treated as a target for local and global health strategies, health risk surveillance, interventions, and policy.” In other words, part of treating disease is treating poverty.
基于这些发现，研究人员写道，研究结果“表明社会经济地位……应该被视为地方和全球卫生战略、健康风险监测、干预和政策的目标。”换句话说，治疗疾病的一部分内容就是要解决贫困。
