摘要

Honolulu―The risk of heart attacks and strokes is rising sharply in China, raising the specter of a high-cost public-health crisis in the world's most populous nation. For the first time at a major Western scientific meeting, researchers are reporting that nearly 30% of adult Chinese have high blood pressure and that one-third have elevated or high cholesterol levels. Nearly 6% of Chinese have diabetes while another 7% have blood-sugar levels indicating they are at risk of developing the disease. "Everything was much higher than we expected," says Jiang He, a researcher at Tulane School of Public Health and Tropical Medicine, New Orleans, and a co-author of several studies describing the prevalence of cardiovascular disease risk factors in China. Unless the country mounts an aggressive public-health effort to help reduce the risk, "China will expect a cardiovascular-disease epidemic in the very near future," Dr. He says.
