Britons are the fattest people in Europe, with one of the world’s fastest obesity (肥胖症) growth rates, according to a leading international think-tank. The UK comes top out of 20 European Union nations, with almost one in four people so fat that they could face an early grave. Levels of fatness in Scottish children are the second worst in the world, behind the US, while those in children in England are the eighth worst. Overall, in a study of citizens of the 33 richest countries, the UK is the fifth behind the US, Mexico, Chile and New Zealand.
Developed nations are getting fatter, warns the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) which produced the report. The Paris-based watchdog (监督机构) claims the growing costs of healthcare and wasted resources are making obesity a top priority for many governments.
Report author Franco Sassi, a former London School of Economics lecturer, puts the blame on modern lifestyles. He said that food is much cheaper than in the past, food in particular that is not particularly healthy, and people are changing their lifestyles. They have less time to prepare meals and are eating out more often in restaurants. There is a frightening increase in the epidemic (流行病). We’ve not reached the destination yet.
According to a report, the lifespan of an obese person is up to 10 years shorter than that of a normal-weight person—the same loss of lifespan incurred by smoking. It shows 24 percent of men were rated obese and 25 percent of women in 2008 in the UK. In addition, 42 percent of men are overweight and 32 percent of women, meaning that up to two in three people have their health put at risk by their weight. In Scotland, latest figures show 35 percent of 12 to 15-year-olds are overweight or obese, compared with 29 percent of children aged 5 to 17 in England. [br] Compared with smokers, what will happen to the fat people?
选项
A、They will live as long as smokers.
B、They will live longer than smokers.
C、They will live shorter than smokers.
D、They will have the same weight as the smokers.
答案
A
解析
第四段第一句提到,一份报告显示,肥胖者的寿命比体重正常者要短10年——这跟吸烟导致的寿命缩短年限相当。由此可知,肥胖者和吸烟者的寿命基本一样,比正常人都要少10年,故答案为A)。
