问题 Owning a cat can reduce the risk of heart attacks and strokes by more than a third, researchers have found. Scientists said that having a cat helped to relieve stress and anxiety, which is known to help protect against heart disease by lowering blood pressure and reducing the heart rate. The 10-year study looked at 4, 435 adults aged between 30 and 75 , about half of whom owned a cat. The findings, presented at a stroke conference in America, showed that 3. 4 percent of the cat owners died from a heart attack over 10 years. Among the group who had never owned a cat the rate was 5. 8 percent.
Cat owners still had a much reduced chance of developing strokes or heart attacks when researchers took account of other factors known to trigger heart disease, including high cholesterol levels, smoking and diabetes.
选项
答案 研究人员发现，养猫能使患心脏病和中风的风险降低1／3以上。科研人员称，养猫有助于减轻压力、缓解焦虑情绪，从而降低血压和心律，这有助于预防心脏病。研究人员对4435名年龄在30至75岁之间的成人进行了为期lO年的调查，调查对象中约有一半人养猫。研究结果在美国的一个中风研讨会上公布时显示，在这10年里，有3．4％的养猫人士死于心脏病，而从未养过猫的人死于心脏病的比例为5．8％。研究人员还综合考虑了高胆固醇、吸烟和糖尿病等可能引发心脏病的其他一些因素，结果发现养猫人士患中风或心脏病的可能性还是要小很多。
