Five Factors Cut Diabetes Risk

Diabetes affects more than one in 10 Americans, with the numbers projected to keep climbing. The chronic disease can mean frequent needle jabs to test blood sugar levels—and costly treatments. And there is still no cure in sight.
糖尿病影响了超过10%的美国人，而这个数据预计会攀升。这种慢性病意味着要频繁地接受打针来检测血糖水平以及昂贵的治疗费。并且眼下还没有完全的治愈方法。

But recently, researchers have found that a number of lifestyle factors up the odds of getting type 2 diabetes. These factors include obesity, a poor diet, lack of physical activity, cigarettes and too much alcohol.
但是现在，研究者们发现一系列生活因素导致了Ⅱ型糖尿病。这些因素包括肥胖、不良的日常饮食，缺乏身体锻炼，抽烟以及过度酗酒。

So, how much can cutting out these vices lower the need for insulin injections in the future? A lot, says a study in the Annals of Internal Medicine. [Jared Reis, et al., "Lifestyle factors and risk for new-onset diabetes: a population-based cohort study"
所以，戒除这些恶习能够在多大程度上减少未来对注射胰岛素的需要量？事实上有许多，这来自于一份内科医学年鉴上的研究，

Researchers followed the health of more than 200,000 adults aged 50 to 71 over 11 years. The risk of developing diabetes over the study period was about 10 percent for men and 8 percent for women. But each healthful behavior—say, getting plenty of exercise—lowered the risk of developing diabetes by as much as 39 percent in women and 31 percent in men. The trick, of course, is to successfully motivate people
to change their current behavior in order to avoid a diabetic future.
研究者们花了11年的时间，追踪超过20万年龄在50到70岁之间的成年人的健康状况。这份研究表明，在跟踪调查期间能发展为糖尿病的几率男性占了10%，女性占了8%。但每一个健康的行为，比如得到充分的锻炼，都会降低得糖尿病的风险，女性降低了39%而男性降低了31%。当然，这个诡计的目的其实是为了鼓励人们成功改变他们现在的习惯，以避免未来得糖尿病的危险。
