Clean living could cut third of many cancers
潔淨的生活方式可以減少三分之一的許多癌症
LONDON (Reuters) – Healthier living could prevent about a third of the most common cancers in rich countries and about a quarter in poorer ones, international researchers said on Thursday.
倫敦（路透社）-國際研究人員週四表示，在富裕國家，健康的生活方式可以防止大約三分之一的最常見的癌症，而在窮的國家約可防止四分之一。
Better diets, more exercise and controlling weight could also prevent more than 40 percent of colon and breast cancer cases in some countries, according to the study which urged governments and individuals to do more to cut the number of global cancer deaths each year.
據研究，在一些國家，更好的飲食、多運動和控制體重也可以防止百分之四十以上的結腸癌和乳腺癌的案件，該研究也敦促各國政府和個人做更多的工作，以減少全球每年因癌症死亡人數。
"At the time of publication, roughly 11 million people worldwide are diagnosed with cancer and nearly eight million people die from cancer each year," said Michael Marmot, who led the study from the World Cancer Research Fund and the American Institute for Cancer Research. "However, cancer is mostly preventable."
領導世界癌症研究基金會和美國癌症研究所進行這項研究的邁克爾‧麻莫說：“在研究報告發行時，每年約有11萬人被診斷為癌症，近8萬人死於癌症”，“但是，大部分癌症是可以預防的。 ”
The study involved 23 experts who analyzed both the incidence of 12 common cancers across the world and data on diet, exercise and weight to see how these factors contributed to kidney, mouth, lung, gallbladder and the other cancers.
這項研究共有23名專家參與，他們分析世界各地常見的12種癌症的發病率，以及飲食、運動和體重等的數據，看看這些因素如何促成腎、口腔、肺、膽囊和其他癌症。
The researchers found that healthier living would prevent 43 percent of colon cancer cases and 42 percent of breast cancer cases in Britain, and 45 percent of bowel cancer and 38 percent of breast cancer cases in the United States.
研究人員發現，健康的生活方式在英國可以防止百分之四十三的結腸癌病例和百分之四十二的乳腺癌病例，在美國可以防止百分之四十五腸癌和百分之三十八的乳腺癌病例。
The findings follow the same groups' study in 2007 that showed how quickly people grow and what they eat are both significant causes of cancer.
此項發現接續該研究小組在2007年所作研究，顯示人們成長速度以及吃什麼兩者都對癌症的成因有顯著的影響。
They recommended -- in line with what health experts, including governments and the U.N. World Health Organization, have long been advising -- that people follow diets based on fruits, vegetables and whole grains and go easy on red meats, dairy products and fats.
他們建議－與包括各國政府和聯合國世界衛生組織衛生專家長期以來的建議一致－人們遵循以水果、蔬菜和粗糧為基礎的飲食，並減少紅肉、奶製品和脂肪等的攝取。
The team also looked at China and Brazil as representatives of low- and middle-income countries, respectively.
該小組還考察了分別代表低收入國家－中國和中等收入國家－巴西。
Overall improving diet, exercise and weight would in the United States prevent more than a third of the 12 most common cancers -- which also included stomach, womb (uterus), prostate, pancreas and esophagus tumors.
整體改善飲食、運動和體重，在美國可以防止了三分之一以上的12個最常見的癌症－其中也包括胃、子宮、前列腺、胰腺和食道腫瘤。
This amounted to 39 percent of the cancers in Britain, 30 percent in Brazil and 27 percent in China.
在英國相當於百分之三十九的癌症，在巴西為百分之三十，中國為百分之二十七。
"This report shows that by making relatively straightforward changes, we could significantly reduce the number of cancer cases around the world," Marmot said in a statement.
麻莫說在一份聲明中說：“這份報告顯示，通過相對簡單的變化，我們可以顯著減少在世界各地的癌症病例”。
"On a global level every year, there are millions of cancer cases that could have been prevented and this is why we need to act now before the situation gets even worse."
“以全世界而言，每年有數以百萬計的癌症病例本來是可以避免的，這就是為什麼在局勢變得更糟之前，我們需要現在就採取行動”。
