CDC: 50岁及以上的成年人需要更多的体力活动
CDC: Adults Aged 50 and Older Need More Physical Activity

More than 1 in 4 Americans ages 50 and older get no physical activity beyond their normal daily routine, according to a new report from the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). That’s about 31 million people.

根据美国疾病控制与预防中心（疾病预防控制中心）的一个新的报告，4岁以上的50岁以上的1岁以上的美国人没有体力活动超出正常的日常生活。这是约3100万人。

According to the CDC, regular physical activity is vital for healthy aging. It can reduce the risk of early death and help prevent, delay, or manage many chronic diseases faced by adults ages 50 and older. These include stroke, heart disease, arthritis, some types of cancer, diabetes, lung disease (COPD), and depression. In 2014, the CDC says 2 in 3 adults ages 50 and older had at least one chronic disease.

根据疾病预防控制中心的控制，经常性的身体活动对健康的老化是至关重要的。它可以减少早期死亡的风险，有助于防止，延迟，或管理许多50岁以上的成年人所面临的慢性疾病。这些措施包括中风，心脏病，关节炎，某些类型的癌症，糖尿病，肺部疾病（慢性阻塞性肺病）和抑郁症。在2014年，疾病预防控制中心说，3个50岁以上的2岁以上的成年人至少有一种慢性病。

The American Cancer Society recommends that adults get at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity activity (like brisk walking) or 75 minutes of vigorous-intensity activity each week, preferably spread throughout the week. Vigorous activities are performed at a higher intensity and cause an increased heart rate, sweating, and a faster breathing rate.

美国癌症协会建议成年人每周至少进行150分钟的中等强度的活动（如快步行走）或每周75分钟的剧烈活动，最好是在一周内传播。积极的活动是在一个更高的强度，并导致增加的心脏率，出汗，和更快的呼吸速率。

However, getting any amount of physical activity still offers some health benefits. Even a little bit is better than none. For people who are inactive, starting slowly and gradually adding more activity can be an important step toward better health. The CDC recommends setting a goal to do 10 more minutes of activity this week than you did last week.

然而，获得任何数量的体力活动仍然提供一些健康的好处。甚至有一点比没有好。对于那些不活跃的人，开始慢慢地，逐渐增加更多的活动可以是更好的健康的一个重要的一步。疾病预防控制中心建议本周制定一个目标做10分钟的活动比上周做的多。

Activity levels vary among populations

The report, "Physical Inactivity Among Adults 50 Years and Older – United States, 2014," was published September 16, 2016 in Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report.

活动水平在人群中有所不同

报告称，“50岁及以上的成年人中的身体活动，2014年的美国，”在2016年9月16日的发病率和死亡率周报上发表。

In it, the CDC looked at surveys from almost 277,000 people ages 50 and older living in all 50 states and Washington, DC. The surveys asked people about their level of activity and whether they’ve been diagnosed with a chronic disease. Overall, 27.5% of people in the study said they were inactive, meaning they did no physical activity outside of work.

在这一点上，疾病预防控制中心从近50名277000岁以上的老年人生活在50个州和华盛顿特区的调查中进行调查。调查询问了人们关于他们的活动水平，以及他们是否被诊断出患有慢性病。总体而言，27.5%的人在研究中说，他们是不活跃的，这意味着他们没有体力活动以外的工作。

In addition, people were more likely to be inactive as they got older:

• 25.4% of those ages 50 – 64 years were inactive.
• 26.9% of those ages 65-74 years were inactive.
• 35.3% of those 75 years and older were inactive.
  

此外，人们更可能是不活动的，因为他们老了：

• 25.4%的年龄50岁，64岁是不活跃的。
• 26.9%的人年龄65-74岁是无效的。
• 75的35.3%岁及以上的人不活跃。
  

Rates also varied among gender, ethnicity, education level, geographic location, and health status:

• 29.4% of women were inactive compared with 25.5% of men.
• 32.7% of Hispanics were inactive compared with 33.1% of non-Hispanic blacks, 26.2% of non-Hispanic whites, and 27.1% of those of other ethnicities.
• The less education people had, the more likely they were to be inactive.
• The more overweight people were, the more likely they were to be inactive.
• Inactivity was highest in the South (30.1%) and lowest in the West (23.1%).
• Those who had ever been diagnosed with a chronic disease were 30% more likely to be inactive than those who had not.
  

不同性别、种族、教育程度、地理位置、和健康状况之间的比率也有所不同:

• 相比29.4%的妇女、25.5%的男性是不活跃的。
• 32.7%的西班牙裔是无效的非西班牙裔黑人33.1%相比，非西班牙裔白人的26.2%，和那些其他种族的27.1%。
• 教育程度越少的人，他们就越有可能不活跃。
• 超重的人越多，他们就越有可能处于不活跃状态。
• 在南部，不活动是最高的（30.1%）和最低的西部（23.1%）。
• 那些曾经被诊断为慢性病的人比那些没有被诊断为慢性病的人更可能是不活跃的30%。
  

Community action needed

The CDC is urging communities to break down barriers that may prevent some older Americans from being physically active by providing safe places for them to do so. At the local government level, officials can design communities that make it safe and easy for people of all ages and abilities to be active and make public spaces available to them. Transportation engineers and planning professionals can make communities more walkable and support public transit systems. Community organizations can offer and promote programs that encourage physical activity.

社区行动需要

疾病预防控制中心敦促社区打破障碍，可能会阻止一些老年人的身体活动，为他们提供安全的地方，这样做。在地方政府层面，官员可以设计社区，使它更安全和方便的人的所有年龄和能力是积极的，使公共空间提供给他们。交通工程师和规划人员可以使社区更适合步行，支持公共交通系统。社区组织可以提供和促进鼓励体育活动的项目。
