2025年中國內地胖孩子將成爲全球最多

Overweight children and teenagers aged between 5 and 17.9 in the Chinese mainland will reach 48.5m by 2025, a number that surpasses the population of Spain, the study said.

一項研究稱，到2025年，我國內地年齡5歲到17.9歲的超重兒童和青少年人數將達到4850萬，從而超過西班牙的人口總數。

Alongside the rising obesity rate among Chinese youth, millions of them are estimated to suffer from diseases such as fatty liver, diabetes, high blood pressure and low glucose tolerance.

隨着中國青少年肥胖率的升高，預計他們中將有數百萬人患上脂肪肝、糖尿病、高血壓和糖耐量減低等疾病。

The study said that in all there would be 268m overweight school-aged children worldwide by 2025, including 91m obese, assuming no policy interventions have proven effective at changing existing trends.

研究稱，假設沒有什麼政策干預手段被證實能有效改變現有趨勢，到2025年，全世界超重學齡期兒童人數將達2.68億，其中肥胖人數達9100萬。

Inactivity and the consumption of junk food and soda drink contribute to the growing number of overweight youth in the world, according to Tim Lobstein, the federation's head of policy.

世界肥胖聯盟政策事務主管蒂姆·洛布斯坦稱，不運動以及食用垃圾食品和飲用碳酸飲料是全世界超重青少年人數增加的部分原因。

The State Council released guidelines in 2011 responding to the increase of obese children in China. The guideline for the development of Chinese youth aimed to prevent more children from becoming obese, stated the SCMP.

國務院於2011年發佈的指導方針，對中國肥胖兒童的增長做出了迴應。據《南華早報》報道稱，這項針對中國青少年發展的指導方針旨在防止更多的兒童變得肥胖。

The guideline urges local authorities in China to strengthen the training of medical staff around children's health and promote the knowledge of balanced eating and drinking habits among their parents.

該指導方針敦促我國地方當局加強醫療人員在兒童健康方面的培訓，在父母間推廣關於平衡膳食和飲酒習慣方面的知識。
