兒童被動(dòng)吸煙會(huì)導(dǎo)致慢性肺病的風(fēng)險(xiǎn)

Non-smoking adults have a higher risk of dying from serious lung disease if they grew up with parents who smoked, according to US research.

根據(jù)美國(guó)一項(xiàng)研究顯示，不吸煙的成年人如果在兒童時(shí)期與他們吸煙的父母一起生活，死于嚴(yán)重肺部疾病的風(fēng)險(xiǎn)會(huì)更高。

The researchers said childhood passive smoking was"likely to add seven deaths to every 100,000 non-smoking adults dying annually".

研究人員表示，兒童被動(dòng)吸煙“可能會(huì)讓每年10萬(wàn)人的不吸煙成年人的死亡人數(shù)再增加7人”。

The study of 70,900 non-smoking men and women was led by the American Cancer Society.

該研究的對(duì)象是70900名不吸煙男性和女性，由美國(guó)癌癥協(xié)會(huì)領(lǐng)導(dǎo)。

Experts said the best way to protect children was to quit smoking.

專家表示，保護(hù)兒童的最佳方法是戒煙。

If participants lived with a smoker during adulthood, there were other health implications, the study found.

研究發(fā)現(xiàn)，如果參與者在成年期與吸煙者生活在一起，則會(huì)產(chǎn)生其他健康問(wèn)題。

 

Smoke exposure of 10 or more hours every week increased their risk of death from ischemic heart disease by 27%, stroke by 23% and chronic obstructive lung disease by 42% compared to those who lived with non-smokers.

與不吸煙者相比，每周10小時(shí)或更長(zhǎng)時(shí)間的暴露在煙霧中會(huì)使患缺血性心臟病的風(fēng)險(xiǎn)增加27%，中風(fēng)風(fēng)險(xiǎn)增加23%，慢性阻塞性肺病增加42%。

Children whose parents smoke are known to be at risk of asthma and poor lung development. This study shows that the effects of childhood smoke exposure persist into adulthood, resulting in chronic obstructive lung disease.

如果父母吸煙，兒童有患哮喘和肺部發(fā)育不良的風(fēng)險(xiǎn)。該研究表明，兒童時(shí)期暴露在煙霧中的影響會(huì)持續(xù)到成年期，導(dǎo)致慢性阻塞性肺病。

While the researchers focused on mortality risks, they emphasised that childhood second-hand smoking may also increase chronic illness and healthcare dependency in later life.

雖然研究人員主要關(guān)注死亡風(fēng)險(xiǎn)，但他們強(qiáng)調(diào)兒童吸二手煙可能也會(huì)增加其患慢性病和晚年對(duì)醫(yī)療保健依賴的機(jī)率。

Dr Ryan Diver, one of the report's authors, said: "This is the first study to identify an association between childhood exposure to second-hand smoke and death from chronic obstructive lung disease in middle age and beyond.

該報(bào)告的作者之一瑞恩·戴弗博士表示：“這是第一項(xiàng)確定兒童接觸二手煙與中年及以后因慢性阻塞性肺病死亡之間關(guān)系的研究。”

"Our findings provide further evidence for reducing second-hand smoke exposure throughout life," he added.

他補(bǔ)充道：“我們的研究結(jié)果提供了要進(jìn)一步減少二手煙暴露的證據(jù)。”
