赞恩圣. 约翰 今年秋天你将在Windward学校读大三吗. “I am interested in the cardiovascular health of teenagers because I recognize the importance of maintaining heart health from youth into old age. 亲属有心血管疾病, 我意识到保持一个人的心脏健康是多么重要.”
Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death in the United States and globally, 尽管在过去的50年里心血管疾病死亡率有所改善, 心脏病的死亡率仍然高得令人无法接受. 除了, recent negative trends in the heath of adolescents make it likely that cardiovascular disease epidemic will only worsen in the coming years. 最近的几项研究表明，美国青少年现在不是很健康. 使用来自美国疾病控制和预防中心(CDC)的数据, researchers recently evaluated the frequency of “ideal heart health” (normal blood pressure, 胆固醇, 血糖, 身体质量指数以及健康饮食, regular physical activity and not smoking) in teens and found he numbers troubling. 他们特别发现:
- 超过80%的青少年男孩和女孩饮食不良. (不到1%的人有理想的饮食习惯)
- 超过30%的男孩和40%的女孩有高血糖水平
- 56%的女孩和33%的男孩没有进行足够的体育活动
- 三分之一的男孩和女孩都超重和肥胖
- 2/3的男孩和女孩都有高胆固醇水平
- 幸运的是, most of the teens had never smoked a cigarette but unfortunately almost 25% of teens had smoked within the past month
- 幸运的是，大多数男孩和女孩(92.9%和93.(分别为4%)有理想血压
So, 尽管这份报告中有一些好消息, the overall findings and the presence of these poor health metrics in teens does not bode well for the future of this generation.
Recent research has also found that teens are under increasing amounts of stress. Many teens report being under more stress than they believe is healthy (figure 1), and only half of teens (50%) report feeling confident about their ability to handle their personal problems. 而青少年和成年人都能感受到压力, teens have underdeveloped stress management skills and thus may be more adversely affected by stress. 众所周知，压力是导致心血管疾病的一个危险因素.
我们发现不良饮食普遍存在, lack of physical activity and increased stress among teens to be particularly alarming. 这就是为什么我们设想了皇冠hga025大学洛杉矶分校青少年心脏健康倡议. Three motivated teens were the inaugural members of the UCLA 青少年心脏健康倡议 in 2014. 在过去的两年里, 这些青少年进行了头脑风暴会议, completed school visits to share heart healthy messages to other teens and children, 并创造了一个座右铭和网页内容来激励和分享:
“移动你的脚…….注意你的饮食…….保持乐观!”
