中年人面臨不健康退休生活的風險大綱

Unhealthy middle-aged people must improve their lifestyles if they want to enjoy a healthy retirement, a new government campaign is warning.

近日，一場英國政府發去的新運動警示不健康的中年人，如果他們想過上健康的退休生活，就必須改變他們的生活方式。

Public Health England's One You campaign is urging the over 40s to drink less, exercise more, eat better and give up smoking. It is the first national campaign to specifically target this group.

這項由英國公共衛生署發起的名爲“One You”運動，正敦促那些超過40歲的人們少喝酒、多運動、改善飲食以及戒菸。這是首次特別針對這一羣體而發起的全國性的運動。

Currently more than two-fifths of those aged 45 to 64 are living with an illness or disability in England.

如今，在英國45到64歲人羣中，超過五分之二的人受到疾病或者殘疾的困擾。

The campaign will warn those in middle-age that unless they change their ways they could die early or face a retirement blighted with ill-health.

這個運動將會警示那些中年人，除非他們改變自己的生活方式，否則他們很可能英年早逝或者在與疾病的折磨中度過退休生活。

While overall life expectancy has been rising in recent decades, the years people spend in good health has changed little.

儘管近幾十年來人類總體壽命長度有所增加，但是人們花費在保持身體健康的時間卻沒有多少變化。

But research has shown that living healthy in middle age can double an individual's chances of being healthy at 70.

研究顯示，在中年時期健康生活，能使人們在70歲仍保持身體健康的機率提高一倍。

To encourage people to change their ways, Public Health England, the government's advisory body, is launching an online lifestyle checker under the One You brand. It allows people to answer a series of simple questions about their lifestyle and gives them a rating out of 10.

爲了鼓勵人們改變他們的生活方式，英國公共衛生署在One You名下發起了在線生活方式打卡的活動。這項打卡活動讓人們回答一系列關於他們生活方式的簡單問題，然後以10分爲滿分做出評估。

It then provides them with advice about where they can get help and what they need to do to change their lifestyles. The campaign will be promoted online, on TV and through a national high street poster campaign.

之後它會爲人們提供建議，告訴他們可以去哪裏諮詢，以及他們該做什麼來改變他們的生活方式。這次運動將通過網絡、電視和主要街道上的海報進行宣傳推廣。

England's chief medical officer Prof Dame Sally Davies urged people to use it as an opportunity to act. "We all have the power to shape our future health by making simple and small changes now."

英國的首席醫療官員薩莉·戴維斯呼籲人們利用這次運動作爲一次行動的契機：“我們都有能力通過在當下做出一些小的改變來塑造未來的健康。”
