(C) The largestever study of the link between city walkability and high blood pressure has been held up as evidence of the “invisible value of urban design” in improving longterm health outes, say researchers. The study of around 430,000 people aged between 38 and 73 and living in 22 UK cities found significant associations between the increased walkability of a neighborhood, lower blood pressure and reduced risk of high blood pressure among its residents. The outes remained consistent even after adjustments for sociodemographic (社會 人口統(tǒng)計學(xué) ), lifestyle and changing physical environment factors, though the protective effects were particularly pronounced among participants aged between 50 and 60, women, and those residing in higher density and poor neighborhoods. The paper was published in the International Journal of Hygiene and Environmental Health this week. With high blood pressure a major risk factor for chronic (慢性的 ) and particularly heart diseases, researchers at the University of Hong Kong and Oxford University said the findings demonstrated the need to take notice of the healthinfluencing factor in urban design. “With the increasing pace of urbanization and demographic shifts towards an ageing population, we bee more likely to suffer from chronic diseases,” said Dr. Chinmoy Sarkar, an assistant professor at the Healthy High Density Cities Lab of the University of Hong Kong and lead author of the study. “The action taken to improve public health must consider the invisible value of urban planning and design. “We are spending billions of pounds in preventing and curing heart diseases — if we are able to invest in creating healthy cities through small changes in the design of our neighborhoods to make them more activityfriendly and walkable, then probably, we will have significant savings in future healthcare expenses.” To measure a neighborhood?s activitypromoting potential, researchers developed a set of index of walkability containing relevant urban elements, including residential and retail (零售 ) density, public transport, streetlevel movement, and distance to attractive destinations. Poorly designed spaces generally reduced walking and physical activity, promoting the lifestyles of long time sitting down and not moving。 (trend) 73．這個小伙子字寫得漂亮，這讓他在求職面試中脫穎而出。 (superior) 75．大學(xué)畢業(yè)生當(dāng)保安是否是資源浪費是我昨天主持的小組辯論賽的主題。請寫封回信，內(nèi)容必須包括： ? 你的活動建議； ? 你的理由。） 青浦區(qū) 2017 學(xué)年 高三 年級 第二次學(xué)業(yè)質(zhì)量調(diào)研測試 英語 學(xué)科 試卷 聽力文字稿 Listening Comprehension Section A Directions: In Section A, you will hear ten short conversations between two speakers.
