“The release of this report in advance of World Health Day is meant as a call to global action to halt(遏止)the rise of type 2 diabetes, which is killing one and one half million people a year. The World Health Organization estimates 43 percent of these deaths occur prematurely(過早地), before the age of 70. The WHO says the highest rates are in the Middle East, Southeast Asia and the western Pacific. The WHO report says the dramatic rise of this deadly disease is largely due to the increasing number of overweight and obese(肥胖的)people. Lisa Schlein, Geneva(日內(nèi)瓦).”
