英国人更健康 美国人更长寿
According to the Daily Telegraph of November 4, people in the US are twice as likely to contract diabetes 1 and a third more likely to develop cancer than those among similar aged 2 people in England。
But despite this, Americans, aged 65, can expect to live on average around three months longer than their equivalent retirees across the Atlantic。
The discrepancies 3 suggests that while English people have healthier lifestyles than Americans, the latter's health care system is better able to patch them up。
The study, co-authored by the Institute for Fiscal 4 Studies in London, involved analyzing 5 information from two comparable surveys of people aged 50 and over in the United States and England。
But both sets of pensioners 6 had a similar life expectancy 7 (82 for men, 85 for women) with Americans actually living on average a few months longer。
Mr Smith said that research suggested that "higher-quality medical care in the United States than in England" meant people were less likely to die from chronic 8 illnesses。
据英国《每日电讯报》11月4日报道,美国患有糖尿病的人是英国的两倍,患有癌症的人要比英国多三分之一。
尽管如此,年龄在65岁的美国人平均要比生活在跨太平洋的英国的退休人士寿命要长3个月。
这些差异表明,尽管英国人的生活方式要比美国人更健康,但是美国的医疗保健体系要比英国更完善,老年人的寿命要略长一些。
该研究报告是由伦敦财政研究学会人员共同撰写,报告分析了来自美国和英国分别针对年龄在50岁以及以上的老年人进行的两份调查。
两个国家的退休人群的寿命相似(男性平均82岁,女性平均85岁),但是美国人实际上平均寿命要比英国人多几个月。
史密斯先生说,研究表明“美国高水平的医疗保健体系要比英国更胜一筹,”这也意味着美国人死于慢性疾病的人少之又少。
