1975年,美国健康基金会发起了一项以学校为基础、由教师提供的心脏病、癌症和中风一级预防计划的开发、实施和评估。这项名为“了解你的身体”的方案的目的是通过改变饮食、体育活动和吸烟,有利地改变慢性病危险因素的人口分布。经过十多年的调查,发现该计划是可行的,并为学校工作人员、学生和家长所接受,似乎对纽约市地区不同人群的学龄儿童的预防相关知识、饮食摄入、肥胖、血胆固醇水平和吸烟率都有良好的影响。如果这些研究结果可以复制,这些方案的广泛实施有可能减少人口风险,为国家的主要原因过早死亡的未来发展。
In 1975, the American Health Foundation initiated the development, implementation, and evaluation of a school-based, teacher-delivered program of the primary prevention of heart disease, cancer, and stroke. The aims of this program, entitled “Know Your Body”, are to modify favorably the population distributions of risk factors for chronic disease through changes in diet, physical activity, and cigarette smoking. After more than a decade of investigation, this program has been found to be feasible and acceptable to school personnel, students, and parents, and appears to have had favorable effects on prevention-related knowledge, dietary intake, obesity, blood cholesterol levels, and the rate of initiation of cigarette smoking among diverse populations of school children in the New York City area. If these findings can be replicated, the widespread implementation of such programs has the potential to reduce the population risk for the future development of the nation's leading causes of premature mortality.
