一项最新研究报告称，以油炸食品、高盐食品和肉食为主的西式饮食易引发心脏病，目前全世界约30%的心脏病是由这种饮食方式引起的。同时，研究表明，富含水果和蔬菜的“谨慎饮食”则能够降低患心脏病的风险。该研究报告在本月21日的《人体循环》杂志上发表。

Meanwhile, a diet rich in fruits and vegetables, the so-called Prudent diet, is tied a low risk of heart attack, according to the study, published in the Oct. 21 issue of Circulation.

同时，研究表明，富含水果和蔬菜的“谨慎饮食”则能够降低患心脏病的风险。该研究报告在本月21日的《人体循环》杂志上发表。

The research, which looked at dietary habits in 52 countries, found people who ate a Western diet had a 35 percent greater risk of having a heart attack compared to those who ate little or no fried foods and meat. Those who followed a Prudent diet had a 30 percent lower risk of heart attack compared to those who went light on fruits and vegetables.

该项饮食习惯调查在52个国家开展。调查结果显示，以西式饮食为主的人患心脏病的几率比很少或不吃油炸食品和肉类的人高35%；而饮食“谨慎”者患心脏病的几率则比少食蔬菜水果的人低30%。

The authors also looked at an Oriental diet, rich in tofu, soy and other sauces, and found it did not increase or decrease the risk of a heart attack.
研究人员还研究了多吃豆腐、酱油和其他调料的“东方饮食”，结果发现这种饮食结构对心脏病发率没什么影响。

Previous studies have reached similar conclusions about the Prudent and Western diet in the United States and Europe, but did not include the Oriental pattern of eating. While some components of the Oriental diet may protect against heart trouble, the higher sodium content of sauces counter that benefit.

此前在美国和欧洲开展的有关“谨慎饮食”和西式饮食的研究也得出过类似结论，但都未涉及东方饮食。东方饮食结构中的一些成分能够保护心脏，但酱类中的高钠成分则又会抵消这一作用。
