How old is your heart?
你的心臟年齡是多少？
Have you ever thought someone looks younger or older than their actual age? Scientists say our organs are just the same.
你有沒有覺得有些人看起來比他們的實(shí)際年齡要更年輕或更老？科學(xué)家們說，人體器官也有年齡。
Importantly, the higher your heart age, the higher your risk of having a heart attack or stroke.
然而重要的是，你的心臟年齡越高，患心臟病或中風(fēng)的風(fēng)險(xiǎn)就越高。
It also increases the risk of certain diseases.
患一些特定疾病的風(fēng)險(xiǎn)也會(huì)增高。
dementia
失智癥
chronic kidney disease
慢性腎病
diabetes
糖尿病
There are calculators online that can give us a rough idea of our heart's age.
網(wǎng)上現(xiàn)在有一種計(jì)算工具，可以根據(jù)你輸入的各項(xiàng)信息估算心臟年齡。
And doctors use electrocardiograms and blood pressure analysis to get a more accurate snapshot.
醫(yī)生可以通過給人們做心電圖和測(cè)量血壓來獲取每個(gè)人更準(zhǔn)確的心臟健康狀況，從而判斷心臟的年齡。
But now, scientists are starting to use AI to analyse MRI scans – picking up the earliest signs of premature ageing that even expert cardiologists would be unlikely to detect.
現(xiàn)在科學(xué)家們開始使用人工智能來分析核磁共振掃描圖像，希望能及時(shí)發(fā)現(xiàn)心臟過早衰老的最初跡象，通常即便是心臟病專家也不太可能及時(shí)發(fā)現(xiàn)這些跡象。
It's hoped that in the future this AI modelling can show whether premature ageing can be slowed or reversed.
希望未來這種人工智能模型能夠揭示心臟過早衰老這一過程是否可以被減緩或被逆轉(zhuǎn)。
But can you reduce the risk now?
但現(xiàn)在有哪些方法可以幫你降低心臟過早衰老的風(fēng)險(xiǎn)？
Scientists haven't figured out yet whether premature ageing is more down to our genetics or lifestyle.
科學(xué)家們尚未弄清楚引起過早衰老的原因究竟是基因還是生活方式。
Genes like the ones associated with muscle elasticity could impact our heart.
比如：與肌肉彈性相關(guān)的基因可能會(huì)影響我們的心臟健康。
But they've identified high blood pressure, smoking, diabetes and obesity as major risk factors for premature heart ageing.
但科學(xué)家們已經(jīng)確定高血壓、吸煙、糖尿病和肥胖是心臟過早衰老的主要風(fēng)險(xiǎn)因素。
So, following these recommendations can help reduce those risks.
因此，遵循這四條建議有助于降低心臟過早衰老的風(fēng)險(xiǎn)。
Eat well.
健康飲食。
Exercise.
做運(yùn)動(dòng)。
Check blood pressure.
測(cè)量血壓。
Not smoking.
不吸煙。
