As we move into the new century, we continue to focus on ways to prevent disease, promote health, and prolong life. We have made enormous strides in some arenas, including deaths from infectious diseases caused by mass immunization, improved sanitation, better nutrition, heart disease caused by risk factor modification, and some cancers caused by smoking cessation and screening for early detection. Although we have made progress, many challenges remain.
随着我们迈入新世纪，我们继续专注于预防疾病、促进健康和延长寿命的方法。我们在一些领域取得了巨大进展，包括通过大规模免疫接种预防传染病死亡、改善卫生条件、改善营养、通过改变风险因素预防心脏病，以及通过戒烟和早期检测筛查预防一些癌症。尽管我们取得了进展，但仍有许多挑战。
