A strong case exists in favour of encouraging children not to smoke, to be reasonably physically active and to eat in moderation to avoid obesity. The principal role of the paediatrician is in the education of health personnel who are in a position to influence children and their families to adopt these measures. Paediatricians will also be involved with children at special risk of ischaemic heart disease. They have a responsibility to promote reasearch to determine the efficacy of these measures in the prevention of coronary heart disease.
有充分理由鼓励儿童不要吸烟,要适度进行体育活动并适度饮食以避免肥胖。儿科医生的主要作用在于教育那些能够影响儿童及其家庭采取这些措施的卫生人员。儿科医生还将关注患有缺血性心脏病特殊风险的儿童。他们有责任推动研究以确定这些措施在预防冠心病方面的功效。
