In the U.K., coronary heart disease has reached epidemic proportions. It is the commonest cause of death after the age of 35 years and the fastest rate of increase is in early middle age. The epidemic is due mainly to our way of life. The most important factors are dietary, with smoking, physical inactivity and stress also contributing. Twenty independent working parties from different countries have reviewed the dietary evidence and reached a strong consensus on dietary recommendations. Little action has been taken in the U.K. The Coronary Prevention Group has been formed to consider the reasons for this inaction and also the implication for research, the government, the Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food, the Department of Health and Social Security, the food and agriculture industries, caterers, nutrition education and for individuals, of the dietary recommendations.
在英国，冠心病已达到流行程度。它是35岁之后最常见的死因，且增长最快的年龄段是中年早期。这种流行病主要归因于我们的生活方式。最重要的因素是饮食，吸烟、缺乏身体活动和压力也有影响。来自不同国家的20个独立工作小组审查了饮食方面的证据，并就饮食建议达成了强烈共识。在英国几乎没有采取任何行动。已经成立了冠心病预防小组，以研究这种不作为的原因，以及饮食建议对研究、政府、农业渔业和食品部、卫生和社会保障部、食品和农业产业、餐饮服务商、营养教育以及个人的影响。
