俄亥俄州、密西西比州和西弗吉尼亚州面临严重的糖尿病和肥胖症危机,原因是粮食荒漠,获得健康食品的机会有限,需要系统的政策变革。 Ohio, Mississippi, and West Virginia face severe diabetes and obesity crises due to food deserts and limited access to healthy food, demanding systemic policy changes.

全国糖尿病意识月显示,俄亥俄州、密西西比州和西弗吉尼亚州持续存在健康挑战,肥胖症、糖尿病发病率高,获得健康食品的机会有限。 National Diabetes Awareness Month reveals persistent health challenges in states like Ohio, Mississippi, and West Virginia, with high rates of obesity, diabetes, and limited access to healthy food. 俄亥俄州在多种健康指标方面排名不高,包括缺乏运动以及水果和蔬菜摄入量低,而粮食荒漠和依赖低营养的SNAP福利又加剧了这种情况。 Ohio ranks poorly in multiple health metrics, including physical inactivity and low fruit and vegetable intake, exacerbated by food deserts and reliance on low-nutrient SNAP benefits. 专家们强调,要可持续地改善健康,就必须更好地获得负担得起的营养食品,加强公共教育,而不仅仅是锻炼,并呼吁采取长期政策解决办法,消除系统性障碍。 Experts stress that sustainable health improvements require better access to affordable nutritious food and stronger public education, not just exercise, calling for long-term policy solutions to address systemic barriers.
