A Success Story for Malaria Control (2/2)

The report says this was in keeping with general improvements in health services. The full report can be found at who.int, on the page for the global malaria program.

In another new study, researchers reported that vitamin A and zinc treatments might also help protect young children from malaria. Scientists in Burkina Faso found that malaria reinfection rates fell by thirty-four percent in a group of children treated with vitamin A and zinc.

The findings appear in Nutrition Journal, an open access publication that can be read free of charge at nutritionj.com. Now, we turn from a disease that kills a million people a year to a behavior that kills more than five times that many: smoking.

A new report from the World Health Organization estimates that tobacco killed one hundred million people in the twentieth century. And it says the number this century could reach one billion.We will talk more about this major report next week, and new efforts to control tobacco.

一项来自世界卫生组织的新报告估计在20世纪，烟草导致1亿人死亡。该组织称在本世纪其数字可能达到10亿。我们在下个星期将谈到更多关于这个报告和为控制烟草而做的新努力。
