International Circulation: Do you think it is an interesting coincidence that a vice president of the ESH is also a geneticist?
　　《国际循环》:副总裁ESH也是一个遗传学家，您认为这是不是一个有趣的巧合?
　　Prof. Arnett: It is a very fast growing and promising field. People are recognizing this and are eager to see more.
　　Arnett教授:这是一个飞速成长和充满希望的领域。人们认识到了这一点，并渴望从中获得更多的发现。
　　International Circulation: And what about lifestyles?
　　《国际循环》:那么在生活方式上呢?
　　Prof. Arnett: I am not sure we have tried hard enough to affect people’s lifestyles. People do not understand that health is a sustainable entity that needs to be taken care of throughout our life. People need and want to know how to be healthy. As we look at the work place and health care costs go up for companies there is going to be a tremendous transition to this concept of changing behaviors and the environment to make people healthy.
　　Arnett教授:我不确定我们的努力已经足以影响人们的生活方式。人们不理解，健康是一个我们整个生命中都需要关照的可持续的实体。人们需要和想要知道如何保持健康。随着我们进入工作场所，公司的卫生保健费用的上升，公司将在为了保持员工健康而改变员工行为和工作环境这个概念上发生重大的转变。
　　International Circulation: Even at conferences like the AHA， prevention is not a major issue. Most are on treatment. Do you think this should be more of a focus for the NIH or funding or research into making people live healthier lives?
　　《国际循环》:即使像是在AHA这样的会议中，预防也并不是一个主要议题。大多数都是关于如何治疗的。您认为对于美国国立卫生研究院，基金或研究机构来说，是否应该更关注于如何让人们生活得更健康?
　　Prof. Arnett: I do not know what the NIH will do， I would personally advocate for more behavioral research. The answer will be larger than just research. It will take policy changes， advocacy， and multi-sector approaches in government， business， academia， the NIH， and the AHA.
　　Arnett教授:我不知道美国国立卫生研究院将为此做些什么，我个人提倡对此进行更多的研究。我认为，结果将会比研究本身更具有价值。它将使政府、企业、学术界、美国国立卫生研究院和美国心脏协会进行策略调整，提倡多部门进行多元化合作。
　　International Circulation: Do you think doctors have a responsibility to be involved in policy?
　　《国际循环》:你觉得医生有责任参与到策略的实施当中去吗?
　　Prof. Arnett:  We at the AHA have a strong advocacy component， the You’re the Cure Network， where we encourage all of our members to volunteer and become active in advocacy.
　　Arnett教授:我们在美国有一个强有力的宣传机构，即You’re the Cure Network，我们鼓励机构中的所有成员自愿并积极地参与宣传活动。
