早在2011年，英国的一项研究就发现，习惯用肥皂或洗手液洗手的人，比那

As early as 2011, a study in the United Kingdom found that people who are used to washing hands with soap or hand sanitizer are more likely to suffer from various infectious diseases than those who often wipe their hands with sterile paper towels or use disinfectant sprays instead of washing their hands. More than 60% lower, these infectious diseases are mainly respiratory diseases and digestive diseases. <br><br>The World Health Organization also pointed out that about 3.5 million children worldwide cannot live to 5 years old due to pneumonia or diarrhea. If they can help them wash their hands with soap or hand sanitizer, the number of children who die from respiratory diseases worldwide will drop by 25%; Children with tract infections will fall by 50%. This shows that cultivating good hand-washing habits may save thousands of lives. <br><br>However, not only children, but also adults, there are not many people who can master the correct method of washing hands. Many people have developed the habit of replacing their hands with wet paper towels or disinfecting sprays because of their own habits or occasions, but these are not good habits for keeping hands clean. <br><br>Cultivating good hand-washing habits is an effective way to prevent hand-borne diseases.

早在2011年，英国的一项研究就发现，习惯用肥皂或洗手液洗手的人，比那些经常用消毒纸巾擦手或用消毒喷剂替代洗手的人，罹患各种感染性疾病的风险要低60％以上，这些感染性疾病主要为呼吸道疾病和消化道疾病。<br><br>世界卫生组织也指出，全球约有350万名儿童因肺炎或腹泻无法活到5岁，如果能够帮助他们用肥皂或洗手液洗手，全球因为呼吸疾病死亡的儿童会下降25％；而死于消化道感染的儿童会下降50％。由此可见，养成良好的洗手习惯，可能挽救成千上万人的生命。<br><br>不过，不仅是孩子，就是在成年人当中，能够掌握正确洗手方法的人也不多。还有不少人，因为自己习惯的原因或场合等问题，养成了以擦湿纸巾代替洗手，或用消毒喷剂代替洗手的习惯，但这些都不是保持手部清洁的好习惯。<br><br>养成良好的洗手习惯，是预防经手传播疾病的有效方法。
