Chinese students showed a gradual improvement in physical fitness as 33percent were evaluated as being in good shape in 2020 compared to 26.5 percentin 2016.

as…as 在这句话中干什么成分?

能否剖析一下这句话〜

主句:Chinese students showed a gradualimprovement in physical fitness  

中国学生的身体素质逐步提升

缘由从句:as 33 percent were evaluated as being ingood shape in 2020 compared to 26.5 percent in 2016 

由于2020年有33%的学生被评为身体情况好,而2016年为26.5%。

在这个从句中,第一个 as 引导缘由状语从句。第二个as是介词,搭配是 be evaluated as(被评估为)。过去分词短语comparedto...作方法状语,意为“与......比起来”。
