想在晚上大快朵颐，然后做一名称职的沙发土豆的你，先来看看下面这项研究。荷兰一所大学的研究显示，人的身形，包括身高和体重，以及每天锻炼的时长，都与寿命有关。 A woman’s height and weight appear to play a greater part in her chance of enjoying a long life than a man’s, according to a study investigating a person's likelihood of reaching the age of 90. 一项有关人活到90岁概率的调查研究显示，相较于男性，女性的身高和体重似乎在长寿方面发挥了更大的作用。 Women who are taller than average, standing at 5ft 9 inches or above, were 31 percent more likely to enter their ninth decade compared with those standing at 5ft 3 inches or less, the study published in the Journal of Epidemiology & Community Health suggested. The same result wasn’t found in men. 一项新的研究显示，身高高于平均水平（即身高在175厘米以上）的女性活到90岁的概率比身高在160厘米以下的女性高31%。同样的结果在男性身上没有发现。研究结果发表在《流行病学和社区卫生》期刊上。 The researchers at Maastricht University wanted to answer why the spike in life expectancies in Western countries has plateaued in recent decades. In the US, that figure currently stands at 78.6. Existing work indicates the obesity epidemic could be one culprit, as well as low levels of exercise. |
