People who pile on the pounds very rarely lose them again, British researchers have found. 英国研究者发现，很多人肥了几斤，但几乎没人能把这几斤肉减掉。 Just one in every 210 obese men and one in 124 obese women actually manage to achieve a healthy body weight, according to a decade-long study. 一项历时十年的研究证明，在210名超重男性中只有一人，在124名超重女性中只有1人能减到健康体重。 The findings are a stark warning of the lasting consequences of putting on weight, experts said tonight. 这项研究对人们敲响了警钟，警告人们增重会有持续性的不良影响。 The team tracked the fluctuating weight of nearly 280,000 British men and women between 2004 and 2017. The results suggest that even when someone does manage to shed weight, they are very unlikely to keep it off. 2004年-2017年，研究团队对将近28万英国男女在的体重变化进行了追踪记录。研究结果显示，即使有人成功减掉了几斤肉，他们却很难继续减下去。 A third of the patients they tracked displayed yo-yo weight cycles, losing the pounds only to put them back on again. 这些被访者中有1/3陷入了溜溜球式的体重增减循环，减掉几斤肉之后又会重新反弹。 For those people who achieved a 5 per cent weight loss, 53 per cent regained this weight within two years and 78 percent had regained the weight within five years. |
