Being overweight can cause depression even when no other health problems exist, according to a study released last Tuesday by the University of Exeter. 英国埃克塞特大学上周二发布的一项研究显示，即使在没有其他健康问题的情况下，超重也会导致抑郁。 A team led by researchers from the University of Exeter and the University of South Australia, analyzed UK Biobank data from more than 48,000 people with depression and compared them to another group of more than 290,000 people. 由埃克塞特大学和南澳大利亚大学组成的联合研究团队，分析了英国生物医学库中超过4.8万名抑郁症患者，并与另外一组超过29万名抑郁症患者进行了对比。 While it has long been known that depression is more common in obesity, the team concluded that higher body mass index (BMI) can cause depression in itself, even in the absence of other health problems. 尽管此前有研究发现，肥胖人群更容易抑郁，但该研究团队发现，如果身体质量指数（BMI）较高，不管有没有因为肥胖引起其他健康问题，都更容易导致抑郁。 |
