圖片來(lái)源：視覺(jué)中國(guó)

Keeping a lot of light on while you snooze — such as from a television or bright nightlight — has been linked with an increased risk of weight gain and obesity.

睡覺(jué)時(shí)開(kāi)著大量的燈——比如看電視或開(kāi)著明亮的夜燈——會(huì)增加體重增加和肥胖的風(fēng)險(xiǎn)。

Specifically, sleeping with a television or light on in the room was positively associated with gaining five kilograms, or 11 pounds, over a five-year period among women in a new study published in the medical journal JAMA Internal Medicine on Monday.

周一，醫(yī)學(xué)雜志《美國(guó)醫(yī)學(xué)會(huì)內(nèi)科雜志》(JAMA Internal Medicine)上發(fā)表的一項(xiàng)新研究表明，在5年的時(shí)間里，在房間里看電視或開(kāi)燈睡覺(jué)與女性增重5公斤(合11磅)呈正相關(guān)。

“There was a 17% chance of gaining the five kilograms — after we adjusted for confounding factors,” said Dale Sandler, a senior investigator at the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences in North Carolina and senior author of the study.

北卡羅萊納國(guó)家環(huán)境健康科學(xué)研究所的高級(jí)研究員、該研究的資深作者戴爾·桑德勒說(shuō):“在我們對(duì)混雜因素進(jìn)行調(diào)整后，增加5公斤體重的幾率為17%。”

In addition, there was a 22% chance of becoming?overweight?and a 33% chance of becoming obese, she added.

她補(bǔ)充：“此外，有22%的幾率超重，有33%的幾率會(huì)肥胖?！?/div>

Obesity means having too much body fat and overweight means weighing too much, according to the US National Library of Medicine. Both overweight and obesity are based on your body mass index but “obese” generally means having a much higher BMI.

美國(guó)國(guó)家醫(yī)學(xué)圖書(shū)館稱，肥胖意味著身體脂肪過(guò)多，超重意味著體重過(guò)重。超重和肥胖都是基于你的體重指數(shù)，但“肥胖”通常意味著有一個(gè)更高的BMI。

“We are in the middle of an obesity epidemic in the United States and the things that we usually think about for obesity prevention are hard for people to do — eat a better diet, get more exercise — and we don’t seem to be making a dent,” Sandler said. “If these study findings are true and if they can be replicated then it’s a very easy public health message to turn off the lights when you’re sleeping.”

桑德勒說(shuō):“我們正處在美國(guó)肥胖流行的風(fēng)口上，而我們通常認(rèn)為的預(yù)防肥胖的措施對(duì)人們來(lái)說(shuō)很難做到——吃更好的飲食，多做運(yùn)動(dòng)——而我們似乎并沒(méi)有取得任何進(jìn)展?！薄叭绻@些研究結(jié)果是正確的，如果它們可以被復(fù)制，那么在你睡覺(jué)的時(shí)候關(guān)燈是一個(gè)非常簡(jiǎn)單的公共健康信息?！?/div>
