Doctor Support Makes Weight Loss Easier
醫(yī)生居然是減肥者的福音？
According to a new two-year study, people who are working to lose weight are more successful when they have the support of their healthcare provider.
一份為期兩年的研究顯示：如果根據(jù)醫(yī)師的指導(dǎo)或建議減肥，其成功的概率較大。
Researchers said physician-guided weight loss programs are almost never reimbursed by either Medicare or private insurance,
研究人員稱：雖然這項“醫(yī)生指導(dǎo)減肥”的計劃對肥胖者的健康有極大的幫助，
despite the health benefits to obese people losing weight.
但是這項計劃的費用不可以通過醫(yī)療保險或私人健保進(jìn)行償付。
Researchers reviewed data and surveys from 347 people who participated in the Practice-based Opportunities for Weight Reduction, or POWER,
參與這項為期兩年“減肥實踐”計劃的志愿者共347位，
two-year trial to measure the benefits of working with a coach or being guided by a physician while maintaining a weight loss program.
研究人員將他們以“聘請私人教練”、“接受醫(yī)師指導(dǎo)”的名義分為兩組并對其減肥后的成果進(jìn)行對比。
Researchers reported that participants who gave their physicians the highest ratings for the helpfulness lost an average of 111 pounds.
在臨床試驗中，給醫(yī)生幫助評分較高的患者在臨床試驗期間平均減肥111磅，
Those who rated their doctors the lowest lost an average of 5 pounds during the two years.
而給醫(yī)生幫助評分較低患者平均減肥只有5磅。
