And in one of our studies for example
例如在我們的一項研究中
we showed that 10-year-old black boys
我們發現10歲的黑人男孩
were 5 times more likely to go to bed after 11 p.m.
晚上11點以后睡覺的比例
than white girl10-year-old white girls
是10歲白人女孩的5倍
Now we heard about some of the links
我們在之前的報告中聽過這樣的說法
between short sleep and obesity in earlier talks
即短期睡眠和肥胖癥之間存在聯系
but again, I'd like to emphasize
但我現在還要強調
that this data is very very consistent in childhood
這一數據也是用于兒童
In fact, if you compare the meta-analysis
實際上 如果你將成人的元分析數據
that is done in the adult populations versus children
和孩子的元分析數據進行比較
in general there are stronger and more consistent associations
一般來說 兒童群體中
in pediatric populations
睡眠和肥胖的聯系顯得更緊密和一致
such that overall, the overall odds is almost 2 fold of
比如我使用了很多項不同研究的數據
I'm using a variety of studies, of a child being obese
孩子如果沒有得到充分的睡眠
based on them getting insufficient amounts of sleep
那么他們患肥胖癥的幾率(是正常孩子的)2倍
And that's usually defined in the age specific threshold
這個結論以每個年齡段
of how much sleep someone needs
所需要的最低睡眠時間為研究依據
Now, I'd like to review a few articles
接下來 我想回顧一下幾篇論文
that really hammer in that point a bit more
這些論文都對這個問題進行了研究
These are some of my favorites for different reasons
我推崇這幾篇文章是出于不同的考慮
Here is this one study from the United Kingdom
首先是英國開展的一項研究
of almost 8000 children
該研究對近8000名兒童進行了研究
who were followed, really they were enrolled in pregnancy
跟蹤調查可以追溯到他們還在母親肚子里的時候
and followed through age 7
一直到他們7歲時為止
when there was actually an overall prevalence of obesity
7歲時兒童肥胖的比例達到最高
lower than we see of 8.5%
低于我們看到的8.5%
These are the typical risk factors
這里列出了一些典型的風險因素
that I think many of you are familiar with for obesity
我覺得你們對這些造成肥胖的因素都很熟悉
Birth weight, maternal smoking
出生時體重 母親妊娠期吸煙
parental obesity, a very strong again genetic risk factor
父母肥胖 這是一個非常重要的遺傳因素
TV watching, that sedentary behavior
看電視 也就是一種靜態活動
