Focusing not on the link to obesity
不光關注和肥胖癥之間的關系
But the inner relationship between sleep, stress and adiposity
還要關注睡眠 壓力和肥胖癥之間的內在聯系
In predicting biological processes
如何誘發了一系列生物過程
Relevant to obesity-related disease
最終導致與肥胖相關的疾病的產生
And I do a lot of work on the immune system And I will be focusing on inflammation
我對免疫系統開展了大量的研究我還關注炎癥
We will get to that in a second
我們會在后面的報告中關注這個問題
And then, the implications of this work
然后介紹一下這項研究工作的意義
And work moving forward
以及今后還有哪些工作
So first, is there a link between stress and obesity?
首先 壓力和肥胖之間有聯系嗎?
In our lives
在我們的生活當中
We kind of intuitively know this to be true
我們直覺感受是兩者之間是存在聯系的
We know what it feels like to undergo
我們都知道長期和短期處于壓力之中
A chronic stressor and acute stressor
是什么感覺
What it does to our physiology
壓力會對我們產生哪些生理影響
As far as sympathetic arousal
對我們的交感神經系統產生什么影響
And changes in our endocrine function, changes in our behaviors
如何改變我們的內分泌功能和我們的行為
And you know we do our best to cope with this
我們盡力的去應對這些變化
And one of those mechanisms is potentially by eating
其中一種應對機制可能就是進食
And particular there's a good evidence showing
有證據證明
That we eat more high-fat, high-sugar foods
我們通過吃高脂肪高糖分食物(來緩解壓力)
And this is kind of part of our fabric of our culture
而這是由我們的文化決定的
This understanding that
我們認為
There is a relationship between stress and these foods
壓力和這些食物之間是存在關系的
And it's certainly not too far beyond that to think
因此你很容易就想到
That might be leading to obesity
這種進食方式會導致肥胖
So is there in fact a link?
那么壓力和肥胖之間是不是真的有聯系呢?
I mean we believe that this is true
我是說我們感覺聯系是存在的
But what does the empirical evidence suggest?
但是是否有實證證據支持這一結論呢?
You know, putting these talks together beginning think harder about how stress is related to obesity
將這些話題放在一起努力思考壓力如何與肥胖產生了關系
I was so much shocked
讓我感到震驚的是
That kind of how small the literature is on this
對這個問題的研究是如此的少
Particularly, with respect to prospective studies
具體來說 對于前瞻性研究
Meaning that, you know, you measure stress at one time point
研究者會在某一點對壓力進行測試
And whether that predicts obesity
然后看壓力是否隨后導致了肥胖
