Increase Cancer Risk

提高患癌幾率

A small (but growing) body of research suggests that short and poor sleep can up risk for certain types of cancer. A 2010 study found that among 1,240 people screened for colorectal cancer, the 338 who were diagnosed were more likely to average fewer than six hours of sleep a night.

目前已有少量的研究機(jī)構(gòu)提出假設(shè)，即睡得少、睡眠質(zhì)量低都會(huì)提高罹患某種癌癥的幾率；有關(guān)這方面的研究正在日益壯大。一項(xiàng)2010年的研究表示，在1240位接受結(jié)直腸癌檢查的人群中，338位確診患癌的人士的平均睡眠時(shí)間少于6小時(shí)。

Even after controlling for more traditional risk factors, polyps were more common in people who slept less, according to the study.

即使是在排除了一些常見危險(xiǎn)因素以后，得出的結(jié)論依然是：睡得較少的人，罹患結(jié)直腸息肉的幾率更高。

Getting just six hours of sleep a night has also been linked to an increase of recurrence in breast cancer patients. The study's author has pointed to more and better sleep as a possible pathway of reducing risk and recurrence.

每天只睡6小時(shí)同時(shí)也易導(dǎo)致乳腺癌復(fù)發(fā)。該研究項(xiàng)目的負(fù)責(zé)人認(rèn)為，高質(zhì)量的足夠睡眠是一種可能有助于降低患癌幾率和復(fù)發(fā)幾率的方式。
