研究稱女性腰圍太粗將增加患乳癌風險
Host: A surprising new study that concludes that women’s development of breast cancer after menopause may be tied to the changes of waist size. As a gymnast here, please explain.
一項令人驚訝的研究得出結論，女性絕經后乳腺癌的發生可能與腰圍的變化有關。一位體操教師來到我們的節目，請為大家解釋一下。
Guest: Well, this is the actual study, you guys, very dense statistics. Epidemiology in there. But basically, this really looks at the issues: weight, weight gain, body mass index and that central adiposity is we refer to as, which is the fact of our main section, and how they are all associated with our breast cancer. And the bad news, which was actually kind of surprising, is that for each size’s increase, so you go from size 10 to size 12, in a woman’s skirt or pants’ size, in her 20s, 30s or 40s, her risk of post menopause breast cancer goes up by 33 percent.
是的，這是一項真實的研究，是經過縝密的統計數據分析得出的結論，是從流行病學的角度進行分析的。但是從根本上來說，應該是這樣的問題：體重，身體質量指數和身體腰部脂肪過多，與乳腺癌之間有著什么樣的關系呢？壞消息是，非常令人驚訝，20歲，30歲或40歲的時候，腰圍每增加一個尺碼，從10碼增加到12碼，也就是女士裙子或褲子的尺寸，絕經后患乳腺癌的風險增加33%。
Host: But is it natural for your waist to get bigger over time?
但是隨著年齡的增長，腰圍逐漸增加不是自然的嗎？
Guest: Well, I am second minded. I mean, It is, and of course we see it over time, but this is really what is interesting about it, is thought to be used as a proxy or an easy-to-understand way that we can kind of track what our risk factor for breast cancer may be.
我有不同意見。我的意思是，隨著年齡的增長，要為會逐漸增加，但是這也就是其中有趣的地方，也是我們用來追蹤導致乳腺癌的風險因素的容易理解的方法。
Another guest: So what is the thinking behind this possible connection?
那么，兩者之間可能存在的聯系是什么理論呢？
Guest: The theory, because again it didn’t show cause and effect, is that weight, the fat, that concentrated in our middle section,sometimes we refer to it as waist fat, is more dangerous and hormonally active and actually produce estrogen and trigger our breast cancer.So… watch your weight, watch your alcohol, exercise more and if your waist size is increasing, possibly you need different types of slimming. But we are not very young. Er, suck it up. Suck it up.
其中的理論，再次說明一下，并不是因果關系，體重，集中在腰部的脂肪，我們有時稱其為腰部脂肪，更加危險，其中的荷爾蒙非常活躍，會產生雌激素，觸發乳腺癌。所以，一定要注意體重，限制酒精攝入量，多鍛煉。如果腰圍增加，或許需要不同的減肥瘦身方法。但是我們已經不年輕了，盡量吸氣。
