牛津大學研究人員發現,女性身材是“蘋果型”還是“梨子型”是由她們體內的遺傳因素決定。
Whether a woman is an "apple" or a "pear" is determined by a range of genetic factors, found researchers at Oxford University and the Medical Research Council(MRC) Epidemiology Unit in Cambridge.
牛津大學和劍橋醫學研究委員會(MRC)流行病學小組研究人員發現,女性身材是“蘋果型”還是“梨子型”是由她們體內的遺傳因素決定。
The researchers made their findings after studying the DNA of almost 250,000 people.
研究人員對近25萬人的DNA進行研究,然后得出研究結果。
