不知从何时起，在国外悄然兴起了一阵“爸爸肚”风，女人们不追求那些身材火爆的美少男，反而青睐那些大腹便便的中年男子。新研究发现，年长体胖的男性不但更讨女人喜欢，而且寿命更长，生育能力也更强。

Pudgy older fathers live longer, are more attractive to the opposite sex and are better at passing on their genes than their leaner counterparts, scientists have claimed.

科学家表示，年长体胖的男性比偏瘦的男同胞更长寿，更吸引异性，生育能力也更强。

Becoming fatter after fatherhood due to decreasing testosterone levels may not fit the “macho” ideal, but it actually prolongs lives and strengthens immune systems, according to Richard Bribiescas, professor of anthropology and deputy provost at Yale University.

男性做了父亲以后，会因睾酮水平下降而体态发胖。老来发胖也许看起来不够爷们儿，但它的确能延长寿命、增强免疫系统，耶鲁大学副教务长兼人类学博士理查德•布比斯卡斯如是说。

There is evidence that these men are less likely to suffer from heart attacks and prostate cancer, while a study in 2008 found that men with high metabolisms were around 50 per cent more likely to die in a given year than those whose bodies burned up less energy at rest.

有证据表明，这些身材走样的男性突发心脏病、患上前列腺癌的可能性更小。而2008年一项研究发现，在指定年度内，新陈代谢旺盛的男性比新陈代谢慢的男性死亡率高出约50%。
