我们都知道,大肚腩的人容易得心脑血管病、脂肪肝、糖尿病,但是你大概想不到,肚子大还和脑容量有关系。研究人员发现,大腹便便的肥胖者平均脑灰质含量更低,而脑灰质和记忆力等大脑功能息息相关。
Belly fat has long been thought to be particularly bad for your heart, but now, a new study adds more evidence to the idea that it may also be bad for your brain.
长期以来,人们都认为腹部肥胖对心脏特别不好,但现在一项新研究提出的新证据表明,它可能还对你的大脑有害。
The study, from the United Kingdom, found that people who were obese and had a high waist-to-hip ratio (a measure of belly fat) had slightly lower brain volumes, on average, compared with people who were a healthy weight. Specifically, belly fat was linked with lower volumes of gray matter, the brain tissue that contains nerve cells.
英国的这项研究发现,肥胖者以及腰臀比(腹部脂肪衡量指标)高的人比起那些体重健康的人来说,平均的脑容量要稍微小一些。具体来说,腹部肥胖和脑灰质含量低有关。脑灰质是含有神经细胞的脑组织。
"Our research looked at a large group of people and found obesity, specifically around the middle, may be linked with brain shrinkage,” lead study author Mark Hamer, a professor at Loughborough University’s School of Sport, Exercise and Health Sciences in Leicestershire, England, said in a statement.
