荷兰马斯特里赫特大学的研究人员想要找出西方国家预期寿命增长近几十年来进入停滞期的原因。美国当前的人口预期寿命停留在78.6岁。目前的研究显示,普遍肥胖和缺乏运动可能是其中的两个原因。

Most past studies into longevity featured only men, or a combination of men and women. This work, therefore, offers a new perspective by looking into how BMI (an individual’s weight divided by height squared) and exercise levels might affect the lifespan of men and women separately. Women tend to live longer than men due to factors including differing lifestyles on average, as well as genetics and hormones, the authors wrote.
过去大多数对寿命的研究主要针对男性,或者将男性和女性两个群体一起研究。然而,这项研究通过分析身高体重指数(BMI,体重除以身高的平方)和运动水平分别对男性和女性的寿命产生何种影响,提供了一个新的视角。研究报告称,由于生活方式的普遍差异、基因及荷尔蒙等原因,女性的寿命往往比男性长。

To investigate, the team used data from the Netherlands Cohort study, which was started in 1986, and collected information on over 120,000 men and women aged between 55 to 69 years old living in 204 Dutch municipalities.
