The researchers found that the users who recorded their weight and engaged with other members were more likely to achieve their goals of shedding pounds. The most active users lost more than 8 percent of their body weight in a six month period. The least active users, those with the fewest online friends and social interactions, lost around 5 percent of their body weight in the same span of time. The researchers theorize that engagement plays a key role in weight loss because it offers an always-accessible network of support.
研究人员发现,那些记录体重、与其它成员互动的用户完成减轻体重目标的可能性更大。最活跃的用户在6个月内减轻的重量大于自身重量的8%。最不活跃的、只有很少网络朋友和社交互动的用户在同样的时间内减轻的重量大约只有自身重量的5%。研究人员推论,参与在减肥中起着关键性的作用,因为它提供了一个永远开放的网络支持.
They're also looking ahead: The positive results point to plausible uses for social networks in other areas of health. Online communities might be successful alternatives for ailments like depression and alcoholism, for which in-person meetings are often suggested. "Modern life is so complex and stressful, to go somewhere for a meeting is often not practical," Luís A. Nunes Amaral, senior author of the study, said in a statement. "It is hopeful that this alternative approach, of going online for support, could work."
