| A new study has found that fitness, not body weight, is a more important predictor of whether people with clogged blood vessels in their heart will die in the relatively near term, Reuter reported. |
據(jù)路透社報(bào)道，一項(xiàng)新研究發(fā)現(xiàn)，健康指數(shù)比肥胖與否更能預(yù)示心臟有血管堵塞的人是否會(huì)在相對(duì)較短時(shí)期內(nèi)死亡。 |
| The result, published in the American Heart Journal, shows that being overweight, or even obese, but having a heart that can tolerate heavy exercise was significantly better than being lean but unfit. |
刊登在《美國(guó)心臟雜志》上的研究結(jié)果顯示，有的人盡管超重甚至肥胖，但他的心臟能承受劇烈運(yùn)動(dòng)，顯然比一個(gè)較瘦但不健康的人要強(qiáng)。 |
| Eric Ravussin, an obesity expert at the Pennington Biomedical Research Center, explained that the obese have more energy reserves to help them weather serious illnesses compared to thin people. |
潘寧頓生物醫(yī)學(xué)研究中心的肥胖專家愛(ài)瑞克·拉弗森解釋道，肥胖者比消瘦者擁有更多的能量?jī)?chǔ)備，因此更容易戰(zhàn)勝病魔。 |
| Also, studies have shown they appear to be better able to suppress inflammation linked to heart and vessel damage. |
此外，研究顯示，肥胖者能更好地抑制心臟和血管損傷引發(fā)的炎癥。 |

The overall lesson for patients is clear: improve your physical fitness rather than just considering weight.

總之，對(duì)于病人來(lái)說(shuō)有一點(diǎn)是明確的，那就是提高身體素質(zhì)比單純?cè)诤躞w重更重要。 |
