【八阕】哥本哈根预防医学研究所的科学家发现，臀部越大的妇女，越不容易生病，特别是患糖尿病、心肌梗塞或其他心血管疾病的可能性越小，而且寿命还越长。他们说，女性臀围小于40英寸，或者她们服装尺寸小于欧洲规格14号，容易患以上疾病。这些研究人员说，臀部脂肪能产生一种自然生成的激素，为身体提供保护。
臀部瘦小"有害"
丹麦研究人员说，这种激素被称为脂联素（Adiponectin），可以防止动脉增厚梗阻。他们在1987至1988年期间对年龄从35到65岁的3000名男女进行调查。
研究人员还对丹麦医疗系统1998年之前登记的患者数据进行了研究。他们主要统计心脏病患者以及其中有多少人在2001年之前死亡。
他们通过对妇女臀围对比研究发现，臀围最大的妇女的死亡率降低87%。臀围较大的妇女的冠心病风险减少86%，出现心脏病的风险减少46%。过去的研究也发现，臀围较小的男女容易患糖尿病，高血压和胆囊疾病。
参加这次调查的研究人员劳伦?利斯纳指出，现在看来，对于妇女来说，测量她们的臀围比测量腰围具有更重要的意义。

Curvier women 'will live longer'
Curvy women are more likely to live longer than their slimmer counterparts, researchers have found.
Institute of Preventative Medicine in Copenhagen researchers found those with wider hips also appeared to be protected against heart conditions.
Women with a hip measurement smaller than 40 inches, or a size 14 would not have this protection, they said.
The researchers say hip fat contains a beneficial natural anti-inflammatory.
Narrow hips 'detrimental'
They said this anti-inflammatory, called adiponectin, prevents arteries swelling up and becoming blocked.
Fat on hips is different than fat on the abdomen
Dr Berit Heitmann, Institute of Preventative Medicine
The hourglass figure has been made famous by women ranging from Marilyn Monroe and Sophia Loren to Kelly Brook and Catherine Zeta Jones today.
The Danish researchers examined almost 3,000 men and women aged between 35 and 65 from 1987 to 1988
They measured height, weight and body mass index - calculated by dividing weight in kilograms by the square of your height in metres.
They then looked at Danish health registers up until the end of 1998 to look at how many of the men and women had cardiovascular problems, and up to 2001 to see how many had died.
Compared to the group of women with the smallest hip circumferences, women with the biggest were found to have an 87% reduction in deaths.
They also had an 86% reduced risk of having coronary heart disease and a 46% reduction in the risk of developing cardiovascular disease, according to the researchers.
Previous studies have found both men and women with small hips are at an increased risk of developing diabetes, high blood pressure and gall bladder disease.
However the study, which has been published in Obesity Research, found a wider hip circumference was not linked with better heart health in men.
'Apple-shape' risk
Professor Berit Heitmann, who led the study, said: "It seems that the protection is not a matter of wide hips, it's the detrimental effect of narrow hips with a lack of muscle fat, or bone or a combination of both.
She added: "Fat on hips is different than fat on the abdomen. If you do not have enough of this fat you may risk heart attacks."
Carrying excess fat around the stomach, being 'apple shaped', is already known to be potentially damaging to health.
Fat cells in this part of the body pump out chemicals that can damage the insulin system, raising the risk of diabetes and heart disease.
Belinda Linden, of the British Heart Foundation said: "It has been widely reported that if you are apple-shaped, your risk of developing cardiovascular disease is likely to be greater than if you are pear-shaped.
"This study provides additional evidence of the association between hip circumference and cardiovascular protection among women."
But she added: "It is important to consider both your body weight and shape in tandem. Controlling both by eating less and being more active is the best way to reduce your risk of heart and circulatory disease."
家园 哪本期刊上的啊 天，这个研究结果真够惊人的。
１４号的衣服是什么概念？那真是臀如水桶啊。本人中等身材，只能穿四号裤子。
