研究:肥胖也会亲戚朋友间互相传染

　　This was because "we learn about acceptable body size from family and friends" according to researchers, with friendships based on eating and engaging in little physical activity more likely to end in obesity.

　　研究人员表示原因在于“我们通过家庭和朋友来确定什么样的身材可以接受”，而朋友多吃少动，（我们也）更容易发福。

　　Despite the results researchers found that most women viewed being fat as a source of shame. Asked whether they would rather be fat or have a range of socially stigmatized conditions, a quarter of women said they'd rather suffer from severe depression than be fat, while more than one in 10 said they'd rather be totally blind than obese.

　　尽管如此，研究人员发现大部分女性仍视肥胖为耻辱。当被问及宁愿变胖还是宁愿拥有其他不利于社交的污点时，1/4的女性称自己宁愿深陷抑郁也不要肥胖，而超过1成者称自己宁愿变成瞎子也不要成为胖子。
