Thecommon assumption that a couple of glasses of wine are a boost to your heart'shealth may be wrong if you are overweight or obese, say researchers from CurtinUniversity's Public Health Advocacy Institute.
来自科廷科技大学公共健康倡导协会研究人员说，如果你超重或肥胖的话，几杯酒能促进心脏的健康这一通常的假设可能是错误的。

Writingin this month's issue of the Australia and New Zealand Journal of PublicHealth, researchers Tim Lobstein and Mike Daube acknowledge that previousstudies have shown a 'J-shaped' curve, indicating that a little alcohol mightlower your risk of heart disease while a lot will certainly raise the risk. Butthey were concerned that the original data came from surveys undertaken overforty years ago, among populations who were much slimmer than they are now.
这一研究发表在澳大利亚和新西兰公共卫生期刊本月话题，研究人员Tim Lobstein和Daube认为，以前的研究显示一个“J形”曲线，提示少量的酒精会降低你患心脏疾病的风险，而大量的酒精肯定会增加风险。但他们关注 的原始数据来自四十多年前进行的调查，那时人们要比现在更苗条。

'Wewere concerned that the findings from a previous generation may not apply toour modern, fatter population,' said lead author Dr Tim Lobstein. 'So werevisited the data in the classic Framingham Heart Study, and examined thedifferences between slimmer and fatter men to see how the J-shaped curve heldup. It held pretty well for slim men, but not for those with a higher Body MassIndex, above 27.5 kg/m2.'
主要作者蒂姆Lobstein博士说“我们担忧早一代的研究结果可能并不适用于我们 现代的情况—胖的人群”，“因此，我们重新审视经典的弗雷明汉心脏研究的数据，并考查苗条与胖人之间的差异，观察J形曲线是如何支持。它较好的适用于苗条 的人群，但不适合那些有较高的身体质量指数（27.5kg/m2以上）的人群。“

'Ineffect, the standard advice about a small amount of alcohol being good for theheart doesn't stack up for overweight men,' he said. 'We will need to checkother surveys and see if they show the same pattern, and we will need to checkthe data for women.'
他说道，“实际上，对体重超重的人来说，标准的建议关于少量的酒精对心脏益处没有累加”。“我们需要核对其他调查结果并观察它们表现出同样的模式，并且我们需要核对关于女性的数据”。

'Weknow that apart from heart disease, other causes of disease are made worse byeven small amounts of alcohol, including cancer, diabetes and stroke - themajor chronic disease killers,' he added. 'For now, the advice has to be thatthere is no such thing as a beneficial level of consumption, especially if youare overweight.'
“我们知道除了心脏疾病，即使是饮用少量的酒精，其他原因引起的疾病变得更加严重，其中包括癌症，糖尿病和中风-主要的慢性疾病杀手，”他补充说，“现在的建议是，没有一个饮酒量水平是有益的，特别是如果你体重超重的话。
