1、素食主义者Vegans have substantially lower death rates than meat-eaters, a major study has found. The study has been published in the JAMA Internal Medicine Journal and reignites debate around increasingly popular vegan diets over their impact of proponents health.一项重大研究发现：素食者比肉食者的死亡率低很多。该研究结果已刊登在了美国医学协会国
2、际医药杂志上，这也引起了人们的争论：争论越来越流行的素食饮食对支持者健康的看法。The research was undertaken by scientists at Massachusetts General Hospital, who monitored health and diet records of more than 130,000 people over the course of thirty years. They found every three per cent increase in calories from plant protein was found to
3、 reduce risk of death by 10 per cent. The figure rises to 12 per cent for risk of dying from heart disease.马萨诸塞州综合医院的科学家进行了该项研究，他们的研究过程长达 30 年，在此期间监控了超过 13 万人的健康饮食记录。他们发现每从植物蛋白中摄入 3%的卡路里，就能将死亡率减少 10%，而且能降低因患有心脏病而死的几率，降低 12%。By contrast, raising the share of animal protein in ones diet by 10 per cent
4、 led to a two per cent higher risk of death from all causes. This increased to an eight per cent higher chance of dying from heart disease.相比之下，如果多摄入 10%的动物蛋白就会增加死亡率，增加 2%。而因心脏病而死的几率会增加 8%。Substituting eggs for plant protein led to a 19 per cent reduction in death risk and eliminating unprocessed re
5、d meat saw a drop of 12 per cent.如果吃鸡蛋代替植物蛋白，死亡率会减少 19%，而不吃未加工过的红肉则会减少 12%。As would be expected, the risk was found to be most pronounced among people who also engaged in other unhealthy activities, including having a history of smoking, drinking heavily or being obese.不出所料，还有其它不健康活动的那些人死亡率最高，这些活动包括
6、：抽过烟、酗酒或肥胖。However, caution should be exercised when interpreting the results, as other more complex social and environment factors could affect the results rather than being solely related to diet. For instance, vegans are more likely to be younger than the general population and therefore have muc
7、h lower mortality rates. Similarly, vegans can be more likely to come from socially affluent backgrounds, which can also influence mortality risk.然而，在解读结果的过程中还是应当注意，因为其它的社会和环境因素可能也会影响结果，而不单单只是因为饮食。例如，素食者往往都比普通大众更年轻，因此死亡率本身就更低。同样的，素食者往往都比较富裕，这同样也会影响死亡率。研究发现素食主义者比吃肉或鸡蛋的人活得更久.jpgLead scientist Dr Mingy
8、ang Song said: Overall, our findings support the importance of the sources of dietary protein for long-term health outcomes. While previous studies have primarily focused on the overall amount of protein intake - which is important - from a broad dietary perspective, the particular foods people cons
9、ume to get protein are equally important.首席科学家宋明阳（Mingyang Song）博士说道：“总的来说，我们的研究结果表明饮食蛋白质的来源对于长期的健康结果十分重要。虽然早前的研究主要是关注蛋白质摄入的总量-这也是很重要的- 从一个广泛的饮食观点来看，研究人们为了获得蛋白质而摄入的特定食物也一样重要。“Our findings suggest people should consider eating more plant proteins than animal proteins, and when they do choose among so
10、urces of animal protein, fish and chicken are probably better choices.“我们的研究结果表明人们应该摄入更多的植物蛋白质而非动物蛋白质，当我们选择动物蛋白质来源时，鱼和鸡肉可能是更好的选择。“避孕与抑郁症相联系A research team in Denmark has finally confirmed a suspicion that many birth control pill users have had for years-there appears to be a significant correlation
11、between hormonal birth control use and depression.丹麦的一个研究团队终于确认了很多吃避孕药的人多年来都有的猜忌-避孕与抑郁症之间有着很大的关联。The study, published in the Journal of the American Medical Association, looked at one million women in Denmark over 14 years and found that women using oral contraception were 23 percent more likely to
12、be prescribed antidepressants. Thats no small number.该研究刊登在美国医学协会杂志上，该项研究进行了 14 年，观察了 100 万名丹麦女性，发现服用口服避孕药的女性更有可能被描述为抗抑郁药者，可能性为 23%，这可不是小数字。This percentage was even higher for women between the ages of 15 and 19. Third generation or progesterone-only pills, such as Yasmin, also had a higher correlat

She also emphasizes the valuable role birth control plays in many womens lives, and that for most, the benefits far outweigh the risks. It should be noted that those benefits include avoiding pregnancy-r
15、elated depression.珍妮弗康迪是斯坦福大学妇产科学教授，在我们惊慌前，她警告道，这样的一个关联研究“ 提出了问题，但却没有回答问题。“ 在人们声称避孕药真会导致抑郁症之前，还需要大量的研究加以证明。她还强调避孕对于很多女性来说十分重要，好处是远高于风险的。还应该注意，这些益处包括避免与怀孕相关的抑郁症。While critics have raised valid concerns, many women have been expressing their happiness for these findings on social media.虽然有些评论家提出了一些担心，
16、但很多女性在社交媒体上都对这些研究结果表示高兴。The lead author of the study, ?jvind Lidegaard, tells KQED, “Women should know that if they develop depression after starting hormone contraception use, it could due to that use.“ He reiterates that women who have had a recent or current bout of depression should perhaps cons
17、ider alternatives to hormone contraception because it may worsen that depression.该研究的首席作者?jvind Lidegaard 在接受美国 KQED 广播电台采访时说道：“ 女性在使用激素避孕后，如果发现自己得了抑郁症应该是会察觉得到的：可能是因为使用了那个。“他重申近期或刚刚发作抑郁症的女性应该考虑替换激素避孕，因为继续使用会加重病情。研究将避孕与抑郁症相联系：揭示了一些我们不知道的事情.jpgThe upside of this finding is that women who are taking ho
18、rmonal birth control and dealing with depression may be able to improve their mental state by discontinuing use of said contraception. It also means that women and doctors can make a better informed decision about what type of birth control is right for them.该研究也有好的一面，那就是使用激素避孕并且与抑郁症抗争的女性可能可以通过不再使用上
19、述避孕方法来改善自己的精神状态。这也就是说对于哪种避孕方法最适合这个问题，女性和医生可以做出更好的知情决定。But for many women there arent other great alternatives to hormonal birth control and for them, these findings are depressing in and of themselves. It is their hope, and mine, that we can find non-hormonal forms of birth control that work as well
20、.但对于很多女性来说，没有什么比激素避孕更好的避孕方法了，对于她们来说，这些研究结果十分令人抑郁。我们都希望能够找到同样有效的非激素避孕法。儿童数字医疗技术的未来Kids now grow up using mobile technologies, so digital health is not shying away from reaching out to the younger generation.
