伦敦（路通社）：芬兰研究人员上周五说，他们发现运动可以帮助那些水桶腰的人群降低罹患2型糖尿病的风险。2型糖尿病是由于体内胰岛素产生减少和功能下降所引发的疾病，是糖尿病最常见的一型。该病与体重超重以及过度肥胖都有关系。
赫尔辛基国家公共卫生研究院的研究人员发现水桶腰的人群中，经常运动的人群与那些运动较少的人群相比，其罹患2型糖尿病的风险较低。研究主管Katja Borodulin说，肥胖人群较易罹患葡萄糖耐受性下降和2型糖尿病。葡萄糖耐受性下降是葡萄糖在体内不能有效处理的早期迹象。但是，如果运动量足够的话，他们罹患该病的风险会明显降低。在接受采访时Katja Borodulin说，我们研究的新颖方面在于我们采纳了评价腹部肥胖的腰－臀比例为标准而不是以前研究采纳的体重指数(BMI)为标准。
目前世界上共有约194000000糖尿病病人，并且专家认为到2025年这个数字有可能上升到333000000。该病也增加了罹患以下疾病的风险：心脏病、休克、使命、肾功能损害和神经功能失调（该病可能发展到下肢溃疡和截肢）。代谢综合症包括大腰围、高血压、高胰岛素水平、体重超重、高血脂等症状。如果有人有以上症状等于或大于三种，那么可以诊断该人患了代谢综合症，并且其罹患心脏病、休克以及糖尿病的风险都会增加。
Borodulin和其同事运动对共计1812例正常人和肥胖人群的影响。他们发现有大水桶腰且不常活动人群罹患糖尿病的风险比那些腰部较小且常活动的人群要高出5.5倍。该项研究结果发表在糖尿病医学杂志上。他们说每次30分钟每周5次的训练可以帮助大水桶腰人群降低4.2倍罹患糖尿病的风险。
英国糖尿病慈善会的Simon O'Neill在发布会上说研究表明，不管一个人腰围如何，运动都会减少罹患糖尿病可能。对女性而言，腰围最好要小于31.3英寸，而白人和黑人男性腰围要小于37英寸，亚裔男性则要小于35。这个目标通过饮食与运动结合可以实现。
Exercise cuts diabetes risk in people with big waists

LONDON (Reuters) - Exercise can help people with large waistlines reduce their risk of developing type 2 diabetes, Finnish researchers said on Friday.
Type 2 diabetes, the more common form of the illness caused by an inability to make or properly use insulin, is linked to being overweight or obese.
But scientists from the National Public Health Institute in Helsinki found that people with large waistlines who exercise were less likely to suffer from type 2 diabetes than their less active counterparts.
"People who were obese were more likely to be diagnosed with glucose intolerance and type 2 diabetes but if they were physically active their risk was significantly lower," said Katja Borodulin, who headed the study.
Glucose intolerance is an early indication that glucose is not being processed efficiently in the body.
"The novelty value of our study is that we used waist-to-hip ratio which is a measure of abdominal obesity and not body mass index (BMI), which was used in previous studies," she added in an interview.
Diabetes affects about 194 million people worldwide. Experts say the number could rise to 333 million by 2025. The illness also increases the risk of heart disease, stroke, blindness, kidney damage and nerve disorders that can lead to foot ulceration and amputations.
Borodulin and her team studied the impact of exercise on 1,812 normal and overweight people in the study published in the journal Diabetic Medicine. They found that physically inactive people with large waistlines had a 5.5 times greater risk of suffering from diabetes than active people with small waists.
They added that 30 minutes of exercise five times a week could help people with large waists lower their odds of suffering the illness by 4.2 times.
A large waistline, high blood pressure, raised insulin levels, excess body weight and abnormal cholesterol levels are a cluster of signs of metabolic syndrome. If someone has three or more symptoms they have the syndrome and are at a higher risk of suffering from heart disease and stroke as well as diabetes.
Simon O'Neill, of the charity Diabetes UK, said the research showed that exercise reduces the risk of developing diabetes regardless of a person's waist size.
"Your waist should measure less than 31.5 inches for women, 37 inches for white and black men, and 35 inches for South Asian men. This can be achieved through a healthy diet, alongside regular physical activity," he said in a statement. 代谢综合症——代谢综合征
