New research shows that overweight or even mildly obese people have a lower risk of early death than people considered to be normal weight.
最新研究表明，超胖或輕度肥胖者比正常體重者早逝風(fēng)險(xiǎn)更低。
Researchers examined the results of 97 studies. Most of the studies were less than 10 years old. They included almost three million adults from around the world, including the United States, Canada, China, Taiwan, Brazil, India and Mexico.
研究人員檢查了97項(xiàng)研究的成果，其中大多數(shù)研究是在10年之內(nèi)完成的。研究涵蓋了來自世界各地的近300萬成年人，其中包括美國(guó)、加拿大、中國(guó)、中國(guó)臺(tái)灣、巴西、印度和墨西哥。
The researchers work at the National Center for Health Statistics, part of the United States Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

They found that people who are considered overweight or slightly obese were five to six percent less likely to die from all causes than people of normal weight. People with higher obesity ratings, however, had almost a 30 percent greater risk of death compared to normal-weight individuals.
他們發(fā)現(xiàn)，被認(rèn)為超重或輕度肥胖者因各種原因死亡的可能性要比正常體重者低5%-6%。然而與正常體重者相比，肥胖等級(jí)更高者死亡率要高出近30%。
Katherine Flegal was the lead author of the study. She says she was not surprised that overweight people would not have a higher risk of death.
凱瑟琳·弗萊戈（Katherine Flegal）是該研究的主要作者。她表示自己對(duì)超重者死亡風(fēng)險(xiǎn)不會(huì)更高并不吃驚。
"Because we'd actually already read a lot of this literature and realized it was likely that [mortality rates for] overweight would be at least not higher than normal weight. I guess I was a little bit surprised that it was definitely lower. And I was also surprised that the lower rates of obesity also didn't seem to differ from normal weight."

The study has raised new questions about "body mass index," or BMI. This is a measurement of body fat as a ratio of height to weight. BMI guidelines were used as a basis for the study. In recent years, many public health experts have promoted body mass index as a way to predict the risk of health problems. But a person's BMI can be misleading in some cases.
該研究還就體重指數(shù)（BMI）提出了新的問題。BMI指身高與體重的比率，用于衡量身體脂肪。BMI準(zhǔn)則被作為這次研究的根據(jù)。最近幾年，許多公眾健康專家都將體重指數(shù)作為預(yù)測(cè)健康風(fēng)險(xiǎn)的手段加以推廣。但個(gè)體體重指數(shù)在某些情況下也會(huì)產(chǎn)生誤導(dǎo)。
