最新研究显示 天气与疼痛其实没关系!

发布时间:2017-02-09  编辑:查字典英语网小编

People who claim they suffer aches and pains in damp weather are wrong, scientists say.

科学家们表示,人们认为在潮湿的天气里就会关节疼痛的看法是不正确的。

There is no link between the two - instead cold temperatures just makes people more aware of their discomfort, new research confirms.

最新研究证实,这两者之间没有任何关联--事实上寒冷的天气只是会让人们更加意识到身体的不适。

Almost 1,000 people with lower back pain, and around 350 with knee osteoarthritis were assessed in a study.

一项研究评估了大约1000名腰疼患者和350名膝关节炎症患者的状况。

最新研究显示 天气与疼痛其实没关系!1

Weather figures from the Australian Bureau of Meteorology were also sourced for the duration of the study period.

在研究进行期间,澳大利亚气象局的天气情况也作为数据来源进行参考。

Researchers compared the weather at the time patients first noticed pain with weather conditions one week and one month before the onset. They found no association between back pain and temperature, humidity, air pressure, wind direction or precipitation.

研究人员比对了患者首次出现疼痛那周的天气和发作前一个月的天气。他们发现,无论是气温、湿度、气压、刮风还是降雨,都与人们的腰痛没有关联。

However, higher temperatures did slightly increase the chances of lower back pain.

相反,高温倒是会轻微增加患腰痛病的机率。

Professor Chris Maher, of The George Institute, Sydney, said: 'The belief that pain and inclement weather are linked dates back to Roman times. But our research suggests this belief may be based on the fact that people recall events that confirm their pre-existing views.'

悉尼大学乔治研究院的克里斯·马厄教授表示:“早在古罗马时期,人们就认为疼痛与天气阴冷有关。但我们的研究证明,这个观点可能是基于先入为主导致的。”

'Human beings are very susceptible so it’s easy to see why we might only take note of pain on the days when it’s cold and rainy outside, but discount the days when they have symptoms but the weather is mild and sunny.'

“人类是非常容易受影响的,所以很容易发现,我们为何那么清楚的记得在寒冷阴雨天气的疼痛,而事实上在温暖晴好的天气里,疼痛也一直存在。”

But he and his team conducted a second study after people remained adamant that adverse weather conditions worsened their symptoms. They used data from new patients with both lower back pain and osteoarthritis.

不过,在人们坚称恶劣天气会加重疼痛时,他和他的团队人员进行了第二项研究。他们使用了那些同时患有腰疼病和膝关节炎症患者的数据。

However, the results were almost exactly the same - proving there is 'absolutely' no link between pain and the weather in these conditions.

然而,研究结果仍近乎一模一样--证明疼痛与天气“绝对”没有关联。
