Lack of shut-eye leads to fatter kids, study says

Sleeping less than magic threshold of 9 hours, 45 minutes packed on pounds

Kids' lack of sleep can lead to obesity
孩童睡眠不足易肥胖

Nov. 5: The link between sleep and obesity in adults has long been
established, but relatively little has been known about this relationship in
children until now.
一直以來，研究顯示了成人的肥胖與否與睡眠習習相慣，但直到現在才有報告指出
孩童的睡眠對肥胖也有明顯關係。

Here’s another reason to get the kids to bed early: More sleep may lower
their risk of becoming obese.
睡飽點也許能減少孩童肥胖的危險。

Researchers have found that every additional hour per night a third-grader
spends sleeping reduces the child’s chances of being obese in sixth grade by
40 percent.
研究指出，三年級孩童若能多睡一個小時，將能減少他們在六年級時發胖的機率達４成。

The less sleep they got, the more likely the children were to be obese in
sixth grade, no matter what the child’s weight was in third grade, said Dr.
Julie Lumeng of the University of Michigan, who led the research.
（這個研究還指出，不論孩童三年級時的體重多重，假如沒睡飽，都會增加在六年級時
　發胖的可能性。）
