  人们通常认为,年轻妈妈产后恢复体型有绝对的优势。但据英国《每日邮报》网站22日报道,最新研究表明,年龄在19岁以前初产的女性肥胖的风险更高,超重的几率增加三分之一。

  美国密歇根大学的研究人员发现,在青少年期间生产的妇女比非青少年妈妈更容易超重或者肥胖。青少年妈妈中很少人达到正常体重标准。

  研究项目的主要负责人塔米•张博士说,我们首次将最年轻的妈妈们列为肥胖的高危人群,肥胖是我们面临的一个最棘手、最长远的健康问题。

  “在关注青少年妈妈的时候,我们通常也会关注保育、住房、上学,社会以及财政支持等急迫需要解决的问题,但我们很少考虑到长期的健康影响。”

  在排除例如种族、教育、社会背景这些因素后,研究人员发现,年龄在19岁之前初产的女性比年纪在20岁甚至更后初产的女性,发展成肥胖的危险率高出32%。

  张博士此项研究成果发表在《美国妇产科杂志》上,她指出,“我们需要进一步的研究,更好地了解青少年生产与肥胖的关系,让医生与决策者能够更好地照顾年轻妈妈们。”

  “肥胖是一个普遍的健康问题,并且很难逆转,因此,尽早鉴别危险人群至关重要,以便我们采取人为干预。”(编译:徐林)

  Young mothers are often thought to be at an advantage when it comes to getting back in shape after pregnancy。

  But in fact women who have babies in their teens are significantly more likely than older mothers to become obese later in life, research shows。

  Those who had their first child aged 19 or younger were a third more likely to be very overweight, it found。

  Significantly fewer women who gave birth in their teens were of normal weight than those who had babies later。

  Lead author Dr Tammy Chang said: ‘For the first time, we’ve identified our youngest mums as a high risk group for obesity, one of the most debilitating long-term health issues we face。

  ‘When taking care of teen mums, we often have so many immediate concerns – childcare, housing, school, social and financial support – that we don’t often think of long-term health effects.’

  After controlling for factors such as race, education and background, the scientists found women who gave birth before 19 had a 32 per cent higher risk of obesity than women who had given birth at age 20 or later。

  The survey by the University of Michigan of US women aged between 20 and 59 is believed to be the first to identify teen pregnancy as a predictor of obesity。

  Around 15 per cent of British women are now obese when expecting a child – up from 7 per cent 20 years ago。
