There's emerging evidence that weight and health can be uncoupled. Many researchers and doctors—and broader societies—take it as given that obesity means ill health. In fact, some say, the two don't inevitably go hand in hand. Researchers worldwide are studying genes, animal models, and humans to understand how factors such as the bodily distribution of fat and its nature can blunt or compound any health impacts of extra weight. The researchers are also working to define metabolically healthy obesity and examine how common it is and how long it persists. Beyond the research lies a knotty practical question: what the science means for people with obesity and the doctors they see.

负担更轻

有新的证据表明体重和健康可以脱钩。许多研究人员和医生——以及更广泛的社会——认为肥胖意味着健康不佳。事实上,有人说,两者并非必然齐头并进。世界各地的研究人员正在研究基因、动物模型和人类,以了解脂肪的身体分布及其性质等因素如何减弱或加剧额外体重对健康的影响。研究人员还致力于定义代谢健康的肥胖症,并研究它的普遍性和持续时间。除了研究之外,还有一个棘手的实际问题:科学对肥胖者和他们看到的医生意味着什么。
