《国际循环》:众所周知,无论是男性还是女性,肥胖都是危险因素,但是肥胖男性与肥胖女性是否存在区别?相对于男性来说,女性肥胖是否带来了更大的风险?肥胖对于危险性的影响在男女间是否存在差异?
Nanette Wenger 美国埃默里大学医学院
<International Circulation>: We know obesity is a risk for both men and women but is there a difference between obese men and obese women? Does obesity increase the risk even further in women compared to men? Is there a difference in how obesity affects risk in men and women?

Prof. Wenger: There is a comparable obesity risk, but the question is the prevalence of obesity and the type of obesity. What we are worried about most is the central obesity, the waist circumference, because that, in both women and men, imparts a greater risk.
Wenger教授:这种肥胖风险是相同的,但问题是肥胖的患病率和肥胖的类型。我们现在最担心的是向心性肥胖、腰围,因其无论在男性还是女性,都具有更大的风险。
