许多人把做家务当成锻炼身体,但英国一项最新调查显示,做家务较多者反而更容易超重。研究人员认为,这是由于多数人会高估做家务的运动量,从而忽视身体锻炼。英国北爱尔兰大学研究人员对4563名成年人的身体锻炼、做家务习惯及体重等状况进行了调查,并询问了他们如何评价做家务的劳动强度等问题。结果显示,妇女和中老年人做家务较多,也更倾向于把做家务归为他们“中度到剧烈运动的重要组成部分”。然而,这一人群中身体超重的比例也较高。

Many people think of housework as a workout, but a recent British survey shows that doing more housework is more likely to be overweight. The researchers believe this is because most people will overestimate the amount of housework done and neglect physical activity. Researchers at the University of Northern Ireland conducted a survey on the physical activity, housework habits and weight of 4,563 adults and asked them how they rated the labor intensity of doing housework. The results show that women and the elderly have more housework and are more likely to attribute housework as “an important part of moderate to strenuous exercise.” However, the proportion of overweight people in this population is also high.
