新研究發(fā)現(xiàn)，快步走路可以降低患2型糖尿病的風(fēng)險(xiǎn)，而且走得越快效果越好，大步快走可以將患病風(fēng)險(xiǎn)降低39%。

When it comes to walking and type 2 diabetes risk, it’s not just how much you do it that helps — it’s also how fast you move, a new study has found.

一項(xiàng)新研究發(fā)現(xiàn)，走路可降低患2型糖尿病的風(fēng)險(xiǎn)，不過關(guān)鍵不在于走多少步，而在于走得多快。

Brisk walking is associated with a nearly 40% lower risk of developing type 2 diabetes later in life, according to the study published in the British Journal of Sports Medicine.

發(fā)表在《英國運(yùn)動(dòng)醫(yī)學(xué)雜志》上的這份研究報(bào)告指出，快走可將日后患2型糖尿病的風(fēng)險(xiǎn)降低近40%。

The study authors reviewed 10 previous studies conducted between 1999 and 2022, which assessed links between walking speed and the development of type 2 diabetes among adults from the United States, the United Kingdom and Japan.

研究作者回顧了1999年至2022之間開展過的10項(xiàng)研究，這些面向美國、英國和日本成人的研究對(duì)走路速度和患2型糖尿病之間的關(guān)聯(lián)進(jìn)行了分析。

After a follow-up period of eight years on average, compared with easy or casual walking those who walked an average or normal pace had a 15% lower risk of developing type 2 diabetes, the researchers found. Walking at a “fairly brisk” pace meant a 24% lower risk than those who easily or casually walked. And “brisk/striding walking had the biggest benefit: a 39% reduction in risk.

研究人員指出，這些研究在對(duì)這些成人進(jìn)行了平均八年的跟蹤調(diào)查后發(fā)現(xiàn)，相比輕松隨意的散步，正常的走路速度能將患2型糖尿病的風(fēng)險(xiǎn)降低15%，而相對(duì)較快的走路速度則能將患病風(fēng)險(xiǎn)降低24%。大步快走最為有益，能將患病風(fēng)險(xiǎn)降低39%。

Easy or casual walking was defined as less than 2 miles (3.2 kilometers) per hour. Average or normal pace was defined as 2 to 3 miles (3.2 to 4.8 kilometers) per hour. A “fairly brisk” pace was 3 to 4 miles (4.8 to 6.4 kilometers) per hour. And “brisk/striding walking” was more than 4 (6.4 kilometers) per hour. Each kilometer increase in walking speed above brisk was associated with a 9% lower risk of developing the disease.

輕松隨意的走路被定義為每小時(shí)步行不到3.2千米，正常步速為每小時(shí)3.2到4.8千米，較快步速為每小時(shí)4.8到6.4千米，而大步快走則是每小時(shí)超過6.4千米。走路速度每增加1千米，患2型糖尿病的風(fēng)險(xiǎn)就減少9%。

Dr. Michio Shimabukuro, a professor and chairman of the department of diabetes, endocrinology and metabolism at the Fukushima Medical University School of Medicine, agreed — adding that “increased exercise intensity due to faster walking speeds can result in a greater stimulus for physiological functions and better health status.”

福島醫(yī)科大學(xué)醫(yī)學(xué)院糖尿病、內(nèi)分泌和代謝系主任島袋道穗教授也認(rèn)同這一研究結(jié)果，他表示“快步走路帶來的運(yùn)動(dòng)強(qiáng)度的提高可以增進(jìn)生理功能，改善健康狀況”。
