Could your best friend make you fat?
Researchers who have studied“networks”of obesity(肥胖) think so:they found that if someone's friend becomes obese, that person's chances of becoming obese increase by more than half.
Brothers or sisters and a husband or a wife also have an influence, although reduced_people whose brothers or sisters became obese were 40 percent more likely to grow obese, while people whose husband or wife became obese were 37 percent more likely to.
“This is the first study to show how obesity spreads through the social network from person to person,”James Fowler of the University of California, San Diego, who worked on the study, told in a telephone interviewing.
The researchers said their findings show that obesity is contagious—not like a virus which is contagious, but in a social sense.
It may help explain why obesity is worsening across the United States, with twothirds of Americans overweight and almost a third technically obese.
“It has become very popular to speak of the obesity epidemic.We began to wonder if it is truly an epidemic,”Dr.Nicholas Christakis, a professor of medical sociology at Harvard Medical School in Boston, told the briefing.
“We think that these findings reinforce(加强) the idea that obesity is not just an individual problem but a collective problem,”Christakis said.
“People look around them and see people gaining weight and it might change their attitude about what constitutes an acceptable body size,”he added.“You might say it's OK to be heavier.”

A.the influence of people is smaller and smaller
