A new study shows that the depth of the wrinkles on a woman’s face could hold important clues about the health of her bones. The research was conducted by the Yale School of Medicine in the USA. It involved 114 women ranging in age from their late 40s to early 50s. Lead researcher Dr Lubna Pal looked at the relationship between skin wrinkling and bone mineral density. Dr Pal assessed wrinkles at 11 different places on the face and neck. She also checked skin rigidity on the forehead and cheeks. Pal said: "For the older patient, her bigger concern is what is happening to her skin. The clinician's concern is what is happening to her bones. Our question was, can we fine-tune the patient to get a sense of the bone issues?"

最新研究表明，女性臉皺深度能夠看出骨頭的健康程度。這是美國耶魯大學(xué)醫(yī)學(xué)院所進(jìn)行的研究。研究對(duì)象是114名50歲上下的女性。研究主任盧比娜·帕爾博士對(duì)皮膚皺紋和骨密度之間的關(guān)系進(jìn)行了研究。帕爾博士對(duì)臉部以及頸部的11處不同部位進(jìn)行了研究。此外，她還對(duì)前額以及面頰的皮膚硬度進(jìn)行了檢查。帕爾博士稱：“對(duì)于老年病患來說，皮膚是她們最大的擔(dān)憂。而骨質(zhì)是臨床醫(yī)生最為擔(dān)心的。我們的問題是，如何讓病患對(duì)骨質(zhì)問題引起重視？”

Dr Pal says the study shows a definite connection between the thickness of a woman’s bones and the depth of her wrinkles. She said women who had the deepest wrinkles were far more likely to have thinner bones. Having less dense bones means you have a greater chance of suffering from hip and other fractures. These are common causes of non-disease-related death in older people. The research suggests that instead of spending money on anti-aging and anti-wrinkle creams, women should invest in a bone density screening. Dr Judith Turgeon said: "The cost of a fracture would far outweigh the cost of a screen like this." It might even be the case your worry lines will decrease if you know you have strong bones.

帕爾博士認(rèn)為，這項(xiàng)研究證明女性骨質(zhì)厚度與皺紋深度存在關(guān)系。她認(rèn)為對(duì)于那些臉皺極深的女性來說，骨質(zhì)薄的可能性將大大增加。如果女性的骨密度低，那么她們?cè)馐芡尾抗钦郏约捌渌课还钦鄣娘L(fēng)險(xiǎn)也將大大增加。對(duì)于老年人來說，這些也是非疾病死亡的常見原因。這項(xiàng)研究推薦女性進(jìn)行骨密度檢查，而不是將錢花在抗衰老，或是防皺乳霜上。朱迪思·特金博士認(rèn)為：“骨折的費(fèi)用要遠(yuǎn)遠(yuǎn)高于檢查的費(fèi)用。”如果你的骨頭足夠強(qiáng)大，那么臉上的憂愁也會(huì)隨之減少。”
