夢想目標(biāo)還是要有的 能延年益壽

A recent meta-study in the U.S. National Libraryof Medicine National Institutes of Health looked atthe impact of having a “higher purpose” can have onhealth. Some 136,265 people participated in 10different studies, mostly in the United States andJapan.

美國國家醫(yī)學(xué)圖書館國立衛(wèi)生研究院的一項最新元研究探討了擁有“崇高的目標(biāo)”會對健康產(chǎn)生的影響。13萬6265人參與了10項不同的研究，這些研究主要在美國和日本進(jìn)行。

A significant association was detected betweenhaving a higher purpose in life and reduced mortality from all causes and specifically fromcardiovascular disease. The participants were 67 years old, on average, at the beginning of thestudies, and they were followed for seven years. During that time, more than 14,500 of themdied and more than 4,000 suffered cardiovascular events such as strokes or heart attacks.

生活中擁有崇高的目標(biāo)與減少各種原因，特別是心血管疾病，引發(fā)的死亡之間被檢測到重要的關(guān)聯(lián)。在研究之初，參與者的平均年齡為67歲，然后他們被關(guān)注了7年。在那期間，他們中的1萬4500多人死亡，4000多人遭受過像中風(fēng)或心臟病發(fā)作等心血管疾病的痛苦。

Analysis of the data, which includes adjustments for other known factors (like did theparticipants smoke?) showed that a higher sense of purpose was linked to a reduction of about20 percent inmortality from all causes, as well as a lower risk of cardiovascular problems. This isa significant difference, and this knowledge should encourage us to help people find theirpurpose. It’s not just nice to have one — it can actually save lives.

配合其他已知因素(如參與者抽煙嗎?)對數(shù)據(jù)進(jìn)行的分析表明，崇高的目標(biāo)感與各種原因引發(fā)的死亡減少約20%以及降低心血管疾病的風(fēng)險有關(guān)聯(lián)。這是一個有意義的不同之處，這項認(rèn)知將鼓勵我們幫助人們找到他們的目標(biāo)。擁有一個目標(biāo)不只是美好而已——它確實能拯救生命。

So in the meantime, keep looking for your purpose!

所以，在此期間，繼續(xù)尋找你的目標(biāo)吧!
