游戏宅男会变胖子 自愿者, 玩游戏

玩电子游戏，会让你在十来岁时增加食物摄入量，同时还减少了你的能量消耗，简而言之：玩电子游戏会让你变成胖子。

来自一个由加拿大和丹麦科学院组成的研究小组发现：受电子游戏的影响，你只知道吃，什么无论胃口咋样。

他们找来自愿者，进行了1-2小时的实验，在玩游戏时能量消耗比平时高，但游戏玩过之后食物摄取也比平时高。但这目前还未发现玩游戏会致使大脑感知饥更多的问题。

@oioi：似乎研究人员也未说清楚为什么，好像只是玩游戏时的能量消耗比不上他们之后的摄取，所以自然就变胖了。

The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates that almost 18% of US teens are obese. Although most experts agree that our growing obesity “epidemic” is driven by both inadequate physical activity and excessive caloric intake, implementing solutions is extraordinarily difficult. One area that has caught the attention of health researchers is the observation that trends in video game playing parallel obesity rates on a population basis. Furthermore, several studies have documented a positive association between how much time a child plays video games and his or her chance of being obese. However, correlation does not necessarily imply causality, and controlled intervention studies are required to test whether playing video games causes children to increase their food intake and/or decrease their energy expenditure. In the first such study of this kind, Canadian and Danish researchers tested their hypothesis that video game playing is accompanied by increased spontaneous food intake.

“This study is an especially important piece of the scientific puzzle in this arena because it went beyond simply simultaneously documenting the relationship between video game playing and food intake in kids,” said Shelley McGuire, PhD, American Society for Nutrition spokesperson. “Instead, it actually studied the same group of children during two separate, experimentally-administered periods of rest and video-game play, and then used gold-standard methods to measure important outcomes such as food intake, energy expenditure, and feelings of hunger and appetite. Consequently, the results can be used with a high degree of confidence to suggest that playing virtual soccer can affect food intake. Very interesting! Given our current obesity “crisis” in kids, I will be curious to follow the results of follow-up studies. For instance, do violent games or educational games have the same effect as sports-related games?”
