waist size in more than 113,000 women taking part in the british study. the study followed the women for 40 years to identify root causes of breast cancer. obesity is a known risk factor for the disease. “the associations we saw in our study between light exposure at night and obesity are very interesting. we cannot yet tell at this stage what the reason for the associations is, but the results open up an interesting direction for research.” said prof. anthony swerdlow, from the institute of cancer research. “ one possible explanation is that the light is interrupting the body clock, which stems from our evolutionary past (进化历程). we were active when it was light in the day and restful when it was dark at night. ”other research has found the effect of night-time lightning on the body may contribute to unhappy feelings. but its too early to suggest that sleeping in the dark will help prevent obesity, a known risk factor for breast cancer. the findings are reported in the american journal of epidemiology. previous research has drawn similar conclusions. a team at ohio state university examined how night-time light affects weight, body fat and glucose icose intolerance (葡萄糖过敏) in mice. they found that continuing exposure to even a little night-time light caused increases in all three aspects. light changes mood, physical strength and even the way we process food in
