感冒的原因

研究指睡眠不足易感冒
美國 研究人員周一說,每天睡眠不足7小時會降低人體免疫能力,增加患感冒風險。

位於賓夕法尼亞州匹茲堡市的卡內基·梅隆大學研究人員,讓153名身體健康的志願者接觸感冒病毒後在一家飯店內「禁閉」5天。期滿之後,研究人員對照他們的睡眠情況、感冒症狀,以及血液中的抗體數量。

研究發現,每天睡眠不足7小時的人與不少於8小時的人相比,出現打噴嚏、喉嚨痛等感冒症狀的幾率是後者的2.94倍。

研究人員說,睡眠品質低可能影響細胞激素或組胺,從而影響人體免疫功能。

「儘管關於睡眠與免疫系統間關係的研究文獻比較多,但這項研究首次表明,即使是輕微的睡眠紊亂也會影響人體對感冒病毒的反應。」研究人員科恩在一份聲明中說,「這再次為人們提供了一個抽出時間保障夜間睡眠的理由」。

這項研究刊登於美國《內科學文獻》月刊。


全中。真的睡眠不足7小時就感冒了。
