Doctor Support Makes Weight Loss Easier
医生居然是减肥者的福音？
According to a new two-year study, people who are working to lose weight are more successful when they have the support of their healthcare provider.
一份为期两年的研究显示：如果根据医师的指导或建议减肥，其成功的概率较大。
Researchers said physician-guided weight loss programs are almost never reimbursed by either Medicare or private insurance,
研究人员称：虽然这项“医生指导减肥”的计划对肥胖者的健康有极大的帮助，
despite the health benefits to obese people losing weight.
但是这项计划的费用不可以通过医疗保险或私人健保进行偿付。
Researchers reviewed data and surveys from 347 people who participated in the Practice-based Opportunities for Weight Reduction, or POWER,
参与这项为期两年“减肥实践”计划的志愿者共347位，
two-year trial to measure the benefits of working with a coach or being guided by a physician while maintaining a weight loss program.
研究人员将他们以“聘请私人教练”、“接受医师指导”的名义分为两组并对其减肥后的成果进行对比。
Researchers reported that participants who gave their physicians the highest ratings for the helpfulness lost an average of 111 pounds.
在临床试验中，给医生帮助评分较高的患者在临床试验期间平均减肥111磅，
Those who rated their doctors the lowest lost an average of 5 pounds during the two years.
而给医生帮助评分较低患者平均减肥只有5磅。
