Scientists in the USA have found a strong link between headaches and warmer weather. For many years people have believed that sudden increases in temperatures cause headaches. Doctors at a medical centre in Boston now say they know it’s true. Researchers did a study on 7,054 patients who went to hospital because of a headache. Their research showed that the main cause of the patients’ headaches was a change in the weather. A rise in temperature in the previous 24 hours was the biggest trigger. The research team said the chances of getting a bad headache increased by 7.5 percent with every five-degree Celsius rise in the temperature. The second biggest cause was a fall in air pressure, which happens especially after thunderstorms.

美科學(xué)家發(fā)現(xiàn)頭疼與氣溫升高有密切聯(lián)系。多年以來(lái)，人們一直認(rèn)為氣溫陡增會(huì)引起頭疼。波士頓某醫(yī)療中心醫(yī)生表示，這一論斷是真實(shí)的。研究人員對(duì)7054名頭疼病人進(jìn)行了研究。研究結(jié)果表明，引發(fā)頭疼的主要原因來(lái)自氣溫變化。過(guò)去二十四小時(shí)之內(nèi)氣溫升高是最大誘因。研究小組稱氣溫每升高五度，患頭疼的幾率就會(huì)增加7.5%。第二大原因是氣壓下降，尤其是在暴風(fēng)雨以后。

Lead researcher Dr. Kenneth J. Mukamal of Harvard Medical School gave a simple explanation of his research. He said: “In the summer, you may think that ice cream sets off your migraine. But it wasn’t the ice cream, it was the temperature increase on that very hot day that led you to eat the ice cream.” Dr. Mukamal added: “Our results are consistent with the idea that severe headaches can be triggered by external factors. These findings tell us that the environment around us does affect our health.” One doctor said to avoid headaches, we should stay away from things like coffee and wine when the weather suddenly gets hotter. Bad headaches and migraines affect millions. Around 18 percent of women and six percent of men suffer from them.

哈弗醫(yī)學(xué)院的研究主任肯尼思·穆卡馬爾博士對(duì)研究進(jìn)行了簡(jiǎn)要闡述。他稱：“特別是在夏天，人們會(huì)認(rèn)為冰激凌會(huì)引發(fā)偏頭疼。但其實(shí)不是，是因?yàn)橄奶鞖鉁厣咂仁鼓闶秤帽ち琛?rdquo;他還指出：“研究結(jié)果與外部因素導(dǎo)致頭疼的觀點(diǎn)一致。根據(jù)研究發(fā)現(xiàn)得知，周?chē)h(huán)境會(huì)影響身體健康。”某醫(yī)生稱若想避免頭疼，人們要在氣溫升高時(shí)遠(yuǎn)離咖啡和紅酒。數(shù)百萬(wàn)人被頭疼和偏頭疼所困擾。約18%女性和6%男性患有此類(lèi)問(wèn)題。
