Feb. 12, 2007 -- Eat right, get plenty of exercise, don't smoke and -- take a daily nap?
Naps aren't generally included in the litany of good-for-your-heart lifestyle choices recommended for lowering cardiovascular risk, but they may soon be.
New research suggests a midday siesta may reduce a person's risk of death from heart diseaseheart disease, possibly by lowering stressstress levels.
The findings must be confirmed, but Dimitrios Trichopoulos, MD, a study author, tells WebMD there is little downside to taking naps -- and there could be big health benefits.
"The siesta is a victim of progress. Most of us aren't in the position to take a daily nap," he says. "But our research suggests that the practice could help protect the heart, and we need further studies to find out if this really is the case."
Part of the Culture
Trichopoulos says the research stemmed from the observation that heart disease death rates are lower in Mediterranean and Latin American countries where midday siestas are part of the culture.
His own earlier research in a Greek population provided weak evidence in favor of the nap hypothesis, but another, larger study, conducted in Costa Rica failed to show an association.
The newly published Greek study by Trichopoulos and colleagues from the Harvard School of Public Health in Boston, and Greece's University of Athens Medical School is the largest ever to examine the issue in a previously healthy population.
A total of 23,681 residents of Greece with no history of heart disease, strokestroke, or cancercancer at enrollment were followed an average of 6.3 years.

新的研究显示中午小睡可能通过降低压力水平来降低个体的心脏相关疾病的死亡风险。

这一发现很可能被确认,但是研究者之一Dimitrios Trichopoulos医学博士告诉WebMD说稍微小睡一会儿就可以带来很大的健康受益。
"The siesta is a victim of progress. Most of us aren't in the position to take a daily nap," he says. "But our research suggests that the practice could help protect the heart, and we need further studies to find out if this really is the case."
他说,午睡是社会进步的牺牲品,我们大都没有机会进行每天的午休。但是我们的研究显示午睡可以保护心脏,我们需要更多的研究来证实这一观点。
Part of the Culture
文化的一部分
Trichopoulos says the research stemmed from the observation that heart disease death rates are lower in Mediterranean and Latin American countries where midday siestas are part of the culture.
Trichopoulos指出, 研究的最初想法来自具有午睡习惯的地中海沿岸和拉丁美洲国家的人群心脏病死亡率低。

他自己在希腊人群中进行的前期研究给出了微弱的证据支持午睡设想,但是另外一个在哥斯達黎加人中进行的大型研究没有显示两者有联系。
