Owning A Dog Is Good For Your Health
Main Category: Veterinary News
Article Date: 22 Jan 2007 - 12:00 PST
A UK study reveals that owning a dog is good for your health. And having a pet dog improves your physical and mental wellbeing more than having a cat.
This is the conclusion of a study by a senior lecturer, Dr Deborah Wells, from the Canine Behaviour Centre of Queens University, Belfast, Northern Ireland.
Dr Wells has published her study in the British Journal of Health Psychology.
The study is a review of research papers that have explored the connection between domestic dog ownership and human wellbeing. In her research Dr Wells found papers that suggest domestic dog ownership can prevent people from getting ill, recover more quickly when they do fall ill, and give warning of early signs of cancer, seizures and hypoglycaemia.
She also explored the research into dogs and human psychological health, including the therapeutic role that dogs play in aiding the disabled and also in hospitals, prisons and residential homes.
An Israeli research paper said it was likely that animal companions helped people with schizophrenia feel motivated and calmer. And another UK study suggested that the companionship of a dog helped children with chronic illnesses endure painful treatments.
Some of the evidence was found to be weak, but in other areas Dr Wells found strong evidence to suggest that dog owners have lower blood pressure, lower cholesterol, and are less likely to have minor and serious health problems.
In one paper dated 1985, Dr Wells found that dog owners had an 8.6 higher one year survival rate after a heart attack compared to people who did not have a dog.
Dr Wells suggests there could be a number of reasons for the health benefits of dog ownership. There is the more obvious direct effect of increased physical activity, but then there are also indirect effects such as that brought by increased social contact and the possibility that the human-dog bond provides a psychological buffer against stress.
Comparing cat and dog ownership, Dr Wells found evidence that people who take cats and dogs from rescue centres reported reductions in minor health problems such as headaches, dizzy spells and colds as soon as one month after taking their new companion home. However, it was only those people who had taken dogs, as opposed to cats, that still had the improved health conditions up to ten months later.

养狗有益健康
A UK study reveals that owning a dog is good for your health. And having a pet dog improves your physical and mental wellbeing more than having a cat.
一项英国的研究显示养狗有益于健康。而且养狗做宠物比养猫做宠物更能改善身心健康。
This is the conclusion of a study by a senior lecturer, Dr Deborah Wells, from the Canine Behaviour Centre of Queens University, Belfast, Northern Ireland.
这一结论来自北爱尔兰贝尔法斯特女王大学狗行为中心的高级讲师Deborah Wells博士进行的一项研究。
Dr Wells has published her study in the British Journal of Health Psychology.
Wells博士已经将其研究发表于英国健康心理学杂志。
The study is a review of research papers that have explored the connection between domestic dog ownership and human wellbeing. In her research Dr Wells found papers that suggest domestic dog ownership can prevent people from getting ill, recover more quickly when they do fall ill, and give warning of early signs of cancer, seizures and hypoglycaemia.
该项研究是对一些研究论文的综述，涉及的研究论文已经探讨了驯养狗和健康之间的联系。Wells博士在她的研究中发现，这些研究论文认为驯养狗可以预防疾病，即使患病也更易恢复健康，而且也能为早期癌症、癫痫和低血糖提出警示。
She also explored the research into dogs and human psychological health, including the therapeutic role that dogs play in aiding the disabled and also in hospitals, prisons and residential homes.
同时，对狗与人类心理健康的研究她也进行了探讨，这些研究包括狗在帮助残疾人的治疗中的作用，也包括狗在医院、监狱以及社区中的治疗作用。
An Israeli research paper said it was likely that animal companions helped people with schizophrenia feel motivated and calmer. And another UK study suggested that the companionship of a dog helped children with chronic illnesses endure painful treatments.
一份以色列研究论文说，与动物作伴很可能帮助精神分裂症病人感到生活的源动力而且表现得更冷静。而另一份英国的研究显示，与狗作伴能帮助患慢性疾病的儿童忍受治疗的痛苦。
Some of the evidence was found to be weak, but in other areas Dr Wells found strong evidence to suggest that dog owners have lower blood pressure, lower cholesterol, and are less likely to have minor and serious health problems.
有些证据看起来不够说服力，但在另一些地方，Wells博士发现有很强的证据显示狗主人血压较低、胆固醇较低，而且比较少机会患有轻微的或者是严重的健康问题。
In one paper dated 1985, Dr Wells found that dog owners had an 8.6 higher one year survival rate after a heart attack compared to people who did not have a dog.
Wells博士还发现在一篇1985年的论文显示，驯养狗的主人比不养狗的人在发作心脏病后的一年生存率高8.6。
Dr Wells suggests there could be a number of reasons for the health benefits of dog ownership. There is the more obvious direct effect of increased physical activity, but then there are also indirect effects such as that brought by increased social contact and the possibility that the human-dog bond provides a psychological buffer against stress.
Wells博士说，养狗对于健康有益是有几方面的原因的。比如明显的直接原因有养狗增加了身体活动，同时，也有些间接的原因如养狗能增加社交活动，而且人和狗的情谊也能为应付压力提供心理缓冲。
Comparing cat and dog ownership, Dr Wells found evidence that people who take cats and dogs from rescue centres reported reductions in minor health problems such as headaches, dizzy spells and colds as soon as one month after taking their new companion home. However, it was only those people who had taken dogs, as opposed to cats, that still had the improved health conditions up to ten months later.
至于养狗还是养猫，Wells博士发现从动物救援中心认领猫或狗达一个月的人比认领前较少发生轻微健康问题，如头痛、头晕和感冒等。然而，只有认领狗，而不是认领猫的人在十个月后仍然觉得健康有所改善。

意见：
However, it was only those people who had taken dogs, as opposed to cats, that still had the improved health conditions up to ten months later.
然而，只有认领狗，而不是认领猫的人在十个月后仍然觉得健康有所改善。
觉得不妥，是不是翻成：
然而，与领养猫的人相反，只有认领狗的人在十个月后健康状况持续改善。 |
