British Women's Waistlines

The average British woman's waistline has grownby 2 inches in 10 years, all thanks to the sedentary（久坐的） lifestyle.

A study conducted by Cancer Research UKscientists found that the average waistline of British women has increased from31.8 inches to 33.5 inches.

Men are also nowhere behind the fairer sex, forthe research found that the average man's waistline has grown by 1.4 inches to38 inches.

"We know high body weight increases therisk of a number of cancers and it is important we get this message out to asmany people as possible,” the Daily Mail quoted DrLesley Walker, of Cancer Research UK, as saying.

"A healthy diet with plenty of fiber,fruit and vegetables, as well as regular exercise can help people lose weightand reduce their risk of cancer,” he added.

The trend was found to be dominant in the under45s, where the proportion of men with a body mass index（体重指数）over 35, and of women with a BMI of over 40, has grown two-foldduring the decade.

Lead researcher Professor Jane Wardle said itis possible that young people follow a less healthy lifestyle than theirelders.

"Snacking habits, takeaway meals high infat and sedentary lifestyles where many people spend both work and leisure timesitting in front of a computer are all likely to contribute to theresults."

She added that genetics also play a vital rolein the growing rate of obesity.
