又想騙我去追星,研究表明經常看演唱會可延年益壽

A new study suggests that fortnightly gig attendance extends life expectancy by nine years.

一項新的研究表明，每兩週聽一次演唱會能將壽命延長9年。

In fact, just 20 minutes at a concert can increase your wellbeing by 21 percent—compared to 10 percent for yoga and 7 percent for dog-walking.

事實上，聽20分鐘演唱會，就能讓人的幸福感提高21%。相比之下，練瑜伽能讓人的幸福感提升10%。遛狗後幸福感提升7%。

The report, commissioned by O2 (owner of some of the UK’s largest music venues) and Goldsmiths University of London, reveals “the power of live music on the human body and mind.”

該報告由英分最大的幾個音樂場館所有者O2和倫敦大學金史密斯學院發佈，揭示了“現場音樂表演對人生理和心理的影響”。

Based on psychometric and heart-rate tests of a range of advantageous activities—including exercise and puppy playtime—it turns out people feel their best while attending a music performance.

在研究對象進行鍛鍊、遛狗等一系列有益健康的活動後，對他們進行心理測試和心率測試，結果顯示，觀看音樂表演的人們感覺狀態最佳。

The gig experience, O2 claimed, boosted participants’ perception of wellbeing: Feelings of self-worth and closeness to others rose 25 percent, and mental stimulation skyrocketed by 75 percent.

O2聲稱，聽演唱會提升了參與者對幸福感的感知：自我價值感和對他人的親近感上升了25%，正向精神刺激飆升了75%。

“Our research showcases the profound impact gigs have on feelings of health, happiness, and wellbeing—with fortnightly or regular attendance being the key,” Patrick Fagan, expert in behavioral science and associate lecturer at Goldsmith’s University, said in a statement.

倫敦大學金史密斯學院行爲科學專家、副講師帕特里克?費根發表聲明稱：“我們的研究展示了演唱會對健康感、幸福感的深遠影響，關鍵在於每兩週或定期觀看演唱會。”

Additional analysis shows that those who frequent live concerts are most likely to score happiness, contentment, productivity, and self-esteem at the highest level (10 out of 10).

進一步分析表明，那些經常到現場觀看演唱會的人在幸福感、滿意度、工作效率和自尊心方面最有可能獲得最高分（獲得滿分10分）。

“Combining all of our findings with O2's research, we arrive at a prescription of a gig a fortnight which could pave the way for almost a decade more years of life,” Fagan explained.

費根表示：“我們把所有的發現與O2的研究相結合，找到了可延壽近10年的良方，那就是每兩週聽一次演唱會。”
