Deep forehead wrinkles may be an early sign of cardiovascular disease, researchers have warned.
研究人员警告称，前额皱纹深也许是心血管疾病的早期征兆。
A study presented at the European Society of Cardiology Congress in Munich found that people with more wrinkles than is typical for their age had a higher risk of dying from the condition.
在慕尼黑举办的欧洲心脏病学会大会上发表的一项研究发现，皱纹比同年龄段的人更多的人死于心血管疾病的风险更高。
Researchers said the wrinkles could be linked to atherosclerosis -- the hardening of arteries due to plaque build-up.
研究人员称，皱纹可能与动脉粥样硬化--指因血小板聚集导致的动脉变硬有关。
Atherosclerosis is a major contributor to heart attacks and other cardiovascular problems.
动脉粥样硬化是心脏病等心血管问题的主因。
Changes in collagen protein -- which gives structure to our hair, skin and nails -- and oxidative stress seem to play a part both in atherosclerosis and wrinkles.
胶原蛋白可以维持头发、皮肤与指甲组织的健康，而它产生变化，加上氧化压力，似乎会导致动脉粥样硬化与皱纹。
The study suggested the tiny blood vessels in the forehead may be more sensitive to plaque build-up meaning wrinkles could be a sign of the vessels ageing.
研究认为，前额细小的血管或许对血小板聚集更加敏感，这意味着皱纹可能是一种血管老化的迹象。
Scientists analysed a group of 3,200 working adults who were all healthy and were aged 32, 42, 52 and 62.
研究人员对3200名成年人进行了这项新研究，这些参与者身体健康，年龄分别为32岁、42岁、52岁和62岁。
They were assigned scores depending on the number and depth of wrinkles on their foreheads. A score of zero meant no wrinkles while a score of three meant 'numerous deep wrinkles'.
他们的分数取决于额头上皱纹的数量和深度：0分表示没有皱纹，3分表示“深深的皱纹很多”。
The scientists found that people with a wrinkle score of one had a slightly higher risk of dying of cardiovascular disease than people with no wrinkles. Those who had wrinkle scores of two and three had almost 10 times the risk of dying compared with people who had wrinkle scores of zero.
研究人员发现，皱纹分数为1的人比没有皱纹的人死于心血管疾病的风险稍高。而皱纹分数为2和3的人死亡的风险几乎是皱纹分数为0的人的10倍。
Study author Yolande Esquirol, associate professor of occupational health at the Centre Hospitalier Universitaire de Toulouse in France, said: 'The higher your wrinkle score, the more your cardiovascular mortality risk increases.'
该研究的作者、法国图卢兹大学中心职业健康副教授约兰德·埃斯基罗尔总结道：“皱纹分数越高，心血管死亡风险就越大。”
