According to new research, within a few short years of getting hitched, married individuals are twice as likely to become obese than single people who are dating.

Researchers tracked changes over a handful of years in the weight and relationship status of 6,949 individuals, and their findings don't bode well for commitment: not only are married people more likely to become obese than those who are just dating, but young women who move in with their partner tend to pack on the pounds, too.

The findings found women had a 63 percent increased risk of obesity, while men did not in the first year of marriage. However, due to the limitation of the study, men "don't get off scot-free either."

There is a widely-accepted idea that once women attract a husband, they can let themselves go, but she called that "absurd" because women have to keep their husband, too.

That idea might be at play, but once people are married they may also eat more regularly and may exercise less, contributing to a more a sedentary lifestyle.

This finding is also important for children, too, according to Ashton. She told Rodriguez children will be watching their parents, so it's essential for parents to set an example by maintaining a healthy lifestyle.

新的研究显示，步入"围城"几年内，已婚人士胖肥的机率比恋爱中的单身人士高了两倍。

这项研究跟踪调查了6949个人在几年间体重与感情生活的关系，但调查结果并不乐观：不只是已婚人士比单谈恋爱的人更容易肥胖，刚恋爱的女人也较容易增加体重。

调查结果显示妇女在结婚头一年内增加体重的机率为63%,而男人则没有这种危险。当然，由于调查的范围有限，这个结果并不能说明男人就可以"置之度外".

人们普遍认为女人一旦找到了丈夫，就可以放手不管了，矛盾的是，女人又必须得设法留住自己的丈夫。这种说法或许只是开开玩笑，但结婚之后，饮食会变得有规律，运动量也可能会减少，所以容易养成久坐不动的生活习惯。

Ashton认为这个调查结果对于孩子们来说也很重要。她告诉Rodriguez孩子会留意自己父母的生活方式，所以父母应该保持健康的生活习惯，做个好榜样。
