But the increase in obesity has had a disproportionate impact on Americans health and longevity. 　 美国的肥胖人数过去16年增加了一倍。肥胖率上升对美国人的健康及寿命产生了不成比例的影响。The effect of a disease — or a condition like obesity — can be tallied by a measure called quality-adjusted life years lost. Its a way of showing in one number that, for example, a diabetic or an obese person died sooner but also had years of poor health. 　 疾病带来的影响-比如肥胖-可以通过所谓“质量调整生命年(quality adjusted life years)”来测量。比如，糖尿病人或肥胖的人可能会过早死亡，而且会有几年健康状况较差。City College of New York professor Erica Lubetkin is one of the authors of a new study that looked at the loss of quality life years due to obesity and how that changed between 1993 and 2008. 　 纽约城市大学的艾瑞卡.路贝金教授参加研究肥胖如何导致质量生命年的减少，以及这种情况在1993至2008年间的变化。她是研究报告的作者之一。The rate of obesity significantly increased, in fact it was almost double, it was about 89 percent, she explained. And with regard to the burden of disease it more than doubled, it increased over that 16 year period of time about 127 percent. 　 路贝金说：“肥胖率大幅增加，几乎增加了一倍，是大约百分之89。肥胖导致的疾病负担增加了一倍多，16年间增加了大约百分之127。”Lubetkin and her co-author based their findings on a massive collection of data, covering 3.5 million people. That large data set allowed them to analyze information for the 50 U.S. states separately, and also to identify trends by race and gender. 　 路贝金和她的同事分析了约350万人的数据资料后得出了这个结果。这个庞大的资料库使他们能分别研究美国50个州的情况，并按种族和性别分类找出不同的发展趋势。For example, one question they wanted to answer was whether the loss of quality life years was due to people dying sooner — mortality — or living in poor health — morbidity. 　 比如，他们想要回答的
