A new study suggests you are where you live

—

at least in terms of weight.

A

rural

address

could

be

a

risk

factor

for

being

overwei ght

，

according

to

the

research

published in the fall issue of The Journal of Rural Health.

The study

，

led by researchers at the University of Kansas

，

analyzed data from the

National

Center

for

Health

said

it

is

the

first

in

more

than

30

years

to use actual measurements of height and weight

，rather than self?reported data，

which can be unreliable.

About 70 million Americans

，

or 23% of the population

，

live in rural

researchers

found

that

39.6%

of

them

are

obese(

肥胖的

)

，

whi le

33.4%

of

urban

residents

are ing overweight people as well

，

the comparative totals are 70.8% and

67.1%

，

the study said.

The factors at work

could be the “cultural diet” of rural America，

as well as the

isolation(

隔离

)

that

often

exists

，

said

the

lead

research er

，

Christie

Befort

，

assistant

professor of preventive medicine and public health at the University of Kansas

Medical Center.

That diet inclu

des “rich homemade foods” with lots of meat and desserts，

she

Americans typically consume more fats than their urban counterparts

，

the

study found.

Another factor could be the increased mechanization(

机械化

) of farm work

，

Befort

generations showed less difference in weight than younger ones

—

older

farmers would have put in more physical labor

，

she said.

“Although

s

ome

intervention(

介入

)

research

has

begun

to

address obesity

among

rural

adults and families

，

great attention needs to be focused on widespread effective

programs in rural areas

，

which contain some of the largest medically underserved

communities in the nation

，” the researchers said.

French

word

renaissance

means

was

first

used

in

1855

historian

Jules Michelet in his History of France

then adopted by historians of culture

，

by art historians

，

and eventually by music historians

，

all of whom applied it to

European culture during the 150 years spanning 1450

－

concept of rebirth

was

appropriate

to

this

period

of

European

history

because

of

the

renewed

interest

in ancient Greek and Roman culture that began in Italy and then spread throughout

rs and artists of the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries wanted to

restore

the

learning

and

ideals

of

the

classical

civilizations

of

Greece

and

these

scholars

this

meant

a

return

to

human

—

as

opposed

to

spiritual

lment in life

—

as opposed to concern about an afterlife

—

became a

desirable

goal

，

and

expressing

the

entire

range

of

human

emotions

and

enjoying

the

pleasures of the senses were no longer frowned s and writers now turned

to

secular(

不朽的

)as

well

as

religious

subject

matter

and

sought

to

make

their

works

understandable and appealing.

These changes in outlook deeply affected the musical culture of the Renaissance

period

how people thought about music as well as the way music was c omposed

experienced

architectural

monuments

，

sculptures(

雕塑

，

plays

，

and

poems

being

rediscovered

but

they

could

not

actually hear ancient music

—

although they could read the writings of classical

philosop hers

，

poets

，

essayists

，

and music theorists that were becoming available

in learned about the power of ancient music to move the listener

3

and

wondered

why

modern

music

did

not

have

the

same

example

，

the

influential

religious leader Bernardino Cirillo expressed disappointment

with the

learned

music

of

his

urged

musicians

to

follow

the

example

of

the

sculptors

，

painters< /p>

，

architects

，

and

scholars

who

had

rediscovered

ancient

art

and

literature.

The musical Renaissance in Europe was more a general cultural movement and state

of mind than a specific set of musical rmore

，

music changed so

rapidly during this century and a half

—

though at different rates in different

countries

—

that we cannot define a single Renaissance style.
