Study: little guy and the fat girl promotion and pay rise-the most difficult body, career development-IT information

Overweight and short people because of body and face obstacles to socio-economic status of promotion? A new study this phenomenon has provided "the most convincing evidence to date".

British and American researchers to 119,000 Britons between the ages of 37 and 73 years of genetic data were investigated, found higher body mass index and lower income and higher levels of social deprivation, in this study, levels of social deprivation, including unemployment, House and car ownership rates and overcrowded housing conditions, and other factors.

The results are announced in early March in the United Kingdom medical journal (British Medical Journal) of Sciences. Studies have found that short stature with lower income, education level and working-level associate, this effect in short stature male and obese women who most clearly embodies.

Previous studies have found that height and slim in the developed world levels associated with a higher socio-economic status, but this relationship causal order is uncertain, the researcher does not know what is a tall thin build rich, or rich people can get better food and health care to grow taller and stay slim figure.

The new study from the United Kingdom biobanks (UK Biobank) Gets the impact genetic variations of height and body mass index and other biological information. A person′s genes can predict the height and body mass index, a factor that is taken into account in later, researchers were able to exclude the possibility of social and economic success will shape. The authors of the study wrote: "use of genetic data in such a way can avoid some of the problems encountered in the observational study, so results can be better from bias and interference factors of influence, the report will also be more reliable. ”

In this study, socio-economic status were divided into five dimensions measure: individual age of full-time education, individuals of the highest degree and working status, family income and social deprivation index.

Just as genetic prediction, that standing for more than four out of five factors have a direct impact, higher body result in a higher socio-economic status. Is the income level of most affected by height, affected than men women are two to three times higher. Researchers point out that greater body mass index for women leads to lower socio-economic status, but they didn′t have this causal relationship can be established in the male group.

The authors in the study could not determine how height affects the quality of life, but they suggested a "self-esteem, shame, positive image and a high IQ there is a complex interaction between" this false as beginning research. Previous related studies noted that height is really important for adolescents, the diminutive young people even grow up to be a burly man would still be under the influence of some of the negative factors in adolescence.

While not all areas of political and business leaders is a tall man, but the study still shows that small weakness in phenomena such as discrimination in employment had been revealed. Meanwhile, for some women, the higher the body mass index and lower socio-economic status income and social deprivation index is most strong, this study suggests that workplace discrimination is the biggest reason.

研究：矮小伙和胖姑娘最难升职加薪 - 身材,职业发展 - IT资讯

体重超重和身材矮小的人会因为体型而面临社会经济地位晋升的障碍？一项最新研究为这一现象提供了“迄今为止最具说服力的证据”。

英美研究者对11.9万名年龄在37岁至73岁之间的英国人的遗传学资料进行了调查，发现更高的体重指数与更低的收入及更高的社会剥夺水平存在相关，在这项研究中，社会剥夺水平包括失业率、房子和汽车拥有率以及住房拥挤状况等因素。

这项研究结果于3月初公布在《英国医学杂志（British Medical Journal）》上。研究发现，矮小的身材与更低的收入、教育水平及工作层次相关联，这一效应在身材矮小的男性和肥胖的女性身上体现得最为明显。

此前一些研究曾发现，在发达国家身高和苗条程度与更高的社会经济地位相关联，但是这一相关关系的因果次序并不明朗，研究者不清楚到底是高瘦的身材使人富有，还是富有的人能够获取更好的食品和保健服务从而长得更高并保持苗条的体型。

这项新研究从英国生物样本库（UK Biobank）获取了影响身高和体重指数的遗传变异等生物信息。一个人的基因类型可以预测其身高和体重指数，把这一因素考虑在内后，研究者可以排除社会经济方面的成功会塑造体型的可能性。研究报告的作者写道：“以这样的方式使用基因数据可以避免一些观察性研究中遇到的问题，因此研究结果也就能更好地免受偏见和干扰因素的影响，报告也就更可靠。”

在这项研究中，社会经济地位被分为五个维度进行测量：个人完成全日制教育的年龄、个人获得的最高学位、个人工作状况、家庭年收入和社会贫困指数。

就像基因学预测的那样，身高对于以上五个因素中的四个都有直接影响，更高的身材会带来更高的社会经济地位。受身高影响最大的是收入水平，男性受影响的程度比女性要高出二至三倍。研究者指出更大的体重指数对于女性而言会导致更低的社会经济地位，但是他们没能将这一因果关系建立于男性群体中。

作者在研究报告中没能确定身高如何影响生活质量，但们他们提出了“自尊、羞耻感、正面印象和高智商之间存在复杂互动”这一假说来作为研究开端。之前的相关研究指出，身高对于青少年而言确实是重要的，身材矮小的青少年纵使成长为一名身材魁梧的人也仍旧会受到青春期留下的一些负面因素的影响。

虽然政商领域的领袖也并非全是大高个，但这项研究还是表明身材矮小的劣势在就业歧视等现象出现前就已经显露出来。与此同时，对于女性而言较高的体重指数与较低的社会经济地位在收入和社会贫困指数上关联最强，对此研究指出职场歧视是最大原因。
