Are you as straight-backed as a ballerina， or as hunched as a dinosaur？Your ‘posture profile’ can identify whether you will suffer from aches and pains in later life， the British Chiropractic Association has said.
你是像芭蕾舞演员腰背挺直，还是像恐龙一样弯腰驼背缩成一团？英国脊椎治疗协会称，从你的“站姿”可以看出你年老时会不会遭受疾病疼痛。

People whose heads lean forward are most likely to suffer back pain， its survey found.
该协会研究调查发现，习惯把头向前倾的人最有可能会腰背酸痛。

Whether you are a ‘spoon’， ‘bridge’， ‘leaning tower’ or ‘flat-pack’ will determine your risk of having problems later. While previous indicators have focused on body shapes， with larger-breasted women and ‘apple’ shapes being seen as a warning sign， this new research shows posture could be key in preventing back pain.
你是“勺形”还是“桥形”、“斜塔形”或是“直板形”身材，这都会决定你以后身体会不会出毛病。先前研究将侧重点放在人的体型上，认为胸大，“苹果形”身材的女人身体更容易出毛病，而这项新研究表明站姿很可能会是预防背痛的关键因素。

A quarter of women suffer pain lasting between one and three days starting at the relatively young age of 34， the survey found.‘Leaning towers’ - women whose heads lean forward - are most likely to report pain， with almost six in ten with this posture already suffering and three in ten having daily twinges.
该项调查发现，背痛持续时间在一到三天的女性当中，有四分之一的人在34岁这么一个相对比较年轻的年龄就会开始出现背痛的症状。“斜塔性”身材（头往前倾）的女性最容易出现背痛的症状，经常保持这种姿势的女性中有将近60%的人已经患有背痛，并且有30%的女性身体每天都会出现刺痛。

Being a ‘bridge’ with an arched back was the second worse posture， followed by a ‘spoon’ position with rounded shoulders but a flat back.
身体后屈的“勺形”体型被认为是第二糟糕的姿势，圆肩平脊的“桥形”姿势最糟。

Tim Hutchful， a registered chiropractor and member of the British Chiropractic Association， said women looking to stave off back pain should try to keep their head and ankles in line.
英国脊椎治疗协会会员兼注册按摩师蒂姆·哈曲福称：女性想要避免背痛的话应该试着将头和膝盖保持在一条直线上。

‘The perfect posture should give you a neutral side-on appearance， with your ears， shoulders， hips， knees and ankles in line.’
“最佳的姿势应该是从侧面看时你的身姿是笔直的，耳朵、肩膀、臀部、膝盖和脚踝都保持在一条线上。”
