曾任衛(wèi)生局局長的維維克•默西認(rèn)為，社交媒體的增長和面對面接觸的減少讓孤獨(dú)成為了世界范圍的流行病。而孤獨(dú)可以是致命的。

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention have called sleep deprivation a public health problem, as some 50 to 70 million people in the US have sleep or wakefulness disorder.

世界衛(wèi)生組織的瓦雷里•加法羅夫教授在2015年指出，睡眠不足會提高中風(fēng)和心臟病發(fā)作的風(fēng)險，其危害相當(dāng)于經(jīng)常抽煙。
"Poor sleep should be considered a modifiable risk factor for cardiovascular disease along with smoking, lack of exercise, and poor diet," he said.

室內(nèi)美黑似乎是更可控的日光浴，但是，這兩者都可能比吸煙更危險。

2014年，研究人員在《美國醫(yī)學(xué)會雜志》上發(fā)表的一份研究報告指出，室內(nèi)美黑導(dǎo)致的皮膚癌比吸煙導(dǎo)致肺癌的病例更多。
"Given the large number of skin cancer cases attributable to indoor tanning, these findings highlight a major public health issue," the investigators wrote.
研究人員寫道：“考慮到當(dāng)前有如此多的皮膚癌病例都是由室內(nèi)美黑導(dǎo)致的，這些發(fā)現(xiàn)凸顯出了一個重大的公共健康問題。”
