A New Zealand study has found that being around a heavy drinker could affect people’s health and well-being.

紐西蘭一項研究發現，身旁有酗酒的人，健康與幸福感可能因此受損。

Researchers at Massey University in Auckland surveyed more than 3,000 people for the study, which was published in Addiction.

Researchers followed around 7,000 people aged 65 and over living in three French cities, for at least five years. They found those who used a lot of olive oil in cooking or as a dressing or dip had a lower risk of stroke than those who never used it. The researchers say older people should be given new dietary advice regarding olive oil.

研究人員追蹤法國3個城市約7000名65歲以上民眾至少5年，發現烹調時使用大量橄欖油，或是將橄欖油當作沙拉醬或沾醬的人，中風風險比從不使用橄欖油的人低。研究人員說，年長者應該獲得有關橄欖油的新飲食建議。

Lead author, Dr Cecilia Samieri, of the University of Bordeaux, said： "Our research suggests that a new set of dietary recommendations should be issued to prevent stroke in people 65 and older. Stroke is so common in older people, and olive oil would be an inexpensive and easy way to help prevent it."

Other predators, such as wolves, may also be at their most dangerous when the moon starts to wane.

其他肉食動物，例如狼，在月亮開始虧缺時也可能最危險。

The discovery, from an African study of 500 lion attacks, could explain the full moon’s place in folklore as a harbinger of evil or disaster, and its association with werewolves and vampires.
