depression.Significantly,resultsshowed that even people with a genetic vulnerability（易 受 伤）todepression and those who have experienced early life hardship areless likely to develop depression if they have regular meaningfulcontact with other people.Depression is the leading cause of disability worldwide and istreated with varying degrees of success using a range of differentcures.Yet the authors of this stiidy insist that the condition is stillpoorly understood,as a full investigation into the risk factors fordepression has never been conducted.To improve this,the researchers looked at data from 123,794adults.Specifically,the authors examined inlcjnriation relating toihe adults who displayed no symptoms of depression at the beginning,but who went on to develop clinical depression six to eightyeai-s later.This enabled the researchers to identify 106 lifestylefactors that appear to influence a persons risk of developing depression.They include sleep patterns,exercise habits,social connections,media use,diet,and environmental conditions.Next,ihe team used a statistical analysis method to determinewhich of these risk factors had a causal relationship to depressionand which were simply correlated with depression.Only a few ofthe original 106 lifestyle factors were found to be genuine riskfaclors,with social connection being the most significant.u Themost evident factor was frequency of believing in others,but alsovisits with family and friends,all of which highlighted the important protective effect of social connection/*explained study authorJordan Smoller,associate chief for research at the MassachusettsGeneral Hospital Department of Psychiatry.Meanwhile,a tendency to take daytime naps was also foundto increase the risk of depression,although the authors say moreresearch is needed to prove this.Similarly,the amount of timespent watching television appears to partly deteiTnine a personschances of suffering from depression,yet the researchers say thismay not have anything to do with screen time as watching T VGUANG DONG JIAO YU GAO ZHONGcould just be a substitute for being sedentary（久 坐 不 动 的）,which has previously been identified as a risk factor for depression.32.W h y did the researchers carry out the study?A.10 explore the causes of depression.B.To work out symptoms of depression.C.To find out more ways to cure depression.D.To prove the
