美研究:熱門專輯發行當天 交通死亡人數增約15%

哈佛醫學院等研究團隊發現,美國熱門專輯發行當日交通死亡人數較前後日期增加約15%,推測可能與智慧型手機及車載音樂操作有關。

哈佛醫學院等研究團隊統計發現,美國熱門專輯發行當天,交通死亡人數會比前後日期明顯增加約15.1%。研究推測可能與駕駛使用智慧型手機或操作車載音樂導致注意力分散有關。

Why It Matters

哈佛醫學院等團隊於2026年8月17日刊登於《JAMA Network Open》的研究,分析了美國2017年至2022年間熱門專輯發行前後的交通死亡數據。

美國熱門專輯發行當天,交通死亡人數都會比前後日期明顯增加,這是都市傳說,還是不可思議現象?根據由哈佛醫學院、麻州總醫院、布萊根婦女醫院研究團隊統計發現,只要有熱門專輯發行,當日車禍增幅約為15%,到底為什麼會這樣,2026年8月17日刊登於國際期刊《JAMA Network Open》的研究說明了原因。

研究分析,美國2017年至2022年間,串流平台單日播放量最高的10張專輯,包括泰勒絲(Taylor Swift)《Midnights》、Drake《Certified Lover Boy》、Bad Bunny《Un Verano Sin Ti》,每張專輯發行日前後各10天的交通死亡資料,發現專輯發行日平均約有139人死於交通事故,周邊日期平均約121人,統計增加約15.1%。研究團隊也強調,這並不代表「聽新歌」直接造成車禍,真正原因仍有待進一步確認。

同一時間,音樂串流量也明顯增加,熱門專輯發行日的每日串流量比周邊日期增加約43%,研究團隊推測,恐因智慧型手機使用增加,以及駕駛在車內搜尋、播放、切換音樂造成注意力分散,進而提高事故風險。

研究團隊也進一步指出,較年輕駕駛、單獨開車,以及天氣晴朗的情況下出車禍狀況較明顯。研究團隊也特別聲明,資料只能確認「專輯發行日」與「交通死亡增加」時間關聯,並未確定事故發生當下,駕駛是否真的正在使用手機或操作音樂,更無法證實是聽新歌直接導致車禍。背後原因可能涉及手機操作、車載娛樂系統、音量,甚至駕駛對新音樂本身的反應等因素。

Open Questions

  • 駕駛是否在事故發生當下實際操作手機或音樂?
  • 如何具體防範此類與音樂發行相關的交通風險?

Kidney disease vicious cycle! Doctors explain the "gut-kidney axis": Intestinal bacteria imbalance increases kidney burden

Ye Shangen, a nephrologist at Annan Hospital, pointed out that chronic kidney disease and intestinal flora have a bidirectional influence on the "gut-kidney axis". Decreased kidney function will change the intestinal environment, while imbalance of the flora will increase the accumulation of urinary toxins and systemic inflammation, forming a vicious cycle. He recommends breaking this cycle through moderate protein restriction, increased plant-based foods, and a combination of medical agents and adsorbents.

Doctors remind you not to forget to count alcohol calories during Mid-Autumn Festival barbecues

Dr. Ye Renhao pointed out that during Mid-Autumn Festival barbecues, people often count the calories of moon cakes and meat, but ignore the calories of alcohol. Alcohol contains about 7 calories per gram, and even without added sugar, it still contains calories. It is recommended to prepare sugar-free tea or sparkling water as an alternative, and remind those who lose weight to inform their medical team of their drinking habits.

Allergies can crop up at any time in life, including COVID-19, antibiotics, pregnancy and tick bites.

Allergies are not limited to childhood, anyone can develop new allergies suddenly at any stage of life due to factors such as coronavirus infection, antibiotic use, pregnancy or tick bites. Studies have shown that the new coronavirus will increase the risk of allergic rhinitis and asthma, while vaccines can reduce the risk; antibiotics may damage the intestinal microbiota and cause immune system confusion; hormonal fluctuations during pregnancy and menopause may also trigger allergies; being bitten by the lone star tick may trigger alpha-galactose syndrome, making people allergic to red meat. While some allergies, such as rhinitis of pregnancy, disappear after childbirth, many new allergies may be permanent, and scientists are exploring probiotics, vaccines and single-dose antibody therapies to retrain the immune system.
