A survey of British female undergraduates shows that almost one-third of respondents would trade at least a year of their lives to have a perfect body, Livescience.com reports.

The survey found that 16% of young women queried said they'd trade a year of life for their ideal body weight and shape. 10% were willing to trade two to five years, and 2% were willing to trade up to 10 years of life away. 1% said they would give up 21 years or more.

The new research is based on a relatively small sample, so the results may not be representative of women in general. (点击Livescience.com查看原文)
