When your doctor asks how often you exercise, do you give her an honest answer? How about when she asks what you’ve been eating lately? If you’ve ever stretched (夸大) the truth, you’re not alone.

Sixty to eighty percent of people surveyed have not told their doctors about some information that could be relevant (相关的) to their health, according to a new study. Besides fibbing (小谎) about diet and exercise, more than a third of respondents (受访者) didn’t speak up when they disagreed with their doctor’s suggestions. More often than not, they fail to admit they didn’t understand their doctor’s instructions.

When respondents explained why they weren’t transparent (坦诚直言的), most said that they wanted to avoid being judged, and didn’t want to be lectured about how bad certain behaviors were. More than half were simply too embarrassed to tell the truth. Most people want their doctor to think highly of them, says the study’s senior author Angela Fagerlin, Ph. D.. “They re worried about being thought as someone who doesn’t make good decisions,” she adds.

Scientists at University of Utah led the research study together with colleagues at University of Michigan and University of Iowa. The results will be published online in JAMA Network Open on November 30, 2018.

Insights (深入了解; 洞察) into the doctor- patient relationship came from a national online survey of two populations. One survey got responses from 2,011 participants (参加者) who averaged 36 years old. The second included 2,499 participants who were 61 on average.

“I’m surprised that such a large number of people chose to withhold (隐瞒) relatively benign (相对无害) information, and that they would admit to it, says the study’s first author Andrea Gurmankin Levy, Ph. D.. The trouble with a patient’s dishonesty is that doctors can’t offer accurate medical advice when they don’t have all the facts. “If patients are withholding information about what they’re eating, or whether they are taking their medication, it can have influences for their health, especially if they have a chronic (慢性的) illness,” says Levy.
