You may not know all the nine hazards of obesity

One white covers up a hundred ugliness, one fat destroys everything. "This is not just a catchphrase among beauty lovers. Especially with this' obesity ', from a health perspective, it does indeed' destroy 'not only the appearance, but also causes many serious harm to the body. Experts from the Health Education Institute of the Beijing Center for Disease Control and Prevention are here to "expose" these 9 health hazards caused by obesity, which almost cover the vast majority of elderly diseases. The impact of obesity on lifespan is closely related to mortality rate, meaning that as obesity increases, mortality rate also increases significantly. When the body mass index (BMI) exceeds 35, the mortality rate increases by 30% -40% compared to the average person. According to scientific research data, obesity can reduce life expectancy by 6-7 years. Even more frightening is that if severely obese with a BMI greater than 40, men's lifespan will be reduced by 20 years. The impact of SEP on blood pressure: In adulthood, especially in the age range of 40-50, obese individuals have a 50% higher chance of developing hypertension compared to the general population. The impact of SEP on the heart is not secondary to hypertension or coronary heart disease, but rather its direct effect on heart function. Due to obesity, fat will adhere to the surface of the heart, reducing its contractile function and significantly increasing the proportion of heart failure.

Cerebrovascular disease In China, the incidence of cerebrovascular incidence rate is very high. Due to the formation of arteriosclerosis and thrombosis, obesity, dyslipidemia, etc., ischemic cerebral infarction is very high.

diabetes obesity is like a shadow accompanied by diabetes. The incidence rate of diabetes in obese people is four times higher than that in ordinary people. 90% of newly diagnosed diabetes patients are fat, and few are not.

According to the research, when the body mass index is 22-23, the risk of diabetes is actually very low; At 23-31, the risk of onset increases by 10 times to 40%; When the body mass index is 35, the risk of women developing diabetes is 93.2%. So diabetes is closely related to obesity.

Fatty liver and dyslipidemia The incidence of fatty liver and dyslipidemia in China is very high, but people often do not know that about 10% of patients with fatty liver will progress to steatohepatitis, leading to cirrhosis or liver cancer. Snoring is called obstructive sleep apnea syndrome. Don't underestimate snoring, this disease is very common in obese people and has great harm. The incidence of this disease in obese individuals is as high as 50% -70%, while in the general population it is only 2% -4%. Some obese individuals may experience breathing pauses during the day or sleep at night, with obvious hypoxia and certain brain damage. Sudden cardiac death is common in these patients.

Tumor obesity is closely related to some tumors, including ovarian cancer, endometrial cancer, bladder cancer cancer and breast cancer in women; In males, it is prostate cancer. Obesity will lead to a significant increase in the incidence rate of these diseases, and the incidence rate of rectal cancer will rise significantly in both men and women after obesity.The treatment of some of these cancers has achieved good results, such as prostate cancer, breast cancer and rectal cancer. However, the survival rate of patients with ovarian cancer, bladder cancer cancer and endometrial cancer over 5 years is relatively low.

The incidence rate of osteoarthropathy has increased significantly. With the increase of age, our joints are gradually aging. The heavy pressure will undoubtedly promote the occurrence of joint diseases. In addition, the obstacles of sugar metabolism and purine metabolism will make the incidence rate of these diseases rise significantly.
