What are the hazards of obesity?

1, obese people are prone to cancer:

According to the epidemiological survey, obese women are more likely to suffer from endometrial cancer and postmenopausal breast cancer, while obese men are more likely to suffer from prostate cancer. And as long as you are obese, both men and women are more likely to suffer from colon cancer and rectal cancer. The more serious obesity is, the higher the prevalence rate of the above cancers is.

2, leading to various vascular diseases:

Obesity can easily lead to various vascular diseases. In addition to excessive subcutaneous fat accumulation, the internal organs and blood vessels of the whole body are also full of fat, so it is easy to cause a variety of vascular diseases, especially cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases that seriously endanger health and life. Relevant research data show that the incidence of hypertension in obese people is 65438 0.5 to 3 places higher than that in normal people. Moreover, the higher the degree of obesity, the higher the incidence of hypertension and the more obvious the increase of blood pressure. The incidence of hypertension in severely obese people is as high as 50%. On the contrary, if we take various measures to lose weight, our blood pressure will drop accordingly.

3, easy to induce diabetes:

Although obesity can not be said to be the direct cause of diabetes, its inducing effect on diabetes can not be ignored. Many data confirm that the heavier the obesity, the higher the incidence of diabetes. At present, diabetes is the most common disease caused by obesity in some economically developed countries. About one third of adult diabetics are obese. Almost all obese people, fasting blood sugar has increased to varying degrees.

4, easy to cause motor system diseases:

Overweight weight of obese people is an extra burden on the movement system such as bones and joints, especially on the spine and lower limbs. Bones, joints and other tissues support too much weight for a long time, just like carrying extra things every day. Over time, it is bound to break down from overwork, leading to arthritis, muscle strain or compression of spinal nerve roots, causing pain in the waist, legs, shoulders and back, and even joint deformation, which seriously affects limb activities.

5, lead to dyslipidemia:

Obese people, especially those with abdominal obesity, are more prone to hypercholesterolemia and hypertriglyceridemia, with abnormal increase of low-density lipoprotein and very low-density lipoprotein, while high-density lipoprotein decreases. At present, the reason why obese people are prone to hyperlipidemia is not very clear. The possible reasons are: firstly, eating more fat; secondly, storing more fat in the body; thirdly, hyperinsulinemia can increase blood lipids; fourthly, there is a problem in the clearance of blood lipids.

6, increase the probability of suffering from hypertension:

Obesity is closely related to hypertension. Among obese people aged 40-50, the incidence of hypertension is 50% higher than that of non-obese people. Moderately obese people are more than five times more likely to suffer from hypertension than those with normal weight and more than twice as likely to suffer from mild obesity.

7, increase the heart load:

The study found that the incidence of angina pectoris and sudden death in obese people increased by four times. This shows that obesity will definitely increase the burden on the heart and cause heart damage. The heart of a normal human body is like a water pump, constantly contracting and relaxing, maintaining the blood circulation. Obese people store too much fat in their blood, so the total amount of blood increases a lot, and the heart will also increase its contractility accordingly. When the heart is overwhelmed, it can no longer pump blood effectively, leading to the accumulation of blood in the cardiovascular system and even obvious heart failure.

8, leading to fatty liver:

About half of obese people suffer from fatty liver. The liver is the place where triglycerides are synthesized, but the liver doesn't have much extra space to store them. In obese people, the balance between triglyceride synthesis and transportation is unbalanced. Obese people consume more fatty acids, so the liver synthesizes more triglycerides. A large amount of triglycerides accumulate in the liver. The result is fatty liver.
