2, high blood pressure. The proportion of obese people suffering from hypertension is very large, reaching 20% ~ 50%, which is much higher than the incidence of hypertension in the general population, and this proportion will increase exponentially with the increase of obesity. The incidence of hypertension in obese patients over 40 years old increased significantly. According to relevant statistics, about 80% of obese patients in this age group suffer from hypertension between 40 and 60 years old. Therefore, obese people in this age group should pay more attention to losing weight and preventing hypertension.
3. Diabetes. According to statistics, the number of diabetic patients in obese people is four times that of non-obese people, and this proportion increases with the increase of obesity. Researchers believe that due to too many fat cells, the pancreas needs to secrete more insulin (usually 5 times-10 times normal) in order to convert sugar in the blood into energy. When the pancreas is overloaded and fails for a long time, the sugar in the blood will increase, making it unable to be fully utilized and excreted. A diabetic patient caused by obesity often loses weight, changes his condition, and the metabolic function of sugar will return to normal. Therefore, for an obese diabetic, efforts should be made to lose weight.
4. Gynecological diseases. Obese women are often prone to irregular menstruation, such as long, irregular and excessive menstruation, and hirsutism (abnormal growth of body hair caused by hormonal imbalance). Obesity can also lead to vaginal infection and some premenstrual complications, thus causing a lot of unhappiness and inconvenience. Because obese women secrete too much estrogen, when the body has too much estrogen and too little lutein, it may cause edema or brain swelling, thus gaining weight.
5, skin diseases. Obese people have weak peripheral circulation, slow response to external changes and low resistance, so they are prone to dermatitis, eczema, scabies, frostbite and other skin diseases. At the same time, because fat people sweat more, it will destroy the original function of skin to prevent infection, and it will also greatly increase the incidence of skin diseases.
6. Heart disease. Because of the increase of fat and weight, the oxygen and nutrients consumed by the human body also need to increase. This requires extra efforts of the heart to strengthen contraction and deliver more blood, so as to deliver enough blood to various tissues and organs of the body to meet the needs of the body. This greatly increases the burden on the heart, affects the function of the heart and increases the risk of heart disease. This is especially obvious for women. Researchers in Boston, USA, have studied116,000 women aged 30-35 for many years, and found that the risk of heart disease of women with a height of1.66m and a weight of 62kg-67kg is 65,438 higher than that of women with the same height but less than 57kg (normal weight). The risk of heart disease of women with the same height and weight of 68kg ~ 78kg is 1.8 times that of women with normal weight. According to the survey, obesity is more likely to cause heart disease than smoking.
7. Cancer. After investigating many obese people, the American Cancer Society found that if an obese person's weight is more than 40% higher than the standard weight of his peers, his chances of developing endometrial cancer are 5.5 times that of normal people. The risk of gallbladder cancer is 3.9 times; The probability of getting cervical cancer is 2.4 times; The chance of getting breast cancer is 1.5 times. Another study pointed out that women's weight generally exceeds the standard weight 15 kg? 25 kg, her uterine cancer is three times the normal weight; If she is more than 25 kilograms above the standard weight, her chance of suffering from the disease is as high as that of normal people 10 times.
8, liver disease. As we all know, in addition to the healthy parts, there are a small amount of harmful substances in food, which need to be filtered and cleaned by the liver. Obese people usually eat more than normal people and consume more harmful substances, which makes the toxins in the liver accumulate too much and increases the burden on the liver. At the same time, the body's fat accumulates in the liver, which also easily leads to fatty liver.
9, coronary heart disease. Not all obese people are prone to coronary heart disease, only those with a particularly large stomach are prone to coronary heart disease. Dr. Smith from the University of Gothenburg, Sweden, measured the waist circumference and hip circumference of 1500 men and women after a study of 13 years, and calculated the ratio of the two, and then made a long-term follow-up, and concluded that people with high waist circumference and hip circumference have higher risk of coronary heart disease than normal people. This is because the fat accumulated in the abdomen is easier to enter the blood than the fat in other parts, so it is more likely to cause arteriosclerosis. Men have more abdominal fat and women have more hip and thigh fat, so men with paunch should pay more attention to lose weight to reduce the risk of coronary heart disease.
10, respiratory diseases. Due to the large increase of adipose tissue in the body, it brings extra burden to the human body and increases the consumption of oxygen by 30% ~ 40%. The increase of abdominal subcutaneous fat and the deposition of abdominal wall and abdominal fat increase the burden of breathing activities and increase the difficulty of breathing. Therefore, obese people often suffer from shortness of breath and fatigue due to decreased lung function and insufficient alveolar ventilation. Afraid of heat and sweating. At the same time, due to the accumulation of a large amount of fat in the neck of obese people, the trachea is squeezed, the airflow is not smooth when breathing, and it is difficult to breathe, which leads to long-term hypoxia in the brain and other tissues of the body. Obese people will feel insufficient sleep and are prone to fatigue. The more obese people sleep, the easier they get fat, the fatter they sleep, and the fatter they sleep, forming a vicious circle. This phenomenon is called sleep disorder syndrome. Once the disease worsens, there may be pulmonary heart disease syndrome, a clinical syndrome characterized by respiratory and blood circulation disorders. Patients will have symptoms such as dyspnea, inability to lie down, rapid heartbeat, edema, unconsciousness, drowsiness, etc. This disease is very dangerous and needs to be rescued in time. Of course, this disease only happens when the respiratory circulation of severely obese people is greatly hindered, so generally there is no need to worry too much.
1 1, kidney problems. Kidney is an important excretory organ of human body, and its main function is to remove wastes and toxins from blood and maintain the balance of salt, water and other substances. Generally speaking, the body is too obese and overweight, which is easy to hurt the main organs of the body, because hypertension and diabetes are closely related to obesity, both of which are the main causes of kidney diseases.
12, backache. Too much fat and overweight body will add too much bending tension to back muscles, ligaments and fascia. This will often cause back pain and form chronic back diseases over time. In addition, a bulging abdomen is particularly prone to back pain.
13, diseases of joints and limbs. Obese people are heavy, which increases the weight borne by the spine, pelvis and lower limbs. In addition, the circulatory function is reduced, the supply of peripheral circulation is insufficient, and joints are prone to various degenerative diseases. At the same time, due to the insufficient supply of oxygen and nutrients, the body's disease resistance is reduced, which is easy to cause diseases and injuries of joints and limbs, resulting in inconvenient movement.
14, orthostatic hypotension. Standing up suddenly after squatting for a long time sometimes leads to mild cerebral ischemia, which is called orthostatic hypotension. This disease has nothing to do with anemia, but is mostly caused by the imperfect function of the mechanism that regulates blood pressure. Obese people are prone to orthostatic hypotension because of their obesity and changes in circulatory organs. Obesity increases the stored fat. Although it is not very active, it still needs tissue maintenance devices. That is, with the increase of fat, the blood vessels that transport blood to all parts of the tissue need to increase, and the function of raising blood pressure needs to increase accordingly. If the state of the body cannot be changed accordingly (for example, in the case of rapid obesity), dysfunction will occur, leading to orthostatic hypotension.
