Always obese to the body’s harm

According to the U.S. “Medical Daily” on July 14 contains an article, obesity most harm the human heart, colon, brain, skin, lungs five organs. Therefore, the annual physical examination of obese people should pay special attention to the indicators related to these five organs. Heart physical examination should focus on both the heart itself and cardiovascular health. Why does obesity hurt the heart? When there is excess fat tissue in the body, the heart must provide more blood oxygen to the fat tissue and the burden increases. In case of arterial fat accumulation is also not good, the risk of atherosclerosis is 10 times higher in obese people than in the general population. Items to check heart health Ambulatory ECG and cardiac ultrasound. The ECG tracks the dynamic rhythm and heartbeat of a person under different conditions such as eating, working, studying and sleeping in order to check the working condition of the heart comprehensively; the ultrasound of the heart observes the working condition of the heart through images. Items to check cardiovascular health Blood pressure, blood sugar and blood lipids. Blood vessels are inseparable from heart health, and many serious heart diseases such as heart attack and coronary heart disease are cardiovascular related. In addition, pay special attention to cholesterol indicators in blood lipids. Clinically, many patients who are over 30 years old and have bad cholesterol tips should have further cardiac examinations. Obesity injury colon, careful to drag into cancer. A study found that in the obese population, the incidence of bowel cancer is positively correlated with the degree of obesity. Therefore, obese people should pay attention to include anal examination and fecal occult blood examination in their physical examination. If necessary (such as having a family history of bowel cancer, suffering from intestinal polyps, etc.) to do colonoscopy. Obese people have 16 years of premature brain aging. According to a new study at the University of California, Los Angeles found that, compared with people of normal weight, fat people have an average of 8% less brain tissue and 16 years of premature brain failure; and the general overweight people also have 4% less brain tissue than normal people and 8 years of premature brain failure. It is understood that there are studies pointing out that the time of human brain aging may already start from the middle age period. Therefore, middle-aged obese people should pay attention to brain function and include brain CT or cerebral blood flow Doppler (TCD) in their physical examination program. In addition, obese people should maintain a healthy lifestyle, try not to smoke, and strengthen exercise in general. The skin can’t hurt. Obesity is known to cause hormonal changes in the body, which in turn can lead to acanthosis nigricans and stasis dermatitis. If conditions allow, obese people can consider adding hormone level testing to their physical exam. If there is obvious skin pigmentation, skin thickening and roughness for a period of time, and even redness and inflammation, go to the dermatology department in time to check. Abdominal obesity to “watch” the lung function. According to a French study, compared with normal weight people, abdominal obesity is twice as likely to impair lung function, and the incidence of chronic obstructive pulmonary and sleep apnea and other respiratory diseases is higher. If the male waist circumference greater than 40 inches (about 101.6 cm), female waist circumference greater than 35 inches (about 88.9 cm) to add pulmonary function tests in the physical examination, with whistling habits to do a good job to add sleep monitoring.
