Let’s take a look at what kind of chronic diseases obesity can cause, obesity can lead to what diseases? Obesity can lead to a lot of diseases, for example, children’s obesity will lead to children with mental retardation, slow growth and other phenomena, middle-aged and elderly obesity will appear high blood pressure, high blood cholesterol, diabetes, etc., these diseases deeply disturbed by the middle-aged and elderly friends of the obesity, women’s obesity will be endocrine disorders, menstrual disorders and other symptoms, to the female friends to bring trouble! First, diabetes, obese people eat more than the body needs, long-term can lead to pancreatic islet failure and diabetes. In addition, obesity is often accompanied by hyperlipidemia, often fat metabolism hyperactivity, so that free fatty acids rise, aggravate the sugar metabolism disorders, more likely to induce diabetes affects our health. Second, high blood pressure, obese people with a large increase in adipose tissue, must increase blood volume and cardiac output in order to meet the body’s needs, long-term cardiac overload makes the left ventricle hypertrophy, elevated blood pressure. In addition, obese people have hyperinsulinemia, insulin can promote the reabsorption of sodium in the distal tubules of the kidneys, causing sodium retention and hypertension. Third, atherosclerosis and coronary heart disease, obese people have hypertriglyceridemia, which can cause atherosclerosis. Overweight, increased body surface area, excessive adipose tissue, increased cardiac load and other factors can cause cardiac ischemia and hypoxia, obesity reduces physical activity, making the coronary artery collateral circulation weakened or insufficient. Fourth, fatty liver Obesity can cause fatty degeneration of the liver, resulting in liver enlargement. Obese patients due to long-term high-carbohydrate, high-fat diet, as well as most of the existence of hyperinsulinemia, so that the rate of liver synthesis of triglyceride greatly exceeds the ability to transport it out of the liver, or cause very low-density lipoprotein transport triglyceride obstacles, leading to the accumulation of triglyceride in the liver and the occurrence of fatty liver. Because obesity can cause not only type 2 diabetes, but also hypertension, hyperlipidemia, coronary heart disease, polycystic ovary syndrome. Therefore, weight loss is the nemesis of many chronic diseases. Many patients after weight loss not only lower blood sugar, fatty liver, hypertension and other problems have been links to improve. So, how do you know if you are obese? We can calculate the BMI index: BMI index = weight ÷ height squared Between 18-24 is a normal weight, 24-27.5 is overweight, 27.5 or more belong to the obese. BMI index of 32 or more of the purely obese patients we will recommend treatment through surgery. Because at that time exercise is already a burden. For example, if a person is 1.78M tall and weighs 110KG, his BMI = 110÷1.78÷1.78=34.7
