Obese people are prone to hypertension, diabetes, hyperlipidemia, sleep apnea syndrome, heart disease and other diseases.
1. Hypertension: Obese patients generally have higher blood lipids, high blood lipids may cause premature hardening of blood vessels, decreased vascular elasticity leading to hypertension.
2. Diabetes: insulin can convert glucose into fat, obese patients with high fat content, more likely to appear insulin resistance, and from induced diabetes.
3. Hyperlipidemia: Obese patients generally have high calorie intake and fat metabolism disorder, which makes them prone to hyperlipidemia.
4. Sleep apnea syndrome: obesity may lead to respiratory smooth muscle hypertrophy, airway narrowing, elevated breathing resistance, sleep apnea syndrome.
5. Heart disease: obese patients with increased cardiac work, but the contractility of the heart muscle itself decreases, and is prone to compensatory hypertrophy of the heart muscle. At the same time, obese patients are prone to coronary atherosclerosis, affecting myocardial blood supply.
Obesity is more harmful, obese people can consult the Department of Nutrition or Endocrinology, under the guidance of physicians to improve lifestyle and develop healthy dietary programs.
