What are the health risks of gaining weight?

  First, is the great enemy of health and longevity According to statistics, the incidence of cerebral embolism and heart failure of obese people is twice as high than normal weight people, suffering from coronary heart disease than normal weight people more than two times, the incidence of hypertension than normal weight people more than two to six times, combined with diabetes than normal people about 4 times higher, combined with gallstone disease than normal people four to six times higher, more serious is the life expectancy of obese people will be significantly shorter. According to reports, 10% of overweight 45-year-old men, their life expectancy than normal weight people to shorten 4 years, with Japanese statistics show that the standard mortality rate of 100%, the mortality rate of obese people for 127.9%.  Second, affect the labor force, prone to trauma Body obese people are often afraid of heat, sweating, easy fatigue, swelling of the lower limbs, varicose veins, skin folds suffer from dermatitis, etc., seriously obese people, slow action, walking activities are difficult, a little activity will be panic and shortness of breath, so as to affect normal life, and even lead to serious labor force loss. As obese people slow action response, also vulnerable to various trauma, car accidents, fractures and sprains, etc..  Third, obesity and intellectual decline A 24-year medical research report in Sweden pointed out that the phenomenon of female star obesity should not be ignored, those women whose weight exceeds the normal range, their intellectual performance will not be satisfactory. For overweight 60% of the women, they will be with each increase of 1 kg of fat and performance of intellectual decline. In addition, the report also shows that obesity can also trigger dementia in older women. Researchers also pointed out that obese people will produce excessive amounts of the hormone cortisone in the body, this hormone can lead to brain tissue damage.  Fourth, overweight and obese women have a significantly higher risk of breast cancer, especially after menopause, the risk can increase 4.15-12.38 times. Women’s abdomen-based obesity is fusiform, and hip- and thigh-based obesity is pear-shaped. American scholars analyzed 216 breast cancer patients and found that the ratio of waist circumference to hip circumference is greater than 0.77, and the relative risk of breast cancer is 6 times higher than that of normal people. Women’s hips and thighs fat is not easy to eliminate, while relatively small impact on breast cancer and cardiovascular disease. The opposite is true for abdominal obesity, which is easy to eliminate and has a greater potential hazard for cardiovascular disease and breast cancer. Investigation shows that women who do not exercise the risk of breast cancer, 1.86 times higher than those who like to exercise.  V. Obesity and lung failure The role of lung function is to supply oxygen to the whole body and expel and expel carbon dioxide. Obese people need more oxygen because of weight gain, but the lungs can not increase the function, at the same time, obese people abdominal fat accumulation and restrict the breathing movement of the lungs, so it can cause hypoxia and breathing difficulties, and finally lead to heart and lung failure.
