Obesity not only affects the beauty of the body, but also brings inconvenience to life, more importantly, it is easy to cause a variety of complications, accelerate aging and death. No wonder it is said that obesity is the harbinger of disease and the signal of aging. Most people are concerned about their weight from the aesthetic point of view, but the medical profession has clearly understood that obesity can cause a variety of complications, obesity disease is the biggest threat to human health and life. Obesity will mainly cause: high blood pressure The complication rate of high blood pressure in obese people can be as high as 46.3%, which is also one of the important factors of high mortality in obese people.
Diabetes Obesity is a risk factor for diabetes. Although not all obese people will complicate diabetes, there are many cases of obese people complicating diabetes. Hyperlipidemia Most obese patients will have the phenomenon of lipid metabolism disorder, hypercholesterolemia, hypertriglyceridemia, etc.
First, it is the great enemy of healthy longevity
According to statistics, the incidence of cerebral embolism and heart failure in obese people is twice as high as normal weight people, suffering from coronary heart disease is two times more than normal weight people, the incidence of hypertension is two to six times more than normal weight people, combined with diabetes is about four times higher than normal people, combined with gallstone disease is four to six times higher than normal people, more serious is the life expectancy of obese people will be significantly shortened. 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 is 127.9%.
Second, affect the labor force, easy to suffer trauma
Obese people tend to be 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, which affects the normal life, and even lead to the loss of labor force in serious cases.
Third, prone to coronary heart disease and hypertension
Coronary heart disease Obesity makes physical activity reduce, lead to coronary artery collateral circulation weaken or insufficient, and then induce coronary heart disease. Gallstone disease, gout Obese people compared with normal people, cholesterol content in bile acid increased, more than the solubility in bile, so obese people are easy to complicate a high proportion of cholesterol stones. Gout patients are mostly obese people who are accustomed to a high protein diet.
Proliferative osteoarthritis Obese people are the most common complication of spinal proliferative lesions, followed by the complication of hip and knee joint proliferative lesions, which is the reason why obese people often feel back pain and leg pain. Uterine cancer Obesity is not only a scourge of cardiovascular disease, but also a precipitating factor of uterine cancer. Research shows that obesity has become a high-risk factor for gynecological tumors, especially endometrial cancer.
Obese people have more adipose tissue, increased oxygen consumption, and large amount of work done by the heart, which makes the heart muscle hypertrophy, especially the burden on the left ventricle increases, and it is easy to induce hypertension in the long run. Lipid deposition in the arterial wall, resulting in luminal narrowing, hardening, prone to coronary heart disease, angina pectoris, stroke and sudden death.
Fourth, prone to endocrine and metabolic diseases
Along with obesity caused by the metabolism, endocrine abnormalities, often can cause a variety of diseases. Abnormal glucose metabolism can cause diabetes, abnormal fat metabolism can cause hyperlipidemia, abnormal nucleic acid metabolism can cause hyperuricemia, etc. Obese women because of ovarian dysfunction can cause menstrual disorders.
Five, the lung function has a negative impact
The role of lung function is to supply oxygen to the whole body and expel carbon dioxide. Obese people need more oxygen because of weight increase, 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.
Six, easy to cause liver and gallbladder lesions
Because the obese person’s high insulinemia makes its endogenous triglyceride synthesis hyperactive, it will cause in the liver synthesis of triglyceride accumulation thus forming fatty liver. The cholesterol content in bile acid increases in obese people compared with normal people and exceeds the solubility in bile, so obese people are prone to a high proportion of cholesterol stones, and it has been reported that 50 to 80% of women suffering from gallstone disease are obese people. At the time of surgery, about 30% of highly obese people have gallstones in combination.
Gallstone disease is more frequent in the following cases: obese women, over 40 years old, and the incidence of gallstones is about six times higher in obese people compared with normal weight women.
Seven, will increase the difficulty of surgery, easy to infect after surgery
Obese people will increase the risk of anesthesia, easy to open the wound after surgery, the chance of complications such as infection pneumonia are more than those who are not fat.
Eight, can cause joint lesions
The increase of weight can make many joints (such as spine, shoulder, elbow, hip, foot joints) wear or tear and cause pain.
Nine, complications hernia
Obese people can complicate many hernias, including the upper part of the stomach to the upper part of the chest in the most common esophageal hiatus hernia. Breast cancer Overweight and obese women have a significantly higher risk of breast cancer.
