Whether obesity can cause stroke is a topic of concern to many obese people. So, what does obesity mean? A person whose weight is more than 20% of the standard weight is called obese. There is a simple formula to calculate the standard weight, that is, the standard weight (kg) is equal to the height (cm) minus 105, such as a person’s height is 165 cm, his standard weight: 165-105 = 60 kg. Obesity according to its degree, divided into light, moderate and heavy three obesity degree more than the standard weight of 25% ~ 34% for light, more than the standard weight of 35% ~ 49% for moderate, more than the standard weight of more than 49% for heavy. Many data show that the chance of stroke in obese people is 40% higher than the general population, and the chance of sudden death is 1.86 times higher than the general population. Why is obesity prone to stroke? The main reason is that obese people are prone to endocrine disorders, increased cholesterol and triglyceride levels in the blood, and reduced high-density lipoprotein, which can easily lead to atherosclerosis. In addition, obesity is prone to diabetes, coronary heart disease and hypertension, all of which are risk factors for stroke. Thus, obesity should not be taken lightly, and prevention of stroke should pay attention to diet control, reduce the intake of food and high-fat food, and increase the amount of exercise to reduce the risk of obese people.
