The Lean People Could to Catch Those Diseases of Fat People
People who are very thin may also have some problems with their body. British scientists claim that perhaps some good-shaped people are less healthy than that those fat ones. The reason is that a lot of fat accumulated near the vital organs(such as heart, liver or pancreas) of those "slim person". These "hidden fat" are more dangerous than the fat accumulated in the skin.The reality is that the proportion of population with "hidden fat" is not low but received scant attention.
From 1994 on, a British research group has pictured the “fat distributions” inside about 800 human bodies under the help of NMR. It turned out that those who control their body weights by keeping diet instead of by exercice, though appear to be thin, fetal doppler store great amount of fat around the substantial organs. Among the people receiving scanning, about 45% of women are normal in stature but their fat is excess, even some "skinny" models, their fat content is still exceed.
Among the men of standard stature, the proportion of people with excess fat is up to 60%. Many people know that obesity often associated with diabetes, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, fatty liver and other diseases. Among the type 2 diabetic patients, 60% are overweight or obese. A report tracking the research on high blood pressure shows that around 60% of the patients suffering from this disease are fat. Fatness is the dangerous factor most frequently met and rather certain in causing fatty liver.
It is found in physical examinations that 72% to 95% fatty liver patients are fat, or even 100%. Experts found that "recessive fat" is the high-risk population of the above diseases. The main reason on causing obese individuals to get diabetic easily is lots of fattiness stored in the abdomen to make the small fat cells bigger. The big fat cells produce a kind of hormone which is against sugar metabolism and reduces the effect of insulin in lowing blood glucose. This is known as Insulin Resistance on medicine.
Although the total amount of body fat is very important, but the more important is the distribution of fat. In fact, the threat of abdominal fat to health is much larger than the fat on hips or other parts of the body. In previous years, heart rate monitor the degree of obesity is determined by body mass index (BMI). Body Mass Index = body weight (kg) / height (m) 2. At present, it is viewed that waist circumference is the best single indicator to assess fat distribution, prediction of cardiovascular disease risk factors.
The simple index to judge abdominal obesity is that man waistline >85cm and woman waistline 80cm. A study shows that even though the BMI is normal, if the waistline is over 102 centimeters, the chances developing the diabetes will increase by 3.5 times.
In addition, the University of Copenhagen, Denmark, the latest study found that compared with those thin thighs, those thick thighs have a lower cardiovascular risk. Studies have shown that men and women thigh thickness is related with the incidence of cardiovascular disease and total mortality: thigh circumference below 60cm will be more likely suffer premature death and cardiovascular disease. Many experts point out that the fatty who love sports has better health than those slim but less active. For example, many sumo athletes of great stature may be healthier than the slender spectators in the audience. This is because the fat of sumo wrestlers is hidden under the skin rather than around substantial body organs or muscles.
