A new large-scale international research projects showed that overweight people and giant fat by controlling blood pressure, cholesterol and blood sugar, reduce the risk of heart disease by 50% and 75% of the risk of stroke.
The findings are published in the "Lancet" magazine November 22, 2013, which is the world's largest study to date. Studies have shown that by lifestyle changes and drug treatment, so obese people can lose weight even if failure is obtained through risk control wholesome benefits, control of blood pressure is particularly important.
Goodarz Danaei assistant professor at Harvard School of Public Health in Boston is a leader in global health research experts. He said that, despite the above findings, however, obese persons still face higher health risk than the general population.
"Different angles different way of looking." He said. "People still need to control their weight to get healthy."
This finding makes sense for most adults in the United States. According to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the United States there are about two-thirds of adults overweight weight, about one-third had high blood pressure - and half of patients with hypertension is not to control blood pressure.
In this research project, researchers from Harvard University and the University of British Imperial College, Sydney statistics 180 more than one million researchers 97 research institutions around the world data. Researchers distinguish between normal weight according to the BMI index and overweight, and they are the same age, the same sex to be compared, respectively.
Research has been tracking for years, and as expected, the giant fat and overweight are more prone to stroke and heart disease, and more likely to have high blood pressure, high cholesterol and high blood sugar. The aim of this study is not just to understand and giant fat overweight health risks, but to understand the risk factors for stroke and heart disease risk increased probability amplitude.
The results tell us that the following facts:
The risk of loss of control will be an additional 76% of stroke patients blood pressure, cholesterol and blood sugar of these three risk factors and the risk of heart disease by 46%.
Hypertension extra 65% increase in risk of suffering from stroke and 31 percent risk of heart disease.
Cholesterol and blood sugar although the health effects of blood pressure is less than, but still very important.
Lack appear to influence the heaviest researchers are smaller than the other risk factors for mild obesity. This means that those lighter weight obesity may be due to obesity did not fully understand the health problems, thus making them more likely to suffer from stroke and heart disease.
"This study has some limitations, small-scale research projects to be part of the exercise and diet control researchers know enough about the lack of information." Danaei said, "but this study a huge sample size reduces these uncertainties." Whether in the West or Asia, in developed and developing countries, the impact of these risk factors are equally significant.
"This is a very good study, and its findings are consistent with previous reports of." Professor Carlos Lorenzo from the University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio said. He was not involved in the research project. "However, we also need to study more other aspects, for example, may be accompanied by changes in obesity and inflammation of the nervous system, they will bring more health risks for obesity itself is whether health risk still exists a continuing debate. "
University of Colorado at Denver physician Adam Tsai said that while weight control and cardiovascular risk factors is a good choice. Adam Tsai not only specialized in treatment of obesity, is also the spokesman for the American Obesity Association. "For most people, by medication to control blood pressure than weight loss and maintain body weight rebound is not easier." Adam Tsai said.
Adam Tsai said that while patients should also know that through the unremitting lose weight to get more healthy benefits. According to data of the National Center for Disease Control, obesity will not only increase the risk of diabetes and certain types of cancer the chance, will increase the risk of sleep apnea syndrome, osteoarthritis and other diseases to chance. American Obesity Association, the American Heart Association and the American Heart Association has released a new doctor treating outline its objectives is to encourage doctors to focus on common diseases like the same active concern obesity.
