The dangers of obesity in the middle-aged and older age groups
With the growth of age, dietary disorders and reduced activity, resulting in obesity in the middle-aged and elderly people not only make the external body type bloated, mobility; and on the health of the body to bring great harm, contributing to the occurrence of a variety of diseases and premature aging.
(1) The accumulation of excessive fat, first of all, causing weight overload, so that the body is prone to fatigue; this makes the obese people are more reluctant to activities, the result is more obese, as the so-called the more fat the lazier, the lazier the more fat, the formation of a vicious circle, which is also due to the excessive body weight is very easy to cause joints sprains or the lower limbs of the lower limb weakness and fall and fracture.
(2) Most of the fat excess blood fat is high, which causes hyperlipidaemia, and fat deposits in the blood vessel wall to form atherosclerosis, when this atherosclerosis appears in the heart of the coronary arteries is what we often refer to as coronary heart disease, if it occurs in the cerebral vasculature will induce a cerebral thrombosis stroke. According to clinical data statistics, obese people appear coronary heart disease, cerebrovascular accidents and diabetes incidence than normal people 5 times higher, the incidence of hypertension is 3.5 times higher, cholelithiasis is 3 times higher, ventilation disease is 2.5 times higher, women's infertility is 2.5 ~ 3 times higher.
(3) In addition to the increase of abdominal fat in obese middle-aged and elderly people, too much fat will also be stored in the heart and liver, forming fatty heart or fatty liver, which directly affects the function of the heart and liver, such as making the heart cavity relatively smaller, the blood volume is insufficient to reduce the pulse output; thus leading to different degrees of obstacles to the blood circulation of the whole body, the first thing is that the brain and the heart are ischemic and hypoxic, which not only causes dizziness, headache, memory loss and irritability, but also is the main pathological basis for inducing heart disease; fatty liver reduces the detoxification function of the liver. It not only causes dizziness, headache, memory loss and irritability, but also is the main pathological basis of inducing heart disease; fatty liver reduces the detoxification function of the liver.
(4) Epidemiological studies have also confirmed that, as obese people are mostly hypercholesterolemic patients, the macrophages and lymphocytes that play an immune function in their bodies contain appropriate amount of cholesterol, which leads to a great reduction in their phagocytosis function, therefore, there is a close correlation between the obese people and small intestinal cancer, liver cancer, bladder cancer, gastric cancer, uterine cancer and breast cancer, and males are more prone to suffer from rectal cancer.
