13-year-old boy weighs 150 pounds and has big breasts

When the boy was 13 years old, his weight had reached 150 kilograms, which is a manifestation of excessive obesity. Excessive obesity has a great impact on human health. For example, it will increase the mortality rate and lead to high-risk diseases such as hypertension, coronary heart disease, diabetes, cholecystitis, etc. Therefore, for patients with excessive obesity, certain methods must be taken to lose weight. The following is a detailed introduction to the harm of excessive obesity.

1. Increased mortality

The mortality rate of obese people is significantly higher than that of normal-weight people. As the weight increases, the mortality rate also increases. Studies have shown that the mortality rate of obese people due to diabetes is significantly higher than that of normal-weight people, at 38.3% (male) and 37.2% (female); followed by the mortality rate of patients with cirrhosis, appendicitis, and cholelithiasis, which is also about doubled in obese people; the mortality rate of cardiovascular, kidney disease and accidents is also higher.

2. Hypertension

Obese people are more likely to suffer from hypertension than non-obese people. Obese people often have increased cardiac output and blood volume, but in obese people with normal blood pressure, peripheral vascular resistance is reduced, while in obese people with hypertension, peripheral vascular resistance is normal or increased. Hypertension is an important factor in the high mortality rate of obesity.

3. Coronary Heart Disease

Obese people are more likely to develop coronary heart disease than non-obese people. The reasons are:

① Weight exceeds the standard weight, causing increased burden on the heart and high blood pressure;

② Obese people like to eat greasy food and consume too much saturated fatty acids, which promotes the formation of atherosclerosis;

③ Hypertriglyceridemia, hypercholesterolemia and hyperlipoproteinemia increase blood viscosity and blood coagulation, making it easy to develop atherosclerosis, microcirculatory disorders and coronary artery embolism;

④ Reduced physical activity weakens or insufficiencies in the coronary collateral circulation. At the same time, obesity increases the weight burden, which is also one of the reasons that promote heart failure caused by coronary heart disease.

4. Diabetes

The incidence of type 2 diabetes in obese patients is 4 times higher than that in non-obese adults. Obesity is often an early manifestation of diabetes. About 40% to 60% of type 2 diabetes patients who develop the disease in middle age or older have overeating and obesity at the onset and in the early stages. The incidence of diabetes is directly proportional to obesity. Obese diabetics eat too much before the onset of the disease, which stimulates excessive β cells and causes diabetes when they compensate.

5. Cholecystitis, cholelithiasis and fatty liver

Due to obesity, digestive and liver dysfunction, high-calorie diet, greasy food and lipid metabolism disorder, the cholesterol reaches saturation and gallstones occur, mainly cholesterol stones. Its incidence is 1 times higher than that of normal weight. Cholelithiasis can cause biliary cramps, and acute or chronic cholecystitis occurs during secondary infection. 68% to 94% of obese patients have fatty degeneration in their livers, and more than half of the liver cells have fat infiltration, accounting for 25% to 35%. The fatty acid and triglyceride concentrations in the liver of obese people are higher than those of normal people.

6. Infection

Obese people have reduced resistance to infection and are more susceptible to respiratory infections. The incidence of pneumonia is higher. The folds of the skin are easily abraded, causing dermatitis. The incidence of skin ulcers, urinary tract and digestive tract infections is also high. It has been reported that the incidence of appendicitis is twice that of normal people. In acute infections, serious injuries, surgical operations and anesthesia, obese people have poor stress response, often have a serious condition, have low tolerance for surgery and anesthesia, slow recovery after surgery, and increased complications and mortality;

In addition, obese people's body reactions become slow, making them more susceptible to various traumas, car accidents and other accidents, and are prone to fractures and serious limb injuries.
