Middle-aged men tend to gain weight. What will happen to men after they gain weight?

Men are almost all carnivores, so they are more likely to gain weight than women. So what are the negative effects of obesity on men? Let's find out with me.

There are 5 harmful effects of excessive obesity in men

1. High blood pressure

If the waist circumference increases between the ages of 20 and 30, the incidence of hypertension is 1 times higher than that of people with normal waist circumference of the same age; if the waist circumference increases between the ages of 40 and 50, the incidence of hypertension is 50% higher than that of people with normal waist circumference of the same age.

2. More prone to hyperlipidemia

Studies have shown that people with abdominal obesity are several times more likely to suffer from hypercholesterolemia and hypertriglyceridemia than ordinary people. And they often have "what should be high is not high, and what should be low is not low" - low-density lipoprotein and very low-density lipoprotein are abnormally high, while high-density lipoprotein, which should be high, is reduced.

3. More prone to cerebral atherosclerosis

Their cerebral blood vessels are hard and fragile, and can easily rupture under the influence of high blood pressure, causing dangerous cerebral hemorrhage and even endangering life. Statistics show that the incidence of cerebral hemorrhage in men with thick waist circumference is 3.6 times that of normal men; foreign studies have shown that under the same obesity level, the incidence of cerebral infarction in abdominal obesity (thick waist) is 3-5 times higher than that in hip obesity (hip obesity). Moreover, compared with people with normal waist circumference, people with thick waist have significantly lower body recovery ability after stroke.

4. The incidence of angina and sudden death is higher

Some scholars have suggested that people whose waist circumference exceeds the standard waist circumference by more than 30% have a greatly increased chance of developing coronary heart disease within 10 years.

5. Diabetes may occur, especially type 2 diabetes

Men with thick waists are four times more likely to develop diabetes than men with normal waists. On the other hand, 80% of people with type 2 diabetes have waists that exceed the standard. Moreover, the longer the waist is above the standard, the greater the chance of developing diabetes.
