What are the dangers of excessive obesity in men?

People who are overweight often have abnormal sugar metabolism and even abnormal insulin metabolism, which may cause insulin resistance and thus type 2 diabetes. Among people over 40 years old, about 70% of type 2 diabetes patients develop the disease due to excessive obesity. In addition, excessive obesity is also easily accompanied by high blood lipids and high blood pressure problems, and can further induce arteriosclerosis.

The complications brought by waist obesity such as diabetes, coronary heart disease, and high blood pressure are very harmful to health. Although male friends cannot lose weight blindly, they should also avoid excessive obesity. They should control their weight within the ideal range through diet, exercise and other measures to ensure true health. When men's waists first become thicker, they are often joked that they are "fat". Many people think this is a normal phenomenon and don't take it to heart, but what needs to be paid attention to is that male waist obesity itself is not fatal, but the complications brought by obesity such as diabetes, coronary heart disease, and high blood pressure will harm physical health.

Obesity is closely related to high blood pressure. When the waist circumference increases between the ages of 20 and 30, the incidence of high blood pressure is 1 times higher than that of people with normal waist circumference at the same age; when the waist circumference increases between the ages of 40 and 50, the incidence of high blood pressure is 50% higher than that of people with normal waist circumference at the same age. Studies have shown that people with abdominal obesity have several times the risk of hypercholesterolemia and hypertriglyceridemia than ordinary people. In addition, low-density lipoprotein and very low-density lipoprotein often increase abnormally, while high-density lipoprotein, which should be high, decreases instead.

People who are overweight are more likely to have an enlarged heart and ischemic cardiomyopathy. Many obese people also have high blood lipids and abnormal glucose tolerance, which can further lead to abnormal ventricular diastolic pressure and ventricular diastolic dysfunction. Excessive obesity can also easily damage the liver, and fat people often have abnormal liver function.
