What kind of body shape is the best in your eyes? Tall, A4 waist, pencil legs? Ordinary people often only care about the impact of the body on appearance, but in the opinion of doctors, body and health are also closely related!
1The thicker the neck, the greater the risk of cardiovascular disease.
As early as 2010, an article in the American journal "Clinical Endocrinology and Metabolism" said that researchers measured the necks of more than 3,000 research subjects, and at the same time tested blood pressure, blood lipids, blood sugar and other indicators on these people. It was found that people with thicker necks had a greater risk of cardiovascular disease.
According to the results of the expert survey of the Framingham Heart Research Society in the United States, for every 3 cm increase in neck circumference, the average reduction of HDL in men is 012 mmol l, female decreased by 015mmol L, which will cause more cholesterol in the body to be unable to be transported to the liver for normal metabolism, thereby increasing the risk of cardiovascular disease.
Normal neck circumference reference values: 38 cm for men and 35 cm for women.
2The thicker the thighs, the better the heart is likely to be.
Normal thigh circumference reference value: 46-60 cm. In this range, people with thick thighs may have a better heart.
A study of 412 men and women at the University Hospital of Copenhagen in Denmark over the past 13 years found that people with a thigh circumference of less than 46 cm had a threefold increase in mortality and a twofold increase in the risk of heart disease compared to those with a thigh circumference of 60 cm. People with a thigh circumference of more than 60 cm and strong leg muscles have a much lower risk of early death and heart disease.
3. The thicker the waist circumference, the higher the risk of cancer.
The thicker the waist circumference, the higher the risk of hypertension, hyperlipidemia, diabetes, arteriosclerosis, coronary heart disease and other diseases, and the chance of myocardial infarction and stroke will also increase, and even affect life expectancy. The study found that women with a waist circumference of more than 89 centimeters had a 79 percent higher risk of early death than women with a waist circumference of less than 71 centimeters.
The waist and abdomen are also the concentration of important organs such as the kidneys, pancreas, and liver, and if fat accumulates around each organ, it will cause corresponding diseases.
For example, accumulation in the heart will make the heart bigger and affect blood circulation; If it accumulates in the liver, it will cause fatty liver; Accumulation in the kidneys, which can cause kidney disease; Accumulation in the lungs can cause symptoms such as shortness of breath and general weakness ......
Not only that, but the World Cancer Research** has reported that for every 1 inch of waist circumference, the risk of cancer increases by 8 times.
Normal waist circumference reference value: 85 cm for men and 80 cm for women.
