7 diseases that fat men are prone to get

　　With the improvement of living standards and changes in lifestyle, more and more men are becoming obese in modern times. So, what diseases are fat men prone to?

　　1. diabetes

　　Obesity and diabetes are closely related. A survey of more than 310,000 people in 14 provinces and cities in my country shows that the incidence of diabetes in the normal population is 0. 26%, while the incidence rate among overweight people is 2. 82%, more than 10 times the former. Obese people eat more than the body needs. Excessive eating stimulates the pancreatic islets to secrete excess insulin, leading to hyperinsulinemia. Since the cells of obese people are insensitive to insulin, insulin secretion will be further promoted, which will increase the load on the pancreatic islets and lead to the proliferation and hypertrophy of the islet cells. In the long term, it can lead to pancreatic islet failure and diabetes. In addition, obesity is often accompanied by Hyperlipidemia Disease, hyperlipidemia often occurs, which increases free fatty acids, aggravates glucose metabolism disorders, and is more likely to induce diabetes.

　　2. hypertension

　　Obesity is a risk factor for the development of hypertension. A survey of middle-aged and elderly people showed that the prevalence of hypertension among those with a body mass index less than 20 was 7. 55%, the prevalence of hypertension among those with body mass index between 24 and 26 is 20. 26%, and when the body mass index is greater than 28, the prevalence reaches 36. 89%. Obese people have a large increase in fat tissue, which requires increased blood volume and cardiac output to meet the body's needs. Long-term cardiac overload causes left ventricular hypertrophy and elevated blood pressure. Secondly, obese people often have hyperinsulinemia. Insulin can promote the reabsorption of sodium by the renal distal tubules, causing sodium retention and causing hypertension. In addition, the adrenal cortex function of obese people is active, the cortisol conversion rate is increased, and the hydroxylation of corticosterone and deoxycorticosterone is enhanced, which can increase blood pressure. Therefore, obesity is an important risk factor for hypertension.

　　3. Arteriosclerosis and coronary heart disease

　　Survey data shows that those with a body mass index less than 20 have a coronary heart disease prevalence rate of 4. 72%, those with a body mass index of 24-26, the prevalence of coronary heart disease is 9. 91%, and those with a body mass index greater than 28 have a prevalence rate as high as 16. 51%. Obese people often have hypertriglyceridemia, which can cause atherosclerosis. Factors such as overweight, increased body surface area, excess adipose tissue, and increased cardiac load (including increased myocardial load caused by fat deposition inside and outside the myocardium) can cause cardiac ischemia and hypoxia. Obese people reduce physical activity, and coronary collateral circulation is weakened or insufficient. All the above factors can lead to arteriosclerosis and coronary heart disease.

　　4. Respiratory insufficiency

　　clinical It is called obesity-hypoventilation syndrome, also known as hypoventilation syndrome. Extremely obese people have excessive fat on their chest and abdominal walls, which restricts their respiratory activities and causes shallow breathing. The expiratory supplementary volume is reduced, resulting in a reduction in functional residual volume, which puts the lungs in a position close to expiration. Due to the reduced tidal volume, alveolar ventilation is reduced, ventilation is restricted, resulting in carbon dioxide retention, arterial blood oxygen saturation decreases, and the patient may develop cyanosis. Due to long-term hypoxia, polycythemia can occur secondary to increased blood viscosity, increased circulatory resistance, increased cardiac load, pulmonary hypertension, and chronic pulmonary heart disease.

　　5。fatty liver

　　Obesity can cause fatty degeneration of the liver, leading to liver enlargement. In obese patients, due to long-term high-carbohydrate, high-fat diet and the presence of hyperinsulinemia, the rate of liver synthesis of triglycerides greatly exceeds the ability to transport triglycerides out of the liver, or it may cause obstacles in the transport of triglycerides by very low-density lipoprotein, leading to the accumulation of triglycerides in the liver and the occurrence of fatty liver.

　　6. bile duct disease

　　The incidence of cholecystitis and cholelithiasis in obese patients increases with the degree of obesity and age, and is related to the increased synthesis of endogenous cholesterol in the liver and other tissues of obese patients. The ratio of bile salts plus lecithin to cholesterol in normal bile is 11:1. If the cholesterol ratio increases, cholesterol will precipitate, crystallize and precipitate, easily melting and forming gallstones. Gallstones have a direct irritating effect on the gallbladder mucosa and can easily cause secondary bacterial infection and the formation of cholecystitis.

　　7. other

　　skin There may be thin light red lines distributed on the outside of the buttocks, upper inner thighs, upper abdomen, etc. Skin folds are prone to wear and tear, leading to dermatitis and ringworm. Long-term weight bearing may cause low back pain and joint disease.
