Reduce the risk of heart disease

Extra weight and risk of heart disease - It is almost impossible to separate from one to another. A study of over three million people found that excess weight increased the risk of heart disease, stroke and high blood pressure.

The study, published in the European Heart Journal, states that the risk of cardiovascular and cardiovascular physical problems increases if the body mass index (BMI) level is higher than 22-23 kg per square meter.

It is also said, the increase in the fat on the waist, the risk of disease increases.

The major researcher of the research, British University of Glasgow, Stamatina Elodondi said, "If BMI Index levels are between 22-23cg per square meter, it is possible to reduce the risk of heart disease."

Extra weight increases the risk of heart disease - many studies have shown that. However, some research indicates the reverse.

Having cardiovascular disease may not be related to obesity or excessive eating, especially in the elderly. Rather than maintaining good health at a moderate level, it may give extra weight to protect from these diseases.

This situation is called the 'Obesity Paradox'.

However, the research in this topic rejected the idea. Elliadromety said, "The wrong idea that fat may be good for heart changes."

Researchers found that BMI index levels increased to 22 kg per square meter, increase of 5 kgs per women for women and 4.3kg for men increased the risk of cardiovascular disease by 13 percent.

Ilodondito said that this is the biggest proof against the concept of "Obesity Paradox". This concept may be true for other diseases. For example - cancer. A little extra weight in this disease can reduce the risk of disease. Because, cancer and its treatment reduce weight in unhealthy levels. "
