Obesity, which is linked to human papilloma virus (HPV) infection, has now become a common problem in India. The risk of diseases caused by obesity is increasing in both men and women. Recently a new study has come out, in which the diseases caused by obesity have been explained in detail. Body obesity is measured by BMI (Body Mass Index). BMI is calculated on the basis of a person's weight and height and it tells whether the person's weight is appropriate for his height or not. If your BMI is more than 23, you may become a victim of obesity, which can cause many serious diseases.
Major diseases caused by obesity
Recently, in a study conducted by doctors of AIIMS Delhi, Diabetes Association and Fortis Hospital, it has been found that having BMI more than 23 has negative effects on health. This study also states that obesity can cause diseases like diabetes, heart diseases and hypertension.
Deep connection between obesity and diabetes
There is a deep connection between obesity and diabetes. Type 2 diabetes is caused by obesity, because insulin does not work properly in the body of obese people, due to which the sugar level increases. Accumulation of fat around the stomach affects metabolism and insulin functioning, which increases the risk of diabetes. Obesity can also cause inflammation in the body, which causes more serious diseases.
Which type of obesity is more dangerous?
Accumulation of excess fat around the stomach and waist increases the risk of diabetes. If a person's BMI is more than 25, he has a higher risk of developing diabetes. In such a situation, diseases like diabetes can be avoided by reducing obesity.
risk of heart disease
Obesity increases the risk of heart disease and other related problems. Fat around the abdomen can cause diseases like high blood pressure, heart attack, and heart blockage. Due to obesity, bad cholesterol starts increasing in the body, due to which the heart has to work harder to pump. Due to this, plaque starts accumulating in the arteries, which stops blood flow. This increases the risk of heart attack and heart failure.
Hypertension and effect on the brain
Obesity can also cause hypertension (high blood pressure), which increases the risk of brain stroke. Obesity puts pressure on the blood vessels of the brain, due to which blood cannot reach the brain and can lead to problems like stroke.
Awareness is important to avoid obesity. By keeping BMI under control, you can avoid serious diseases. If BMI is more than 23, then health can be improved by making changes in lifestyle.
