Abdominal fat increases the risk of death

The new study shows that ring 2 weight increases the risk of bleeding leading to death from aortic rupture - the largest blood vessel in the body.

>>> Thesecret relationship between belly fat and heart disease

Although many people are aware that overweight and obesity is the cause of cardiovascular disease, stroke, diabetes. This is the first study to show an association of overweight with abdominal aortic aneurysm, the disease that kills 12,000 Britons a year.

Abdominal fat increases the risk of aortic aneurysm leading to death from a rupture of blood vessels.

Scientists at the Karolinska Institute, Stockholm, Sweden conducted a long-term follow-up of 63,000 women and men aged 46 to 84. These people were measured periodically within 10 years.

The results showed that each time the waist of these people increased by 5cm - the risk of rupture of arteries increased to 15%, the discovery was published in the UK Journal of Surgery.

The aorta holds the important task of bringing oxygen-rich blood from the center through the abdomen to the body parts. When uncontrollably swollen for many years, these arteries will explode like a car tire leading to bleeding to death.

Some people suffer from back pain when they are sick, but many others do not experience any symptoms.

The aortic walls in the human body contain tissues called elastic and collagen - which provide flexibility and flexibility when the blood circulates but these tissues will age when we get older.

The normal diameter of the aorta is 20mm. Arteries are considered bulges when the diameter exceeds 30mm. The patient may have surgery to avoid the risk of death but most doctors will refuse surgery if the artery diameter exceeds 50mm.
