Thin people have a higher risk of diabetes and cardiovascular disease

 A recent German survey found that nearly one-fifth of lean people are at high risk for diabetes and cardiovascular disease. These people are mainly fat-deficient, especially in the legs. The survey was completed by the German Diabetes Research Center and the Helmholtz Center and published in the professional journal Cell Metabolism.

Thin people have a higher risk of diabetes and cardiovascular disease

        People are used to thinking that slimness is healthy, but it is not entirely true. According to the sample survey, almost 20% of people with moderate body weight are sub-healthy people with metabolic problems, and their risk of cardiovascular disease and death is three times higher than that of people with metabolic health, even more than normal metabolism. Fat people are even higher.

        The researchers surveyed 981 thin people and found that 18% of the respondents had impaired metabolic function, mainly characterized by abdominal obesity, hypertension, hypertriglyceridemia, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, and insulin resistance. And impaired glucose tolerance.


        The researchers also used magnetic resonance spectroscopy to detect the body fat distribution and liver fat of the respondents, and found that there were very few fats on the thighs of the problematic lean people, indicating that they had lipodystrophy. In addition, the problematic lean human insulin secretion is abnormal, which directly affects blood vessels and physical fitness. Professor Stephen, who is in charge of the survey, concluded that lean people have a higher risk of metabolic problems with the loss of fat on their legs, so it cannot be said that slenderness is healthy. Normally, lean people are more likely to have a metabolic derailment risk than fat people who are not alcoholic liver.

        Experts suggest that lean people should pay more attention to the characteristics of metabolic syndrome. When the fat in the leg is missing, check whether there is a metabolic defect, adjust the original lifestyle in time, or go to the hospital for appropriate treatment.
