The big boat was more exposed to a heart attack

In a study published on Monday in the European Journal of Cardiology, it shows that a large boat is most exposed to a heart attack.

According to researchers, the result is the most obvious in men. Dr. Hanier Mohammad of the Karolinska Institute in Stockholm says that obesity in the abdominal part increases many risks of cardiac arrest in the future.

The study was conducted in 22,000 Swedish patients after their first heart attack and saw links between the waist perimeter and events caused by arteries blocked as fatal and not fatal heart attacks. Patients attended for nearly four years, with 1,232 men (7.3%) and 469 women (7.9%) experiencing a heart attack or a stroke of «brain.

Most patients: 78% of men and 90% of women had ventilations, defined as a total of 94cm or larger waist perimeter for men, and 80cm or larger for women.

The study found that the fat of the abdomen was linked to heart attacks and attacks independent of other risk factors such as smoking, diabetes, hypertension, body mass index.

The researchers pointed out that beli's perimeter was a more important marker than general obesity and advised doctors to measure their patient's waist to identify them at risk.

However, they said that the connection was stronger and more linear in men, who made up about three quarters of patients involved in the study than women did.

The reason for this may depend on the type of fat he is trying to depend on the belly of men and women. Mohammad said some studies suggested that men may have more fat that goes deep inside your body and ends up around your vital organs.

This fat can become cholesterol that can begin to collect together and strengthen your arteries, perhaps eventually leading to a heart attack or stroke.

In women it is thought that a larger part of the fat of the abdomen is made up of subsurgeon fat, which is relatively harmless” means Mohammadi.

The risk of cardiovascular disease, such as heart attacks, is considered to be higher in those with waist perimeters of over 94cm in men and over 80cm in women, according to the World Health Organization. The danger is thought to increase significantly in men with more than six inches [1 102 cm] wide and 8 inches [ 88 cm] in women.
