Causes cardiovascular disease
Accumulating too much fat will increase the burden on the heart, cause circulatory disorders, and reduce the amount of oxygen supplied to heart muscle cells. At the same time, it causes chest tightness and difficulty breathing, palpitations, fatigue, precordial pain, and even leads to heart failure.
Causes chronic diseases
Increased visceral fat will significantly increase the risk of high blood pressure, high blood sugar and blood lipids. Studies have found that the incidence of diabetes in obese people is 4-5 times higher than in normal people and 80% of type 2 diabetics are obese.
Effects on reproduction
When a woman’s visceral fat is too high, hormone levels can be disturbed, menstruation is irregular, and even the development of ovarian follicles can be affected. When a man’s visceral fat is too high, it will affect sperm motility.
Causes bone and joint diseasesOverweight or obese patients are susceptible to compression of bones and joints, leading to the lumbar spine and lower limb joints having to bear greater loads, making them susceptible to osteoarthritis.
