Beware of the Hidden Killers Caused by Obesity: In-depth Analysis of the Health Crisis of High Cholesterol, High Blood Pressure, and Heart Disease

Most obese individuals generally have higher levels of lipids in their bodies, making them highly susceptible to hyperlipidemia. Hyperlipidemia refers to a condition where the concentration of blood lipid components such as cholesterol, triglycerides, and total lipids exceeds normal levels. Since cholesterol and triglycerides are insoluble in water and must bind to lipoproteins to be transported in the body, hyperlipidemia is also known as hyperlipoproteinemia. Hyperlipidemia has a significant impact on health because it can be associated with kidney disease, liver disease, diabetes, fatty liver, arteriosclerosis, and coronary heart disease, especially coronary heart disease and arteriosclerosis. Lowering blood lipid levels is crucial for preventing coronary heart disease and arteriosclerosis.

Hyperlipidemia refers to the concentration of blood lipid components such as plasma cholesterol, triglycerides, and total lipids exceeding the normal standard, and is associated with diseases such as kidney disease, liver disease, diabetes, fatty liver, arteriosclerosis, and coronary heart disease.

Hypertension refers to elevated blood pressure in the systemic arteries. When systolic blood pressure exceeds 140 mmHg or diastolic blood pressure exceeds 90 mmHg, it is called "borderline hypertension"; when systolic blood pressure exceeds 160 mmHg or diastolic blood pressure exceeds 95 mmHg, it is called "hypertension." Hypertension is a very dangerous disease, often called a "silent killer" because it can kill silently in its early stages, often without any symptoms, making it easy to overlook. As hypertension worsens, it can affect organs such as the heart, brain, kidneys, and eyes. Furthermore, hypertension can induce stroke or cause sudden death. Data shows that obese individuals are more prone to hypertension because their larger body size and increased fat tissue increase the burden on the heart. In addition, obese individuals are more likely to develop arteriosclerosis, increasing blood flow resistance and contributing to hypertension.

Every system, tissue, organ, and even every cell in the body relies on blood for nutrients to perform its normal physiological functions and ensure normal bodily activity. The heart is responsible for propelling blood throughout the body; a healthy heart pumps blood to every system, tissue, and organ. For obese individuals, the increasing size of the body naturally increases the workload on the heart. Furthermore, the abundance of adipose tissue in obese individuals makes them prone to arteriosclerosis and narrowing of blood vessels. Simultaneously, obese individuals are more susceptible to diabetes. The higher blood concentration in diabetic patients increases blood flow resistance, further increasing the workload on the heart. In addition, obese individuals are more prone to coronary heart disease, leading to a gradual decline in heart function. Therefore, in the long run, obesity has very serious negative effects on the heart.

Obese people are prone to hypertension, arteriosclerosis, narrowed blood vessels, diabetes, coronary heart disease, and other diseases, all of which can increase the burden on the heart and affect its function.
