Scientists managed to refute the "paradox of obesity," according to which excess weight can have a beneficial effect on the human heart.
Scientists at the University of Glasgow conducted a large-scale study to prove the undeniable harm of obesity for human health.
For this purpose, experts have studied the medical indicators of more than 296 thousand middle-aged Europeans. The researchers found that exceeding the body mass index of 22 to 23 kilograms per square meter of growth has negative consequences for health and, first of all, for the cardiovascular system. Extra pounds increase the risk of heart disease. Scientists have established the probability of indisposition: 13 percent for every extra 5.2 kilograms per square meter of growth for women and 4.2 kilograms for the stronger sex.
