An unusual relationship has been identified between the structure of the human body and the state of health of people, writes The Daily Mail..

Experts from Emory University in Atlanta have found that low testosterone levels cause men to spend more effort on raising children and caring for them, not on sex..

And scientists at the University of Warwick, together with colleagues from the Cancer Research Institute, found that people with long fingers are more prone to depressive disorders, and people with an index finger that is longer than the ring finger are less likely to develop prostate cancer.. The reason is a low level of testosterone in the blood..

Narrow hips are associated with an increased risk of heart disease and premature death.. Scientists from the University of Oxford explain this by the fact that such people do not have fat in the thighs and buttocks, which acts as a trap for food acids, which prevents them from entering the organs through the blood, where they can cause damage..

But wide, pear-shaped hips also increase the risk of health problems.. Owners of such hips may experience confusion during menopause. Fat in the thighs significantly restricts blood flow to the brain, which affects thinking.

But people with small ears are more likely to develop eczema and kidney disease, say researchers from the University of Leicester.. A large tongue and protruding jawbone warns of the risk of interrupted breathing during sleep, as the tongue can obstruct the main airways.

Less likely to get diabetes in women with long, slender legs. An increase in leg length of 4.3 cm, according to scientists from the University of Bristol, reduces the risk of disease by 19%.

Experts associate this with the nutrition of the baby during fetal development.. If it was defective, then in adulthood the body may not be able to cope with the processing of the normal amount of fats and carbohydrates..

People with large eyes are also at risk, because they are prone to developing myopia.. According to scientists, it is enough that the diameter of the eyes is 1 mm larger than the usual size, which should be no more than 24 millimeters..
