Doctors reveal a surprise: a strange benefit of obesity on longevity

European and American doctors have revealed an unexpected benefit of obesity, namely that the patient is more likely to survive.

"People with obesity live longer after being diagnosed with heart failure than others with serious infectious diseases," according to Russia Today.

Although being overweight increases the risk of diabetes and cardiovascular disease, it can protect people against stroke death. Zolio Liu of the University of California, USA, said, "Our colleagues noticed that members of the study research team were relying on the analysis of the situation. the patients, that the extra weight increases the chances of survival of the patient, heart disease and kidneys alive, we decided to check the relationship between obesity and stroke.

Dr. Liu and his scientific team revealed that this happened in case of a stroke, which allowed them to track the health status of about 1,000 infected people before a cerebral hemorrhage. serious. Participants in the study were divided into five groups according to the degree of obesity. Several months and the result of his conclusion that excess weight positively affects the health of the wounded.

The mortality rate of the most obese people was 62% lower than that of stroke victims without excess weight. The researchers also noted that thin people were not recovering from the effects of stroke, compared with moderate weight holders, but were unable to determine the scientific cause therefore

"The reason may be that there are higher reserve rates for foods in overweight patients, which helps them survive longer," said Dr. Liu. "It is the scientific hypothesis to analyze the reported results.

The researchers point out that it is necessary to continue to monitor the health status of people with stroke to validate these findings in order to determine the relationship between BMI and cerebral hemorrhage.
