This news obviously distorts the research, because the title of the paper published by the University of Tubingen in Germany is: Causes, characteristics and consequences of abnormal body weight metabolism. So in fact, the key lies in unhealthy metabolism, which has nothing to do with the thickness of legs, that is, the distribution of fat.
Being fat is not terrible. We often think that a fat person is unhealthy. On the contrary, an embarrassed person is healthy. And this idea is wrong.
The study found that about 20% of people with normal weight are people with unhealthy metabolism. Compared with people with normal weight and metabolism, the risk of death due to cardiovascular events or diabetes is increased by 300%. In contrast, obese people with healthy metabolism only increase their risk of illness by 25%. In other words, people with normal weight and unhealthy metabolism have much higher health risks than many obese people with normal metabolism.
Therefore, don't think that you are healthy if you are not fat, but pay more attention to your metabolic health.
3 Who is prone to unhealthy metabolism 1. Carotid intima thickening (atherosclerosis), insufficient insulin secretion, abnormal insulin sensitivity, etc.
2. Characteristics of fat distribution: leg fat is less, accounting for less body fat, abdominal subcutaneous fat is more, accounting for a high proportion, and abdominal organs and liver fat accumulate.
Is there a relationship between fat distribution and health? Fat distribution has a certain relationship with health.
The common human body shapes are evenly distributed. Men have beer bellies, women have pear-shaped bodies and apple-shaped bodies have fat bellies. Studies have found that apple obesity, that is, abdominal fat accumulation, is prone to metabolic syndrome, cardiovascular disease and diabetes. Pear-shaped obesity, that is, fat accumulation in buttocks and thighs, is much less risky. So there will be "rumors" that girls with thick legs are healthier.
