Thin people are also prone to heart disease?

Recently, the American Heart Association published the latest scientific statement in the journal Circulation, stating that even if the body mass index (BMI) measurement is within the healthy weight range, there is a "big belly", that is, people with excess fat in the middle organs of the body suffer from "big belly".

Abdominal fat (visceral fat) is a risk marker for cardiovascular disease.

Experts recommend that abdominal measurements and BMI assessments should be performed when seeing a doctor on a regular basis, because even if the weight is normal, too much waist circumference may mean an increased risk of heart disease.

This is because abdominal obesity is related to the accumulation of fat around the liver, which often leads to non-alcoholic fatty liver, thereby increasing the risk of cardiovascular disease.

In this scientific statement, the researchers evaluated research on the management and treatment of obesity, especially research on abdominal fat.

Their analysis found that meeting the current recommended 150 minutes of physical activity per week may be sufficient to reduce belly fat.

Powell-Wiley said that more work needs to be done to determine effective interventions for obese patients to improve the outcome of cardiovascular disease and reduce the mortality caused by it.

In addition, the researchers also pointed out in the report that data shows that obesity may cause atrial fibrillation.
