Experts from South Korea came to the conclusion that drastic weight loss as drastic weight gain seriously increase the risk of heart attacks and strokes, and premature death. For health it is best to maintain a stable weight, said the researchers.
“Abrupt changes in metabolic factors associated with weight fluctuations that adversely affect even relatively healthy people,” stated the researchers at the Catholic University of Korea.
According to their data, changing the weight (both increase and decrease) is associated with changes in blood pressure, cholesterol and blood sugar that accelerate the development of myocardial infarction and stroke. Moreover, the risk of suffering as a result of these pathologies is very significant. But the risk of premature death due to the oscillating weight even higher.
Korean researchers analyzed data from more than 6.7 million people by the beginning of the project were generally healthy in their medical records there was no record of high blood pressure or elevated cholesterol, as well as post myocardial infarction and stroke. During the seven years that lasted the study, participants had three medical examinations. During this period died almost 55 thousand people, and there was a 22 thousands of strokes and more than 21 thousand myocardial infarctions.
In the end, scientists concluded that abrupt changes in metabolic factors associated with weight fluctuations in the direction of increase or decrease “increased the risk of premature death by 127% and the risk of heart attack or stroke – by 40% compared to those who have such metabolic oscillations were observed.”
