The relationship between obesity and hypertension

Obesity is caused by excessive intake of high-fat food, which causes fat accumulation in people's bodies. The formation of hypertension due to obesity is different from essential hypertension and renal hypertension. Due to the large increase of adipose tissue in obese people, the vascular bed is expanded, and the blood circulation volume is relatively increased. Under the condition of normal heart rate, the cardiac volume will increase a lot, and the long-term burden is too heavy, the left heart hypertrophy and the blood pressure is increased.

In addition to hypertension, obesity can also induce diabetes, which is one of the most serious complications of hypertension. Eating too much, the activity of the sympathetic nervous system increases, norepinephrine activity increases, sympathetic nerve activity accelerates, leading to increased blood pressure. The adrenal cortex function of fat person is hyperactive, the water sodium retention of certain degree, increased circulation quantity further, aggravated blood pressure rises. Hyperlipidemia can induce arteriosclerosis, hypertension, coronary heart disease and cerebrovascular disease. High blood lipids are the inevitable companion of obesity. Hyperlipidemia is an increase in triglycerides and cholesterol in the blood. The fat in the body of obese people increases, and the fat in the blood will also increase accordingly. Therefore, moderate to severe obese people are usually accompanied by hyperlipidemia.

Obesity is directly proportional to the incidence of hypertension. Studies show that when overweight is less than 10%, the incidence of hypertension is 10.3%, which is only slightly higher than that of normal weight people. When 10-20% overweight, the incidence rate of hypertension was 19.1%, which was 2.5 times that of normal weight people. When 30 to 50 percent overweight, the incidence of hypertension was as high as 56 percent, 7.2 times higher than that of people of normal weight. In other words, more than half of your friends who are moderately obese are likely to have high blood pressure.
