The German magazine "Abbotken Umchau" reported that the large abdominal circumference beats the alarm, as the risk of diabetes and high blood pressure rises, and then the risk of heart attacks and strokes rises.
The magazine said that the reason for this is that the fat, which accumulates in the liver and pancreas, impedes the production of the hormone insulin, which works to reduce the level of sugar in the blood, and that the fat cells cause the secretion of hormones and harmful substances in the body, which cause for example in Vascular calcification.
"Aboutken Umchao" added that the abdominal circumference rang the alarm, starting from 94 cm in men and starting from 80 cm for women.
To avoid these serious risks, those who have a large abdominal circumference must work to reduce their total body mass by 5-10%, through healthy nutrition and regular exercise and motor activities.
