The German magazine "Abbotken Umchau" reported that the large circumference of the abdomen rang the alarm, as the risk of diabetes and high blood pressure rises, and then the risk of heart attacks and strokes rises.
The magazine explained 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 production of hormones and harmful substances in the body, which cause calcification of blood vessels. And Abbotiken Umchao added that the abdominal circumference rang the alarm, starting from 94 cm in men and starting from 80 cm in women. To avoid these dangers, people whose abdominal circumference is large must work to reduce their total body mass by 5-10%.
