men who are big and obese face a much higher risk for the development of potentially deadly blood clots, although overall the risk is quite small according to a new study.
The researchers report that extra weight and additional inch appear together, increase the risk more than either alone.
"Young and obese men had more than a five-fold higher risk, compared to short and lean men," said co-author warning study, Sigrid k. Braekkan, which to avoid the vertical and horizontal gifted sit too long in one place.
Women are also a higher risk if they are large and obese, but only as highly alone a problem not looks to be, the study found.
The blood clot result, that a State known as deep vein thrombosis, which long best known as an affliction, the passengers on flights aircraft that might not have much chance to move strikes. Immobilization of the legs can help the condition.
Other causes are more likely injuries and a genetic condition that people power blood to clot. "And there are some people who seem to get blood clots if they obviously have no clear risk factors," said Dr. Victor Tapson, Director of the Center for pulmonary vascular disease at Duke University.
Although to start the blood clot in the leg, they can move into lungs, where they can cause a fatal pulmonary embolism. Venous thromboembolism is the name of the two conditions-deep vein thrombosis and Lungenembolien--together describe.
In the new study, published online April 28 in arteriosclerosis thrombosis and vascular biology collected research data on 26,714 people from 1994 to 2007, including 461 reports of venous thromboembolism.
Obese and tall human-they upload at least six meters - had the risk of a blood clot compared five times more than normal weight men shorter than 5 feet 7 inches. The risk was three times higher for women who were overweight and at least 5 feet 6 inches than normal weight women shorter than 5 feet 3 inches.
The increased risk of high people appears to be its circulatory system to the. "The distance for blood again is longer on the heart and lungs," said Braekkan. "Because the blood to be pumped pump upwards against the force of gravity by the calf muscles can the greater distance reduced flow in the legs and, thus, higher risk of blood clotting lead."
He said, that obesity pressure in the abdomen causes, the possibility of the pump, blood in the body send calf muscles, you back up that may hinder.
However, the study revealed that the risk of developing blood clots low, even for the high and remained obese.
But what should be large and obese people to reduce their risk even more? Can shed pounds, is the best thing to do to avoid situations where you want to move not for a long time, Tapson said.
Try in the narrow space of an aircraft, "only move your legs, moving your legs, on your toes up and down and helps to keep your feet your calf muscles," he said. It is also a good idea to keep hydrated (and alcohol on the front does not help). Some people use elastic stockings, although Tapson, it can be troublesome said, if it the legs of crimping.
