Obesity: Death Rate Causes Of Cardiovascular Disease

According to the World Health Organization (WHO), which was updated last January 2015, "worldwide obesity has more than doubled since 1980." In the year 2014, more than 1.9 billion adults, 18 years and older, were overweight. Out of these, 600 million were obese.

The Organization added, that 39 per cent of adults aged 18 years and over were overweight in 2014 and 13 per cent were obese. Aside from that, it even stressed that 42 million children under the age of 5 were overweight or obese by the year 2013.

With this, yearly death rates has been relatively increasing and is alarming. Respectively, we'll discuss how cardiovascular disease causes death rate on obese people.

An overweight or obese person affects mainly his heart, thus cardiovascular disease (mainly heart disease and stroke) strikes in and lead to death.

"Excess fat-especially around the waist -could prompt inflammation and raise the risk of heart disease inflammation and raise the risk of heart disease," Miranda Hitti said in WebMD News Archive,

Fat act like an unwelcome extra organ that leads people to heart disease, a leading killer in the US for both men and women.

Tongjian You, PhD releases a statement that "it is well known that obesity affects nearly one-third of adults in the U.S. and is closely linked with heart disease."

With this, obese people should lessen calories and fat intakes. Hence, an obese person must set up realistic plans and eating disciplinary actions. Lifestyle changes can really help trimmed off levels of calories and sugars, which then lessen the fat in the waist and in the heart.

A successful lifestyle changes corresponds to the following. An obese person must focus on balancing energy IN (calories from food and drinks) with energy OUT (physical drinks).

Conversely, following a healthy eating plan and the willingness to adopt healthy lifestyle habits will surely pave the way for the successful treatment of heart disease.
