I dare not punch in the cheese bag of the online red shop. I am not confident enough to express my love to the people I like. I try my best to lose weight but it is difficult to lose weight. I adjusted my angle repeatedly when taking selfies and finally gave up…
Each thin man has his own happiness, while the fat man shares similar sadness.
These are the second. Obesity will not only lead to three highs (hypertension, hyperglycemia and hyperlipidemia), but also increase the risk of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases and endocrine diseases.
What’s more, obesity is closely related to 11 types of tumors, which can significantly increase the incidence of these tumors.
This is a blockbuster medical research result published last year by The BMJ (British Medical Journal), an authoritative medical journal. The data in this paper are very reliable and are currently the highest-level evidence in the field of evidence-based medicine.
In a word, to some extent, obesity is the primary carcinogenic factor!
The BMJ also included a video description

Is how obese?
The article includes the results of different studies. These studies mainly use as many as seven criteria to measure obesity:
- Body Mass Index (BMI) Waist circumference (hip circumference) Waist to hip ratio (weight) Weight gain (weight loss from bariatric surgery)
Among them, body mass index (BMI) is the most commonly used index, which is equal to the square of height (m) divided by weight (kg), namely:
BMI = Height (m)/Weight (kg) ²
BMI of 18 ~ 25 is normal, 25 ~ 30 is overweight, and above 30 is considered obese. (This is the American standard. For us Chinese, the normal BMI range is 18.5 ~ 23.9, 24 ~ 27.9 is overweight, and above 28 is obese.)
The fatter you are, the easier it is to grow tumors.
Which tumors prefer fat people?
The 11 tumors highly associated with obesity are:
- Esophageal tumor, colon cancer, rectal cancer, cholangiocarcinoma, pancreatic cancer, endometrial cancer, multiple myeloma, breast cancer, gallbladder cancer, gastric cancer, ovarian cancer
For men:
Increased BMI poses the greatest threat to the biliary tract. For every 5% increase in BMI, men increase their risk of biliary tract tumors by 56%, while colorectal tumors seem to have a lower risk, increasing by about 9%.
For women:
For every 5% increase in BMI, the incidence of premenopausal breast cancer will increase by 11%, while for every 0.1% increase in waist-hip ratio (i.e. Waist circumference divided by hip circumference), the risk of endometrial cancer will increase by 21%.
Since these tumors studied are the top 10 common high-risk tumors, and their original incidence rate, the potential incidence rate of tumors in obese people is very considerable.
The weight has exceeded the standard, how to do?
See here, certainly some people will ask:
What should I do now? Is it not far from cancer?
Fortunately, compared with other carcinogenic factors, obesity is a reversible carcinogenic factor.
After all, there is no fat that cannot be reduced. It depends on whether you persist and work hard enough.
There is no shortcut to lose weight, [shut up and keep your legs open], healthy diet and active exercise are indispensable. If it is really pathological and severe obesity, surgery can be considered.
All this is not only responsible for one’s own health, but also a responsibility to one’s family.
Use your fingers and turn on the calculator to measure your BMI and that of your family. Don’t forget BMI = height (m)/weight (kg) ².
