研究表明，腰腹部肥肉太多会增加得肾病的风险。 众所周知，相对应梨型腰，苹果型腰的人更容易患心血管疾病。 美国肾脏病研究学会刊登的一个研究报告指出，在甚至是健康的苹果腰的人群中，仍有4种肾病迹象。 英国专家说人们应该更加重视他们的肾脏健康。 这项研究是由荷兰的University Medical Center Groningen的一个研究小组进行的，他们对300人进行了调研，这其中既有正常体重的人，也有超重的人。 他们发现苹果腰越严重，腰髋比例越高，肾功能越弱，肾的血液循环越慢，血压也就越高。 甚至是那些还健康的苹果腰的人也是这样。 这项调研的负责人Arjan Kwakernaak说“我们发现那些有苹果腰的正常血压的健康人的肾压比较高，如果超重的话，这种情况更严重” 这些发现建议这些人通过治疗来降低肾压，比如降低摄取的盐量和对症的药物治疗。 英国肾学会发言人说：“我们已经知道苹果型肥胖比梨形肥胖更容易导致心血管疾病，这表明肾病也是这样” 他还说：“这也进一步证实了肥胖和日益增加的肾病之间的联系，我们应该做更多事情让人们明白保护肾的重要性” http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-22112088 Carrying excess weight around the abdomen is linked to an increased risk of kidney disease, a study suggests. It was already known that being "apple-shaped", as opposed to "pear-shaped", added to the risk of developing cardiovascular problems. This research, in the Journal of the American Society of Nephrology, found signs of kidney problems in even otherwise healthy apple-shaped people. UK experts said people needed to take more care of their kidney health. The research, by a team at the University Medical Center Groningen, in the Netherlands, looked at more than 300 people who had either a healthy bodyweight. or who were overweight. They found that having a higher waist-to-hip ratio - seen in those who were more apple-shaped - was associated with lower kidney function, reduced kidney blood flow and higher blood pressure in the kidneys. This was the case even in those who were otherwise healthy. Arjan Kwakernaak, who led the study, said: "We found that apple-shaped persons - even if totally healthy and with a normal blood pressure - have an elevated blood pressure in their kidneys. "When they are also overweight or obese, this is even worse." The findings suggest that these individuals may benefit from treatments that reduce kidney blood pressure - such as cutting salt levels and targeted drug treatments. A spokesman for Kidney Research UK said: "We understand already that central - 'apple' - obesity is associated with higher cardiovascular risk than peripheral - 'pear' - obesity. "This demonstrates that the same is true for kidney disease." He added: "This is further evidence that there is a link between obesity and the growing problem of kidney disease, and that more needs to be done to make people aware of the importance of protecting kidney function." |
