Excess fat in the abdomen is causing a lot of problems.
Besides making unattractive appearance, recently it is declared that a
distended abdomen can increase the risk of kidney disease.
Results of a study published in the Journal of the American
Society of Nephrology found that kidney problems often occur in people with
apple body type, ie those who have excess fat in the abdominal area.
UK experts recommend that people who have belly fat beware
of the high risk of kidney disease that may affect them.
The research was conducted by a team at the University
Medical Center Groningen in the Netherlands. They observed 300 people who have
a healthy weight and being overweight.
Researchers found that people who have a waist and a bigger
belly or having an apple shape body type of kidney disease is likely higher.
They have lower kidney function, thereby reducing blood circulation to the
kidneys and cause kidney gathered blood pressure.
"We found that the apple shape body type, even if the
person is at a healthy weight, it is still at risk for kidney disease because
the kidneys to the blood suppress them," said lead researcher Arjan
Kwakernaak, as reported by the BBC (11/04).
Researchers suggest that a person who has a pot belly and an
apple body shape reduces the risk of kidney disease by reducing salt intake and
health check them more often.
