How Weight Affects Life Expectancy: A Doctor's Answer
If you want to reduce your risk of developing serious diseases and live as long as possible, then you need to maintain your healthy weight.
Obesity negatively affects all areas of a person's life.
Patients with this symptom usually have poor wound healing, and any surgical intervention can be accompanied by serious risks.
For example, if a person weighs about 200 kilograms, then even operating on appendicitis is a problem.
Dr. Andrey Lysenko said this in an interview for the radio station “ Moscow Speaks .”
He noted that among the long-livers there are no overweight men or women.
People who have problems with excess weight are more likely to have problems with the heart and blood pressure.
In addition, in such patients, obesity may be accompanied by diabetes, respiratory failure, and other health problems.
