Body = Older people who are obese or over weight are at a higher
risk of developing musculoskeletal health problems. A study carried
out by the Department of Orthopedic Surgery at Union Memorial Hospital
in Baltimore showed increasing
cases of pre frailty and frailty in obese people.
Women between
the age groups of 70-79 were weak in their health and suffered from
major diseases like diabetes, congestive heart failure, peripheral
vascular
occlusive disease and osteoarthritis. Apart from these severe medical
conditions, the increasing obese population in America also faces
a foot problem which has its roots in Obesity. In general people
carry nearly six times their body weight across the ankle joint
when climbing stairs. Obesity increases the impact making more opportunities
for health problems concerning the feet and ankles.
Men suffer from
a pre-diabetic condition called carbohydrate intolerance which encourages
fat deposits on muscle tissues causing critical damage to their
foot. For women, the impact is much lower than men.
We cannot view
Obesity as an aesthetic topic only but it is a worsening world health
issue. If not contained in its youth, it will make sure; you suffer
in old age with cardio vascular and musculoskeletal health problems.
