New studies show that weight gain of just 0.6 kg per year makes you vulnerable makes you vulnerable to high blood pressure especially in young women. If young people (18-year to 20-year-old) continue to gain weight a year and think it doesn’t matter; they are misleading themselves and increasin
g their risk of heart disease.
According to a study conducted at Illinois, US, people with changes in Body Mass Index (height to weight ratio) and body weight over one year experienced changes in blood pressure and blood glucose levels.
One-year changes in body weight were associated with increased blood pressure for both men and women. In the 25% who had a weight gain of 5% or more, that gain was associated with higher BP. The changes were more significant for women than for men.
The good news is that the reverse is also true. Women who lost 5% of their body weight saw reductions in their blood pressure.
Weight gain and small increases in blood pressure cannot be ignored in this age group.
