alert! There is no direct relationship between blood lipid levels and body weight
Blood lipids include four blood lipids: total cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein, high-density lipoprotein, and triglycerides. Among them, high-density lipoprotein is a good blood lipid, which can prevent cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, and the other three blood lipids are bad blood lipids, which will aggravate cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.
The reason why triglycerides are high in thin people is because triglycerides mainly come from dietary intake. If you are a thin person, but you still like to eat fried food, fatty food, or eat more steamed bread and rice, But not fat. However, not being fat does not mean that blood lipids will not be high. As long as you eat more of these foods, triglycerides will still be high, so if you are thin, you should also pay attention to your diet.
Why do lean people have elevated cholesterol and low-density lipoprotein? This is because most of cholesterol and low-density lipoprotein come from our own metabolism, and a small part comes from dietary intake. To put it simply, even if thin people do not eat greasy, meat, animal offal, etc., if you are a metabolic abnormal person with high cholesterol fermentation, your cholesterol and low-density lipoprotein will also increase. Most of these non-diet-induced high cholesterol and low-density lipoproteins require lipid-lowering drugs to control blood lipids.
Therefore, fat people are more likely to have high blood lipids, but lean people who don’t pay attention to healthy diet will also have high triglycerides; lean people with metabolic disorders will also have elevated cholesterol and low-density lipoprotein.
In short, hyperlipidemia is not a patent for fat people!
Dyslipidemia needs to be differentiated between primary and secondary. Primary dyslipidemia can be caused by genes, showing familial aggregation. Most of the primary dyslipidemia is the result of the interaction between the body and the environment. The main influencing factors include: 1. Age. When you are young, your metabolism is strong, and the need and consumption of cholesterol and triglycerides are large, and the blood lipid level is generally not high. abnormal. 2. Eating habits. Both exogenous cholesterol and triglycerides are obtained from food. The increase in dietary level, the increase in the proportion of high-fat and cholesterol food intake, and the lack of sufficient exercise make it difficult to consume both. increase. Secondary dyslipidemia can be caused by diseases and drugs, such as hypothyroidism, diabetes, liver and kidney disease, etc. Many of these patients are thin.
Therefore, being fat or thin does not determine the level of blood lipids, and being thin does not guarantee that you will be away from hyperlipidemia, although being fat will increase the risk of dyslipidemia. Experts suggest that people with normal blood lipids, even if they are thin, should try their best to regularly check blood lipids. Once abnormality is found, in addition to regulating life and diet, long-term medication is required if necessary.
