Monday, February 05, 2007 Retired NFL Linemen at High Risk for Heart Disease As I’m sure many of you know the Colts defeated the Bears last night in the Super Bowl XLI. Despite the weather, I thought it was a great game and very action-packed. I was never really a big football fan until I went to college, where football was an integral part of student life. As I was searching for news on the Super Bowl the other day, I came upon this article from HealthDay. According to a study conducted by Dr. Arthur Roberts, Ex-NFL Linemen are at high risk for a serious and life-threatening condition called metabolic syndrome. Symptoms of metabolic syndrome include enlarged heart, sleep apnea, abdominal obesity and high blood pressure. I’ve never really thought about it before but linemen in the NFL are huge, typically weighing at least 300 pounds. Such a high body weight can put them at risk for serious health conditions. Although these men are incredibly muscular while playing in the NFL, once they reduce their activity level, the muscle often turns to fat. Dr. Roberts screened 550 retired NFL linemen and found that 52.2 percent had metabolic syndrome, meaning they have three or more of the following health conditions: abdominal obesity, high blood pressure, high blood sugar, high triglycerides and low HDL cholesterol. Metabolic syndrome is not a health condition to be taken lightly. These retired players need to take some serious steps to improving their health. Eating properly and exercising are two effective steps that can not only reduce the risk for metabolic syndrome, but also for numerous other diseases too. Hmm, maybe I should send these guys a tub of soft margarine? As I was searching for news on the Super Bowl the other day, I came upon this article from HealthDay.

Metabolički sindrom predviđa ponovnu pojavu tumora dojke Niz faktora poput visoke razine kolesterola u krvi, pretilost, visoke razine šećera u krvi i povišenog krvnog tlaka, odnosno metaboličkog sindroma, povezani su s oboljenjem od dijabetesa i srčanih bolesti. Talijanski istraživači tvrde da su važan prognostički faktor ponovnog pojavljivanja tumora dojke. Dosadašnja istraživanja su pokazala da su neki aspekti metaboličkog sindroma, kao što su niska razina HDL-a u krvi, visoka razina šećera u krvi, visoka razina triglicerida u krvi, trbušni tip debljine, povišen krvni tlak i visoke razine inzulina u krvi, povezani s rizikom obolijevanja od tumora dojke.
