Here about H1N1
Severe obesity that is nearly five times more likely than adults infected with H1N1 influenza pandemic will be enough patients to be hospitalized, and more likely to die under certain conditions, new research from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Find frequent observation quantifies for the first time, made during clinical care and approved by the surveillance, prevention and treatment of obesity to play more than expected role in H1N1 disease and death. Writing in Medical Journal (online) public library Science (PLoS One), the researchers say that obesity seems to play the powerful role that exerts its effects independently of any underlying disease that patients may be chronic is.
Obesity researchers could tell how the effects of exercise, but irrelevant piece of research may provide a preview. Study using rats, University of North Carolina researchers report in the Journal of Immunology that overeating causes obesity seems to affect the immune system's ability to create an immunological memory which allows the body to recognize and respond the flu is an infection.
Study the information the CDC used hospitalization and mortality in the group health education in the earlier outbreaks between April and July 2009 Ydlaymkhyrat collected. As a control, the researchers compared the case of normal work, using data from NHANES National Health and Test Nutrition Survey), nationally representative examination.
For each group, the researchers calculated the body mass index (BMI), ratio of height weight that global action is used under or overweight. They also noted that at least some members suffer from chronic diseases, cardiovascular diseases, pulmonary diseases, liver diseases, cancer and diabetes - that federal health authorities already play a role as defined influenza is severe.
Pregnant women were not included in the study even if they also had exposure to a higher risk of disease and death are H1N1, because the BMI - related definitions of overweight does s not apply to them.
The results indicate that obesity seems decisive role in the disease of influenza and death, although its influence has been calculated degree of quality information on some of the groups is limited. Effect of obesity on disease and mortality in adolescents and children below 20, which was more likely to be very serious if the feet instead of weight, are underweight.
