Maryland, Obesity synonymous with risk of other health problems, no matter whether it is male or female experience. Recently a new study found that women who were overweight at higher risk of developing kidney stones.
The research team from Rigshospitalet, Copenhagen University Hospital, Denmark was also found that kidney stone disease is more likely to strike middle-aged women who are overweight and inactivity. As reported by Huffingtonpost, Monday (15/07/2013).
This conclusion is based on observational data on 77 679 participants. For the purposes of this study, researchers used a random approach Mendelian or 'method that uses genetic variation to study the impact of modifiable risk factors as the cause of a disease', in order to see how lifestyle factors can affect a person's risk of kidney stones.
Once all participants were observed for 34 years, researchers found that 4,106 of them suffering from kidney stones that show certain symptoms. (According to a report from the University of Maryland Medical Center, kidney stones usually cause no specific symptoms, but if it happens, symptoms include pain, inflammation, as well as complications such as infection.)
Another previous study from the University of Maryland Medical Center has revealed that women are more often reported to have kidney stones than men. One in four women predicted kidney stones when reaching the age of 60 and more than half of women will develop the disease at the age of 75 years. Yet only one in five men suffering from kidney stones is staying when he was 75 years old.
But in this study Danish researchers found not only women who are more at risk of developing kidney stones than men. but there was also a significant association between weight gain with risk of kidney stones. Researchers also concluded for each increase in BMI (body mass index) sebanya 1 kilogram per square meter, the risk of kidney stone disease seven percent higher.
Lucky this can be prevented by not skipping meals and maintain a healthy weight. This is because weight loss can dramatically increase the risk of kidney stones.
