根据一项大型核磁共振研究,腹部脂肪,而非总体体重,会增加心脏衰竭风险,特别是男性的心脏衰竭风险。 Abdominal fat, not overall weight, raises heart failure risk, especially in men, according to a large MRI study.

使用心脏MRI进行的一项大型研究发现腹部肥胖症, 或“啤酒腹”, 与整体体重相比, 造成更大的心脏风险, 特别是在男人身上。 A large study using cardiac MRI finds abdominal obesity, or a "beer belly," poses greater heart risks than overall body weight, especially in men. 在2 244名没有心脏病的成人中,高腰对脊比率(表明内脏脂肪)与同心超肥密切相关:心脏肌肉较厚和小室,特别是右心室,损害抽水效率,增加心衰竭风险。 Among 2,244 adults without heart disease, a high waist-to-hip ratio—indicating visceral fat—was strongly linked to concentric hypertrophy: thickened heart muscle and smaller chambers, particularly in the right ventricle, impairing pumping efficiency and raising heart failure risk. 这些变化在男子中更为明显,可能是由于荷尔蒙差异或较早的脂肪积累。 These changes were more pronounced in men, possibly due to hormonal differences or earlier fat accumulation. 即使在计算了血压、糖尿病、吸烟和胆固醇之后,协会仍成立。 The association held even after accounting for blood pressure, diabetes, smoking, and cholesterol. 研究人员敦促注重通过改变生活方式减少腹部脂肪,并使用简单的工具,如磁带措施,监测腰对臀比率——男子为0.90以上,妇女为0.85以上,这表明风险较高。 Researchers urge focusing on reducing abdominal fat through lifestyle changes and using simple tools like tape measures to monitor waist-to-hip ratios—above 0.90 for men and 0.85 for women signals higher risk. 它们要求更早发现和针对性别的预防战略。 They call for earlier detection and sex-specific prevention strategies.
