A large abdomen can be caused not only by pregnancy, but also by a number of abnormalities in the human body. For example, it can be flatulence, loose fluid in the abdomen, cysts, or tumors.

Moreover, as it turned out, there is a direct link between the volume of the waist and human life expectancy. For example, according to scientist Ahmad Jaidi and his team, people who have a thin waist and voluminous hips have the lowest risk of premature death.

According to the study, the norm for Chinese men is less than 90 cm for the waist, for women less than 85 cm. If the waist circumference exceeds these figures, we can say that the internal organs are getting fat, so the likelihood of developing heart disease, cerebrovascular disease increases.

The circumference of the neck also plays a role. If the neck is too fat the risk of metabolic syndrome increases.

Owners of slim legs, as it turned out, also need to be more attentive to their health, as people with thin calves are more likely to face carotid plaques and have an increased risk of stroke.
