    Generally speaking, fat people are more likely to get sick and others have more fat. Overweight will increase the burden on the heart, and may also lead to myocardial hypertrophy, and even lead to cardiomyopathy and other consequences, and the earlier obesity occurs, the greater the damage to the heart. If the overweight situation has not been improved, the heart damage will be more serious. American experts reminded that in order to protect the heart, the adult body mass index (BMI = height (kg)/weight (m) squared) should be kept between 18.5 and 24.9.
