Study of 3m people finds being obese always puts you at much higher risk of deadly heart conditions



New study found some obese people had healthy blood pressure and blood fats. But even these people still at 34% increased risk of heart failure and arrhythmias

Comes after American study last week claimed it was possible to be fat and fit

It is not possible to be fat and fit at the same time, French experts have concluded.


A study of 3million people found even volunteers who were obese but 'metabolically healthy' still had a much higher chance of suffering heart problems.  


Obese people with normal blood pressure and who were not diabetic were still at a 34 per cent increased risk of heart failure and a similar risk of an irregular heart beat.


Lead author Dr Laurent Fauchier, a cardiologist at Centre Hospitalier Universitaire Trousseau, said the idea that people can be 'fat but fit' was 'simply untrue'.


Last week, an American study found that people simply need to focus on exercise rather than dieting to live longer.


It is possible to be ‘fat but fit’ – people simply need to focus on exercise rather than dieting to live longer, experts now claim.


The latest French research was presented to the European Association for the Study of Diabetes.


It looked at the medical records of around 2.9million adults, of whom about one in 10 were obese.


All participants had been admitted to French hospitals in 2013 and had not had any major cardiovascular issues in the past, including a heart attack or stroke. They were monitored for five years.
