Heart disease the low stature, so vulnerable

The study found that 13.5 percent of every half inch makes an impact on disease risk. One man, a six-foot-five-foot gap between man gets nearly 64 percent.

University of Leicester, Professor Sir Neil sharpened told the BBC News website that has very little in the context of other risks, such as smoking increases the risk is 200 to 300 percent, but not less is.

"I would not say that little more caution is needed because the man six feet one inch tall person needs to give up smoking. '

According to the study of the genes whose height is smaller increase in blood cholesterol and fats may help.

According to researchers, some jeans for tall growth of vascular control.

Professor identifying the disease from this study will help to develop new treatments that will be helpful in the future.

But there is also bad news for tall people and that they are more vulnerable to cancer.

Medical director of the British Heart Foundation Professor Peter uyzbrg say, this study does not mean that the people of small stature as necessary for your health or doctors must be concerned over the health of the people of small stature should pay attention. "

His tall, regardless of any healthy diet, regular exercise and not smoking should do everything through methods such as heart disease less likely in the future. "

Britain's University of Leicester, said that a team of scientists are smaller in stature you have, the greater your risk of heart disease.

The two million people researching their DNA detected that part which controls the height and heart health.

The research results showed that every two and a half inches in height, increasing the likelihood of heart disease is reduced to 13.5%.

The British Heart Foundation said the people of small stature, it should not be unnecessarily worried and have a healthy lifestyle.

Heart disease in the UK, which includes heart attack and heart fylyyr, is the leading cause of death. Each year, more than 73 thousand people have died.

50 years ago it was learned that the tall, has a key role in heart health, but researchers do not know why it had to be.

It also happens that many other reasons, such as lack of food in Bachchan's impact on the height of the heart may be affected.

But University of Leicester research shows that the answer is within our DNA.

They observed 180 genes were identified whose height was concerned.
