Almost three in five people (57 per cent of women and 55 per cent of men) overestimate the waist measurement at which they become at risk of conditions such as cancer and heart disease.
The findings were released as part of a health campaign by charities the British Heart Foundation, Cancer Research UK and Diabetes UK. They show that people often leave it too late to consider weight-loss surgery, such as a gastric balloon or gastric band.
Diabetes UK Care Advisor Libby Dowling: “While you might be relaxing at home, your fat cells are working overtime to pump out excess hormones and other chemicals that can cause harm.
“Knowing your risk is an important first step towards shedding the extra fat anchoring our nation to future health issues.”
Obesity Surgery experts at Gastric Band Info have advised thousands of patients on the best treatment for them, to help them lose weight and become more healthy.
Sensible eating – rather than dieting! – and exercise are always the first steps on the journey to weight loss, but many people find that this alone does not work. That’s when obesity surgery can transform people’s lives.
The three main options recommended by Gastric Band Info are:
- Gastric balloon – for patients with a body mass index of 25 to 30, who are looking to return to a normal weight
- Gastric band – for patients with a BMI over 30 who need to achieve significant weight loss
- Gastric bypass – for patients who are morbidly obese, with a body mass index (BMI) of more than 40.
