Mae gan bobl fyr risg 50 y cant yn uwch o glefyd y galon a marwolaeth na phobl uchel, ond pwysau, pwysedd gwaed ac arferion ysmygu yw'r ffactorau pwysicaf o hyd ar gyfer clefyd y galon, yn ôl astudiaeth newydd. Mae astudiaethau blaenorol wedi dangos cysylltiad rhwng taldra a chlefydau'r galon fel angina pectoris, clefyd y galon a chlefyd fasgwlaidd. Y tro hwn, cynhaliodd ymchwilwyr y Ffindir yr adolygiad mawr cyntaf o astudiaethau o'r fath, gan gynnwys astudiaethau byd-eang, a chadarnhaodd y berthynas rhwng taldra a chlefyd y galon.
Finnish researchers reviewed 52 studies on height and heart disease involving more than 3 million male and female subjects. The experts did not consider the patient's objective height, but analyzed the population of a specific country. They found that the shortest people had a 1.5 times higher risk of heart disease or death than the tallest people. Generally speaking, the height of short people is less than 1.61 meters, and the height of tall people is at least 1.74 meters.
The cardiovascular research foundation of Finland and other institutions are funded. The study was published in the European Heart Journal. 'we don't want to scare short people, but maybe they should pay extra attention to their lifestyle,' said POG nordsterger, a professor of genetic epidemiology at root Hagen University, who was not involved in the study. However, compared with other factors such as smoking, height does not affect the severity of heart disease, and smoking can increase the risk of heart disease by up to four times.
Er bod gwyddonwyr yn dal yn ansicr ynglŷn â'r rheswm pam mae pobl fyr yn dueddol o gael clefyd y galon, maen nhw'n credu y gallai fod sawl esboniad. Gall statws byr fod yn ganlyniad i ddiffyg maeth. Yn gyffredinol, gall pobl fach fod yn dioddef o ddiffyg maeth ac yn agored i afiechyd. Mae arbenigwyr hefyd yn credu y gallai fod esboniad biolegol, fel anghydbwysedd hormonau, a allai niweidio'r galon.
