Abasetyhini bavame ukuba namafutha asekuhlaleni kwiindawo eziqhelekileyo, njengemilenze kunye nesisu. Kuqhelekile ukuba kwisigaba sasemva kokuyeka ukuya exesheni, amanqatha aqokelelana ngakumbi kwindawo yesisu kwaye anokubonisa umngcipheko omkhulu wesifo sentliziyo. Enyanisweni, yakutshanje kufunda iqinisekisa ukuba abo banobuninzi obuninzi kwindawo engaphezulu yemilenze bancinci kakhulu kuyo. Uphando lwenziwa yi-Albert Einstein School of Medicine (eNew York), kwaye kwafunyaniswa ukuba kukho ubudlelwane phakathi kokusasazwa kwamafutha kumzimba wabasetyhini emva kokuyeka ukuya exesheni kunye nethuba lokuba nesifo senhliziyo.
Ukuhanjiswa kwamafutha kuchaphazela impilo
Uphononongo aluzange lufumane ubudlelwane phakathi komlinganiselo wamafutha omzimba kunye nomngcipheko weengxaki zempilo, kodwa kubonakala ngathi ukuhanjiswa oku kuchaphazela abafazi abagqiba ukuya esikhathini. Ngokukodwa, izicubu ze-adipose kwindawo yesisu kwandisa amathuba okubandezeleka kwizifo zentliziyo, nokuba sinobunzima obuqhelekileyo.
Okumangalisa kukuba, ukuqokelela kwamafutha kwindawo ephezulu yemilenze kunye nasezinqeni kuhambelana nepesenti ephantsi yokuba nohlobo oluthile lwe-pathology. Ngaloo ndlela, abafazi abanomzimba wohlobo lwe-apula, abanepesenti enkulu yezicubu ze-adipose kwindawo yesisu kunye neziphelo, banokuthi baphindwe kathathu ukuba bahlupheke ngenxa yengxaki ye-cardiovascular problem kunezo ezinokusabalalisa okuchaseneyo.
Uphando lubandakanya ukuthatha inxaxheba kwabasetyhini be-2.683 be-postmenopausal, kunye nesalathisi esiqhelekileyo somzimba. Baye balandelwa iminyaka eyi-18 ukuze bafumane indlela ukusasazwa kwamafutha okuchaphazela ngayo ukuba nokwenzeka kokubandezeleka kwizifo zentliziyo. Ngama-291 kuphela awayenohlobo oluthile lwemeko.
Ngaba izicubu ze-adipose zinokusasazwa kwakhona?
Omnye weyona minqweno inkulu ukuphelisa amanqatha asekhaya, kodwa siyazi ukuba akunakwenzeka. Asikwazi ukuxelela umzimba ukuba ungawakhetha phi amanqatha oza kuwasebenzisela amafutha. Kodwa ngaba inokuphinda isasazwe? Ewe, ababhali bophononongo abaqinisekanga kakhulu ngaloo nto. Enyanisweni, abakhange bakwazi ukumisela ukuba loluphi uhlobo loqeqesho oluya kuba lufaneleke kakhulu ukulususa kwindawo ethile ukuya kwenye.
Ngokufanayo, izazinzulu zithi indawo yezicubu ze-adipose inxulumene kakhulu ne-genetics, nangona ukutya ukutya okunempilo kunye nokuzivocavoca rhoqo kunokuguqulwa.
