Obese people are 'drowning in their own fat', as it blocks airways in the lungs, study finds

"Obese people are drowning in their own fat, as it blocks airways in the lungs, research suggests. A new study provides the first evidence that fat can accumulate in the airway walls, hindering efforts to breathe.

Scientists already know that people who are overweight or obese are more likely to suffer from wheezing and asthma, but the reasons for this have not been completely explained.

The new study, published in the European Respiratory Journal, suggests that the fatty tissue alters the structure of people's airways - and could be one reason behind the increased risk of asthma.

Study author John Elliot, a senior research officer at Sir Charles Gairdner Hospital in Perth, Australia, said: "Our research team studies the structure of the airways within our lungs and how these are altered in people with respiratory disease.

"Looking at samples of lung, we spotted fatty tissue that had built up in the airway walls.

"We wanted to see if this accumulation was correlated with body weight."

The researchers examined post-mortem samples of the lung that had been donated for research and stored.

They studied samples from 52 people, including 15 who had no reported asthma, 21 who had asthma but died of other causes and 16 who died of asthma."

Another reason to get healthy. Also a top-rated comment on reddit.com "I was formerly obese. My sleep apnea and snoring virtually disappeared after I lost all my weight. It was a vicious cycle of chronic fatigue and consuming sugary caffeinated beverages to invigorate myself. I have far more energy now that I eat better and the simple act of moving around isn't painful."

That totally makes sense. Especially with the correlation between obesity and sleep apnea. And yes even more reason to get down to a healthy weight. Man I am a bit disturbed now at the possibility of fat building up in my lungs.

Very true article. Losing the weight may be hard but it is much easier on the body.

My mother in law's dog is supposed to weigh about 22 pounds but was 35. I took her to the vet. She said the fatty tissue was making it hard for her to breath. Yikes! The dog is down 5 pounds and doing better. Point is if the vet knew, doctors must be aware too.

You are such an inspiration Keyten! When I lost 40 lbs, all I really was worried about were my knees, lol, like whew I took a lot of weight off my knees. Now I can see it as saving my lungs! I still have another 40 to go, and this article will definitely PUSH me in the right direction.
