Munich (netdoktor.de) – overweight makes not only more vulnerable to health problems such as heart Kreislaufkerkrankungen, arthritis and diabetes – thick people carry a greater risk to die in a serious car accident. This shows a study of the New York Buffalo School of medicine. Particularly at risk are therefore obese (obese) people; However, slight obesity can provide even some protection against injury. The study by Professor Dietrich Jehle and his team reported in the journal “American Journal of Emergency Medicine” (doi:10.1016/j.ajem.2010.10.017).
Their findings won the researchers from the analysis of the accident data of 155.584 drivers. After taking into account various factors Jehle and colleagues searched for a possible link between the body mass index (BMI) of the driver and the risk of death as a result of the accident.
The results: Obese people (BMI between 25 and 29) can benefit even in a car crash from their small tummy. “The results have shown a bit more belly can become a protective pad during a car accident”, so Jehle. By a car accident ends for moderately overweight people even less frequently with the death as for underweight or normal-weight riders.
With additional mass, the fat is however to the risk, Jehle white: “Too much belly pushes people too close to the steering wheel, which greatly increases the risk of death.” So, the risk of death, as a result of an accident is 21 percent higher than at normal weight with a BMI between 35 and 39. There is even a 56 percent higher risk of death for severely obese people (BMI of 40 or more).
In the light of the data, Jehle for crash tests with thick Dummies pleads: “crash test dummies have saved lives, and provide valuable data, how the human body in an accident, but they represent normal-weight people.” Overweight Dummies dagegegen could help to improve, that the risk of death for thickness may be reduced so the car design.
More than half of all people in Germany are obese: to 60 percent of men and 43% of women bring too many kilos on the scales. The proportion of obese (BMI > 30) is 16 percent (men) or 14 per cent (women). (mf)
