RISK heart disorder at the owner's leg length is smaller than the owner of the short leg. This according to research at the University of Bristol, England, led by Dr. Kate Tilling. said the researchers, data from 12,254 men and women aged between 44-65 years studied, found a direct relationship between leg length and intimal-medial thickness (IMT), a measure for the thickness of the walls of blood vessels that are used for early detection a disturbance of atherosclerosis. Atherosclerosis is a condition that hardens the blood vessel wall plaque and dirt, which can cause blockage of blood flow. It is known, the longer the person's leg, the thinner the layer in the stack also blood vessel walls. This situation indicates at least a buildup of plaque and debris inside the blood vessels and a lower risk of heart disease and stroke. According to Tilling and her team report in the American Journal of Epidemiology, leg length is strongly influenced by the early days of birth. For example, various studies linking breastfeeding, diet full of energy at the age of 2-4 years, and the influence of nutrient availability in childhood with a longer leg. To investigate whether long-distance relationship to the early symptoms of heart disease and blood vessels - which would support the opinion that links the relationship between factors in early life with a birth incidence of heart attack and stroke risk - the researchers compared the length of leg veins with BMI in men and women who participated in the study. Researchers determine the leg length by subtracting a person's height when standing with a high when they sat down. That's how long the foot is known that deal directly with BMI. Tilling with the team concludes the study. "Supporting the hypothesis that early life factors such as the birth of drinking milk, nutritional adequacy, and growth in adolescence is perfect, can reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease."
