Six-Pack Abs Six Times Worse For Heart?

[Jer]

See, clearly us with keg-shaped abs were simply smarter. Add in the fact that it will take my body 20x longer to decompose if I'm ever murdered and hidden and it's been obvious we were always planning ahead.

Bigger abs linked to heart disease in men

Researchers have found that men with a larger abdominal muscle area have a greater risk of heart disease.

This headline is very misleading. The study is basically saying that those with higher ab muscle density will be less likely to have CVD while those with higher ab muscle area will be at a greater risk to have CVD in men. Greater muscle area without having high muscle density would be due to intramuscular fat or fat behind the ab muscle (visceral fat), stretching the ab muscles outward or enlarging the area of the muscle.

From the study:
Unfavorable body composition is a known risk factor for cardiovascular disease (CVD) independent of health behaviors, with a large body of research showing associations between excess adiposity and CVD morbidity and mortality.1, 2 Recent studies have highlighted the important role lean muscle may play in preventing morbidity, independent of adiposity. Across studies, muscle has been associated with lower risk of type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and all‐cause mortality.3, 4, 5, 6, 7

Different characteristics of lean muscle may be more relevant to this association. A growing body of evidence has shown that higher muscle density, a proxy measure of intramuscular fat infiltration and indicator of muscle quality,8 may be more strongly associated with reduced morbidity and mortality than muscle mass or size, which, in some studies, has been associated with greater risk.9, 10 Consistent with this, we recently showed that muscle density predicted markedly lower risk of all‐cause mortality in a diverse cohort, whereas those with greater muscle area had greater risk of all‐cause mortality over the 12‐year follow‐up period.7

Anymore it seems like they all want us fat, unhealthy, and weak. Sure seems like a huge increase in the anti exercise articles in the last couple years.

Whatever workout boy. Thanks for not letting us have our glory for at least two pages

Right on, this is a big nothingburger.

Mega corporations(Pepsi, Coca-Cola, Nestle, P&G,etc.), the health care industry, pharmaceutical companies, the bought and paid for FDA
It's in all of their best interest($$$) to keep feeding us junk and having more and more health issues.

One of the only sectors that might not want us that way is the health insurance industry as they can keep cashing checks without paying out if you never need to use your insurance.

And yes, my tinfoil hat is on TIGHT!

Too lazy to read the article but pretty sure core strength is more important than washboard abs.

SAN DIEGO — Big abs could spell bad new for a man’s health.

I love articles that immediately start out with a typo. It saves me the trouble of reading any further.

So, without reading the article, I assume that guys with 6 packs have bad hearts because of all of the rigorous sex they are having.
