Beware, tall and skinny Women are more susceptible to these Bacteria Hit

jakarta, fat women are likely to be during this time that risk exposed to various types of diseases. but make no mistake, women who are tall and skinny are more susceptible to bacterial hit on this one.a new study finds women who are tall and skinny are more prone to nontuberculous mycobacteria (ntm). this infection also shows a weak immune response associated with fat cells.experts reveal the nontuberculous mycobacteria (ntm) have dozens of species and is widespread in the environment either in the air or the ground. although these bacteria can infect the skin and other parts of the body, but most often infects the lungs.lung infections very difficult to treat, often requiring surgery and intravenous antibiotic therapy which is strong and long time. evidence suggests these infections has been increasing in recent decades."women who are tall, thin seem to be more susceptible to infection with ntm," said edward chan, md, senior author and professor of health from national jewish health as quoted from medindia, saturday (26/1/2013).in this study patients acquired ntm average height of 2 inches (5-6 cm) taller and body mass index were 2 points lower than normal imt, as well as have a bit of fat on her body."these findings help us to identify anyone who is exposed to a greater risk of the disease and may indicate what kind of therapy is more effective," said dr. chan.in addition to the patient's body type, ntm also has a different immune response. fat cells produce hormones, leptin and adiponektin known is responsible for regulating weight and immune function.the production of leptin in general increases in obese people, it helps stimulate the immune system in fighting infections. in people who are skinny and fat cells also slightly leptinnya and production decreases.while the adiponektin which is a hormone commonly immunosuppressive decreased in people who have a body fat. the results of this study were published in the latest issue of the american journal of respiratory and critical care.(ver/vit )
