SarahBell Posted August 11, 2015 Author Share Posted August 11, 2015 1.1% Doesnt mention bevvy though which is strange. Is alcohol a stroke risk factor beyond the BP and cholesterol measurements? Only if you're a very heavy drinker in which case I suspect the odds are it won't be a HA that gets you. http://www.drinkaware.co.uk/check-the-facts/health-effects-of-alcohol/effects-on-the-body/heart-disease Long-term, heavy drinking can lead to heart diseaseDrinking more than the lower risk guidelines regularly and over a long period of time can increase your risk of developing heart disease. This is because, drinking at this level can: Increase the risk of high blood pressure. Drinking excessive amounts of alcohol causes raised blood pressure which is one of the most important risk factors for having a heart attack or a stroke. Increases in your blood pressure can also be caused by weight gain from excessive drinking (3). Heavy drinking weakens the heart muscle, which means the heart can’t pump blood as efficiently. It’s known as cardiomyopathy and can cause premature death, usually through heart failure (4). The heart may be enlarged (5) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest eight Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 1.1% Doesnt mention bevvy though which is strange. I got 1.7. I think I'm a bit older than you, and technically I might be "overweight" - 6ft and around 14 stone, although nobody ever believes that when I tell them, I'm actually quite skinny. It's always been a bit of a mystery which bit of me is hiding all the weight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the OAG rules are going to stipulated a maximum body size/girth. That'll do in my useless, fat, lazy BIL - although I think the current cuts have done him in already but I dont think he's told my sister. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some people would pay for that. Make sure you look a little bit fit though (not over worked out BTW!), as the "Belsen" look does not sell well!
