It’s all related, though. Liver disease often causes cardiovascular issues, or vice versa. It’s most pronounced in skinny people with fatty liver disease, who have a significantly elevated risk of dying from cardiovascular disease. Either way, the liver is immensely important for a whole bunch of metabolic functions, and cardiovascular health depends on all those metabolic functions working properly.

Almost all my uncles are built like a candy apple. Not a single case of liver failure in the family. Sure heart issues are everywhere because they’re built like fucking apples on a stick.

Yup. I have fatty liver. It’s hereditary. It’s why I run and eat healthy.

Diabetes does that too. Skinny extremities, thick/round torsos with almost no transition between the two shapes.
Most of the men in my mother’s extended family have diabetes, and look just like that.

So many comorbidities. Alcohol also has a large play. Rich foods like red meat. My God it’s such a long list.
People if you’re reading this. Eat your veggies. Limit your red meet. Limit your alcohol. Fiber fiber fiber. Then pray you have good genetics lol
