It is already known in the medical community that a larger size in humans is associated with increased blood pressure, LDL-C ("bad cholesterol"), triglycerides, and fasting glucose; and decreased HDL-C ("good cholesterol").
According to the paper’s abstract, the researchers concluded that: “Compared with a sample of healthy young-adult men, a sample of substantially larger NFL players had a lower prevalence of impaired fasting glucose, less reported smoking, a similar prevalence of dyslipidemia, and a higher prevalence of hypertension."
"Increased size measured by BMI was associated with increased CVD risk factors in this combined population.”
According to the Science News article: “The fact that players can have the added weight and still maintain good heart health ‘shows that NFL players are more highly conditioned than ever and don’t have the type of problems we should suspect — and that maybe were occurring in the ’50s, ’60s and ’70s.’”
And, “The NFL sponsored the new study but had no input in its design or conduct. The researchers included team physicians and outside medical experts, including cardiologists. Based on these findings, the NFL is instituting widespread blood pressure testing of players.”
