In real life, some middle-aged and elderly people like to wear elastic waistband pants, thinking that it is more convenient to put on and take off. Some of them, in order to prevent the elastic from becoming loose too early, will specifically choose elastic bands with stronger elasticity.
However, doctors said in an interview: "Tight elastic waistbands are not conducive to health."
Firstly, when the elastic waistband is too tight, it can easily increase the blood pressure in the abdomen, leading to poor venous blood return and massage, causing inadequate blood supply. Secondly, a overly tight elastic waistband can press against the kidneys on both sides, increasing the pressure on the kidneys, obstructing the internal circulation of the kidneys, and in severe cases, may even lead to kidney damage or kidney atrophy. If one has diabetes, a too tight elastic band can also affect the normal concentration of blood sugar.
"For some thinner people, the elastic waistband should not be too tight," the doctor said. Thinner individuals have thin subcutaneous tissues, and if the elastic waistband is too tight, it can easily cause skin abrasion. Moreover, during meals, it's best not to wear pants with a tight elastic waistband, as this could affect the normal peristalsis of the gastrointestinal tract, leading to indigestion.
The doctor also reminded that if one must wear pants with elastic waistbands, then they should choose ones with moderate elasticity, which feel comfortable on the body and do not create a sense of compression in the abdomen. Furthermore, the waistband should not be pulled too high or too low; too high is bad for the stomach, and too low is bad for the abdomen. Generally, it is advisable to fasten it around the navel area.
