Very few of the thickest women in the world weighed over four hundred kilograms. In the 20th century, American Carol Ann Jaeger, Rosalie Bradford, Carol Huffner and Brazilian resident Jocelyn da'Silva exceeded the unbelievable milestone. These four cases of extreme obesity among women representatives are presented in the article.
In the
history of medicine, the name Carol Yager (Yeager) is on a par with the names of the heaviest people on the planet. Moreover, an American born in 1960 occupies the first position in the rating “The Thickest Women”. In her life there was a period when the weight approached 727 (!) Kilograms. However, this astronomical figure has no documentary evidence. 544 kg appear in official sources, that is
, Carol's
body weight at the time of her death in July 1994. Morbid obesity was caused by an eating disorder that Carol Ann Yager had suffered since childhood. Like the other thickest women in the world, Carol has lost the ability to move independently. In her short life (she died from kidney failure at the age of 34) there was a period when the weight decreased by 236 kilograms.
The world record for losing weight belongs to the American Rosalie Bradford, born in 1943. This magnificent person was destined to be twice on the pages of the book of records. The first record is a huge weight (544 kg), the second is the loss of 416 kg of body fat. Not one representative of the female population of the planet was able to lose weight so effectively. The thickest women often fall into despair of the inability to lead a full life, sometimes they even resort to the least - they try to reduce their scores to life. Rosalie Bradford was not an exception, at the age of 45 decided to commit suicide. Acquaintance with
Richard Simmons, a well-known specialist in the field of weight loss, gave Rosalie a new chance, which she successfully used. Following the instructions of her guru, she was able to withstand severe restrictions in the daily diet and lose more than four centners of fat. Rosalie Bradford died at 63 years old.
As a rule, the fattest women rarely live to adulthood. However, a resident of Hollywood Carol Huffner, who weighed 464 kilograms, was measured out a relatively long century for an overly obese lady. As long as this was possible, Carol was a regular visitor to the bingo hall. Having reached maximum weight, she made unsuccessful attempts to find a sponsor who would help undergo a weight loss program in Boston. At the age of 59, Carol died of heart failure.
Joselina da'Silva is a resident of Brazil, whose weight exceeded 400 kg (406). There are times when the thickest women are subjected to difficult procedures undertaken for advertising purposes. In a prestigious institution for the full, who set the task of minimizing the weight of a woman, and using the results to attract new customers, Jocelyna endured a harsh diet and three surgical operations to remove adipose tissue. She lost weight, but left the walls of the treatment center and very quickly returned to her previous size. The cause of her death at the age of 37 was
bilateral pneumonia .
