Yes mostly. You see, fats can have a big influence to heart diseases due to lipids that are present in the blood. Besides that, there are also other fatty acids that can affect the heart. bad cholesterols also tend to be present in the blood of fat people. The blood vessels also become affected not only the heart if you are fat.
