Yellow circle around the eyelids or the scientific term
xanthelasmata turned out to be a marker of one's risk of heart problems.
According to a study led by Professor Anne Tybjærg-Hansenfrom at the University
of Copenhagen, Denmark, recently.
Such people are deemed to be at an elevated risk of heart
attack and ought to change their lifestyle to improve their health, the
scientists completing a long-term study in Denmark said.
The researchers wanted to investigate links between
xanthelasmata and arcus corneae and an increased risk of heart attack, heart
disease, stroke, severe thickening of the arteries or premature death in the
general population, as the evidence in this area is lacking.
