Obesity has commonly been viewed as the adverse outcome of inappropriate eating and the failure of self-discipline on the part of those afflicted. In fact, medical studies of obesity indicate that this disease is complex and deeply rooted in biologic systems, having multiple causes and types. Obesity is a very serious health problem that can have severe implications and is reaching epidemic status in many parts of the world. Spotlight Health Articles: Morbid Obesity

    Extractions: p The nutrition transition and obesity Obesity in the developing world can be seen as a result of a series of changes in diet, physical activity, health and nutrition, collectively known as the 'nutrition transition.' As poor countries become more prosperous, they acquire some of the benefits along with some of the problems of industrialized nations. These include obesity. Since urban areas are much further along in the transition than rural ones, they experience higher rates of obesity. Cities offer a greater range of food choices, generally at lower prices. Urban work often demands less physical exertion than rural work. And as more and more women work away from home, they may be too busy to shop for, prepare and cook healthy meals at home. The fact that more people are moving to the city compounds the problem. In 1900, just 10 percent of the world population inhabited cities. Today, that figure is nearly 50 percent. That is not to say that rural areas are immune. Increased mechanization of farm activity leads to reduced physical activity at the same time that more food but not necessarily a better variety of foods becomes available. Many rural farmers have given up subsistence farming of multiple crops that provide a more balanced diet in favour of a single, high-yielding cash crop.

Guaranteed Definition Of Obesity: Obesity is an excess of body fat frequently resulting in a significant impairment of health. Obesity results when the size or number of fat cells in a person's body increases. A normal-sized person has between 30 and 35 billion fat cells. When a person gains weight, these fat cells first increase in size and later in number. One pound of body fat represent about 3500 calories. When a person starts losing weight, the cells decrease in size but the number of fat cells generally stays the same. This is part of the reason that once you gain a significant amount of weight, it is more difficult to lose it. However, studies published in 1998 seem to imply that fat cells can be destroyed as a result of certain medications and that a decrease in fat cell number may occur if a lower body weight is maintained for a prolonged period of time.

    Extractions: Subscribe now >> Obesity is a chronic syndrome that may be caused by many factors, including genetics, endocrine regulation of appetite, metabolism, as well as psychological and cultural factors. It is the most common health problem in developed countries throughout the world. There are many conditions, such as diabetes, coronary heart disease, high blood pressure and heart failure, that may be caused or made significantly worse by obesity. Though the cosmetic benefits may appear slight, even small (but permanent) weight losses of 5 to 10 percent in obese people may improve the symptoms of these other "comorbid" conditions or prevent their occurrence. In fact, permanently adopting a healthy lifestyle should be the primary goal, rather than simply losing weight. The first step in managing obesity is determining the patient's body mass index (BMI). This is computed based on the patient's height and weight. Individuals with a BMI of 25.0-29.9 are classified as overweight. Those with a BMI of 30.0 or higher are considered obese; a BMI of 40.0 or higher indicates extreme obesity.

    Extractions: Really. They don't get diabetes either, even if you stuff them with high-fat feed. That's the medical meal described in a recipe just published by James Ntambi and colleagues from the University of Wisconsin-Madison. The researchers removed the SCD-1 gene, which Ntambi identified as a lowly graduate student in 1988. SCD-1 makes an enzyme that inserts a double bond into an unsaturated fatty acid. The result is a saturated fat, which can be stored in the rodent equivalent of spare-tire bulge. Now, when you and I leave one element out of a recipe, it's usually a disaster. Forget the chilies, and you might as well forget the enchilada. Forget the yeast, and your bread may be mistaken for a leaden Frisbee. But deleting SCD-1 from the recipe proved to be some kind of wonderful for Ntambi's mice: They stayed lean. Their blood sugar was lower than normal animals that ate the same high-fat stuff, indicating that they did not have adult-onset or type II diabetes which affects 17 million Americans and is a major element of the growing wave of obesity.

    Extractions: Weight Loss and Obesity About one-third of the U.S. population is overweight. One in five people not only exceeds ideal weight, but also meets the clinical criteria for obesity. In the 1990s, rates of obesity more than doubled, and are currently rising by over 5% per year. Because excess body weight is implicated as a risk factor for many different disorders, including heart disease diabetes , several cancers (such as breast cancer in postmenopausal women, and cancers of the uterus, colon , and kidney), prostate enlargement ( BPH female infertility , uterine fibroids, and gallstones , maintaining a healthy body weight seems prudent. For overweight women, weight loss can significantly improve physical health. A four-year study of over 40,000 women found that weight loss in overweight women was associated with improved physical function and vitality as well as decreased bodily pain. The risk of death from all causes, cardiovascular disease, cancer, or other diseases increases in overweight men and women in all age groups. Losing weight and keeping it off is, unfortunately, very difficult for most people.

    Extractions: Atkins allows large amounts of fat and protein to be consumed, while severely restricting carbohydrates. Most pastas, fruits and breads are restricted. When the human body cannot get the energy it needs from carbohydrates, it breaks down fat and muscle (essentially, this is the first step towards starvation). Substances called ketones form in the bloodstream. On the Atkins diet, appetite is suppressed, but nausea, fatigue and fluid loss can all increase.

    Extractions: Western culture's ideal body image is both unrealistic and unhealthy: few people can be that thin and not suffer health problems. Yet the pressure to conform to that ideal is overwhelming, especially for women—traditionally, the "ideal" body for women has been much less realistic than it has for men. Younger women are particularly at risk, especially if they feel compelled to diet when it isn't necessary. Often their preoccupation with being thin and dieting is unhealthy. Dieting can be the catalyst for many eating disorders, and binge eating is no exception. The process works something like this: first you diet. You make yourself needlessly hungry as you do so. When the hunger becomes too much, you binge. You lose self-esteem because you didn't stick to your diet. You start again, and the whole process begins anew. Fifty percent of people suffering from compulsive eating also suffer from depression. One part of our brain regulates our emotional state; another part determines appetite and recognizing when we've eaten enough. However, these two separate brain functions use the same neurotransmitters and brain chemicals. When we are anxious, depressed or under stress, our perceived need for food rises. We eat.

Both affect more than 50 percent of the U.S. population. Little has been known about the molecular mechanisms linking these two metabolic diseases. Both are associated with a wide range of inflammatory molecular activity in fatty tissue. This activity put into motion the JNK genes that interfere with insulin sensitivity. Type 2 diabetes usually occurs after age 40. People with this type of diabetes do not produce adequate amounts of insulin for the needs of the body and/or cannot use insulin effectively. To test the role of JNK in decreasing insulin sensitivity in a variety of obesity models, the team bred mice lacking either form of the gene JNK1 or JNK2 and mice possessing the JNK genes. Both roups of mice were fed a high-fat, high-calorie diet to induce obesity. A control group of lean mice with identical genotypes was fed a standard diet. JNK activity and protein concentrations were highest in liver, muscle, and fat tissue in mice with the JNK1 gene that were on the high-fat diet compared with lean control mice and mice fed a high-fat diet that lacked the JNK gene. Weight gain rose the sharpest over an eight-week span for the mice on the high-fat diet but particularly for those with the JNK genes. In studying total body fat composition, JNK-deficient mice had significantly decreased total body fat accumulation compared with the other groups.

    http://www.nao.gov.uk/pn/00-01/0001220.htm
    
    Extractions: Price: £11.00 Sir John Bourn, head of the National Audit Office, told Parliament today that the prevalence of obesity in England had tripled over the last 20 years and continues to rise. Most adults in England are now overweight, and one in five is obese. Producing the first authoritative estimates of the costs and consequences of obesity in England, Sir John estimated that obesity accounted for 18 million days of sickness absence and 30,000 premature deaths in 1998. On average, each person whose death could be attributed to obesity lost nine years of life. Treating obesity costs the NHS at least £½ billion a year. The wider costs to the economy in lower productivity and lost output could be a further £2 billion each year. Sir John recommends that greater effort is placed on establishing an evidence based approach to the problem to enable the NHS to adopt a more consistent approach to the management of obesity. Continued and more extensive joint working across government is also needed, both nationally and locally, to promote long term changes in lifestyles. NAO research identified wide variation in the way general practices manage overweight and obese patients, and uncertainty about which treatment and referral options are the most effective. Sir John recommends that the Department of Health leads work to clarify the responsibilities of primary care teams for identifying people at risk from excess weight, and to develop and disseminate guidelines on effective treatment programmes.

     Extractions: Go Back Nutrition for a Living Planet - Home Page Obesity Over one-half of all Americans (about 97 million) are overweight or obese. If you are overweight or obese, carrying this extra weight puts you at risk for developing many diseases, especially heart disease, stroke, diabetes, and cancer. Losing this weight helps to prevent and control these diseases. Obesity is a condition of excess body fat. It is the most common form of malnutrition in the Western world. It is important to note that no "diet or weight loss formula" works independently of an eating plan based on the Dietary Guidelines given by the mainstream nutrition and health institutes. So if you are obese throw away all those "special formulas", supplements, and pills, stop eating more calories than you need, become more physically active and adopt a healthy eating plan. Severe overweight increases the risk for high blood cholesterol, high blood pressure, and diabetes and, hence, for diseases for which these conditions are risk factors (diabetes, coronary heart disease, high blood pressure, neurologic disorders, cancers, and kidney diseases). Obesity thus contributes to premature mortality. Of all obesity-related diseases, noninsulin dependent diabetes is most clearly and strongly associated with obesity. Obesity is associated with too many adipose cells (hyperplastic obesity), adipose cells that are too large (hypertrophic obesity), or both. While changes in the size of adipose cells may occur at any age, the number of adult cells are fixed and determined by weight gain during certain periods of childhood development; fat cell numbers are established by late adolescence and, once established, does not decline.
