Obesity is a chronic, multifactorial disease linked to multiple chronic conditions. Rates of obesity are increasing in the United States and worldwide. Although body mass index is an imperfect measure of body mass, it remains the most widely used metric. Other available measures of body and fat mass include anthropometric measurements, bioelectrical impedance analysis, and imaging. Factors implicated in increasing obesity rates in the United States include diets with ultra-processed foods; decreased levels of physical activity; iatrogenic effects from commonly prescribed drugs with weight gain...

In their efforts to lose weight, obese individuals may be fighting a powerful set of evolutionary forces honed in an environment drastically different from that of today.

Maternal obesity and hyperinsulinemia were associated with increased obesity in those offspring already genetically predisposed to become obese on high-energy (HE) diets.

Interestingly, parent’s perception of a quality diet seemed to influence PA in both OWO and underweight/normal weight children, suggesting parental perception of healthy diet may result in better PA patterns.

Doctors in many fields need a better understanding of whether paediatric obesity matters, how to diagnose it, and whether it should be treated (and if so, how best to do this).

The role of body weight on human reproductive function and fertility has received considerable attention in the medical literature. Time-to-pregnancy studies are very useful in determining the overall effects of any exposure on overall fertility. Studying the role of overweight and obesity among couples undergoing assisted reproductive technology (ART) can serve multiple purposes. First, it provides clinically useful information addressing the specific needs of infertile couples. Second, ART provides a unique opportunity to study the role of obesity on reproductive physiology and pathology. Ob...

Rappel des criteres de l'obesite (chez l'enfant et l'adulte), and de sa prevalence, envers la morbidite and la mortalite cardio-vasculaire and metabolique.

Initial assessments of childhood obesity patients should include taking a careful history, investigating comorbidities, family history and potentially modifiable behaviors, and physical examination and associated familial risk factors.

It is proposed the possibility that similar cases of cardiomyopathy of obesity will be on the increase because Japanese dietary habits are now becoming more similar to those of Caucasians.

The chronic low grade inflammation in the adipose tissue is called as “metabolic inflammation” and seems to play an important role in the pathogenesis of insulin resistance and T2DM

The prevalence of obesity has had and will continue to have a significant effect on the mortality experience in most areas of actuarial practice, and it is important for actuaries to enhance their understanding of these effects.

This type of diabetes is typically seen in the young, and the onset is often sudden, andHyperglycaemia may be intense and ketonuria marked, and a considerable loss of urinary nitrogen due to excessive gluconeogenesis.

Obese adults can report their weight and height with reasonable accuracy, but are poor at reporting their weight status category, and most do not consider themselves to be obese.

OBESITAS MOLEKULER PADA MANUSIA, AVERTEBRATA, DAN KHAMIR Dalam beberapa tahun terakhir, obesitas telah menjadi salah satu masalah kesehatan utama di negara maju, dengan Amerika Serikat ada di urutan teratas. Meskipun terjadi perbaikan besar pada faktor sanitasi, perawatan kebidanan dan vaksinasi, tetapi usia harapan hidup menurun seiring dengan meningkatnya obesitas. Saat ini, obesitas merupakan epidemi global yang memengaruhi orang dewasa dan anak-anak, dan secara signifikan berhubungan dengan morbiditas dan mortalitas. Epidemi ini disebabkan oleh pergeseran besar penduduk ke pusat-pusat perk...

Although BMI categorization is widely used, it has several limitations, and it may not reflect the same degree of adiposity in different populations, due to different body proportions in different ethnicities.

Theobesite abdominale, estimee par une augmentation du tour de taille, indique un risque de complications metaboliques (diabete de type 2), cardiovasculaires and par cancers independamment du niveau d’IMC.

This chapter discusses diet-induced obesity in animal models and how this compares to human obesity, and potential therapies to limit obesity.

The concept of energy balance combined with an understanding of how the body achieves balance may be a useful framework for develop-ing strategies to reduce obesity rates.

The characteristics of pulmonary functions in obesity and the possible mechanisms of hypoventilation in patients with OHS were reviewed and the definition of OHS and descriptions of thr severity of O HS as recommended by Respiratory Failure Research Committee of Japanese Ministry of Health and Welfare are introduced.

It was found that non-obese females view their bodies more favorably than obese females and no significant results were found to support a relationship between childhood and adult onset obesity.

It was found that shorter height with accelerated pulse rate subjects was prone to cardiovascular diseases and short height with a higher pulse rate is obesity's best indicator correlating in obese or study group.

The obesity described in these animals was familial in nature and was significantly associated with Type 2 diabetes.

Evidence indicates that AGT-203 is involved in abnormal glucose metabolism leading to the proposition thatAGT- 203 is a new candidate gene for type 2 diabetes.

Whether early infantile obesity is actually benign childhood obesity is determined, and its course can simply be followed without any particular intervention.

It was found that the ratio of depression and stress score was higher when the subject was female, among those whose subjective evaluation of their own finances and health condition was negative, and those who suffered from severe obesity.

Altered levels of most metabolites might associate to insulin sensitivity and insulin resistance in MHO and MUHNO individuals, respectively, and abnormal amino acid metabolism and ammonia recycling involved in unhealthy phenotypes (MUHO,MUHNO) might be associated with insulin resistance.

Significantly higher values for body mass index and waist circumference were found in groups with earlier obesity onset, but not for body fat percent (%BF) and waist to hip ratio (WHR), suggesting treatment of obesity and other risk factors for cardiovascular diseases should be initiated as early as possible.
