Garrett, PhD; and Barry M. Popkin, PhD Pages Background: Understanding the natural history of obesity in a population may be a critical step toward developing effective interventions. Objective: To assess the development of body mass and examine the role of race or ethnicity, sex, and birth year in obesity onset in young U.S. adults. Design: Prospective cohort study. Setting: The National Longitudinal Survey of Youth 1979, a national sample with oversampling of minority ethnic groups. Participants: 9179 persons. Measurements: Body mass index (BMI) calculated from 12 self-reported height and weight samples recorded between 1981 and 1998. Logistic regression identified predictors of obesity at age 35 to 37 years. Cox proportional hazards models compared the incidence of obesity by ethnicity and birth year. Results: Overall, 26% of men and 28% of women were obese (BMI

Obesity What is obesity? Obesity is defined as a generalized accumulation of body fat. Obesity is determined by measuring both the height and weight of the adolescent. An adolescent is considered obese if he/she is significantly over the ideal weight for his/her height. Overweight is defined as increased body size with increased lean body mass and without excess accumulation of body fat. A uniform standard to separate obesity from overweight has not been established. Research studies suggest that overweight adolescents may become overweight adults. What causes obesity? During the 1990s, one physiologist proposed a "set point theory" which has continued to gain support. The set point theory suggests that weight is determined by complex interactions of neural, hormonal, and metabolic factors. Genetic and familial influences contribute to metabolic rates and physical activity levels important to energy expenditure. Some effort is now being made to address two types of obesity: o besity with specific organic etiology (endogenous) o besity caused by simple excessive caloric intake, genetic/familial, psychogenic and mixed factors (exogenous)

Home Shows Strong Medicine Fact Sheets Subject: Obesity What Is It? Obesity is a chronic disease defined as an excess of body fat. It is one of the most prevalent health problems in the United States, affecting at least 39 million Americans: more than one quarter of all adults and approximately one in five children. Obesity is the second-leading cause of preventable deaths and is a major risk factor for serious health conditions, including high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, stroke, heart disease and some forms of cancer. Studies also show that upper body obesity, particularly excess fat around the abdomen, increases health risk more than fat accumulation in the lower body (the hips and thighs). Symptoms In addition to having an above-average body weight, those with obesity may also experience trouble sleeping; sleep apnea (a condition in which breathing is irregular and periodically stops during sleep); shortness of breath, especially on exertion; joint pain; varicose veins; skin problems caused when moisture accumulates in the folds of the skin; early menopause; low self-esteem; gallstones; and osteoarthritis in weight-bearing joints (especially the knees). Obesity has also been linked to high blood pressure, as well as high levels of blood sugar (glucose), cholesterol and triglycerides. Will I Get Fat?

Obesity Obesity - the abnormal increase in body fat - is a chronic disease that affects more than 70 million Americans. You are considered obese if your body weight is 20 percent above the desirable weight for a person of your age, sex, height, and body build. Excessive eating, lack of exercise and genetics are some of the factors that can cause obesity. If you are excessively heavy, you have a greater chance of developing serious illnesses, such as heart disease, high blood pressure, stroke, diabetes, depression, and certain forms of cancer.

Effective Serotonin-Raising Obesity Drugs May Become Fad Medicine DRUG USE TRENDS September-October 1994 New research is showing some unexpected results about the nature of and treatment for obesity. Often considered a disease rooted "in failure of will" or "simple overeating," doctors are finding that obesity may be caused by an imbalance of chemicals in the brain (Michael Miller, "Respect for Diet Pills Rises as Studies Shed New Light on Obesity," New York Times , July 20, 1994, p. A1). Studies in the 1970s by husband-and-wife team Richard and Judith Wurtman found that overeaters may be treating themselves for depression. The key is the chemical serotonin, which is produced in synthesis of starch and regulates mood. Overeaters may be scrambling to boost their serotonin levels, and also their moods. With new serotonin-regulating drugs, doctors have begun studying their use in treating obesity. One such study by Dr. Michael Weintraub at the University of Rochester found that those taking Pondimin, a diet drug that raises serotonin levels, lost 16% of their weight over eight months, compared to members of the placebo group who lost 5% of their weight. Today, the number of prescriptions for Pondimin is seven times higher than that before the study. Similarly, other researchers found that a serotonin-raising drug was an effective treatment for depression with the unexpected side-effect of weight loss. That drug, Prozac, has not yet been approved by the FDA for treatment of obesity, although it is a well-known and often-prescribed treatment for depression. Prozac has been approved for use in treating bulimia, an eating disorder.

jadecampus.com Classes Qi Gong News Italiano ... Contact us Obesity: Growing Problem for Chinese Children Xinhua 21-MAY-99 BEIJING (May 21) XINHUA - A recent survey shows that obesity is a growing problem among Chinese children, not the least of which is a problem with disease. Specialists have found that obesity among children has grown 9 percent annually over the past decade, indicating that the number of fat children will double in a decade. They also say that in some poverty-stricken areas, the annual increase of obesity among children is close to 30 percent, higher than in urban areas. The obesity is not caused by hormone injections, glandular problems, or hereditary factors, but on increased nutrition and insufficient exercise. The domestic media have given a lot of coverage these days to Deng Xuejian, the 11-year boy whose weight had hit 174 kilograms, a world record, and who has lost over 60 kilograms thanks to a combined acupuncture, traditional Chinese medicine, sports therapy, and a strict diet regimen. Specialists have pointed out that obesity among infants is closely related to adult obesity and suggest that women should prevent rapid weight increases during their first three months of pregnancy and also recommend breast feeding, which can help them to avoid over-feeding the child.
