NEWSFLASH MEDICINE: BATTLING THE OBESITY EPIDEMIC Manila, August 23, 2002 (STAR) By Ramon Abarquez Jr., MD - At a time when issues like poverty, unemployment and the real price of galunggong occupy the national consciousness, it will probably come as a surprise to many that obesity and overweight are becoming an epidemic in many parts of the Philippines. In a nationwide survey conducted by the Philippine Association for the Study of Obesity and Overweight (PASOO), 21 percent of Filipinos on medical consultation were found to be excessively fat, and obesity rates in Metro Manila, Luzon, the Visayas and Mindanao were found to be 19 percent, 34 percent, 22 percent and eight percent, respectively. Furthermore, data from the Department of Science and Technology indicate that 25 percent of children in private schools between the ages of eight and 10 were found to be overweight. These figures are actually expected to increase in the coming years. These statistics clearly indicate the emergence of a growing health problem. Overweight and obesity are important not only because of aesthetic reasons, but also due to the resulting increase in deaths due to diabetes, stroke, high blood pressure, heart disease, osteoarthritis, and even cancers of the colon, gall bladder, uterus and breast. Latest findings also indicate that in over half of obese patients, fat globules are already deposited in the heart that can lead to heart failure. Even obstructive sleep apnea that can lead to bangungot or sudden death during sleep becomes more common.

Are you - or someone close to you - among them? A person is considered obese if he or she weighs at least 20 percent more than the maximum healthy weight for his or her height. About three in 10 people in the United States are obese, and the condition is becoming increasingly common. Obesity can cause many health problems due to the strain it puts on organs and joints. It increases the risk of some widespread and potentially fatal disorders such as hypothyroidism , coronary artery disease, stroke and high blood pressure, and may also lead to psychological problems such as depression Causes of obesity Overeating and a sedentary lifestyle Hormonal disorders such as hypothyroidism (rare) Corticosteroid drugs Psychological problems Are there complications?

Dictionary Medicine (O) OBESITY Obesity is the condition when a person has 20 percent or more extra body fat for their age, height, sex , and bone structure. Fat works against the action of insulin and extra body fat is thought to be a risk factor for diabetes. OBESOPHOBIA Obesophobia is the fear of gaining weight. OBJECT RELATIONS In psychoanalysis , object relations is the emotional relations between subject and object which, through a process of identification, are believed to constitute the developing ego. In this context, the word 'object' refers to any person or thing, or representational aspect of them, with which the subject forms an intense emotional relationship. Object relations were first described by German psychoanalyst Karl Abraham in an influential paper, published in 1924, in which he developed Freud' s ideas on infantile sexuality and the development of the libido. Object- relations theory has become one of the central themes of post-Freudian psychoanalysis, particularly through the writings of Melanie Klein, Scottish psychoanalyst Ronald Fairbairn, and Donald Winnicott, all deeply influenced by Abraham. They have each developed distinct, though complementary, approaches to analysis, evolving theories of personal development based on early parental attachments.

Do Diet Foods Work? by Susan Gayle Wynn, DVM We all know the causes of obesity—too little exercise and too many calories. There are two other factors probably at work here. An individual's personality may affect his/her metabolism: placid, relaxed animals will gain weight more easily than pets with a lot of nervous energy. Genetic makeup also plays a large role. Although "hormones" are not a common cause (as you may have heard a friend or two say), illnesses such as hyperadrenocorticism and hypothyroidism, or over-medication with steroids, may be associated with weight gain. As you can appreciate, some pets are simply going to lose and maintain their weight better than others. Obesity is a frightening disease, because, in addition to causing serious discomfort and body dysfunction, it exacerbates other diseases. Obese animals may have trouble breathing. Obese animals with heart or lung disease can have deadly trouble. Arthritic animals undergo needless discomfort when carrying extra fat around. Obesity is known to cause liver disease, hypertension, constipation, heat intolerance, and increased risk under anesthesia. With all these problems, it is easy to see why obese animals do not have normal life expectancies. In addition, lean animals have better immune system function and don't form tumors as readily.

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.

Henriette's herbal homepage herbfaqs articles classic texts ... The Eclectic Practice of Medicine by Rolla L. Thomas, M. S., M. D., 1907. Obesity. Synonyms Definition It is difficult to draw the line between the normal and abnormal amount of adipose tissue, though we may be safe in classifying an individual as obese whenever the fat becomes burdensome, and as soon as the function of any part becomes impaired thereby, it becomes a disease. Etiology Heredity Age Sex Race Disease Habit The existing causes of obesity are undoubtedly due to overeating and drinking, especially fat-producing foods, and the use of alcohol, beer, and sweet wines. While the carbohydrates and fats are more prone to produce obesity, even the albuminoids will give rise to the same condition when more is taken than is necessary for the daily waste. This is especially true when the patient leads an inactive life, since active muscular contractions lead to the decomposition of a large amount of fat. Strümpell says, in the daily ingestion of five or six glasses of beer, there is taken into the system, from this source alone, one-half the total amount of starch required by the system. The obesity of beer-drinkers is thus readily accounted for. Pathology .—The subcutaneous cellular tissue is the first to receive the fatty deposits and the "

Research Molecular Mechanisms of the Disease Process Basic research in lipoprotein metabolism investigating good (HDL) and bad (LDL) cholesterol which translates into our clinical interest in controlling human lipoprotein disorders. Clinical research projects include new pharmacotherapies in type 1 and type 2 diabetes, including novel insulin sensitizers and new insulin analogs. Clinical research in Obesity includes lifestyle interventions and novel pharmacotherapeutic agents used as adjunctive agents in Obesity management. Type 1 diabetes is caused by the body's defense or immune system destroying the insulin-producing islet cells. Studies are underway to investigate whether insulin, given before the onset of type1diabetes, can prevent the onset of disease. One disadvantage of using insulin as a preventative therapy is that it can cause low blood sugar reactions. Using a unique insulin (B25 Asp analog) which has been slightly modified so that it does not lower blood sugar, recent studies at the University of Kentucky in an animal model of diabetes demonstrate that this analog prevents diabetes more effectively than insulin. Thus, this may be an ideal agent for clinical use in individuals at risk to develop diabetes since it can be used without the risk of low blood sugar reactions. These translational studies will be invaluable in development of therapies for the prevention of type 1 diabetes in man.

English - Adult English - Pediatric Spanish - Adult Spanish - Pediatric Adolescent Medicine 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: obesity with specific organic etiology (endogenous) obesity caused by simple excessive caloric intake, genetic/familial, psychogenic and mixed factors (exogenous)

PIDL Home/ Contents Development Nutrition Acute Illness ... Psychosocial Adolescent Medicine POLYCYSTIC OVARY SYNDROME (PCOS) Polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) was originally described in 1905 by Stein and Leventhal as a syndrome consisting of amenorrhea, hirsutism, and obesity in association with enlarged polycystic ovaries. It is now realized that this relatively common syndrome is an extremely heterogenous clinical syndrome that begins soon after menarche and some authors prefer to refer to it as a syndrome of hyperandrogenic chronic anovulation . In fact, earlier studies of PCOS have focused on ovarian morphological findings and were considered to be an important diagnostic criteria. However, it was found that polycystic changes of the ovaries were observed in some normally cycling women. Furthermore, polycystic changes of the ovaries were shown to be associated with other well-defined diseases such as Cushing's syndrome, and an ovarian or adrenal tumor capable of producing androgen. In addition, recent studies have demonstrated that some women with characteristic clinical features of PCOS have normal-sized ovaries. Indeed, nothing inherently abnormal has thus far been found in the ovaries of PCOS. Therefore, the focus on ovarian morphology was shifted towards the hormonal characteristics of the syndrome.
