Obesity Defn high amt body fat in relation to lean body mass, or BMI ≥30
BMI defn measure of wt relative to height: wt in kg div by the square of pt’s ht in meters
Obesity trends in US epidemic: 60M (doubled since 1980)
Overweight: adult defn An adult who has a BMI between 25 and 29.9
Obese: adult defn An adult who has a BMI of 30 or higher
Morbidly Obese: adult defn Adult who has BMI of 40 or higher (w/o comorbids) or who has BMI of 35 or higher with co morbidities
BMI Below 18.5 = Underweight
BMI 18.5 to 24.9 = Healthy weight
BMI 25.0 to 29.9 = Overweight
BMI 30 or higher = Obese
Considered an alternative to direct measures of body fat = BMI
How is BMI used? Screening tool - not a diagnostic tool
Risk for developing heart dz, etc, increases with waist measurement of: > 40 inches (men) & > 35 inches (women)
BMI: kids/teens: age & sex-specific; calculated same as for adults
BMI percentile = Plotted on CDC BMI-for-age growth charts (for girls or boys) to obtain a percentile ranking
BMI percentile growth charts show: wt status categories used w/ kids & teens (underweight, healthy weight, at risk of overweight, and overweight)
Underweight: percentile: < 5th%
Healthy weight; percentile: 5th% to < 85th %
*At risk of overweight: percentile: 85th % to < 95th %
*Overweight: percentile: ≥ to 95th %
Reasons that age and sex are considered for children and teens Amt of body fat changes with age; amt of body fat differs between girls and boys
Health consequences of overweight & obesity for adults HTN; dyslipidemia; T2DM; Coronary heart dz; Thromboembolic events; Sleep apnea / resp problems; Gallbladder dz; Osteoarthritis
Metabolic syndrome defn Abd obesity (waist > 102 cm /40 in (M) & >88 cm / 35 inches (F); TG ≥ 150; HDL ≤ 40 (M) & ≤ 50 (F); BP ≥130/85; Fasting blood glucose ≥110

Effect of High-Protein, Low-Fat Diet on Body Wt: Lose more wt than high-carb diet
FDA approved drugs to tx obesity Orlistat; Sibutramine, Phentermine (ST)
Phentermine: AE Amphetamine like response (irritability / tremulousness / increased HR); high BP; caution in pt w/ HTN & underlying heart dz
Orlistat MOA prevents fat digestion and absorption by binding to GI Lipases
Guidelines for Increasing Physical Activity Assessment (med / psych readiness; current activities, barriers to activity); physical activity plan; start activity slowly & gradually increase planned aerobic to 200 min/wk; enhance compliance
Weight loss surgery: when: BMI >40 or >35 with comorbids; if med tx has failed
Weight loss surgery: maximum wt loss: in first 18-24 months
