Chapter 22 • Obesity, Diabetes, and Physical Activity
Chapter 22 Overview • Obesity • Terminology • Prevalence • Control of body weight • Etiology • Health problems • Treatment • Physical activity • Diabetes • Terminology • Prevalence • Etiology • Health problems • Treatment • Physical activity
Obesity:Terminology and Classification • Overweight • Body weight exceeds standard weight for given height and frame size • Not precise terminology • Does not account for body composition • Obesity • Excessive body fat (men >25%, women >35%) • Borderline obese: men 20 to 25%, women 30 to 35%
Obesity:Terminology and Classification • Body mass index (BMI) • Body weight in kilograms/(height in m)2 • Most widely used standard for obesity classification • Does not account for body composition • Overweight: 25.0 to 29.9 kg/m2 • Obese: 30.0+ kg/m2 • BMI classification cut points change for difference races and ethnicities
Obesity:Prevalence in the United States • Prevalence dramatically since ~1980 • Prevalence of overweight has not changed much • Obesity continues to increase • More prevalent in some races and ethnicities • Mexican-American men • Black women • Increasing prevalence in children and teens
Obesity:Prevalence in the United States • With age: fat mass , lean body mass • Over age 25, average person gains ~0.7 to 1 lb per year • Up to 33 extra lb by age 55 • Will have significant effect on health care • Earlier onset of obesity • Increasing rates of obesity • Earlier onset of obesity-related diseases
Obesity: Worldwide Prevalence • Increases in obesity not unique to United States • Canada, Australia, Europe have seen increases to a lesser degree • Available data vary • Most recent studies show obesity spreading to all regions of the world
Obesity:Control of Body Weight • Body usually carefully balances kilocalorie intake and expenditure • Gain of 1 lb/year represents imbalance of 3,111 kcal per year • Body can balance to within 9 kcal per day • Body may regulate around set point using • Resting metabolic rate (RMR) • Thermal effect of meals (TEM) • Thermal effect of activity (TEA)
Obesity:Control of Body Weight • RMR • Body’s metabolic rate in the early morning • 60 to 75% of total energy expenditure • TEM • Energy expended to digest, store nutrients, etc. • 10% of total energy expenditure • May be defective in obese individuals
Obesity:Control of Body Weight • TEA • Energy expended to accomplish activities • 15 to 30% of total energy expenditure • Balance of RMR, TEM, TEA • Helps body adapt to or kilocalorie intake • Controlled by sympathetic nervous system • Key for maintaining weight around set point
Obesity:Control of Body Weight • Set point regulation versus weight gain • Diet composition alters set point • Physical activity alters set point • High-fat diets usually overfeeding • Other factors • Larger portions/restaurant supersizing • Higher fat consumption • More eating away from home
Obesity:Etiology • Physiological factors • Heredity/genetics • Hormonal imbalances • Altered basic homeostatic mechanisms • Lifestyle factors • Cultural habits • Inadequate physical activity • Improper diets
Obesity:Health Problems • Morbidity: presence or rate of disease • Mortality: death from disease • Obesity and overweight mortality • Major increased risk: BMI >35
Obesity:Health Problems • Obesity and overweight associated with • Cardiovascular disease • Type 2 diabetes • Cancer (endometrial, breast, colon) • Liver, gallbladder disease • Osteoarthritis • Sleep apnea • Metabolic syndrome rate parallels obesity
Obesity: Genetic Versus Lifestyle Effects • Pima Indians: study in genetics versus lifestyle • Native lifestyle lean and healthy • Western diet/lifestyle high rates of obesity • Men: 64% • Women: 75% • Obesity often accompanied by diabetes • Men: 34% • Women: 41%
Obesity:Health Problems • Changes in normal body function • Vary with individual • Vary with degree of obesity • Lethargy • Polycythemia • Low blood O2/high blood CO2 • Clotting, heart failure
Obesity:Health Problems • Body fat distribution: disease risk factor • Upper-body (android) obesity (men) • Lower-body (gynoid) obesity (women) • Waist:hip girth ratio and visceral fat index identify fat distribution • Android obesity higher risk for • Cardiovascular disease • Elevated blood lipids • Diabetes
Obesity:Health Problems • Exacerbates existing diseases • Weight loss reduces severity of • Angina pectoris • Hypertension • Congestive heart disease • Heart attack recurrence • Varicose veins • Diabetes • Orthopedic problems
Obesity:Health Problems • Emotional and psychological factors • Can help cause obesity • Can be exacerbated by obesity • Obesity = social stigma • Media glamorize thin people • But norms may shift as obesity becomes more common
Obesity:General Treatment • Weight loss = kilocalorie intake < kilocalorie expenditure • Oversimplification • Weight loss treatment multifactorial • Loss not to exceed 1 to 2 lb per week • Weight loss a long-term project • Maintain balanced diet with caloric deficit • Reduce intake of fat and simple sugars
Obesity:General Treatment • Hormone treatments • Decrease appetite • Increase RMR • Serious side effects, life threatening • Surgical treatments • Intestinal bypass • Gastric banding or bypass • Reserved for most extreme, serious cases
Obesity:General Treatment • Behavior modification: change in eating patterns or habits. Examples: • Can only eat in one location • No snacking • No second helpings • Appealing, simple weight loss approach
Obesity: Role of Physical Activity in Weight Control • Overeating and inactivity: major causes of obesity • Kilocalorie restriction and exercise best treatments • Exercise alters body composition • Significant long-term kilocalorie deficit • Significant long-term fat loss • EPOC postexercise metabolism
Obesity: Role of Physical Activity in Weight Control • Body mass and composition changes with exercise – Total weight – Fat mass, percent body fat • Maintained or FFM • Changes long term (6-12 months)
Obesity: Role of Physical Activity in Weight Control • Both aerobic and resistance training weight loss • Exercise important aspect of weight loss • Must combine exercise + kilocalorie restriction • Decrease rate of visceral fat accumulation • Energy balance equation • Kilocalorie intake – kilocalories excreted = (RMR + TEM + TEA) • Helps clarify weight loss mechanisms
Obesity: Role of Physical Activity in Weight Control • Exercise effects on appetite • Leads to appetite suppression in male animals • Leads to no change or intake in female animals • Less activity ≠ less food intake • Causes for appetite suppression • Higher circulating catecholamines • Higher body temperature
Obesity: Role of Physical Activity in Weight Control • Exercise effects on RMR • May increase with training • Resistance training of interest (RMR related to FFM) • Exercise effects on TEM • Pre- and postmeal exercise TEM • Chronic exercise training inconclusive • Exercise effects on fat mobilization • During exercise, FFA mobilization • Possible causes: hGH, sympathetic stimulation, catecholamines
Obesity: Role of Physical Activity in Weight Control • Spot reduction a myth • Local exercise ≠ local fat loss • Exercise draws on all fat stores • Local exercise local muscle development • Spot reduction studies • Tennis: dominant versus nondominant arms • Intense sit-up training program
Obesity: Role of Physical Activity in Weight Control • Low-intensity aerobics and weight loss • High intensity percent energy from CHO oxidation • Low intensity percent energy from fat oxidation • Low intensity no change in total fat kilocalories expended • Low intensity in total kilocalories expended • Fatmax zone • Zone where fat oxidation rates near peak • 55 to 72% VO2max
Obesity: Role of Physical Activity in Weight Control • Exercise gimmicks ineffective. Examples: • Mark II Bust Developer • Astro-Trimmer Exercise Belt • Slim-Skins Vacuum Pants • Reality: exercise and weight loss require work
Obesity: Physical Activity and Health Risk Reduction • Exercise risk of disease mortality • Irrespective of weight loss • Good news for those who struggle with weight loss • Active lifestyle and fitness more important
Diabetes:Terminology and Classification • Diabetes mellitus • Hyperglycemia • Insulin insufficiency and/or resistance • Type 1 • Type 2 • Gestational • Prediabetes
Diabetes:Terminology and Classification • Type 1 diabetes • Autoimmune (b-cells destroyed, no insulin) • Insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM) • 5 to 10% of all diabetes cases • Type 2 diabetes • Loss of insulin sensitivity (insulin resistance) • Non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM) • 90 to 95% of all diabetes cases • Term adult onset no longer correct
