Obesity: definition

• Chronic disease characterized by accumulation of fat. Obesity is defined as a condition when ideal body weight is exceeded by 20%

• Medical condition responsible for serious co-morbidity and mortality.

Psychosocial consequence

• Economical impact of obesity

• Prejudice and Discrimination

• Considered lazy, incompetent and more often absent due to illness

• Confronted with more problems at job application : – Very few executive managers with overweight in the US

OBESITY

Thrifty genotype - feast and famine theory

Those who are most efficient in storing energy as fat during time of famine are

the survivors. Therefore that genetic predisposition is favoured in a

population. When that population experiences times of constant ‘feast’ i.e. a western diet, they become obese and

develop diabetes.

Environmental effects on the risk for type 2 diabetes mellitus

• Pima Indians living “on the rez” in Arizona have among the highest prevalences of diabetes and obesity of any group in the country.

• However, most of the Pima in Mexico are lean and nondiabetic.

• The difference? The Mexican Pima still live a subsistence lifestyle, farming beans and corn in the arid mountains.

INSULIN RESISTANCE

Is Insulin Resistance a Cause or Effect of Diabetes?

• “Beta cell hyperresponsiveness is the earliest event in the development of type 2 diabetes” in rhesus monkeys, preceding the onset of insulin resistance.– Hansen and Bodkin, Am J Physiol 259:R612

(1990)

What does the “thrifty phenotype” look like in a calorie restricted,

natural setting?• Aboriginal Australians exposed to Western

diet/lifestyle develop type 2 diabetes and obesity in alarming proportions, similar to native Americans.

• O’Dea has studied aboriginal Australians living in the bush and has found:– Lean individuals: average BMI 16 kg/m2– They are relatively hypoglycemic (68 mg/dl) while having

relative hyperinsulinemia (13 uU/ml)

Fasting hyperinsulinemia predictstype 2 diabetes independent of

insulin resistance• Among 262 healthy Pima Indians, 48 (18%)

developed diabetes during a 4-6 year follow-up period.

• Fasting insulin and insulin responsiveness predicted the development of diabetes and the concomitant decline in insulin secretion.– Pratley, Weyer, Hanson, Tataranni, Shuldiner, and Bogardus (2000)

Is Insulin Resistance a Cause or Effect of Diabetes?

• Isolated insulin resistance is well tolerated in transgenic animals and does not, by itself, lead to diabetes.

• Beta cell abnormalities, on the other hand, do predispose to overt diabetes in animal models.

• Isolated hyperinsulinemia can cause insulin resistance just as well as insulin resistance can cause hyperinsulinemia.

Alan Greenspan - Chairman, Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System

The major cause for the continued increase in the US economy without an increase in inflation throughout the 1990s was an increase in individual worker productivity.

It’ll cut down on the work breaks!

Individual worker productivity increased by:

• Working more hours - in 1998 US worker averaged 1950 hours/year while European workers average 1558 hours/year on-the-job: 25% more hours per year.

• Increase in worker efficiency by reducing amount of physical movement time. Moving around is a major cause of inefficiency for computer & communications-based industry.

A Problem and challenge!

The US model used to increase economic productivity is considered an approach to be emulated by leaders in many developing countries

Obesity related cardiovascular and renal risk

• Obesity is a independent risk factor for the development of CV and Renal disease, even in the absence of other pathologies

Burden of Disease

• Burden of disease analysis gives a unique perspective on health. Fatal and non-fatal outcomes are integrated, but can be examined separately as well.

• YLL - Years of Life Lost due to premature mortality

• +YDL - Years of Life Lost due to Disability

• DALY Disability Adjusted Life Years• one DALY is one lost year of ‘healthy’ life

Risk Factor• A condition, physical characteristic, or

behavior that increases the probability (the risk) that a currently healthy individual will develop a particular disease.

– Risk factors for type 2 diabetes• obesity en weight gain• Physical inactivity, independent of obesity• Low fibre and high GI diet• Specific FA

– Defining low-risk group (LRG):• BMI<25 kg/m2• Physical activity :30 min/d moderate activity• Smoker : Non-Smoker• alcohol: 0.5U/d• diet: Little trans fat, low glycemic index, high fibre intake,

High ration PUFA

• Conclusion – combination of different factors can prevent Diabetes

• BMI 25

• Diet : high fibre intake; PUFA, Low SFA; trans fats and GI

• Regular physiacl activity

• Non Smoker

• Moderate alcohol use

– incidence of diabetes approx. 90 % lower in this group

– Behavior changes can prevent diabetes

– Most important determinant for DM 2• OVERWEIGHT

Present prevalence still increasingCurrent therapy strategies not sufficient

– Education Necessary

Risk Factors for Cancers

• Cigarettes/Tobacco

• Betel Nut (lime?)

• Hepatitis B

• Obesity

• Hyperglycaemia

• Dietary Factors– Fat– Fibre– Meat (cooking

methods)– Alcohol– Vegetables and Fruits– Omega 3 fatty acids

Reversal of Downward Trend in Daily Physical Activity Will Require Innovative and Integrated Approaches

Integrated Programs to Reduce ObesityIntegrated Programs to Reduce Obesity

Public education via mass media - “set the stage”

Community-based programs for physical activity and nutrition - promote individual behavior change

Environmental change to promote activity - sidewalks, parks, showers @worksites, mall walking, etc.

Policy change to promote activity and healthy eating - schools (PE & recess), worksites, government, etc.

Incentive/penalty programs - health insurance companies: third-party payment can be a disincentive

Spectrum of obesity management

Weight loss has beneficial health effects

• Improved glycaemic control• Reduced blood pressure• Improved lipid profile• 20% reduction in premature mortality in

overweight women with obesity-related health conditions Goldstein DJ. Int J Obesity, 1991

Obesity management: objectives

• Promotion of weight loss

• Long-term weight maintenance

• Long-term prevention of weight gain

• Improvement of risk factors

• Encouragement of active lifestyle

• Improvement in quality of life

• Change in eating patterns

THE MANAGEMENT OF OBESITY: AN INTEGRATED APPROACH

• Obesity is a serious medical condition requiring long-term management

• Management needs to be flexible and integrate different therapeutic approaches according to individual patient needs including

– Dietary management

– Lifestyle modification

– Physical activity

– Drug therapy

– Surgery

And finally, we need to recognize that we do not know how to successfully

“treat” obesity…

The question we need to address is:

How do we help people maintain health in an environment conducive

to people weighing more?

THE NEED FOR REALISTIC GOALS IN OBESITY MANAGEMENT

• Shift focus from changing appearance to improving health

• Consider healthier weight over time - not ideal weight

• Sustained moderate weight loss of 5-10kg (5-10% of initial body weight)

– Elevated BP

– Blood sugar concentrations

– Serum triglycerides

– HDL-cholesterol levels

Long-term management of obesity

• Efficacy of long-term treatment requires– Patient motivation for weight loss– Patient satisfaction with weight loss– Patient satisfaction with treatment

• Best achieved by combination of– Low-fat diet– Increased physical activity– Well-tolerated pharmacotherapy
