2. Obesity represents a state of excess
storage of body fat.
Overweight puristically is defined as an
excess body weight for height.
While adult men have a body fat
percentage of 15-20%, women have a
higher proportion (approximately 25-
30%).

3. Now with the (BMI) you
can diagnose yourself as
an obese or not, but still
one problem. Some
people like the muscular
athletes find their (BMI)
higher than normal, when
they most likely have a
normal amounts of fat in
their bodies, and the
answer is that, they
weight more not because
of fat, but because of
muscles.
4. Genetic – familial tendency.
Sex – women more susceptible .
Activity – lack of physical activity.
Psychogenic – emotional deprivation,
depression .
Social class – poorer classes.
Alcohol – problem drinking.
Smoking – cessation smoking.
Prescribed drugs – tricyclic derivatives.

6. •Diets: some bad eating habits
like high calories diets epically in
the night, or skipping a healthy
breakfast, and replace it by junk
fast food, all of that increase the
body fat .
•Pregnancy: some women after
the baby is born have an
increasing in their weight, and if
they don’t lose that weight, with
many pregnancies after that,
they may become obese.
7. •Lack of sleep: this cause disturbances
in the body hormones, and increase the
appetite. you also may crave to height
calories food.
•Drugs: some medications lead the
body to gain more weight, these drugs
include, diabetes medications, steroids
and beta blockers, anti-seizure
medications, antipsychotic medications
and antidepressants drugs.
8. •Medical conditions: some diseases and syndromes lead the
body to store more fat and gain weight like Cushing syndrome.
some disease low the metabolic rate in the body and low the
amount of burned calories every day such as the
hypothyroidism. And some diseases lead the patient to low his
activity, such as the arthritis or maybe the patients with
paraplegia
•Genetics: genes affect the amount of body fat we store and
where to store,
•Family lifestyle: not because of the genes we find the obesity
runs in the families, it also because of their life style and the food
they eat. We can notice that some countries such as USA, have
more obese people than others countries like Japan and this is
because the culture and the life style.
9. •Age: obesity could occur at any age, but when we get age
we lose more amount of muscles built. more amount of
muscles give higher rate of metabolism and calories burning.
When we lose them we reduce the calories burning and tend
to fill the body with fat.

10. Because differences in weight
among individuals are only
partly due to body fat
variations, body weight is a
rather limited, although easily
obtained, index of obesity.
Monday, June 12, 2017
10
11. Body mass index (BMI), also known as
the Quetelet index, is far more
commonly used to define obesity and
has been found to closely correlate
with the degree of body fat in most
settings.
Monday, June 12, 2017
11
12. BMI = (weight [kg]) / (height [m])2.
Body fat percentage can be estimated
using the Deurenberg equation.
Body fat percentage = 1.2(BMI) +
0.23(age [y]) – 10.8(sex) – 5.4, with
males coded as 1 and females as 0.
This formula has a standard error of
4% and explains approximately 80% of
the variation in body fat.
Monday, June 12, 2017
12
13. Other indices used to estimate the
degree and distribution of obesity
include the 4 standard skin thicknesses
(ie, subscapular, triceps, biceps,
suprailiac) and various anthropometric
measures, of which waist and hip
circumferences are the most important.
Monday, June 12, 2017

14. World Health Organization (WHO)
criteria based on BMI. for adults:
grade 1 (overweight ) BMI of 25-
29.9 kg/m2.
Grade 2 overweight (obesity) BMI of
30-39.9 kg/m2.
Grade 3 overweight (severe or
morbid obesity) BMI greater than or
equal to 40 kg/m2.
Monday, June 12, 2017
14
15. Surgical literature ( different
classification) for recognize severe
obesity.
BMI greater than 40 kg/m2 (severe
obesity)
BMI of 40-50 kg/m2 (morbid obesity)
BMI greater than 50 kg/m2 ( super
obese)

16. Adipocyte: is the cellular basis for
obesity, is being found to be an
increasingly complex and metabolically
active cell.
the adipocyte is being perceived more
frequently as an endocrine gland with
several peptides and metabolites that
may have relevance to the control of
body weight.
Monday, June 12, 2017
16
17. products of the adipocyte involved in the complex intermediary
metabolism:
cytokines
tumor necrosis factor-alpha
interleukin-6
lipotransin,
adipocyte lipid-binding protein
acyl stimulation protein
prostaglandins
adipsin
perilipins
lactate
adiponectin
monobutyrin
phospholipid transfer protein
Monday, June 12, 2017
17
18. critical enzymes involved in adipocyte
metabolism:
endothelial lipoprotein lipase (involved in lipid
storage)
hormone-sensitive lipase (involved in lipid
elaboration and release from adipocyte depots)
acylcoenzyme A (acyl-CoA) synthetases
(involved in fatty acid synthesis),
and a cascade of enzymes (involved in beta
oxidation and fatty acid metabolism)
Monday, June 12, 2017

20. The pathogenesis of obesity is far more
complex than the simple paradigm of
an imbalance between energy intake
and energy output.
Monday, June 12, 2017
20
21. The high prevalence of obesity in the
children of parents who are obese and
the high concordance of obesity in
identical twins suggest a significant
genetic component to the pathogenesis
of obesity, the secular trends of the last
few decades, which are coincident with
recent changes in dietary habits and
activity, also suggest a significant role
for environmental factors.

22. Leptin was discovered in 1994 by
Friedman et al and ushered in an
explosion of research and a great
increase in knowledge about regulation
of the human feeding and eating cycle.
Monday, June 12, 2017
22
23. The major role of leptin in body weight
regulation is to signal satiety to the
hypothalamus and, thus, reduce
dietary intake and fat storage while
modulating energy expenditure and
carbohydrate metabolism to prevent
further weight gain.
Monday, June 12, 2017
23
24. Unfortunately, unlike the Ob/Ob mouse
model in which this peptide was first
characterized, most humans who are
obese are not leptin-deficient but
rather leptin-resistant and, thus, have
elevated circulating leptin levels.
Monday, June 12, 2017

32. Energy imbalance
calories consumed not equal to
calories used
Over a long period of time
Due to a combination of several
factors
Individual behaviors
Social interactions
Environmental factors
Genetics

33. 3500 calories = 1 pound
100 calories extra per day
= 36,500 extra per year
= 10.4 lbs weight gain
Question: How much is 100 calories?
Answer: Not very much!
1 glass skim milk, or
1 banana, or
1 slice cheese, or
1 tablespoon butter

34. More in and less out = weight gain
More out and less in = weight loss
Hypothalamus
control center for hunger and satiety
Endocrine disorder
where are the hormones?
Monday, June 12, 2017
34
35. Hormone secreted in the stomach
Acts on the hypothalamus to stimulate
appetite
Levels peak just before meals and drop
afterward
Monday, June 12, 2017
35
36. •Naturally occurring hormone that plays a role in satiety
and weight maintenance.
•Produced in adipocytes
•Its role in weight regulation is related to its effects on the
hypothalamus, where it leads to:
• satiety
•decreased food intake
•increased energy expenditure in the periphery
Monday, June 12, 2017
36
39. Leptin
Dieting decreases leptin levels
Reducing metabolism, stimulating
appetite
Ghrelin
Levels in dieters are higher after weight
loss
The body steps up ghrelin production in
response to weight loss
The higher the weight loss, the higher the
ghrelin levels

44. Assess the patient's readiness and willingness
to lose weight :
Unfortunately those who are most concerned
about their weights are not necessarily those
who are at the highest health risk.
Those who are unable or unwilling to embark
on a weight reduction program, but they are
willing to take steps to avoid further weight
gain or perhaps to work on other risk factors
such as cigarette smoking, and they should
be encouraged to do so.
For those not ready to act, the issue should
be deferred and brought up at the next visit
Monday, June 12, 2017
44
45. Assess for other risk factors
Existing high risk disease:
coronary heart disease; other atherosclerotic
diseases; type 2 diabetes; sleep apnea
Diseases associated with obesity
Gynecological problems; osteoarthritis; gallstones;
stress incontinence
Cardiovascular risk factors (3 or more = high risk)
Cigarette smoking; Hypertension; LDL >130; HDL
<35; fasting glucose = 110 to 125; family history
of premature CHD; men age > 45; women age >
55
Other risk factors
Physical inactivity; elevated serum triglycerides
Medications associated with obesity

46. A multi-faceted
approach is best
Diet

Behavior change
“A”
Recommendation
Monday, June 12, 2017
46
47. Initial goal: 10% weight loss
Significantly decreases risk factors
Rate of weight loss
1 to 2 pounds per week
Reduction of caloric intake 500-1000 per day
Slow weight loss is more stable
Rapid weight loss is almost always followed
by weight gain
Rapid weight loss increases risk for
gallstones & electrolyte abnormalities
Monday, June 12, 2017
47
48. Aim for 4 - 6 months of weight loss effort
Most people will lose 20 to 25 pounds
After 6 months, weight loss is more difficult
Ghrelin & Leptin are at work!
Changes in resting metabolic rate
Energy requirements decrease as weight
decreases
Diet adherence wavers
Set goals for weight maintenance for next 6
months, then reassess.
Monday, June 12, 2017
48
49. Weight reduction with dietary treatment
is in order for virtually all patients with a
BMI 25-30 who have comorbidities and
for all patients over BMI 30.
Strategies of dietary therapy include
teaching about calorie content of different
foods, food composition (fats,
carbohydrates, and proteins), reading
nutrition labels, types of foods to buy,
and how to prepare foods.

Monday, June 12, 2017
51
52. Physical activity should be an integral part of
weight loss
Physical activity alone is less successful than
a combined diet & exercise program
Increased activity alone
does not decrease weight
Sustained activity does
prevent weight regain
Reduces risk for heart disease & diabetes
Monday, June 12, 2017
52
53. Start slowly
Many obese people live sedentary lives
Avoid injury
Early changes can be activities of daily living
Increase intensity & duration gradually
Long-term goal

59. •Weight loss drugs should never be used without continued
concomitant lifestyle modifications and as part of a
comprehensive weight loss program.
•Continual assessment of drug therapy for efficacy and safety is
necessary.
•If the drug is efficacious in helping the patient to lose and/or
maintain weight loss and there are no serious adverse effects, it
can be continued.
•If not, it should be discontinued.

63. Reducing food intake. Either amplify effects of signals/factors
that inhibit food intake or block signals/factors that augment food intake
Blocking nutrient absorption (especially fat or
carbohydrates) in the intestine.
Increasing thermogenesis. Either increase metabolism and
dissipate food energy as heat or increase energy expenditure through the
enhancement of physical activity.
Modulating fat metabolism/storage. Regulate fat
synthesis/breakdown by making appropriate adjustments to food intake or
energy expenditure.
Modulating the central regulation of body
weight. Either alter the internal set point or modulate the signals
presented regarding fat stores.

66. Appetite suppressant that works by blocking
reuptake of serotonin and norepinephrine.
Some experts have postulated that this agent
may be the most effective in helping maintain
weight loss.
Maintaining weight loss has long been the major
downfall to most diet programs.
Until recently, the longest clinical trials with this
agent have lasted 1 year.
Monday, June 12, 2017
66
67. Among obese patients who should undergo drug therapy,
sibutramine works best for those who:
Experience difficulty controlling food intake
Do not feel full
Think about food a lot
Do not have increased cardiovascular disease risk or
multiple risk factors
Are younger
Sibutramine is taken once daily with or without food.
Monday, June 12, 2017
67
68. The use of sibutramine is
contraindicated in patients:
Taking concomitant monoamine
oxidase inhibitor (MAOI) therapy
With anorexia nervosa
Using any other centrally-acting
appetite suppressant
With hypersensitivity to ingredients
of sibutramine
Monday, June 12, 2017
68
69. In addition, sibutramine should not be
used by patients who have:
uncontrolled hypertension
coronary heart disease
congestive heart failure
Arrhythmias
stroke
severe renal or liver dysfunction
Sibutramine should be used with
caution in patients with narrow-angle
glaucoma.
Monday, June 12, 2017

70. Can result in dry mouth, constipation,
headache, insomnia, increased blood
pressure, tachycardia.
Should monitor all patients once a
month for hypertension and side effects
Should take in the morning to avoid
insomnia
Monday, June 12, 2017

71. Pancreatic lipase inhibitor that blocks the
absorption of up to one third of ingested fat.
In addition to helping reduce weight, orlistat has
been shown to also:
lower plasma low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL)
cholesterol levels.
The decline in LDL cholesterol is greater than that
expected due to weight loss alone.
Lower HgbA1C in diabetic patients
Monday, June 12, 2017
71
72. Among obese patients who meet the criteria for
anti-obesity drug therapy, orlistat is most likely
to benefit those who:
Do not feel hungry
Are not preoccupied with food
Eat out or order-in often
Have increased cardiovascular disease risk or
multiple cardiovascular risk factors
Are older
Take multiple medications
Orlistat is taken 3 times daily with meals
Monday, June 12, 2017
72
73. Because it blocks intestinal absorption of fat it
can result in diarrhea and steatorrhea
This is minimized by maintaining a strict low fat
diet (<30% of diet)
Another concern is the loss of fat soluble vitamins
with a potential for malnutrition.
To prevent this, recommend a daily multivitamin
for all patients on this therapy
Monday, June 12, 2017
73
74. Topiramate is a novel antiepileptic drug approved
by the FDA as an antiseizure medication.
When reports surfaced that patients enrolled in
initial trials of the drug and also in clinical practice
were experiencing unexpected weight loss, the
effects of the drug on weight began to be studied.
Mechanism for weight loss is still poorly
understood

76. 47,000 in 2001; 98,000 in 2003
Types of Obesity Surgery:
1. Restrictive Surgery - uses bands or staples to
create food intake restriction:
Vertical Banded Gastroplasty (VBG) - is a “pure”
restrictive surgery since it only involves surgically
creating a stomach pouch. VBG uses bands and
staples and is the most frequently performed
procedure for obesity surgery.
Gastric Banding – involves the use of a band to
create the stomach pouch.
Laparoscopic Gastric Banding (Lap-Band),
approved by the FDA in June 2001, is a less invasive
procedure in which smaller incisions are made to
apply the band. The band is inflatable and can be
adjusted over time
Monday, June 12, 2017
76
77. 2. Combined Restrictive and Malabsorptive
Surgery - is a combination of restrictive surgery
(stomach pouch) with bypass (malabsorptive
surgery), in which the stomach is connected to the
jejunum or ileum of the small intestine, bypassing the
duodenum.
Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass (RGB) - is the most commonly
performed gastric bypass procedure, and the second most
frequently performed surgery for obesity after VBG. RGB
involves a stomach pouch for food intake restriction. A direct
connection, which is Y-shaped, is made from the ileum or
jejunum to the stomach pouch for malabsorption.
Biliopancreatic Diversion (BPD) - is one of the most
complicated obesity surgery, sometimes involving the
removal of a portion of the stomach. The remaining section
of the stomach is connected to the ileum. BPD successfully
promotes weight loss, but this procedure is typically used for
persons with severe obesity who have a BMI of 50 or more
