Three trends are influencing workplace health and performance in Australia: 1) Life expectancy is increasing but health expectancy is decreasing, with the average person living their last years with disabilities. 2) Obesity rates are high, with over two-thirds of men and over half of women overweight or obese. 3) The population is aging, with one-fifth of Australians expected to be over 65 by 2020. Understanding the interaction between genes and lifestyle/environmental factors is important for preventing disease and improving occupational health. Personalized nutrition, exercise and lifestyle plans based on genetic profiles have the potential to help people maximize their health and longevity. One woman lost over 10kg and saw improvements in inflammation and biological age after following a personalized program based on her

Scenario : Billie
Billie is 16 years old and in generally good health. Her weight is normal for her height, and she watches her calorie intake to keep it that way. She participates in extracurricular activities in school, including chorus. Her main physical activity is a gym class once a week. She enjoys spending time with her friends, especially playing video games in her bedroom. She knows it’s not a great habit, but recently she has started smoking a few cigarettes each day. Both of her parents (aged 39 and 42) are also in good health. Her mother’s parents (aged 62 and 66) live nearby, and she spends a lot of time with them. They are also healthy and physically active, although her grandfather has started joking about how his wife seems to be “shrinking” and getting shorter every year. Her father’s dad is still living, but her father’s mom passed away recently after complications from hip surgery.

Turning to nuts rather that junk food to quell cravings is also another healthier alternative. Containing essential fatty acids is also another plus point when it comes to choosing nuts as a healthier alternative. Because nuts are healthy and can be consumed in its raw form, it is also another added advantage to keeping these around and handy as snacks.

RESULTS: Overall life span (LS) was 2252.1±1742.5 days and cumulative 5-year survival (5YS) reached 73.2%, 10 years – 64.8%, 20 years – 42.5%. 513 LCP lived more than 5 years (LS=3124.6±1525.6 days), 148 LCP – more than 10 years (LS=5054.4±1504.1 days).199 LCP died because of LC (LS=562.7±374.5 days). 5YS of LCP after bi/lobectomies was significantly superior in comparison with LCP after pneumonectomies (78.1% vs.63.7%, P=0.00001 by log-rank test). AT significantly improved 5YS (66.3% vs. 34.8%) (P=0.00000 by log-rank test) only for LCP with N1-2. Cox modeling displayed that 5YS of LCP significantly depended on: phase transition (PT) early-invasive LC in terms of synergetics, PT N0—N12, cell ratio factors (ratio between cancer cells- CC and blood cells subpopulations), G1-3, histology, glucose, AT, blood cell circuit, prothrombin index, heparin tolerance, recalcification time (P=0.000-0.038). Neural networks, genetic algorithm selection and bootstrap simulation revealed relationships between 5YS and PT early-invasive LC (rank=1), PT N0—N12 (rank=2), thrombocytes/CC (3), erythrocytes/CC (4), eosinophils/CC (5), healthy cells/CC (6), lymphocytes/CC (7), segmented neutrophils/CC (8), stick neutrophils/CC (9), monocytes/CC (10); leucocytes/CC (11). Correct prediction of 5YS was 100% by neural networks computing (area under ROC curve=1.0; error=0.0).
CONCLUSIONS: 5YS of LCP after radical procedures significantly depended on: 1) PT early-invasive cancer; 2) PT N0--N12; 3) cell ratio factors; 4) blood cell circuit; 5) biochemical factors; 6) hemostasis system; 7) AT; 8) LC characteristics; 9) LC cell dynamics; 10) surgery type: lobectomy/pneumonectomy; 11) anthropometric data. Optimal diagnosis and treatment strategies for LC are: 1) screening and early detection of LC; 2) availability of experienced thoracic surgeons because of complexity of radical procedures; 3) aggressive en block surgery and adequate lymph node dissection for completeness; 4) precise prediction; 5) adjuvant chemoimmunoradiotherapy for LCP with unfavorable prognosis.

5. Importance of Gene and
Environment/Lifestyle Interactions
The recent Federal Government report released in May 2009, titled
“Weighing it up – Obesity in Australia”, stated that:
1.Environmental and Lifestyle Factors
contribute about 30% to an individual‟s body weight, and;
2. Genetics contributes the other 70%
(Similarly, research indicates the ratio for Heart Health is approx. 50 % and 50%.)
7. Genetics in the Workplace*
Major technological advances in the last few decades have increased
our knowledge of the role that genetics plays in occupational diseases
Combined with knowledge of other factors that contribute to
occupational morbidity and mortality, genetic information will play an
increasing role in preventing occupational disease.
Understanding the role of genetic factors and their interaction with
environmental/occupational exposures is important in occupational
health and could lead to further prevention and control efforts, the
identification of novel therapeutic targets and educational strategies for
better management of work-related diseases.

- Lost 60 kg: regained
- Lost 50 kg: regained
> Went to GP for weight loss:
- Put onto Optifast Shakes:
- 3 shakes per day
- No food at all for 10 months
> GP also put on drugs to increase metabolism and suppress appetite:
- Use for 3 months but couldn‟t tolerate.
- Caused anxiety and panic attacks.
- Had also used T3, but also stopped this as didn‟t like the effect.

29. Jenny‟s Rebound Weight Gain
> When stopped the Optifast shakes went back to being careful with
diet.
> Regained 5 kgs per week, and ended back at starting weight.
> Was so unhappy she „wanted to die‟.
– GP recommended a gastric bypass but Jenny didn‟t want this.
– Decided to have a gastric sleeve. Done Feb 2007.
– Initially lost a lot of weight.
– Weight loss has now stopped and Jenny is beginning to gain
weight again.
– She is afraid she will gain all her weight back again.

33. Testimonial February 2012
› Doing my Fitgenes DNA profile has helped me gain information that has helped me on a number of
levels.
› Firstly, I felt better about my previous struggles, knowing there was an underlying genetic reason for
my obesity and yoyo weight gains. I felt better about the fact that it had a root cause. I suppose I
could have felt powerless to do much about it but instead it energised me to fight against it. I am
actually proud of myself for losing weight. My genetic profile would indicate this is very difficult for me,
and I am prone to rebound weight gain.
› It also encourages me to fight harder to not allow myself to regain. I don‟t think I can get away with
things anymore. Also, there was always a point in the past when I assumed I could eat normally. Now I
have much more information and it enables me to talk straight to myself.
› In food terms it has changed my whole way of eating. I found that I cannot tolerate a high intake of
saturated fats and my body is designed to store these. As a result, I do not generally eat meat or
animal fats like hard cheese. I love cheese and wine, I just don‟t eat the cheese any more. (I am still
working on the wine). It makes it much easier to maintain my weight loss. There are times when I do
eat them but very rarely. The point is I can now make an informed choice.
› Overall, I would say that this is the best decision I have made as it has given me information that has
helped me make sense of my struggles and gives me tools to make decisions for the future. I just can‟t
kid myself anymore as I know the truth!!!

Major technological advances in the last few decades have increased our knowledge of the role that genetics plays in occupational diseases.”“Combined with knowledge of other factors that contribute to occupational morbidity and mortality, genetic information will play an increasing role in preventing occupational disease.”“Understanding the role of genetic factors and their interaction with environmental/occupational exposures is important in occupational health and could lead to further prevention and control efforts, the identification of novel therapeutic targets and educational strategies for better management of work-related diseases.”
The body is just a systemCompliance Risk Management
This figure is also from the landmark study by P M Ricker and colleges discussed in the last slideTheir results showed that;“Of the 12 markers measured, high sensitive C-Reactive Protein, hs-CRP, was the strongest univariate predictor of CV events; the risk of events for women in the highest as compared with the lowest quartile for this marker was 4.4.”They also concluded that the greatest risk for Cardiovascular disease (CVD) outcomes was seen for people in the highest quartile for C- Reactive Protein and the total / HDL cholesterol ratio.Therefore the addition of the measurement of CRP to screening based on lipid levels may provide an improved method of identifying women at risk of CV events. PLEASE NOTE HOWEVER; The purpose of include these 2 figures is not to focus on disease states, such as CV events, but merely highlight the fact that inflammation processes via the inflammatory cytokines or proteins, such as IL-6 and CRP have a very significant influence on our health and performance.As you have repeatedly heard, the FitGenes focus is on helping people “maximise their potential for Healthy Living – Healthy Aging”.
DNA profiling is enabling personalized medicine. It is imperative that practitioners use the framework of the 12 week program to integrate a targeted and personalised intervention program, based upon the DNA profile, family medical history, personal medical history, symptoms and current lifestyle habits, and ensure the protocol will deliver the patient’s health goals and objectives.The treatment plan clearly identifies objectives and process for both the practitioner and the patient.
