This document presents data on various health risk factors and outcomes by levels of deprivation in England. It shows that prevalence of obesity, smoking, alcohol-related hospital admissions and mortality, and sexually transmitted infections increase with greater deprivation. Rates of low birthweight babies, smoking-related deaths, and under 18 conceptions are also higher in more deprived areas.
This seminar on obesity was presented by Nida Sajjad from the University of Sargodha. Obesity is defined as abnormal or excessive fat accumulation that has adverse health effects. It is classified based on fat cells and distribution. The seminar covered causes of obesity like genetics, medications, lifestyle factors. Complications discussed included heart disease, diabetes, sleep apnea. Diagnosis involves calculating BMI and other tests. Treatment approaches included diet, exercise, medications, and bariatric surgery for severe obesity.

Obesity is a medical condition defined by excessive body fat that may negatively impact health. Body mass index (BMI) is used to categorize individuals as underweight, normal weight, overweight, or obese based on their weight relative to their height. Obesity is associated with various diseases and health conditions such as heart disease, certain cancers, and metabolic syndrome. Causes of obesity include unhealthy diet, physical inactivity, genetics, medications, and certain medical conditions. Treatment focuses on healthy diet, exercise, medication, and sometimes surgery to reduce stomach size or fat absorption.
This document discusses metabolic syndrome, its causes and consequences. Metabolic syndrome is a cluster of conditions that increases the risk of heart disease, diabetes and stroke. It is becoming more common due to lifestyle factors like poor diet, lack of exercise and obesity. Refined carbs and sugar are major contributors, comprising 80-90% of the effect. Adopting a whole foods, plant-based diet has been shown to successfully treat and reverse metabolic syndrome in many cases by promoting weight loss and improving related health markers.

This document discusses the importance of healthy lifestyle habits for preventing chronic diseases and reducing mortality rates. It outlines habits like not smoking, maintaining a healthy BMI, eating 5 servings of fruits and vegetables per day, exercising for 30 minutes daily, and following diets like the DASH or Mediterranean diets which are associated with lower blood pressure and reduced risk of type 2 diabetes. Lifestyle factors like exercise capacity and adherence to healthy habits in elderly populations are shown to significantly reduce all-cause mortality rates by up to 63%. Maintaining these habits is also beneficial after age 45 and for the health of children.
This document discusses non-communicable diseases (NCDs) and their risk factors. It provides information on:
1) The main types of NCDs including cardiovascular disease, diabetes, cancer, and chronic respiratory disease.
2) The definition of risk factors as aspects of behavior, lifestyle, environment, or genetics that are associated with increased disease occurrence.
3) That the four main modifiable behavioral risk factors according to WHO are physical inactivity, tobacco use, unhealthy diet, and alcohol use.

Germany has a high burden of disease due to diabetes. About 7.4 million adults in Germany have diabetes, which is 12% of the total population. This is projected to increase to 8 million adults by 2030. Diabetes is the 4th leading cause of death in Europe. Risk factors for diabetes in Germany include age, family history of diabetes, physical inactivity, overweight/obesity, and diet. Obesity rates are also high, with over 50% of adults overweight or obese. Diabetes increases the risk of cardiovascular diseases, kidney disease, lower limb amputation, blindness, and early death. It is estimated that diabetes costs the German healthcare system €43.2 billion annually.
This document from the OECD provides data on key health indicators for 34 countries. It shows that while life expectancy has increased over 10 years since 1960 due to lower mortality rates, chronic diseases like diabetes are rising due to aging populations and lifestyle changes. Obesity rates are increasing in all OECD nations, with over 1 in 3 Americans obese. The number of physicians per capita has risen in most countries since 1990, but health spending varies widely, with the US spending over 2.5 times the average on health care per person.

Nutrition, Health, And Food Pyramid Presentationguesta2759c
This document discusses nutrition and the food pyramid. It explains that nutrients from food provide energy and materials for growth and cell development. The six classes of nutrients are proteins, carbohydrates, minerals, vitamins, fats, and water. It then provides details on each nutrient class and their functions. The document also explains calories and how the amount varies depending on the food. It concludes by introducing the USDA food pyramid to help people maintain a balanced diet for health.
The document discusses obesity, defining it as excessive fat accumulation that presents health risks. It notes that obesity is caused by an energy imbalance where more calories are consumed than expended. A variety of facts about the growing prevalence and health impacts of obesity worldwide are presented, along with methods of measuring obesity such as BMI and waist circumference.
This document discusses obesity as the disease of the 21st century. It describes regional fat distribution patterns and their health risks, and explores the pathophysiology of obesity, including components of energy expenditure, the roles of brain neurotransmitters and hormones in regulating body weight. Finally, it examines current anti-obesity drugs like Orlistat, Sibutramine, and Phentermine that work by reducing nutrient absorption, inhibiting neurotransmitter reuptake, or stimulating norepinephrine release respectively, and considers future perspectives for obesity treatment.
The document discusses the global rise in obesity and its complex causes. It presents several conceptual frameworks that illustrate the many individual, social, economic, and policy factors that influence food intake and physical activity. These determinants interact at multiple levels and include marketing of unhealthy foods, food prices and subsidies, urban design, and lack of physical activity in schools and the workplace. Solutions require a comprehensive approach across many sectors that addresses the commercial drivers of overconsumption and creates environments supporting healthy choices.
obesity ...... a global epidemic disease.......Rohit Bisht
1. Obesity is a metabolic disorder caused by an imbalance between caloric intake and expenditure leading to excess body fat accumulation. It is influenced by genetic and environmental factors like diet, lifestyle and medications.
2. It is measured using body mass index, waist circumference and waist-hip ratio. Increased BMI, waist circumference and waist-hip ratio are associated with health risks.
3. Long term obesity can cause serious medical conditions like cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, cancers and psychological issues. Treatment involves lifestyle modifications, medications and surgery.
The document discusses definitions and classifications of obesity according to various medical references and the WHO. It provides the WHO classification of BMI ranges from underweight to super obese. It also discusses factors that contribute to obesity including genetics, lifestyle, environment and various hormones and brain regions involved in regulating appetite and energy balance. Surgical procedures for treating obesity such as gastric bypass are also mentioned.
The document discusses obesity in children and adolescents. It states that 1 in 5 children are overweight or obese, and the number of obese children has more than tripled since 1985. About 80% of obese adolescents will become obese adults. Changing societal factors like increased availability of unhealthy foods, larger portions, and decreased physical activity are contributing to rising obesity rates in children. Obesity can lead to health issues like type 2 diabetes, heart disease, and liver problems. Maintaining a healthy diet and being physically active are important to prevent obesity and promote overall wellness.
Lifestyle factors such as diet, obesity, smoking, and lack of exercise have a significant effect on health. Poor diet and lack of exercise are the main causes of rising obesity levels in the UK, where over half of adults are overweight. Obesity rates are higher among lower social classes and have increased health costs. Improving diet and increasing exercise levels are important for addressing health inequalities.
Diabetes is a chronic, metabolic disease characterized by elevated levels of blood glucose (or blood sugar), which leads over time to serious damage to the heart, blood vessels, eyes, kidneys and nerves. The most common is type 2 diabetes, usually in adults, which occurs when the body becomes resistant to insulin or doesn't make enough insulin. In the past 3 decades the prevalence of type 2 diabetes has risen dramatically in countries of all income levels. Type 1 diabetes, once known as juvenile diabetes or insulin-dependent diabetes, is a chronic condition in which the pancreas produces little or no insulin by itself. For people living with diabetes, access to affordable treatment, including insulin, is critical to their survival. There is a globally agreed target to halt the rise in diabetes and obesity by 2025.
This 6th edition of the IDF Diabetes Atlas once again sets the standard for evidence on the global epidemiology of diabetes. The new estimates build on the groundwork laid by previous editions, and confirm the precipitous rise in diabetes over
the last few years. An astounding 382 million people are estimated to have diabetes, with dramatic increases seen in countries all over the world. The overwhelming burden of the disease continues to be shouldered by low- and middleincome
countries, where four out of five people with diabetes are living. Socially and economically disadvantaged people in every country carry the greatest burden of diabetes and are often the most
affected financially.

This document defines and discusses non-communicable diseases (NCDs). It states that NCDs are long-lasting and progress slowly, now cause over 40 million deaths per year globally, and are a major problem worldwide. The four main types of NCDs are cardiovascular diseases, cancer, chronic respiratory diseases, and diabetes. Modifiable risk factors include smoking, physical inactivity, unhealthy diet, and harmful alcohol use. The document provides information on managing modifiable risk factors like smoking cessation, increasing physical activity and healthy eating to reduce risks of NCDs.
This document discusses the causes, costs, and cures of obesity. It explores the nature vs nurture debate around obesity and examines genetic and environmental factors. It outlines the health impacts of a sedentary lifestyle and poor nutrition, including increased risks of diabetes, cancer, heart disease, and more. The document estimates the economic costs of obesity to the healthcare system and businesses. Finally, it advocates for proper nutrition, exercise, and maintaining a healthy weight as ways to prevent and treat obesity-related illnesses.
Non-communicalbe diseases and its preventionShoaib Kashem
Non communicable disease account for a large and increasing burden of disease worldwide. It is currently estimated that non communicable disease accounts for approximately 60% of global deaths and 43% of global disease burden. This is projected to increase to 73% of deaths and 60% of disease burden by 2020.
The document discusses obesity rates around the world. It reports that 100,000 to 400,000 deaths are annually reported in the US due to obesity. Nearly 72 million adults in the US and 500 million people worldwide, or 1 in 10 people, are considered obese. The top 10 most obese countries according to OECD data are the US (33.8%), Mexico (30.0%), New Zealand (26.5%), Chile (25.1%), Australia (24.6%), Canada (24.2%), the UK (23.0%), Ireland (23.0%), Luxembourg (22.1%), and Finland (20.2%). Obesity is defined as an unhealthy accumulation of excess body fat and having a BMI
Non-communicable diseases such as cardiovascular diseases, cancer, diabetes and chronic lung disease cause over 60% of deaths globally each year. The main risk factors are tobacco use, physical inactivity, unhealthy diet and harmful use of alcohol. Non-communicable diseases disproportionately affect low and middle income countries. Urgent action is needed to promote healthy lifestyles and reduce risk factors through public education and policy measures in order to address this growing global health challenge.
Diet, nutrition and the prevention of cancer,pptRajeeeeeeeeeeev
The document discusses chronic diseases and their risk factors. It summarizes that chronic diseases, such as heart disease, stroke, cancer, diabetes and respiratory diseases, cause 63% of all deaths worldwide. Risk factors like tobacco use, unhealthy diet, obesity, physical inactivity and alcohol consumption contribute to many chronic diseases and cancers. The document provides details on specific chronic diseases like diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, cancer and overweight/obesity. It discusses the types, symptoms, worldwide prevalence and prevention strategies for these conditions.
Obesity is a growing global problem caused by eating too much and exercising too little. It is the leading risk factor for chronic diseases like diabetes and heart disease. To address obesity, a multi-pronged approach is needed that involves governments, the food industry, healthcare providers, media, and individuals. Education promoting healthy lifestyles, nutrition, and physical activity is crucial to preventing and managing obesity.
Our aim is to alleviate human suffering related to diabetes and its complications among those least able to withstand the burden of the disease. From 2002 to March 2017, the World Diabetes Foundation provided USD 130 million in funding to 511 projects in 115 countries. For every dollar spent, the Foundation raises approximately 2 dollars in cash or as in-kind donations from other sources. The total value of the WDF project portfolio reached USD 377 million, excluding WDF’s own advocacy and strategic platforms.
All diabetics do not develop complications. If the blood sugar levels are carefully controlled, in both Types 1 and 2 diabetes, complications may never develop. But in order to achieve this, lifestyle changes that are consistently maintained are also necessary.
This document is a presentation by Dr. Robert Lustig summarizing the problem of increasing rates of chronic metabolic diseases like type 2 diabetes worldwide. It outlines three common myths about the causes: 1) it's only about obesity, 2) a calorie is a calorie, and 3) it's an issue of personal responsibility. It then discusses "dark forces" like the sugar industry that use misleading science to promote these myths. The goal is to debunk these myths and outline policy solutions needed to address the real dietary causes of the rise in metabolic diseases.
This document provides an introduction and overview of diabetes. It begins with definitions of diabetes and describes the three main types: type 1 diabetes is caused by a lack of insulin production and requires insulin treatment; type 2 diabetes involves insulin resistance and inadequate insulin production and may be treated with lifestyle changes or medications; gestational diabetes occurs during pregnancy. Statistics on the growing prevalence of diabetes in the US are presented. Risk factors, symptoms, diagnostic tests, potential complications, and strategies for prevention and control of diabetes are discussed.
The document discusses diabetes as a growing health issue in Europe. It notes that diabetes causes suffering and hardship, strains economies and health systems, and is increasing in prevalence among all ages. The key points are:
- 64 million people in Europe have diabetes, a 2% increase from 1980-2014.
- Two-fifths of people aged 20-79 with diabetes are undiagnosed.
- Risk factors include overweight/obesity, unhealthy diet, physical inactivity, and socioeconomic disadvantage.
- Diabetes claims tens of thousands of lives in Europe each year but 20% of type 2 cases are preventable through healthy lifestyle changes like maintaining a healthy weight, regular exercise, and healthy diet.
Did you know that the basic, type II diabetic can eliminate their condition through proper nutrition? Did you know it only takes about 30 days to be diabetes free? Watch and learn.
This document discusses the diabetes and obesity epidemics. It argues that type 2 diabetes is caused by the body's inability to properly metabolize fats and oils, rather than carbohydrates as traditionally believed. The rise of type 2 diabetes in the 1930s coincided with the introduction of processed vegetable oils and hydrogenated fats into the food supply. While early physicians recognized diet could treat this "insulin-resistant diabetes", later medical groups advised high-carb, low-fat diets that have exacerbated the epidemics. The document advocates replacing processed fats with healthy natural fats.
Diabetes refers to a group of diseases that affect how the body consumes blood sugar (glucose). Glucose is an important source of energy for the cells that make up muscles and tissues. It is also the main source of energy for the brain.
Hypertension, Diabetes, Cancer, Drug addiction and drug abuse.pptxrajkumarilodhi
The document discusses hypertension, diabetes, cancer, drug addiction and drug abuse. It provides details on:
1. The causes, risk factors, symptoms, treatment and prevention of hypertension and diabetes. Hypertension is classified as primary or secondary and long term risks include heart and kidney disease. Diabetes is categorized as type 1, type 2 or gestational.
2. The types and causes of cancer and methods of cancer management including surgery, chemotherapy and radiation therapy. Cancer risks include tobacco use, infections, and environmental factors.
3. Definitions and descriptions related to drug addiction and abuse. Motivations for drug use, effects on individuals and society, symptoms of abuse, and treatment options including pharmacotherapy are
2. The World Health Organisation says
more and more people around the world
suffer from health conditions which
increase:
-their risk of stroke
-heart disease
-cancer
Recent statistics compiled using data
from all 194 member states, showed
conditions such as high blood pressure
are increasing in all regions of the
world.
3. More fat, more sugar, more salt, less excersise
Studies say that 12 per cent of the global
population are now condidered obese (a billion of
people.)
People eat more and more sugar, and they
become, apart from obese, diabetic. (10 per cent)
4. The WHO's report is not all bad news though:
-the statistics show that maternal mortality rates have fallen
dramatically in the last 20 years, from over half a million in
1990 to less than 300,000 in 2010.
- And vaccination campaigns have significantly reduced
deaths from childhood diseases such as measles.
5. But the global rise in deaths from:
-heart disease
- cancer
-Diabetes
The rise in the conditions which lead to those deaths, is
causing alarm. The WHO wants all its member states to
tackle risk factors such as poor diet, and smoking, and set
targets for reducing deaths.
6. Countries with more obese:
1 - Mexico (69.5%)
2 - United States (68%)
3 - New Zealand (62.6%)
4 - Australia (61.4%)
5 - United Kingdom (61.4%)
