This document discusses eating disorders and obesity. It notes that over 55% of the US population is obese, which is a major risk factor for health conditions like heart disease and diabetes. The document defines ideal body weight calculations and body mass index (BMI) ranges. It reviews FDA-approved weight loss drugs like Orlistat and Silbutramine that help reduce appetite or fat absorption. The role of the hormone leptin in regulating appetite and metabolism is also summarized.
This document discusses protein-energy malnutrition (PEM), also known as protein-calorie malnutrition. PEM is a nutritional disorder prevalent in infants and pre-school children where there is an imbalance between the supply of nutrients and energy and the body's demand for growth and functions. The two extreme forms of PEM are Kwashiorkor and Marasmus. Kwashiorkor is caused by a deficiency of proteins along with adequate calorie intake, while Marasmus is caused by a deficiency of calories. The document outlines the clinical symptoms, biochemical alterations, and treatment of each condition.
Das ist ein Vortrag, den Dr. Clarence P. Davis im Jahre 2007 im Rahmen eines Anti-Aging Kongresses in Paris gehalten hat. Er beinhaltet theoretisches Basis- und Hintergrundswissen zu den verschiedenen Diaettypen, sowie einige praktische Beispiele aus dem aerztlichen Alltag.
The document discusses the ketogenic diet, which is a very low-carbohydrate, moderate protein, and high-fat diet. It puts the body into a state of ketosis, burning fat for energy and reducing blood sugar and insulin levels. Studies have shown the ketogenic diet can help with numerous health issues like heart disease, diabetes, cancer, and epilepsy. While there are initial side effects like fatigue and insomnia, benefits are seen after two weeks on the diet, including reduced appetite and increased focus/energy. Long-term studies over 15 years have found the diet is generally safe and effective for weight loss and improving biomarkers.
Bariatric surgery is currently the only effective treatment for sustained weight loss in patients with morbid obesity. The document discusses various bariatric procedures including laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding, sleeve gastrectomy, Roux-en-Y gastric bypass, and biliopancreatic diversion. It covers the indications, contraindications, preoperative evaluation and preparation, types of procedures, postoperative care, advantages, disadvantages, and complications of different bariatric surgeries. The goal of bariatric surgery is to improve health in morbidly obese patients by achieving long-term weight loss through caloric intake reduction and malabsorption.

- Obesity rates have tripled globally since 1980 due to increased consumption of energy-dense, processed foods and reduced physical activity. Every fourth person worldwide is now considered overweight or obese.
- Obesity is caused by a complex interplay of genetic, environmental, and behavioral factors. Key contributors include excessive calorie intake, lack of exercise, fast food consumption, and genetic predispositions.
- Maintaining a physically active lifestyle is important for preventing weight gain and fat accumulation over time as metabolism naturally slows with age. Both diet and exercise are needed to effectively treat and prevent obesity on a long-term basis.
Obesity is a chronic heath problem ,the no.of people having obese rising rapidly world wide and making obesity 1 of the fastest developing peoples health problem
The thin-fat phenotype seen in South Asians, especially Indians, may be due to small positive energy balances from lifestyle changes like reduced physical activity and consumption of high-fat, high-sugar foods. This can lead to excess fat accumulation even at a low BMI. Rural to urban migration increases risk as lifestyles transition. The thin-fat phenotype may represent a transitional phase as previously thin individuals gain weight on low muscle frames, rather than a unique genotype. Understanding its causes and interactions with an urbanizing environment is important for addressing metabolic disease risk in these populations.
This document summarizes obesity, its causes, risks, and treatment options. It discusses that obesity is caused by excessive calories and lack of physical activity. It can increase risks for health problems. Treatment includes dieting, exercise, and in severe cases, medication or surgery. Dieting focuses on calorie reduction and maintaining protein. Exercise alone causes limited weight loss but supports diet-based weight loss. The document provides information on assessing BMI and defining overweight and obesity.
This document discusses protein energy malnutrition (PEM) and various methods of classifying malnutrition. It defines PEM as a cellular imbalance between nutrient/energy supply and demand. PEM is classified as kwashiorkor, marasmus, prekwashiorkor, or nutritional dwarfism. The WHO classification uses underweight, stunting, and wasting based on weight-for-age, height-for-age, and weight-for-height. Other classifications discussed include Arnold based on mid-upper arm circumference, IAP and Jelliffe based on weight-for-age, Waterlow based on height-for-age, and ponderal index based on weight and height.
This document is a project submitted by Prathik to Rajiv Gandhi University of Health Sciences in partial fulfillment of a Bachelor of Physiotherapy degree. The project is titled "Effects of Diet and Physical Exercise in Obesity" and was conducted under the guidance of Dr. N. Mageswaran. It includes sections on the introduction to obesity, categories and types of obesity, pathophysiology of obesity, diet and exercise effects and guidelines, and a review of literature on the topic.
The document discusses the management of obesity through various means including assessing severity, etiology, medical problems associated with obesity, medical management, guidelines for treatment, and surgical management. It provides details on criteria for surgical treatment, preoperative preparation, and types of bariatric surgeries.
The document discusses obesity and its associated risks. It defines obesity as a chronic energy imbalance where calories consumed exceed calories expended. Individual behaviors, environment, and genetics all contribute to obesity. Excess weight gain is associated with increased risks of several health conditions like hypertension, cardiovascular disease, and certain cancers. Untreated hypertension can damage vital organs and increase risks of heart attack, stroke, kidney failure, and vision loss.
This document discusses morbid obesity and its treatment. It defines morbid obesity as weighing two or more times the ideal weight and being associated with serious health risks. It provides information on calculating BMI and risk factors for obesity like eating more calories than burned, stress, medications, and genetics. Signs and symptoms are significant weight gain and a BMI over 40. Physical effects include increased risk of stroke, respiratory disease, diabetes, and some cancers. Treatment options discussed are non-surgical approaches like diet and exercise, which often don't work long-term, and various bariatric surgery procedures that are more effective.
The document discusses obesity, including its definition, prevalence, health risks, and approaches to management. It defines obesity as a BMI of 30 kg/m2 or higher. Treatment involves lifestyle changes like diet and exercise, as well as potential pharmacotherapy or bariatric surgery. Behavioral interventions focus on self-monitoring, stimulus control, and nutrition counseling. Approved prescription medications include orlistat, lorcaserin, and phentermine-topiramate, but all have potential side effects. Bariatric surgery may be considered for those with a BMI over 40 or over 35 with comorbidities.

Unraveling the mystery behind typical obesity patterns in Asians. Why Asians burn fat sparingly
Why Asian BMI cut-offs are lower than that of western counterparts
This document discusses various methods for assessing obesity. It defines obesity as an excess accumulation of body fat that can negatively impact health. Methods of assessing obesity include body mass index (BMI), anatomical fat distribution patterns, biochemical differences between regional fat deposits, and the size and number of fat cells. BMI is a common measure of weight relative to height but may not accurately reflect total body fat. Abdominal fat carries greater health risks than lower body fat. Abdominal fat cells are typically larger and more responsive to hormones. Once gained, fat cells are never lost, even after weight loss.
The effect of high-fat versus high-carb diet on body composition in strength-...RefoRefaat
Low-fat, high-carb (LFHC) and low-carb, high-fat (LCHF) diets change body composition as a consequence of the reduction of body fat of overweight persons. The
aim of this study is the assessment of the impact of LFHC and LCHF diets on body
composition of men of a healthy body mass who do strength sports while maintaining the appropriate calorific value in a diet and protein intake. The research involved
55 men aged 19–35, with an average BMI of 24.01 ± 1.17 (min. 20.1, max. 26.1). The

This document summarizes the management of morbid obesity. It defines obesity as an energy imbalance, classifies obesity by BMI, examines the genetic and environmental origins of obesity, discusses current treatment options including diet, pharmaceuticals, and bariatric surgery, and explores the effects and prevalence of obesity.
This document discusses various theories of motivation, hunger, obesity, and dieting. It covers physiological, psychological, and social factors that influence eating behaviors and weight regulation. Several theories are described in detail, including the set point theory which proposes that the body maintains a homeostatic mechanism to defend a certain weight set point. Biological, cognitive, and environmental factors are all proposed to influence obesity development according to different theories. Common mistakes in dieting approaches are also listed.
Obesity is defined as a BMI greater than or equal to 25. There are two main types: exogenous obesity caused by consuming more calories than needed, and endogenous obesity resulting from endocrine or metabolic dysfunction. Obesity can be classified as either hyperplastic or hypertrophic. Common causes include overeating, pregnancy, menopause, oral contraceptives, diabetes, hyperlipidemia, and various endocrine disorders. Signs and symptoms include tight clothes, weight gain, and excess fat around the waist. Obesity is associated with increased risks of diabetes, heart disease, and other health problems. Preventive measures include following a healthy diet, portion control, exercise, limiting screen time, and monitoring weight and waistline
This document summarizes a randomized controlled trial that compared weight loss and metabolic outcomes after 2 years on a low-carbohydrate versus low-fat diet. 307 participants were assigned to either a low-carbohydrate diet with limited carbohydrate intake (20g/day for 3 months, then increasing) or a low-fat diet with limited calorie intake (1200-1800 kcal/day). Both diets were combined with behavioral treatment. At 2 years, weight loss was similar (around 7kg) between groups. The low-carbohydrate diet resulted in greater improvements in blood lipids but also more initial side effects. Long-term weight loss requires ongoing behavioral support regardless of diet.
This document discusses the potential metabolic effects of three aspects of nutrition: saturated fats, refined carbohydrates, and overeating. It reviews research on how each can contribute to conditions like metabolic syndrome. Saturated fats may increase risk when consumed in excess, though their effects are complex and inconsistent in studies. Refined carbohydrates are easily digested, causing blood sugar and insulin spikes that can lead to fat storage and insulin resistance over time. Overeating stresses the body's ability to process nutrients, increasing fat storage regardless of diet composition. Managing total calorie intake and choosing whole, complex carbohydrates and unsaturated fats may help support metabolic health.

The document discusses 8 popular diet plans and their effectiveness for weight loss and health benefits. It finds that intermittent fasting, plant-based diets like vegetarianism and veganism, and low-carb diets are among the most effective for weight loss. Intermittent fasting restricts eating times and has been shown to reduce weight and waist circumference. Plant-based diets limit calorie-dense animal products and most studies find they result in greater weight loss than non-plant-based diets. Low-carb diets like Atkins and keto restrict carbs in favor of protein and fat, and many studies show they cause more weight loss than low-fat diets.
A ketogenic diet to lose weight and fight metabolic diseasehananenina5
Obesity and metabolic diseases are major health problems worldwide.
In 2016, obesity affected 13% of adults globally.
Obesity is a risk factor of metabolic syndrome, a cluster of metabolic abnormalities, including type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, high waist-to- hip ratio, and low HDL (good) cholesterol.
To combat this, many diets have emerged, including the ketogenic diet, in which a person consumes a very limited amount of carbohydrates. Some research suggests this diet may have benefits for people with obesity.
However, some experts have questioned the health benefits of the keto diet and called for more research. While it may help you lose weight, there may also be complications.
This article explains how the keto diet may help people lose weight and manage metabolic disease. It also discusses some of the possible drawbacks.
xenixal presentation done by heba to al razi teamheba abou diab
Xenical is a medication used to aid weight loss and maintain weight loss when taken along with a reduced-calorie diet. It works by inhibiting the absorption of dietary fat in the stomach and intestines. Common side effects include oily or fatty stools but are generally mild. Studies show Xenical leads to 5-10% weight loss over one year when combined with lifestyle changes and helps improve obesity-related conditions like diabetes.
The keto diet is a low carb, high fat diet that puts the body into a metabolic state called ketosis. It involves drastically reducing carb intake and replacing it with fat to lower blood sugar and insulin levels and shift metabolism away from carbs and toward fat and ketones. Several versions of the keto diet exist, but the standard version is the most researched and recommended. Entering ketosis requires limiting carbs to 20-50g per day through diet and intermittent fasting. Potential benefits include weight loss, improved blood sugar control for diabetes, reduced risk factors for heart disease and cancer, and better management of neurological conditions like epilepsy.
This document analyzes the short-term benefits of the ketogenic diet (KD), such as fast weight loss and reduced blood lipids, versus the unknown long-term health outcomes. While initial studies show advantages of the KD, long-term consumption may lead to deficiencies. More research is needed to understand long-term effects, especially for average individuals not in disease states. The KD may not be a sustainable lifestyle change and could potentially cause psychological or physiological issues if maintained indefinitely.
The Ketogenic Diet: A Detailed Beginner’s Guide to KetoSara Beauty
The ketogenic diet (or keto diet, for short) is a low carb, high fat diet that offers many health benefits.
In fact, many studies show that this type of diet can help you lose weight and improve your health
Ketogenic diets may even have benefits against diabetes, cancer, epilepsy, and Alzheimer’s disease
Here is a detailed beginner’s guide to the keto diet.
The document discusses a lesson plan about fad diets for grades 8-12. It defines characteristics of fad diets like promoting quick weight loss and limiting food groups. It outlines two major types - low carbohydrate diets and low fat diets. Examples of low carb diets include Atkins and South Beach. Potential problems with low carb diets are discussed, such as inadequate nutrition and health risks like kidney stones. The lesson educates students on identifying fad diets and promoting sustainable lifestyle changes for long-term health.
This document summarizes a study that tested a 10-week lifestyle program focusing on increased fruit and vegetable consumption and exercise for reducing metabolic syndrome. The study found that participants who increased their fruit and vegetable intake to 6 servings per day and exercised 3 times per week saw significantly reduced waist circumference, weight, blood pressure, cholesterol levels, and a 24% reduction in metabolic syndrome incidence. In contrast, a group that only received general dietary and exercise advice saw no health improvements and a 6% rise in metabolic syndrome. The study demonstrates that modest lifestyle changes can meaningfully reduce metabolic syndrome risks within 10 weeks.
This systematic review analyzed 7 studies that examined the effects of intermittent fasting on weight loss and body composition changes compared to continuous calorie restriction. The studies showed that intermittent fasting resulted in 3-12% weight loss over trial periods of 10-52 weeks. Two studies found that intermittent fasting led to less lean muscle mass loss during weight loss compared to continuous calorie restriction. However, most studies did not differentiate between fat and lean mass changes. More research is still needed to better understand the long term impacts of intermittent fasting on health and weight maintenance.

This slide is very helpful for physiotherapy students and also for other medical and healthcare students.
Here is a summary of Pneumothorax:
Pneumothorax, also known as a collapsed lung, is a condition that occurs when air leaks into the space between the lung and chest wall. This air buildup puts pressure on the lung, preventing it from expanding fully when you breathe. A pneumothorax can cause a complete or partial collapse of the lung.

1. LOW-CARB, HIGH-FAT DIET EFFECT ON OLDER POPULATION
What is a low-carb, high-fat diet?
According to Bethany M. Doerfler, a clinical research dietitian in the division of gastroenterology and
hepatology at Northwestern Medicine in Chicago a low carb high fat diet has no single definition for
a low carb high fat diet. While there are some well-known low carb high fat diets like keto diet which
you need to follow to adhere to this style of eating, you can create your own low carb high fat diet
with a registered dietician. But the self-crafted diets usually deviate from the acceptable
macronutrient distribution range set by the Institute of Medicine which recommend that adults in
the U.S. get 45% to 65% of their daily calories from carbs, 20% to 35% from dietary fat and 10% to
35% from protein.
How Does Obesity Affect Older Adults?
Older adults with obesity are at a high risk of developing cardio-metabolic disease such as coronary
heart disease (CHD), stroke, and hypertension, as well as metabolic diseases, such as type 2 diabetes
and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). The deposition of fat in certain areas of the body, such
as the abdominal cavity and skeletal muscle is greatest risk of disease development in an obese older
adult.

What Is the Effect of Low-Carb, High-Fat Diet On Older Population?
There is scientific evidence that when you follow this diet it will help you lose weight and also
prevent some chronic diseases. One of the studies which back this up was carried out by A. Goss and
her team at the University of Alabama’s Department of Nutrition Sciences. The aim of the study was
to determine if a very low-carbohydrate (VLCD), high-fat diet would lead to a greater loss of fat
(total, visceral and intermuscular), preserve lean mass, and improve insulin sensitivity compared to a
standard CHO-based(carbohydrate)/low-fat diet (LFD) in older adults with obesity.
The clinical randomised trial was carried out on thirty-four men and women aged 60–75 years with
obesity (Body Mass Index (BMI) of 30–40kg/m2). The participants were randomised to a diet
prescription of either a Very Low Carbohydrate Diet (<10:25:65> CHO: protein: fat) or Low Fat Diet
(55: 25: 20) for 8 weeks. The body composition of the participants was tested by dual energy X-ray
absorptiometry(DXA), fat distribution by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), insulin sensitivity by
euglycemic hyperinsulinemic clamp, and lipids by a fasting blood draw were assessed at baseline and
after the intervention. According to A. Goss after the eight-week intervention the group consuming
the very low-carbohydrate diet lost more weight and total fat mass than the control diet group.

The primary difference in fat lost between the two groups was from the abdominal cavity and the
skeletal muscle depots. The research team also found significant improvements in the overall lipid
profile that would reflect decreased risk of cardiovascular disease. Further, insulin sensitivity
improved in response to the very low-carbohydrate diet reflecting reduced risk of Type 2 diabetes.
Overall, the researchers observed improvements in body composition, fat distribution and metabolic
health in response to an eight-week, very low-carbohydrate diet.

CONCLUSION
Low carb high fat diets like Keto diet are good for older people with obesity as it leads to a greater
loss of fat (total, visceral and intermuscular), preserves lean mass and improves insulin sensitivity
compared to a standard CHO-based(carbohydrate)/low-fat diet (LFD) in older adults with obesity.
