Obesity
- 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 and life style which leads toward obesity
Obesity is defined as excessive body fat that may impair health. It is measured through body mass index (BMI), with a BMI over 30 considered obese. Unhealthy lifestyles like poor diet, inactivity, excessive screen time, lack of sleep, and smoking can contribute to weight gain and obesity. Social and economic factors may also influence obesity rates. Obesity increases the risk of serious diseases like heart disease, diabetes, and certain cancers.
Is obesity a disease or lifestyle issue
Wait, is lung cancer a disease?
Many people believe that obesity can be overcome by eating less and burning more calories. Many others think that those who aren’t able to lose weight are simply lazy and lead an undisciplined life. In short, “if you’re fat, it’s your fault.” The blame is almost always placed onto the overweight person. However, this is not true.

Explanations for the global rise of obesity include nutrition transitions to highly processed diets and increasingly sedentary lifestyles in many societies. The WHO recognizes obesity as a global epidemic with over 2.3 billion people projected to be overweight by 2015.
Obesity
Obesity is defined as excess body fat accumulation that can impair health. It is assessed using body mass index (BMI), waist circumference, and other measures. While some argue it is not a true disease, others believe it is as it is associated with numerous comorbidities. Treating obesity involves diet, exercise and behavior changes. Pharmacotherapy or surgery may be used for more severe obesity, especially if comorbidities are present. Maintaining weight loss is challenging as the number of fat cells does not decrease significantly with dieting.
OBESITY
Obesity is a condition where excess body fat accumulates and causes health issues like diabetes and heart disease. It is mainly caused by consuming more calories than burned through lack of exercise and genetics. A person is considered obese when their body mass index (BMI), a ratio of weight to height, is over 30 kg/m2. To fight obesity, one should exercise regularly, eat a balanced diet low in fat and high in fiber, and maintain a healthy BMI.
Nutrition and obesity ppt
Obesity is a medical condition occurring when excess body weight may negatively impact health. It is related to nutrition and lifestyle factors. Obesity can be caused by consuming more calories than burned through diet, activity levels, medical issues, and genetics. Negative effects include increased risk of death, diseases like heart disease, stroke, diabetes, and mental health issues. Obesity is diagnosed through BMI and may involve blood tests. It can be prevented by eating less processed foods, more fruits and vegetables, controlling portions and being physically active. Treatment involves sustainable weight loss through lifestyle changes and may include medication or surgery for severe cases.

appetite regulation
The document discusses the physiological basis for control of appetite and body weight. It describes how hunger, appetite, and satiety are regulated by the hypothalamus in response to signals from the gastrointestinal tract, adipose tissue, and hormones like ghrelin, leptin, insulin, and PYY. These signals influence centers in the hypothalamus that control food intake and energy balance on both a short term and long term basis. Dysregulation of these systems can lead to clinical conditions like obesity, eating disorders, and hyperphagia.
The Amazing Benefits of Omega 3
Omega 3 has incredible health benefits, check out this presentation now to find out how it could change your life!
Omega 3 fatty_acids
This document from the Pennington Biomedical Research Center provides information on omega-3 fatty acids. It defines omega-3 fatty acids and describes their main types: ALA, EPA, and DHA. Sources of each type are outlined. The roles of DHA in visual development and EPA/DHA in cardiovascular health are summarized. Studies on omega-3's relationships to coronary heart disease, stroke, cancer, diabetes, inflammatory diseases, depression and other conditions are highlighted at a high level.
Appetite regulation
The document discusses appetite regulation and the hormones involved. It begins by defining appetite and hunger, and how they are regulated by the hypothalamus and hormones. It then describes hormones like ghrelin, leptin, PYY, and CCK that are involved in appetite suppression or stimulation. The hypothalamus contains neuronal pathways that sense these hormones and regulate energy intake and expenditure. Neuropeptides in these pathways like NPY, AgRP, and MCH stimulate appetite while others like POMC suppress it. In summary, a complex interplay between the brain, digestive system, and fat tissue controls appetite through hormonal signals.

Key causes discussed are excessive calorie intake, lack of physical activity, and genetic factors. Major health risks of obesity include heart disease, diabetes, cancers, and reduced life expectancy. Treatment focuses on lifestyle changes like diet and exercise, as well as weight loss medications and bariatric surgery in severe cases.
Preventing diabetes and obesity in mental health disorders
This document summarizes a presentation on preventing diabetes and obesity in patients with mental health issues. It discusses how mental health disorders are associated with higher risks of diabetes and metabolic syndrome due to genetic and lifestyle factors as well as some medications used to treat mental health conditions. Treatment of diabetes and other vascular risk factors is essential for patients with mental health issues since premature death is often due to cardiovascular disease rather than suicide. The presentation emphasizes preventing and early identification of diabetes and metabolic syndrome through lifestyle counseling, monitoring weight and metabolic markers, and treating obesity and diabetes when present.
Obesity ,complication,metabolic syndrome by dr.Tasnim
This document discusses obesity, including its definition, diagnosis, complications, and global context regarding metabolic syndrome. Obesity is defined as having a body weight 20% or more above standard weight and is caused by excess calorie intake relative to expenditure. It is diagnosed using BMI and body fat percentage measurements. Complications include various health conditions such as cardiovascular disease and diabetes. Globally, over 650 million adults are obese, and metabolic syndrome, characterized by abdominal obesity and related metabolic abnormalities, increases the risks of diabetes and heart disease. Treatment involves lifestyle changes like diet and exercise as well as medical interventions.
Decoding obesity The lifestyle disease
It's important to recognize that obesity is a complex disease with many contributing factors, and there is no one-size-fits-all solution. It's essential to work with a healthcare professional to develop a personalized plan for managing and treating obesity.
Over nutrition.pptx
Overnutrition refers to abnormal or excessive fat accumulation that can impact health. It includes overweight and obesity. Overweight is defined as a BMI between 25-30, while obesity is a BMI over 30. Childhood obesity is a BMI at or above the 95th percentile. It is associated with higher risks of chronic diseases. Factors contributing to overnutrition include energy-dense foods, low physical activity levels, and changes in living environments and lifestyles. Assessment involves measuring BMI, diet/activity history, physical exam, and potential lab tests. Prevention focuses on healthy weight through lifestyle and behavioral changes. Treatment prioritizes behavior modifications, with more aggressive options only for those not responding to other interventions.

Definition: A condition in which the body carries excessive and unhealthy amounts of fat tissue, leading the individual to weigh in excess of 20 percent more than his or her ideal weight
Causes and Symptoms
Obesity is a condition in which the body accumulates an abnormally large amount of adipose tissue, or fat. It is a multifactorial, chronic disease that is rapidly increasing and having devastating effects on health worldwide, especially in high- and middle-income countries. Overweight and obesity are linked to more deaths around the globe than underweight, and obesity is a major risk factor for cardiovascular disease, diabetes, musculoskeletal disorders such as osteoarthritis, and some cancers. The disease has social, cultural, genetic, metabolic, behavioral, and psychological components. People who are obese also face stigma and discrimination in work and social settings. Obesity is preventable. Obesity and overweight are the second leading cause of preventable deaths in the United States.

Obesity
Obesity is a medical condition defined by excess body fat that may negatively impact health. A person is considered obese when their body mass index (BMI), a ratio of weight to height, exceeds 30 kg/m2. Potential causes of increasing obesity rates include lack of sleep, environmental pollutants, decreased smoking, and genetic factors passed between generations. Consequences of obesity include increased risk of heart disease, diabetes, and other health issues due to the body's inability to cope with large fat accumulation. Treatment focuses on lifestyle changes like diet and exercise, but may also include weight loss drugs or surgery for severe cases.

LAPAROSCOPIC SURGERY FOR MORBID OBESITY
Obesity is a chronic, debilitating, life long disease giving rise to many other diseases. Severe obesity is
associated with co-morbidities including type 2 DM, hypertension, dyslipidemia, obstructive sleep apnoea,
obesity hypoventilation syndrome, polycystic ovarian syndrome, stateohepatosis, asthma, back and lower
limb degenerative problem, cancer and premature death. Morbid obesity has acquired epidemic proportions in the west. Traditional approaches to weight loss including diet, exercise and medication achieve no more than 5-10 % reduction in body weight with high relapse rates. So far, there was no effective remedy for morbid obesity. Bariatric surgery is the only effective means of achieving long term weight loss in the severely obese. The international guideline for bariatric surgery are BMI > 40 kg/m2 BMI > 35 kg/m2 together with obesity related disease. Bariatric surgery can achieve sustained weight loss durable to at least 15 years and causes marked improvement in co-morbidities.
Chronic diseases
This document discusses several chronic diseases including diabetes, coronary heart disease, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, asthma, and obesity. It defines each condition, lists common symptoms and causes, and outlines approaches for prevention and treatment, with a focus on lifestyle modifications, medication management, and reducing risk factors. Chronic diseases are a major global health issue responsible for significant mortality that could be mitigated through public health education and clinical interventions.
OBESITY AND ITS PHARMACOTHERAPY: AN UPDATE
The document discusses obesity, its causes, health risks, and current treatment options. It defines obesity as a BMI of 30 or higher and notes that obesity increases the risk of diseases like diabetes and heart disease. Several prescription drugs are available to treat obesity, but they often only result in 3-4% weight loss and have side effects. Research is ongoing to develop safer and more effective anti-obesity drugs, including from herbal sources, but outcomes have not been promising so far. Lifestyle changes like diet and exercise remain important for long-term obesity management.
9- Overweight and Obesity nurs.pptx
This document discusses obesity and overweight, defining them as abnormal or excessive fat accumulation that can impair health according to BMI measurements. It notes that obesity is a growing problem, killing more people worldwide than underweight. The fundamental cause is an energy imbalance between calories consumed and expended, exacerbated by increased intake of unhealthy foods and decreased physical activity. Health risks of obesity include heart disease, diabetes, and certain cancers. Both obesity and these related diseases are largely preventable through diet and exercise.

Obesity is recognized as a global health crisis. Weight loss surgery offers a treatment that can reduce weight, induce remission of obesity-related diseases, and improve the quality of life. This review summarizes recent evidence related to the safety, efficacy, and metabolic outcomes of weight loss surgery for morbid obesity. The article also highlights various issues when lifestyle modifications and weight loss medications have failed to provide significant weight loss in the majority of obese people.Tharwats FamilyTharwats Family.docx
This document discusses obesity and its management through diet and exercise. It provides definitions of obesity based on BMI and waist circumference. Obesity is a risk factor for many health conditions. Dietary intervention is key to weight loss, including low-calorie, low-fat, low-carbohydrate diets, and very low-calorie diets. Exercise alone does not lead to significant weight loss but helps maintain weight lost through diet. Combining calorie restriction and exercise can result in 5-9% weight loss over 6 months.
Metabolic_Syndrome(0).ppt
Metabolic syndrome is a cluster of conditions that increases the risk of heart disease, diabetes and stroke. It includes increased blood pressure, high blood sugar, excess body fat around the waist, and abnormal cholesterol levels. Having more of these conditions increases health risks significantly. The syndrome is related to insulin resistance and affects nearly 25% of American adults. Lifestyle changes including diet, exercise and weight loss are important for prevention and treatment.

We’re talking about Vedic Meditation, a form of meditation that has been around for at least 5,000 years. Back then, the people who lived in the Indus Valley, now known as India and Pakistan, practised meditation as a fundamental part of daily life. This knowledge that has given us yoga and Ayurveda, was known as Veda, hence the name Vedic. And though there are some written records, the practice has been passed down verbally from generation to generation.Lecture 6 -- Memory 2015.pptlearning occurs when a stimulus (unconditioned st...

Cell Therapy Expansion and Challenges in Autoimmune Disease
There is increasing confidence that cell therapies will soon play a role in the treatment of autoimmune disorders, but the extent of this impact remains to be seen. Early readouts on autologous CAR-Ts in lupus are encouraging, but manufacturing and cost limitations are likely to restrict access to highly refractory patients. Allogeneic CAR-Ts have the potential to broaden access to earlier lines of treatment due to their inherent cost benefits, however they will need to demonstrate comparable or improved efficacy to established modalities.
In addition to infrastructure and capacity constraints, CAR-Ts face a very different risk-benefit dynamic in autoimmune compared to oncology, highlighting the need for tolerable therapies with low adverse event risk. CAR-NK and Treg-based therapies are also being developed in certain autoimmune disorders and may demonstrate favorable safety profiles. Several novel non-cell therapies such as bispecific antibodies, nanobodies, and RNAi drugs, may also offer future alternative competitive solutions with variable value propositions.
Widespread adoption of cell therapies will not only require strong efficacy and safety data, but also adapted pricing and access strategies. At oncology-based price points, CAR-Ts are unlikely to achieve broad market access in autoimmune disorders, with eligible patient populations that are potentially orders of magnitude greater than the number of currently addressable cancer patients. Developers have made strides towards reducing cell therapy COGS while improving manufacturing efficiency, but payors will inevitably restrict access until more sustainable pricing is achieved.
Despite these headwinds, industry leaders and investors remain confident that cell therapies are poised to address significant unmet need in patients suffering from autoimmune disorders. However, the extent of this impact on the treatment landscape remains to be seen, as the industry rapidly approaches an inflection point.

Pharmacology of 5-hydroxytryptamine and Antagonist
5-hydroxytryptamine or 5-HT or Serotonin is a neurotransmitter that serves a range of roles in the human body. It is sometimes referred to as the happy chemical since it promotes overall well-being and happiness.
It is mostly found in the brain, intestines, and blood platelets.
5-HT is utilised to transport messages between nerve cells, is known to be involved in smooth muscle contraction, and adds to overall well-being and pleasure, among other benefits. 5-HT regulates the body's sleep-wake cycles and internal clock by acting as a precursor to melatonin.
It is hypothesised to regulate hunger, emotions, motor, cognitive, and autonomic processes.
