world kidney day
World Kidney Day was established to raise awareness of chronic kidney disease (CKD) and encourage detection and prevention programs. CKD affects over 20 million Americans and is a major cause of death worldwide. While kidney failure requiring dialysis has increased, CKD is often preventable or treatable through control of diabetes, hypertension, and obesity. World Kidney Day aims to educate the public and healthcare professionals about CKD risks and signs through collaborative events around the world each March.
Obesity paradox
The document discusses the paradoxical relationship between obesity and mortality in patients with kidney disease undergoing dialysis. Several studies are reviewed that found higher BMI in dialysis patients was associated with lower risks of death and hospitalization, unlike the general population where obesity increases health risks. The studies accounted for various factors and found even extreme obesity was protective. Weight gain over time was also associated with reduced mortality risk. The reasons for this reverse epidemiology are unclear but proposed mechanisms include increased stores of nutrients and anti-inflammatory proteins in adipose tissue.

Obesity Presentation
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.
Obesity
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.
Lec 8 nutrition for health promotion and disease prevention 2
Improving diets and increasing physical activity can reduce risks of death and disability from chronic diseases according to WHO. A document discusses how chronic diseases like heart disease, cancer and diabetes are linked to dietary and lifestyle factors. It recommends improving intake of fruits and vegetables while limiting foods high in saturated fat, sugar and salt to help prevent chronic diseases. Maintaining a healthy diet and active lifestyle are important for reducing risk factors and promoting overall health.
Genetic Factors
Genetics play a significant role in obesity, accounting for 30-40% of cases. Twin studies show genetics have a strong influence on body mass index (BMI) with monozygotic twins having more similar BMIs than dizygotic twins. While single-gene defects cause rare cases of severe obesity, most common obesity is influenced by dozens to hundreds of genes interacting with environmental and behavioral factors. The roles of these genes are still being uncovered, but genetics are not destiny as lifestyle choices can counteract genetic effects, and not all carriers of obesity genes become overweight.

Childhood obesity
This document discusses obesity in children. It notes that obesity is reaching epidemic proportions globally, including in developing countries. In India, studies have shown increasing rates of overweight and obesity in children, particularly in urban and affluent populations. Childhood obesity can lead to health issues not only during childhood but also in adulthood. The causes of childhood obesity are often exogenous or environmental factors like diet, sedentary lifestyle, and genetics. Treatment involves dietary changes, increased physical activity, behavior modification, and treatment of any related health complications. A multidisciplinary approach with family involvement tends to have the best outcomes.
Kidney stones and obesity
This document presents a proposed research plan to study the prevalence of kidney stones in obese patients. It introduces the problem that obese individuals have a higher risk of developing kidney stones. The purpose is to develop a qualitative research plan to establish the prevalence, causes, current statistics, and ways to control and prevent both conditions. The study will seek to answer questions about how weight impacts kidney stone risk, barriers to preventing obesity and stones, and best practices. The hypothesis is that obesity increases kidney stone risk and that lack of self-efficacy and modern lifestyles cause obesity and stones. The theoretical framework is Bronfenbrenner's ecological systems theory, which posits that health is shaped by interactions within one's ecology.

Survey of Different Factors Causing Obesity & Prevalence of Different Related Diseases in Obese People
Approach and management of chronic kidney disease sandeep
Chronic kidney disease is a spectrum of conditions associated with progressive kidney function decline and damage. It is increasingly prevalent due to rising rates of diabetes and hypertension. Management involves identifying the underlying cause, calculating GFR to stage severity, investigating for complications, and slowing progression. Treatment focuses on managing complications through diet, medication, and preparing patients for renal replacement therapies like dialysis and transplantation if kidney failure occurs. The goal is optimizing quality of life and outcomes through a coordinated multidisciplinary approach.
Power point obesity

obesity final
This document defines obesity and discusses its epidemiology, regulation, neurohumoral factors, and genetics. Some key points:
- Obesity is defined as excess adipose tissue and a BMI ≥30. It is more common in women and prevalence is increasing globally.
- The hypothalamus regulates appetite through centers that stimulate (lateral) or inhibit (ventromedial) eating. Leptin, adipokines, gut hormones, and pancreatic hormones also influence appetite.
- Genetic factors contribute to obesity risk, as seen in family and twin studies. Rare genetic syndromes like Prader-Willi can also cause obesity.
- Leptin normally inhibits appetite but leptin

Obesity ruiyan-jin_
This document discusses obesity rates in America. It finds that over 25% of 2-5 year olds and over 40% of 16-19 year olds are overweight. Among adults, around 40-45% of those aged 20-59 are overweight, as are around 43% of those over 60. The rise in obesity is attributed to factors like increased fast food consumption, food insecurity and poverty, lack of awareness about healthy diets, and a fast-paced industry environment. Solutions proposed include monitoring weight, practicing healthy eating habits like limiting snacking and increasing fruit/vegetable intake, creating a healthier public food system, and better education about nutrition and exercise.
Childhood obesity with sound
The document discusses the issue of childhood obesity. Some key points made include:
- Nearly 1 in 3 American children ages 2-9 are overweight or obese, putting them at higher risk for health problems.
- Being overweight as a child often leads to weight issues as an adult.
- Goals to address childhood obesity include promoting healthy eating, physical activity, and less screen time.
- However, efforts to address childhood obesity through school programs have faced challenges, as parents and children resist healthier options due to preferences for fatty and processed foods. Sustainable solutions are needed that can actually effect positive change for children.
MyBodyWork MyBodyLife
The WHO report found that the number of overweight children under 5 doubled from 1990 to 2014, rising from 7.5 to 15.5 million. Childhood obesity can have disastrous health consequences, including depression, learning difficulties, hypertension, diabetes, early puberty, and increased risk of fractures. The key to addressing this social epidemic is prevention. MyBodyWork provides quick, reliable medical measurements to help pediatricians and support children's health and well-being.

Chilean experience: a good practice of food policy
Chile has high rates of obesity, overweight, sedentary behavior, and non-communicable diseases. To address these issues, Chile implemented several national food policies and plans. These include: 1) the Choose to Live Healthy national plan to promote healthy habits, 2) inclusion of obesity reduction targets in the National Health Strategy, 3) Acts establishing food composition limits, front-of-pack labeling, and marketing restrictions (Act 20.606), and 4) an Act taxing sugar-sweetened beverages (Act 20.780). The policies aim to improve food environments, leadership, monitoring, and multi-sector coordination to promote population nutrition and reduce health inequities.

Childhood obesity
This seminar presentation discusses the threat of childhood obesity to health. It defines childhood obesity and outlines its causes such as poor diet, lack of exercise, and genetic factors. The presentation notes that childhood obesity rates have increased dramatically in developed and developing countries alike. Left uncontrolled, childhood obesity can lead to serious health complications and affect academic and social development. Prevention requires a focus on healthy diet, exercise, limiting screen time, and parental involvement.
Childhood Obesity and How we can Help
Childhood obesity rates have more than quadrupled over the past 40 years, with nearly 1 in 3 children in the US being overweight or obese. Obesity contributes to increased risk of health issues like diabetes and cardiovascular disease. While one study found a decline in obesity rates among low-income children ages 2-4, other research has not shown a widespread decrease. The food industry can help by reducing sugar, fat and salt in children's foods and ensuring healthy options are affordable and accessible to all families. In order to curb childhood obesity, lifestyle changes are needed like increasing physical activity, improving nutrition, reducing screen time, and getting sufficient sleep.
OBESITY & OVERWEIGHT ‘a modern day havoc ’
Worldwide, obesity nearly tripled since 1975, with over 650 million adults and 340 million children classified as obese in 2016. Obesity is defined as abnormal fat accumulation that impairs health, measured as a BMI over 30 for adults and over 2 or 3 standard deviations for children depending on age. The fundamental causes of obesity are an energy imbalance from increased intake of unhealthy foods and decreased physical activity due to sedentary lifestyles. Obesity raises the risk of diseases like heart disease, diabetes, and certain cancers. Reducing obesity involves limiting unhealthy foods, increasing physical activity, and for some, bariatric surgery.
