Weight is a measure of mass and changes in weight can indicate medical issues. Weight gain occurs when caloric intake exceeds expenditure, leading to increased body fat and health risks. Weight can help identify disorders of various body systems. Body shape is also important, as apple-shaped bodies with central obesity carry higher disease risks than pear-shaped bodies. Body mass index and new measures like body volume index are used to assess obesity levels and health risks. A full assessment of weight issues considers diet, exercise, medications, medical history and other relevant factors.

Nutrition and HIV: More than 3 decades laterNelson Vergel
What is the role of nutrition and micronutrients in the management of patients with HIV in the new era of highly active anti-retroviral medications? What can we do to reduce metabolic side effects of certain HIV medications?
The global prevalence of overweight and obesity as a public health concern is well established and reflects the overall lack of success in our ability to achieve and maintain healthy body weight. Being overweight and obese is associated with numerous comorbidities and is a risk factor for several of the leading causes of death, including cardiovascular disease, diabetes mellitus, and many types of cancer.
The foundation of treatment has been diet and exercise.
Americans are obsessed with both food and dieting. As a nation, we love to eat. We eat out often, when meals are often higher in fat and calories than meals eaten at home; we eat larger portions; and we indulge in dozens of delicious “new” food products found on our grocery store shelves every year.

Obesity is a complex disease involving an excessive amount of body fat. Obesity isn't just a cosmetic concern. It is a medical problem that increases your risk of other diseases and health problems, such as heart disease, diabetes, high blood pressure and certain cancers.
There are many reasons why some people have difficulty avoiding obesity. Usually, obesity results from a combination of inherited factors, combined with the environment and personal diet and exercise choices.

10 tips for diabetes (gift at the end of the article)ghassenkrouma
Lifestyle changes can help prevent the onset of type 2 diabetes, the most common form of the disease. Prevention is especially important if you're currently at an increased risk of type 2 diabetes because of excess weight or obesity, high cholesterol, or a family history of diabetes.
If you have been diagnosed with prediabetes — high blood sugar that doesn't reach the threshold of a diabetes diagnosis — lifestyle changes can prevent or delay the onset of disease.
Making a few changes in your lifestyle now may help you avoid the serious health complications of diabetes in the future, such as nerve, kidney and heart damage. It's never too late to start.

Managing Type 2 Diabetes With A Diabetic Diet And Weight Loss.pptxDr Jonathan Spages
Type 2 diabetes is a chronic condition that affects millions of people worldwide. It occurs when the body either doesn't produce enough insulin or becomes resistant to insulin, a hormone that regulates blood sugar levels. This can lead to high blood sugar levels, which over time can damage various organs in the body, such as the kidneys, eyes, and heart. The good news is that Type 2 diabetes can often be managed through lifestyle changes, such as following a diabetic diet and losing weight. These changes can help control blood sugar levels, reduce the risk of complications, and improve overall health.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

2. Weight is a body’s relative mass or quantity of matter
contained by it.
Weight gain or loss are very good indicators of medical
diseases and must be considered as a diagnostic
criteria of great importance.
Weight changes result from changes in body tissue and
fluid while weight gain is when caloric intake exceeds
expenditure resulting in increased body fat and
consequently increased health risk factors.
Weight can help identify disorders involving all systems
of the body (cardiovascular, gastrointestinal,
respiratory, psychiatric, etc.).
3. Body shape and Fat
distribution:
Most people are have either an apple-shaped body or a pear-
shaped body, but there are many other different body shapes.
Obesity in Apple-shaped patients tend to have higher risk of
associated diseases than pear-shaped patients and is called
central obesity and important for BVI.
4.
5. How to assess obesity by using
BMI (body mass index):
Body mass index is a measure of body fat and is
used to categorize if a person is underweight,
normal, overweight or obese. People with increased
BMI have increased health risk factors.
6. How to assess obesity by using
BVI (body volume index):
Is a new application for the measurement of obesity:
Looks at relationship between mass and volume distribution(fat
distribution on different parts of body) since there are people of
different age, ethnicity, and body shapes.
It automatically measures BMI, waist circumference, and waist-hip
ratio in addition to 3D volumetric and body composition analysis.
Assigned to people with same BMI but different body shape and
weight distribution.

8. Checking for weight by scale, measure height, and
compare and identify if they are proportionate.
9. It is important to ask the
patient about any weight
loss or gain throughout the
years and throughout the
past few months, how does
the patient feel about his or
her weight or image, what is
the weight of other close
family members.
10. assessing dietary
intake including
sodium intake, water
intake, physical
exercise, does the
patient eat more while
stressed, in general
when does the patient
eat more or less, and
in which occasions.
12. Does the patient take any drugs associated
with weight gain such as tricyclic anti-
depressants, contraceptives, and
glucorticoids, or associated with weight
loss such as anti-depressants, levodopa,
and anticonvulsants.
Has the patient increased in weight after
pregnancy, is there any alcohol, cocaine, or
drug abuse which is associated with weight
loss, smoking cigarettes decreases appetite.
13. Does the patient avoid certain food or beverage
because of religious views or particular diseases
such as hypercholesterolemia or diabetes.
Assess the patients age, financial status since it
may affect food intake and nutrition.
Who shops or cooks for the patient, does the
patient have the ability to move freely or is
disabled, is there any emotional or mental
impairment, is there lack of teeth or cavities.
Malnutrition should be noticed with fatigue,
weakness, ankle swelling, flaky dermatitis, and cold
intolerance.
Check for distribution of fat and body shape, if it’s
generalised then its simple obesity but if there is
truncal fat with thin limbs then it’s Cushing's
syndrome or metabolic syndrome.
14. Unhealthy diet (excessive intake of fat and
carbohydrates)
Inactivity
Pregnancy
Lack of sleep
Certain medications
Endocrine disorders (hypothyroidism or
Cushing's syndrome)
Few due to genetics (leptin) or psychiatric
illness

Liver problems (fatty liver)
Obstructive sleep apnoea
Certain types of cancer
Osteoarthritis
Asthma
Metabolic syndrome
16. Patient refuses to maintain normally body
weight with a BMI less than 17.5, feels fat
although underweight, starving but in denial,
associated with depression, self-induced
vomiting, excessive training, bradycardia,
hypotension, amenorrhea, dry skin and dental
caries.
17. Repeated binge eating followed by self-
induced vomiting, excessive exercise

per week, with normal body weight,
lack of control of eating alternating
with starvation.
18. or wasting syndrome is loss of weight, muscle atrophy, fatigue,
weakness, and significant loss of appetite in someone who is not
actively trying to lose weight. Even if the affected patient eats more
calories, still patent will lose weight. seen in patients with cancer,
metabolic acidosis, infectious diseases such as tuberculosis and
AIDS, COPD, multiple sclerosis, congestive heart failure, mercury
poisoning and addiction to amphetamine. Also includes sarcopenia.
if the patient has cachexia, the chance of death from the underlying
condition is increased dramatically.
19. Healthy diet concerning food quality,
quantity, nutrition such as vitamins,
calcium, iron, information about healthy
and unhealthy fats, water intake, sodium
intake limited to 1500 mg per day to avoid
