4910: C12 Flashcards
adaptive thermogenesis
Energy expenditure above the thermic effect of food & REES, seen in response to over feeding, injury, hormonal changes, & cold environment.
kilojoule
Measurement of energy, the amount of work required to move one kilogram 1 meter with the force of one newton.
To convert height in inches to height in meters
inches x 0.0254 = meters
lb to kg conversation
lb / 2.2 = kilograms
Adverse health consequences of Overweight & Obesity
Type 2 Diabetes, HBP, Lipid Abnormalities, hepatobiliary disorders, cancers, reproductive disorders, premature death.
Rick factors for NAFLD
central obesity, DM2, hyperlipidemia, metabolic syndrom
When should phramacologic treatment be used for obesity?
BMI ≥ 30 or ≥ 27 if other risk factors exist.
BMI at which surgery is called for
BMI ≥ 40, or BMI ≥ 35 & sleep apnea, CVD, or DM
ascites
build up of fluid in the peritoneal cavity.
Physical activity goals
150 minutes (2hours 30minutes) of moderate-intensity, or 75 minutes of vigorous
BEE
Basal energy expenditure. Approx. 60%. Usually substitute REE or RMR which are approx. 10% higher than BEE
PA
physical activity - most variable
TEF
thermic effect of food. Approx. 10%
TEE
Total Energy Expenditure. BEE + PA + TEF = TEE
Resting Energy Expenditure
The energy necessary to sustain life & organ function, accounts for approx. 60% to 75% of energy expenditure per day. Is roughly 1kcal/kg body wt/hr.
