Q

GOLD STANDARD measurement for Obesity (but shouldn’t be)

A

Body Mass Index (BMI)

  • BW (kg)/Ht (m2)
  • Challenges to BMI:
    • Most accurate measurement=> BF%
    • Healthy, muscular= fall into overWT category
    • Persons w/ decd mm mass may fall into normal

Q

Waist (above iliac crest) to Hip (widest part hips) Ratio

FACTS

A
  • Considers diff’s in body type distributions
  • Waist circumference: above iliac crest→ fat around abdomen/organs
    • >40 in (males)
    • >35 in (females)

Q

Sequelae of being overweight or obese

A

see pics but NOTE the following:

  • Type 2 DM: insulin resistance in indivs w/ high lvls visceral fat (around abdomen)
  • Most Cx’s related to endocrine
  • Widespread systemic inflammation (not on list)
  • *Cx outcomes are poorer for obese indivs than normal wt indiv’s

Q

Pathophysiology of Obesity

Physiology of adipose tissue in obesity: Adipocytes

What do they do?

A
  • Adipocytes (fat cells)→ Release PROs (adipokines or adipocytokines) that act locally on tissues or systemically thru bloodstream
    • ROLE(S) of Adipokines:
      • Energy balance, Angiogenesis
      • Inflammation, Vasoconstriction

Pathophysiology of Obesity

Physiology of adipose tissue in obesity:

Brown Fat

A
  • Role→ Thermoregulation
  • Infants have HIGH amts
  • DECd amts in adults***

Q

Pathophysiology of Obesity

Physiology of adipose tissue in obesity:

White Fat

2 Roles:

A
  1. Storage of triglycerols for long-term energy reservoir
  2. Secrete PROs
    1. BAD→ all PRO-inflammatory
      1. TNF, IL-6, IL-8, resistin, acylation-stimulation PRO
    2. GOOD
      1. Leptin→ inflammation, immune function
      2. Adiponectin→ incs insulin sensitivity, anti-inflammatory
19
Q

Pathophysiology of Obesity

Physiology of adipocytes in obesity:

More on White Fat

Secreted PROs from White fat help regulate other body processes:

A
  • Fat metabolism, Energy balance, Feeding (hunger, app. suppress.), Hemostasis/vascular tone, Insulin sensitivity
20
Q

Pathophysiology of Obesity

Physiology of adipose tissue in obesity:

White Fat

Role #2: Secrete PROs

Talk about “Good” vs “Bad” again

A
  • BAD: PRO-inflammatory
    • TNF, IL-6, IL-8, resistin, acylation-stimulation PRO
  • GOOD:
    • Leptin→ inflammation, immune function
    • Adiponectin→ INC insulin sensitivity, ANTI-inflammatory
21
Q

Pathophysiology of Obesity

Physiology of adipose tissue in obesity:

Leptin and Hunger

A
  • Acts on hypothalamus to alter hunger
  • INCd leptin lvls act to depress hunger
  • In obese indivs→ HIGH lvls leptin exist→ BUT target receptors for leptin are LESS sensitive (do not recognize leptin) → don’t get “full” so keep eating****
22
Q

Benefits of Tx:

Strong evidence that Wt loss reduces risk factors for DM and CV disease

Explain the cascade of events WHY

A
  • Ex. of physiology
    • W/ Wt loss→ DECd # macrophages in adipose tissue→ DECd in local inflamm (may see clinical improvement in CVD, DM bc of improved action by adipocytes’ secreted PROs)
23
Q

GENERAL goals of Wt loss/Mgmt

A
  • Initial goal→ 10% reduction in bw OR if that is not possible, NO inc in wt.
  • Reasonable time frame→ 6mos
  • Wt maintenance should include diet, phys act, behavior tx
24
Q

Medical Intervention for Obesity

5:

A
  1. Dietary counseling
  2. Pharmacologic approaches
  3. Behavioral approaches
  4. Exercise***
  5. Bariatric Sx
25
Q

Bariatric Sx:

3 mentioned in lecture to KNOW:

A
  • Adjustable gastric band OR Vertical banded gastroplasty
  • Pancreatobiliary bypass or Duodenal switch
  • Gastric Bypass
26
Q

Bariatric Sx:

Adjustable gastric band OR Vertical banded gastroplasty

What does it do?

A

Restricts stomach volume by creating a smaller stomach pouch.

*Stomach left INtact

27
Q

Bariatric Sx:

Pancreatobiliary bypass or Duodenal switch

What does it do?

A

Malabsorptive procedure

*Removes portion of stomach

28
Q

Bariatric Sx:

Gastric Bypass procedure

What does it do?

A

Restricts stomach volume by bypassing the stomach w/ a gastrojejunostomy

29
Q

Gastric Banding Procedures

2:

A
  1. Adjustable gastric banding procedure
  2. Vertical banding gastroplasty
30
Q

Bariatric Sx:

Malabsorptive Procedures

2:

A

Gastric Bypass

32
Q

Gastric Bypass procedure aka

A

Roux-en-Y procedure

33

36
Q

Post-Op Bariatric Sx:

Follow-up medical care (6mo/1yr)

A
  • **Nutritional Supplementation

37
Q

Dumping Syndrome

*esp important during Follow-up medical care (6mo/1yr)

A
  • Sugary food leaves stomach QUICKLY!
  • Intestine swells up→ cramping and pain

43
Q

PT Exam: Tests and Measures

Documentation of functional limitations

A

Larsson and Mattsson, 2001

  • Women who are obese perceived disability to much higher extent vs women of “normal wt”
  • Noted diffs bw perceived functional limits and those that can be observed and measured***
44
Q

Other PT Considerations in Obesity

A
  • Wound care/skin checks esp areas w/ high friction or full contact
