Ch.10: Energy Balance and Weight Control Flashcards
are conditions in which individuals have excessive and unhealthy amounts of body fat. NATIONAL PROBLEM
obesity/overweight
Which group is more affected by obesity
blacks
Obesity related conditions include
heart disease
stroke
type 2 diabetes
types of cancer
Two major components of body composition are
fat free mass (body water/tissues)
total body fat (adipose tissue)
All cells contains some lipids but ______ ____ store a droplet of fat.
adipose cell
Characteristics of Subcutaneous fat
helps insulate
under the skin
protects muscle and bones from injury
Characteristics of Visceral fat
forms protective structure under abdominal muscles
Characteristics of white fat
white
functions to store fat
Characteristics of brown fat
contains more mitochondria and blood supply function to generate heat found in upper back and abdomen of infants
Types of tools to measure body fat: It compares weight on land to weight when completely submerged in a tank of water
underwater weighing
Types of tools to measure body fat: Uses multiple low energy x-rays to scan body. Provides detailed picture.
dual energy x ray absorptiometry
Types of tools to measure body fat:
Assesses body volume, volume of air in chamber with a person in it is compared to volume without the person in it
air displacement
Types of tools to measure body fat:
Measures conduction of a weak electrical current through the body
bioelectrical impedence
Types of tools to measure body fat:
Measured at multiple body sites by trained person
skinfold thickness
are macronutrients in foods and beverages
biological fuels
are the main fuels. Small amounts of amino acids are also metabilized for energy alcohol also provides energy
glucose and fatty acids
Energy is captures in the molecule
atp
energy cells use to carry out activities
energy output or expediture
4 types of outputs include:
basal and resting metabolism
physical activity
thermic effect of food
nonexercise activity thermogenesis
Sum of all chemical changes or reactions that constantly occur in living cells
metabolism
reactions require energy
anabolic
reactions release energy
catabolic
minimal number of calories used for vital physiological activities after fasting and resting for 12 hrs
basal metabolism
9 Factors the influence metabolic rate include
thyroid hormone levels gender age body surface area calorie intake fever stimulant drugs pregnancy and lactation recovery
Basal metabolic energy needs for men and women
men-1.0 kcal/kg/hr
women-.9 kcal/kg/hr
Caloric expenditure is dependent on
type of activity
duration
intensity
weight of the person
numerical value of relationship between body weight and risk of certain chronic health problems
BMI
Formula of BMI
wieght (ibs) / height (in) x 703
uncomfortable feeling leading to a desire to eat
hunger
sense that enough food was eaten
satiety
Proteins that regulate hunger include:
ghrelin
leptin
CCK
PYY
hormone secreted mainly by stomach, that stimulates eating behavior
ghrelin
hormone secreted by adipose cells that reduces hunger and inhibits fat storage in the body
leptin
hormone secreted by small intestine that reduces hunger
CCK
peptide secreted by intestines that reduces hunger
PYY
inherited characteristics that influence weight include
metabolic rate
hormone production
body frame sixe
pattern of fat distribution
Scientific notion that body fat content is genetically predetermined
set point theory
the desire to eat appealing foods
appetite
Environmental influences include
food advertising
increased portion sizes
conditions that reduces a person’s physical activity
factors that influence wieght
income' education self esteem mood boredom social pressure
Key factors of succesful long term weight management
motivation
calorie reduction
regular physical activity
behavior modification
Loss of 1 Ib body fate requires a negative energy state of
3500 kcal
are environmental factors that stimulate eating behaviors such as viewing food commercials
cues
is effective method of treating extreme obesity. surgery reduces size of stomach, limiting amount of food that can be eatern
bariatric surgery
little stomach pouch is created. The small intestine is cute and the lower end is attached to the newly formed stomach pouch
roux-en Y gastric bypass
portion of the stomach is removed leaving a banana shaped stomach pouch
sleeve gastrectomy
surgical method of sunctioning the excess body fat out of the body. cosmetic surgery
liposuction
Factors contributing to underweight:
genetics
lifestyle practices
chronic diseases
psychological disturbances
Female athlete triad
low energy intakes
abnormal menstrual cycles
bone mineral irregularities
