1
Q

BMI

A

(Weight in KG) / (Height in M)^2; ex., 63.5kg / (1.66m)^2 = 23 BMI
Inherently only reflects height and weight, not body composition
Tends to have a correlation with body fatness unless you’re a bodybuilder
Exceptions*: People who are lean and healthy, very muscular people, people who are <18 and still growing, pregnant women/lactating women, those who are 65+ (27-32 could be okay)

Central Obesity: Fat collecting deep within central abdominal area (visceral fat); ex., people with big stomachs but rock hard abs: it’s because it’s mixed around under the organs vs. subcutaneous pooch
Generally can be determined if you measure waist circumference as well
Increased risk of diabetes, stroke, HTN, CVD, death

waist circumference**

Reflects degree of visceral fatness, most practical indicator* of fat distribution
Where you take it depends on organization; pretty much the same
Take a deep breath then let it out (can’t suck in)
Health Canada: 102cm for men, 88cm for women = increased risk*
Heart and Stroke:
Men: 94cm+ = increased, 102cm+ = substantially increased risk*
Women: 80cm+ = increased, 88cm+ = substantially increased risk*

Q

Edmonton Obesity Staging System*

A

This assumes they’re already obese (30+ BMI)
Stage 0: Obese but no risk factors like BP, dyslipidemia, fasting glucose, symptoms
Stage 1: Subclinical, borderline risk factors
Stage 2: Established Diseases related to obesity: HTN, Type 2 Diabetes, Sleep apnea…
Stage 3: Organ damage related to obesity: Heart attacks, strokes…
Stage 4: Severe end-stage disabilities related to obesity; debilitation, impairment, limitations
Know the basics of each of these (none -> signs -> disease -> damage -> 2x damage)

Energy Out:

A

Lifestyle and metabolism; percents vary day to day
Basal Metabolism: Sum total of energy expended on all involuntary activities needed to sustain life except for digestion - heartbeat, breathing, skin maintenance
Physical Activities: All voluntary activities and variable element of energy output
Thermic Effect of Food: 5-10% of a meal’s energy is expended while digesting food
Protein has the highest thermic effect of food

19
Q

Leptin

A

Appetite-suppressing hormone made by adipose that contributes to satiety
If we gain fat = more leptin, less eating; opposite is true

20
Q

most practical indicator for health

A

waist circumference

21
Q

Fasting:

A

Glycogen stores are exhausted in a day
Protein is broken down to meet brain’s glucose needs; eventually breaks down heart/liver
Ketone bodies are converted from fat as well, most after 10 days of fasting
Healthy person could live 6-8 weeks without eating based on body’s reserves

22
Q

ketosis

A

leads to acid-base imbalance

23
Q

cleanses?

A

total bs

24
Q

Low Carb Diets:

A

Glycogen holds a lot of water: You may just be losing water weight; gained back after eating carbs, desserts tend to be high in carbs as well
Less variety = less interest/appetite, high protein foods also tend to be slow to prepare
Note that minimum carb intake is 130g/day to prevent ketosis, AMDR for carbs is 45-65% kcal

25
Q

Realistic Calorie Intakes:

A

Very Low Calorie Diets: <800 kcal/day, generally medically supervised (Dr. B Diet)
Calories are less important than eating a healthy, balanced diet

26
Q

Spot-reduction*

A

YOU CANNOT REMOVE FAT AROUND ONE PARTICULAR AREA

27
Q

surgeries for obesity

A

It depends and requires extreme obesity
BMI >40 alone or BMI >35 with coexisting disease
Person needs to be fit for surgery; not a cure and requires strict diet, control

29
Q

Gastric Bypass (Roux-en-y): Major surgery

A

Staples are placed to make a smaller, mini stomach; place on SI is cut, placed onto mini stomach so it goes straight to the jejunum (bypasses most of the stomach, duodenum)
It is a restrictive and malabsorptive* method of weight loss
Need to take vitamin supplements since you’re absorbing less

30
Q

Gastric Sleeve:

A

You remove most of the stomach except for a banana-width portion of the stomach, both sphincters are left intact however
Restrictive* method of weight loss; can lead to complications, depends on compliance
Vitamin and Mineral deficiencies can occur

31
Q

Sibutramine

A

Suppresses appetite; is a serotonin reuptake inhibitor

32
Q

Orlistat

A

Inhibits pancreatic, gastric lipase; reduces fat absorbed by the body but in turn may lead to fatty shits

32
Q

Orlistat

A

Inhibits pancreatic, gastric lipase; reduces fat absorbed by the body but in turn may lead to fatty shits

33
Q

Saxenda

A

Combination of disordered eating, amenorrhea, osteoporosis
Disordered Eating: Inadequate nutrition/restrictive dieting + overexercising, weight loss, lack of fat, and extreme bodily stress
Amenorrhea: Absence of periods, caused by the extreme stress, disordered eating, leads to diminished hormones
Osteoporosis: Lowered bone mass and density caused by malnutrition, lack of hormones

39
Q
