Obesity Flashcards
what is defined as an increase in body weight above a standard related to height?
Overweight
what is defined as being characterized by an abnormally high percentage of body weight as fat of sufficient magnitude to impair health
obesity
what is a concept defines by life insurance companies- is the weight associated with the lowest mortality rate for a given height and gender?
Ideal body weight (IBW)
IBW:
what is IBW for a female
height (cm) - 105
IBW:
what is IBW for Males
height (cm) - 100
is lean body weight (LBW) synonymous with IBW
no
LBW:
how is it calculated or what is it defined as
the TBW minus the adipose tissue weight
LBW:
formula
IBW + (20 to 40%)
what is the formula for BMI
BMI = kg / m^2
BMI:
Underweight
BMI:
normal
18.5-24.9
BMI:
Overweight
25-29.9
BMI:
Obese (I)
30-34.9
BMI:
Obese (II)
35-39.9
BMI:
Morbid obesity (III)
>/= 40
BMI:
Superobese
>/= 50
BMI:
Super-superobese
>/= 60
Distribution of Body fat:
what are the 2 types of body fat?
Android (apple)
Gynecoid (pear)
Distribution of Body fat:
Apple or Pear
Apple
Distribution of Body fat:
Apple or pear
pear
Distribution of Body fat: Android (apple)
fat is predominetly located where?
upper body
Distribution of Body fat: Android (apple)
associated with increased consumption of what?
O2
Distribution of Body fat: Android (apple)
have an increaced incidence of CV disease particulary what?
LV dysfunction
Distribution of Body fat: Gynecoid (pear)
fat is usually where
hips
butt
thighs
Distribution of Body fat: Gynecoid (pear)
why is there a decreases risk of CV disease in these pt’s
less metabolically active fat
what is the newly est standard used as a marker for abdominal obesity?
waist circumference
A waist circunference greater than what in men denotes an increased risk for certain diseases and conditions including DM, Heart dz, HTN, dyslipidemia, and death?
102 cm (40.2 inches)
A waist circunference greater than what in women denotes an increased risk for certain diseases and conditions including DM, Heart dz, HTN, dyslipidemia, and death?
58cm (34.6 inches)
Respiratory:
what happens to lung voumes
decrease
Respiratory:
what happes to work of breathing
increases
Respiratory:
what are some of the airway changes
decreased pharyngeal area
excessive hypopharyngeal tissue
posterior displaced hyoid bone
Respiratory:
fat accumulation on the thorax and abdomen decress chest wall and lung compliance by about how much
35%
Respiratory:
what happens to TLC, ERV and FRC
decreased
Respiratory:
what happens to TV, residual voume, and closing capacity
nothing, usually no changes
Respiratory:
the reduction in FRC is explained primarily d/t what?
reduced ERV
FRC = RV + ERV
Respiratory:
when CC > FRC what occurs
V/Q mismatch
Respiratory:
Once CC > FRC and the V/Q mismatch arises what occurs?
CO2 retention (acidosis)
right to left shunting
arterial hypoxemia
Respiratory:
In response to the CO2 retention and arteial hypoxia what are their respiration usually like
rapid and shallow
Respiratory:
they develop what type of respiratory disease pattern
restrictive
Respiratory: anesthesia concerns
the obese pt has a decrease in FRC of how much compared to the 20% decrease if the non-obese
50%
Respiratory:
obesity increases ____ and _____ even at rest
oxygen consumption and CO2 production
Respiratory:
bc of the increased O2 consuption and CO2 production combined with the decreased FRC and V/Q mismatch the obese pt usually develops chronic what?
arterial hypoxia
Respiratory:
the chronic arterial hypoxia leads to what CV problems
Pulm HTN and Cor Pulmonale
Aka right heart failure
