True statement(s) about obesity types: Apple type obesity is predominantly characteristic to men Hyperplastic type is typically formed in adulthood In apple type obesity, the ratio of waist to hip circumference is elevated Android (Apple) type obesity is a risk factor for diabetes mellitus type I
Apple type obesity is predominantly characteristic to men
In apple type obesity, the ratio of waist to hip circumference is elevated
True statement(s) about obesity types: Apple type obesity is predominantly characteristic to men Hypertrophic type is typically formed in adulthood In apple type obesity, the ratio of waist to hip circumference is elevated Android type obesity is a risk factor for diabetes mellitus
Apple type obesity is predominantly characteristic to men
Hypertrophic type is typically formed in adulthood

Android type obesity is a risk factor for diabetes mellitus
Possible mechanism(s) for obesity formation:
decreases in heat generation
excess food intake
decreases in energy consumption
blood supply alterations of adipose tissue
decreases in heat generation
excess food intake
blood supply alterations of adipose tissue
Possible mechanism(s) for obesity formation EXCEPT:
decreases in heat generation
excess food intake
decreases in energy consumption
blood supply alterations of adipose tissue
decreases in energy consumption

FALSE statement(s) regarding obesity: Its prevalence has increased in developed countries over recent years Apple type obesity has worse prognosis compared to pear type Android type obesity is a risk factor for diabetes mellitus type I It belongs to alterations related to civilization Hyperplastic type is typically formed in childhood
Android type obesity is a risk factor for diabetes mellitus type I
Typical alteration in metabolic syndrome, EXCEPT: hyperglycaemia hypertension hyperthyroidism obesity plasma lipid level alterations
hyperthyroidism
Obesity is in bidirectional risk relationship with the following disease(s): malignancies ischemic heart disease liver diseases type I diabetes mellitus
malignancies
ischemic heart disease
liver diseases
May cause obesitiy, EXCEPT: excess food intake glomerulonephritis alteration in leptin regulation decreases in heat generation capability decreases in energy consumption
glomerulonephritis
decreases in energy consumption
True statements about leptin: it influences hypophysis function small steran frame molecule it decreases hunger sensation it is synthesized in the liver kidney transformation is needed for its activity
it decreases hunger sensation
The first therapeutic choice if metabolic syndrome is suspected:
decrease of heart rate
decrease blood glucose level with insulin
decrease of blood pressure with diuretics
lifestyle changes
decrease of blood pressure with ACE-inhibitors
lifestyle changes
Mechanism of hypertension formation in obesity:
The increased amount of adipose tissue increases peripheral resistance
Enhanced propensity to diabetes mellitus
Decreased physical activity
Increased gravitational strain on the vessel system
Elevated serum triglyceride level
The increased amount of adipose tissue increases peripheral resistance
Elevated serum triglyceride level
FALSE statements about obesity:
It is more frequent in low income populations
May be caused by increased food intake as a consequence of civilization
May be caused by decreased physical activity as a consequence of lifestyle changes
Obesity formed in older age has worse prognosis
Inherited components play important role in its formation
Obesity formed in older age has worse prognosis
