Section 5 Quiz wrap up Flashcards
Q: what is the BMI of a 45lb woman who is 5’1?
27.4
Q: when using bioelectrical impedance analysis the electrical current will be faster through——- tissue
lean
11: body compostion tests
- Note body-composition tests methods
inexpensive and reasonably accurate
1. skinfold tests: skinfold caliper used; based on principle that subcutaneous fat is proportional to total body fat; proportion varies with sex, age,race, ethnicity, and other factors so must use population developed predicted equation
- Bioelctrical impedence anaylsis: calculates tissue and fluid compartments using a very low electrical current that passes through the body; fat free tissue in the body is propotional to electrical conductivity; lean muscle is a food conducotr of electical current (due to 70% water) and fat is not
more expensive and precise options
1. hyrdostratic weighing:
2. MRI
3. DEXA
Q: what is an example of nonexercise thermogenesis ?
shaking a foot during a meeting
11: exercise guidlines
Note on non-exercise thermogenesis (NEAT)
* defined as physiological processes that produce heat and represents common daily actvities (walking, fidgeting and standing)
* Health coaches should empower clients to find more ways to move and be active each day (using stairs, stand instead of sit, park far from store)
Q: what does FITT stand for?
Frequency, Intensity, Time, Type
11: aerobic training
- Health coaches may use FITT prnciple to discuss with clients how to design and implement a safe, effective spproach to exercise
Q: what are the 2 screening /diagnostic tests that are used to detect calcium in the coronary arteries?
CT and electron-beam CT
12: biometric and diagnostic assesments
*
The AHA recommends limintg the amount of trans fat to what percentage?
less than 1%
12: Nutritonal considerations
*
What is the most common cause of preventable death and disability?
Cigarette smoking
12: role of smoking as it related to CVD
- Cigarrett smokers die about 10 years earlier than nonsmokers; nonmokers increased risk of heart attack by 30% if they lived with smoker
- Cessation at 50 decreased risk by 50%; cessation by 40 decreased risk by 90%; cessation by 30 yr old decreased risk same risk has nonsmoker
note on smoking cessation interventions
* both pharmological ( nictoine inhalers, patches, gum, antidepressants, nicotine receptor partial agonists) and bhevioral approaches
* few data to support e cigarrettes for cessation aid
What are the two categories of treatments for hypertension?
Nonpharmacolgical(lifestyle) and pharmological interventions
13: treatment
- Lifestyle modifcation (can be as effective or more actually than meds in lowering BP)
1. Nutrition: DASH diet ( consume fiber and potassium via fruits, veegies and whole grains;reduce sodium intake to 1500 mg; reduce total and saturated fat; adequeate protein via lean meat and low fat dairy) + calcium, potassium and magnesium supplementation + reduce alcohol
- Exercise: at least 150 min/wk aerobic exercise (moderate intensity for 30 min at least 5 times/wk) + resistance training 2xs/wk; Avoid isometric exercises for those with hypertension and CVD; to avoid hypotension monitor exercise intesnity, change positions slowly, conclude exercise sessions with gradual and prolonged cool down, hydrate well, if chronic problem then ask physicican to adjust meds; yoga and tai chi beneficial
- Relaxation techniques: Meditation and Transmeditation(TM) reduce BP significantly
- pharmological
1. Thiazide diuretics: 1st drug of choice for uncpmlicated hypertension; decrease volume to lower BP
2. Beta blockers: decrease HR and contractility to lower BP
3. ACE inhibitors: decrease both fluid volume and vascular resistance to lower BP
4. angiotensin2 receptor blockers:
5. calcium channel blockers:
What does DASH stand for?
Dietary Aprroaches to Stop Hypertension
13: Nutrition
*
What kind of exercise should be avoided by people with hypertension an cardiovascular disease?
Isometric exercise
13:exercise
*
Which mindfulness practice was found to cause a significant reduction in blood pressure?
Transcendental meditation
13:relaxation techniques
*
What is the percentage of Americans with diabetes?
9.40%
14: introduction
*
What is a cause of type 2 diabetes?
a. autotimmune response
b. insulin restaince which occurs mosty in the muscle
c. nutritional deficiencies
d. pregnancy
answer seems odd
Nutritonal deficiencies
14: diabetes types: pathology and prgression
- 90% of diabetics have diabetes 2
- caused by liefstyle habits that promote insulin resistance such as sedntary lifestyle, excess caloric intake, and nutritional deficiencies
What would be an example of a SMART goal for a diabetic client?
Over the next 3 months, add 2 30 min moderate intensity walks during the week to increase weekly energy expenditure
*
What is the macronutrient diabetic clients should monitor closely in their diet, and why?
simple carbs because they can be converted quickly into glucose
14: macronutrients, weight gain, and inflammation
- on the contrary, complex carbs (whole grains, potatoes, and starches) have to be broken down and are more released slowly into the bloodstream
- Minimal amount of fats and proteins become glucose=little effect on blood glucose
