Q

How does glycemic index vary?

A

Preparation - fat, fiber, and acid lower the glycemic index; cooking starches (pasta) longer - higher glycemic index
Ripeness - fruits like bananas have an increased glycemic index as they ripen
Combining high-glycemic index foods with lower will reduce the GI of a meal

Q

Mortality Data For Obesity

A

Least among BMI 22.5 to 25; mortality increases for each 5 kg/m2 increase in BMI; overweight BMI (25-29) at age 40 lived 3 years less, 30-30 lived 2-4 years less, BMI 40-45 lived 8-10 years (comparable with the effects of smoking)

20
Q

BRFSS

A

Behavioral RIsk Factor Surveillance System -State level; telephone survey and underestimates obesity

21
Q

NHANES

A

National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey - Nationwide, interviews and physical exams - random selection via census data

22
Q

Edmonton Obesity Staging System

A

Stage 0 - No signs of risk factors
Stage 1 - subclinical risk factors
Stage 2 - Comorbidity requiring intervention
Stage 3 - Significant end organ damage
Stage 4 - End-stage disease or disability

23
Q

International Diabetes Federation (IDF)

A

Asian Countries (overweight >23-24; Obesity > 27-29)

24
Q

OMA Diagnosis of Obesity

A

Obesity is defined as a chronic, relapsing, multifactorial, neurobehavioral disease, wherein an increase in body fat promotes adipose tissue dysfunction and abnormal fat mass physical forces, resulting in adverse metabolic, bio mechanical, and psycho social health consequences.

25
Q

Obesity definition - American Council on Exercise Classification (waist circumference)

A

Cau M - 40”; F - 35”
AA M - 37”; F - 31.5”
Latino M - 35.5”; F - 31.5”
Asian M - 33.5”; F - 31.5”

26
Q

American Association of Clinical Endocrinologists

A

Overweight - BMI 25-29.9 without complications
Obesity - BMI > 30 - no complications
Obesity Stage 1: BMI > 25 with mild-moderate complications
Obesity Stage 2: BMI> 25 with severe obesity related complications

27
Q

Treatment of choice for Binge Eating disorder and Bulima

A

CBT

28
Q

Stages of Change

A

Pre-contemplation (use motivational interviewing here)
Contemplation - use MI here

A

Short upper leg length can indicate risk for metabolic syndrome (more than BMI or waist circumference); it is more reliable
