DEFINITION OF OBESITY
• A condition of abnormal or excessive fat accumulation in adipose tissue, to the extent that health may be impaired.
• Underlying disorder is an undesirable positive energy balance and weight gain.
• Chronic excessive nutrient intake relative to energy expenditure
↑ 2% in energy balance = 2.3 kg weight gain in a year

ETIOLOGY OF OBESITY
1. Genetic factors
a) Sex
b) Case of identical twins and kids of obese parents
c) Genetic syndromes (Prader-Willi, Laurence-Moon-Biedl, Ahlstrom's, Cohen's, Carpenter's )
d) ob gene (leptin) and db gene (leptin receptor)
2. Environmental factors
a) Metabolic imbalances (hypothyroidism, Cushing’s disease)
b) Socio-cultural and economic factors
c) Physical inactivity
d) Sleep deprivation
e) Obesigenic viral infections?

PATHOPHYSIOLOGY OF OBESITY
CONCEPT 1: ENERGY IMBALANCE
When energy intake exceeds energy expenditure,
• Excess energy is stored in the fat cells of adipose tissue.
Obese people have LARGER as well as MORE fat cells than healthy-weight people.
When energy expenditure exceeds energy intake,
• The size of fat cells decreases, but number remains constant.

PATHOPHYSIOLOGY OF OBESITY
CONCEPT 2: HORMONAL AND SEX DIFFERENCES
The enzyme lipoprotein lipase promotes fat storage and its activity is partially regulated by gender-specific hormones.
• In women, fat cells in the breasts, hips, and thighs produce abundant LPL, while in men, fat cells in the abdomen produce abundant LPL.
• The release of lower body fat is less active in women than in men. Also, the rate of fat breakdown is lower in women than in men.
Consequently, WOMEN have a more difficult time losing fat in general, and from the hips and thighs in particular.

PATHOPHYSIOLOGY OF OBESITY
CONCEPT 3: SET POINT THEORY
Obese people have more LPL activity in their fat cells than lean people, so even modest excess in energy intake have a more dramatic impact on them.
• After weight loss, LPL activity increases, most dramatically in people who were fattest prior to weight loss.
• This provides an explanation for the observation that some inner mechanism seems to set a person's weight or body composition at a fixed point;
The body will adjust to restore the weight set point even if the person tries to change it.

• Abdominal obesity is associated with an increased risk of CVD and type 2 DM risk while gynoid obesity is seldom associated with metabolic complications.
• Even within the normal range of BMI, accumulation of visceral fat remains an independent CVD risk factor.

• A strong relationship exists between intra-abdominal fat accumulation and insulin resistance.
a) Lipo-toxicity theory
- visceral fat cells are lipolytically active (β3-adrenergic receptors)
- Try64Arg allele polymorphism of the β3-adrenergic receptor gene
b) Cytokine theory
visceral adipose tissue produce pro-inflammatory cytokines (TNF-α, IL-6) which induce insulin resistance.

• Large hip circumference has been found to be an independent predictor of lower cardiovascular and diabetes-related mortality.
• The protective effect of a large hip circumference may be due to the low fatty acid turnover of gluteo-femoral adipose tissue.
• Peripheral fat mass has also shown an independent negative correlation with insulin sensitivity and atherogenicity.

1. BODY MASS INDEX (BMI)
Weight/square of height (Unit is kg/m2)
• Does not differentiate between fat and muscle• Underestimates body fat• Does not give estimate of body fat distribution
• Indians have more abdominal adiposity compared to Caucasians at similar or even lower BMI.
• Indians have HIGHER pre-disposition to insulin resistance at lower BMI.
• 66% men and 88% women with BMI less than 25 had at least one cardiovascular risk factor.

CHILDHOOD OBESITY
• The National Centre for Health Statistics/CDC charts 2001
85th percentile of BMI for age and sex as a reference point for overweight and the 95th percentile for obesity
These cut-off points correspond to 23 and 25 BMI respectively at age 18 years.
• The IOTF Charts (new international standards)
Age- and sex-specific BMI cut-off points for overweight and obesity in children have been derived by identifying percentiles in children analogous to adult BMIs of 25 and 30, respectively.
Developed by Cole et al (UK, Netherlands, Singapore, Hong Kong, USA, Brazil) in 1999. NIN/ICMR Dietary Guidelines, 2011.

2. The High Burden of Obesity and Abdominal Obesity in Urban Indian Schoolchildren: A Multicentric Study of 38,296 Children
Anoop Misra et alAnn Nutr Metab 2011;58:203-211
• The mean age was 13.3 years and mean BMI was 18.3.• The prevalence of overweight and obesity in children, respectively, was
14.4 and 2.8% by IOTF cut-offs, and 14.5 and 4.8% by CDC cut-offs.• The overall prevalence of abdominal obesity in urban was 4.5%.• The prevalence of overweight and abdominal obesity was significantly
higher in females than males (p < 0.001).• High socioeconomic status and residing in cities with a population
greater than 4 million were independently associated with overweight and abdominal obesity (p < 0.001).

International Journal of Obesity (2008) ,32, 1431-1437
Pooling analysis of databases from 106 countries (88% population).
Sex- and age-specific prevalence of overweight and obesity were applied to the 2005 population to estimate the numbers of overweight and obese individuals, with and without adjusting for secular trends, to forecast the number of overweight and obese individuals in 2030.

Results:
23.2% of the world’s adult population in 2005 was overweight (24.0% men and 22.4% women), and 9.8% was obese (7.7% men and 11.9% women).
The estimated total numbers of overweight and obese adults in 2005 were 937 million and 396 million, respectively.
By 2030, the respective number of overweight and obese adults was projected to be 1.35 billion and 573 million individuals respectively without adjusting for secular trends.
When recent secular trends were applied, the absolute numbers were projected to total 2.16 billion overweight and 1.12 billion obese individuals.

Dietary Guidelines for Indians: A ManualNIN along with ICMR, 2011
Guidelines for obesity management
• Weight reduction diets should contain at least 1000 Kcal/day and provide all nutrient requirements, except energy.
• Loss of half a kg/week is generally considered safe.
• In children, obesity should be controlled by increasing physical activity rather than restricting food intake.
• Modifications in dietary habits have to be incorporated into one's lifestyle along with adequate exercise to keep the body weight within the normal limits.
12-04-2012
81
• As fat contains more than twice the calories (9 kcal) per gram of either protein (4 kcal) or carbohydrate (4 kcal), weight reducing diets should limit the fat intake.
• Refined sugars and alcohol provide empty calories (7 kcal) and should be avoided.
• Plant foods that provide complex carbohydrates and fibre may be preferred as they reduce blood glucose, cholesterol and triglycerides.
• Weight reducing diets must be rich in proteins and low in carbohydrates and fats.
• Consumption of plenty of fruits and vegetables would not only result in satiety but could also help to maintain adequate micronutrient intake.

Aerobic Activities
These speed your heart rate and breathing while improving heart and lung fitness. Examples: brisk walking, jogging and swimming.
Resistance, Strength Building, and Weight-Bearing Activities
These help build and maintain bones and muscles by working them against gravity. Lifting weights, carrying a child, and walking are a few examples.
Balance and Stretching Activities
Dancing, gentle stretching, yoga, martial arts, and tai chi reduce risk of injuries by improving physical stability and flexibility.

INTERNATIONAL ASSOCIATION FOR STUDY OF OBESITY
• While the earliest identified discussions on the need for an organization addressing obesity took place in Great Britain as early as 1961, it was not until 1966 that a steering committee was formed.
• The first meeting of the "Obesity Association" was held in London in 1967.
• In the 1970s, Philip James and John Waterlow prepared an analysis of obesity-related research needs for the Department of Health and the UK Medical Research Council, enticing medical establishments to start funding obesity research.

• This era also witnessed the development of the first obesity treatment drug, Fenfluramine.
• Around the same time, the first Fogarty Centre International Conference on Obesity was organized by a committee led by Dr George Bray, and was held in October 1973 at NIH in Bethesda, Maryland, USA.
• As a result of such efforts, the 1st International Congress on Obesity (ICO) was held at the Royal College of Physicians in London in October 1974, with over 500 attendees from 30 countries.

• In 1980, at the meeting of the Nutrition Committee of the American Heart Association, Dr John Brunzell and Dr George Bray discussed the lack of an organized American group with an obesity focus.
• Shortly afterwards, American scientists interested in obesity were invited to convene and the North American Association for the Study of Obesity (NAASO) was born.
• At the 4th ICO in New York, the benefits of organising an international group of obesity scientists, later to be identified as International Association for Study of Obesity, were discussed and the IASO came into being in 1985.

• During the 1990s, obesity meetings were occurring throughout Europe on an annual basis, and IASO nurtured the establishment of newer regional associations.
• The number of publications dedicated to obesity grew with the founding of "Obesity Research" by NAASO in 1993, and IASO’s addition of a new review journal entitled "Obesity Reviews" in 1998.
• The other significant development was the formation by Philip James in 1995 of the International Obesity Task Force (IOTF).
12-04-2012
102
• The IOTF was formed to alert the world to the growing health crisis of obesity. Comprised of leaders in the academic obesity community worldwide, the IOTF prepared the first scientific research report on the global epidemic of obesity, which served as the basis for the first WHO expert consultation on obesity held in Geneva in 1997.
• In August 2002, IASO and IOTF merged to become a single entity capable of confronting the challenges posed by the global obesity epidemic in the 21st century.
• The new IASO became a registered NGO in the WHO system when the IOTF’s work with the WHO was formalised.

103
• A major educational programme was launched in 2003 by IOTF: SCOPE (Specialist Certification of Obesity Professionals in Education) aimed to recognise obesity specialists and enhance the quality of obesity education for medical professionals in Europe. The ‘E’ in SCOPE initially stood for Europe, but it was soon realised that the need for education extended far beyond that region alone.

Triceps• Measured on the posterior aspect of the right arm, over the triceps muscle,
midway between the lateral projection of the acromion process of the scapula and the inferior margin of the olecranon process of the ulna.(1)
• The postero-lateral border of the left acromion is identified by palpation and the upper end of a cloth measuring-tape is placed against this border and the tape run down to touch the upper border of the olecranon. The distance between these two points is read to the nearest 1 mm and an ink mark is placed mid-way between them (standard mid-point). A skinfold is pulled out in the vertical plane approximately 1 inch above the standard mid-point with the left thumb and forefinger. Holding the callipers horizontally in the right hand, the jaws are applied so that the ink mark is in the centre of the jaws.(2)
