BMI is combined with what further assessments to arrive at a more accurate health risk | waist circumference, evaluations of diet, physical activity, family history, BP, physical inactivity |
components of metabolic syndrome | abdominal obesity (40in men, 35in women), serum triglycerides (>150), HDL cholesterol (<40 men, <50 women), hypertension (>130/85), insulin resistance/fasting blood glucose (>100) |

five steps to facilitate behavior change | identify behavior change goal, review when/how behaviors will be performed, have patient keep record of behavrior change, review progress at next treatment visit, congratulate patient on successes |
cardinal behaviors of successful long-term weight management | self monitoring, low cal/low fat, eat breakfast daily, regular physical activity |
points to assessing weight loss readiness | motivation (patient seeks wt reduction), stress level (free of major life crises), psychiatric issues (free of severe depression/substance abuse/bulimia), time (patient can devote 15-30 min/d to wt control for the next 26 weeks) |
what do you do if the overweight/obese patient is not ready to lose wt | prevent wt gain and explore barriers to wt reduction |
calories in a 12oz beer | 160 |
calories in a 5oz glass of wine | 100 |
calories in a 2oz shot of liquor | 128 |
recommended nutrient content of a weight reducing diet | 55% carbs, 15% protein, 30% fat (1-8% saturated, 15% monounsaturated, 10% polyunsaturated) |
medications that can cause weight gain | psychotropic meds, beta blockers, DM meds, HAART, tamoxifen, steroid hormones |
drugs currently approved by the FDA for treatment of obesity | orlistat, sibutramine, phentermine |
the most successful treatment for weight loss and maintenance | combined intervention of a calorie-deficit diet, increased physical activity, and behavioral treatment |
__ helps preserve fat free mass during weight loss | physical activity |
considerable __ is necessary for weight loss maintenance | physical activity |
with wt loss surgery max of wt loss is in the first __ | 18-24 months |
max amount of wt loss with surgery | 100-180 lbs |
Obesity Defn | high amt body fat in relation to lean body mass, or BMI ≥30 |
BMI defn | measure of wt relative to height: wt in kg div by the square of pt’s ht in meters |
Obesity trends in US | epidemic: 60M (doubled since 1980) |
Overweight: adult defn | An adult who has a BMI between 25 and 29.9 |
Obese: adult defn | An adult who has a BMI of 30 or higher |
Morbidly Obese: adult defn | Adult who has BMI of 40 or higher (w/o comorbids) or who has BMI of 35 or higher with co morbidities |
BMI Below 18.5 = | Underweight |
BMI 18.5 to 24.9 = | Healthy weight |
BMI 25.0 to 29.9 = | Overweight |
BMI 30 or higher = | Obese |
Considered an alternative to direct measures of body fat = | BMI |
How is BMI used? | Screening tool - not a diagnostic tool |
Risk for developing heart dz, etc, increases with waist measurement of: | > 40 inches (men) & > 35 inches (women) |
BMI: kids/teens: | age & sex-specific; calculated same as for adults |
BMI percentile = | Plotted on CDC BMI-for-age growth charts (for girls or boys) to obtain a percentile ranking |
BMI percentile growth charts show: | wt status categories used w/ kids & teens (underweight, healthy weight, at risk of overweight, and overweight) |
Underweight: percentile: | < 5th% |
Healthy weight; percentile: | 5th% to < 85th % |
*At risk of overweight: percentile: | 85th % to < 95th % |
*Overweight: percentile: | ≥ to 95th % |
Reasons that age and sex are considered for children and teens | Amt of body fat changes with age; amt of body fat differs between girls and boys |
Health consequences of overweight & obesity for adults | HTN; dyslipidemia; T2DM; Coronary heart dz; Thromboembolic events; Sleep apnea / resp problems; Gallbladder dz; Osteoarthritis |
Metabolic syndrome defn | Abd obesity (waist > 102 cm /40 in (M) & >88 cm / 35 inches (F); TG ≥ 150; HDL ≤ 40 (M) & ≤ 50 (F); BP ≥130/85; Fasting blood glucose ≥110 |
Psychosocial consequences of obesity | Negative attitudes; Stereotypes (lead to Stigma, Rejection, Prejudice, Discrimination); Verbal, physical & relational forms; Subtle and overt expressions |
Obesity & peer victimization | Vulnerability to bias increases with body wt; among the heaviest youth, 60% report victimization |
Personal consequences of obesity = | Psychological-low self esteem/ depression; Social (rejection); Economic (poor job satisfaction / reward); Medical (multiple co morbid conditions) |
Selection of obesity tx | Diet, Exercise, Behavior Tx at any obesity category; pharm tx (≥30; ≥27 w/comorbids) (never tx w/drugs alone); surgery (≥ 40; ≥35 w/comorbids) |
Should first try non-pharm interventions for obesity for how long? | At least 6 months |
Behavioral Treatment of Obesity (Outpatient) | structured, goal-oriented: realistic, ST goals; frequent pt visits to enhance compliance; LT contact: maintain motivation; ID office staff (weigh-ins & review self-monitoring); written education materials |
Responding to Nonadherence | Don’t take behavior personally; assume problem = lack of planning; Do not criticize pt; ID obstacles & how to handle them; acknowledge difficulty of behavior change; encourage; new plan, shorten interval required for success |
Effect of High-Protein, Low-Fat Diet on Body Wt: | Lose more wt than high-carb diet |
FDA approved drugs to tx obesity | Orlistat; Sibutramine, Phentermine (ST) |
Phentermine: AE | Amphetamine like response (irritability / tremulousness / increased HR); high BP; caution in pt w/ HTN & underlying heart dz |
Orlistat MOA | prevents fat digestion and absorption by binding to GI Lipases |
Guidelines for Increasing Physical Activity | Assessment (med / psych readiness; current activities, barriers to activity); physical activity plan; start activity slowly & gradually increase planned aerobic to 200 min/wk; enhance compliance |
Weight loss surgery: when: | BMI >40 or >35 with comorbids; if med tx has failed |
Weight loss surgery: maximum wt loss: | in first 18-24 months |
CDC definition of physical activity | Moderate intensity activity (increases HR) for >30 minutes for >5 days/week, or vigorous intensity for >20 min for >3 days/week |
