Obesity: Pathophysiology, And Risk Assessment
04/13/2023 2
• Obesity:• Excessive amount of body fat.– Women with > 35% body fat.– Men with > 25% body fat.
• Increased risk for health problems.• Are usually overweight, but can have healthy
Body Mass Index(BMI) and high % fat.• BMI =weight kilograms / height meters2
04/13/2023 3
• Desirable % Body Fat:• Men: 8-25%.• Women 20-35%.
04/13/2023 4
• Regional Distribution:• The regional distribution of body fat affects
risk factors for the heart disease and type 2 diabetes.
04/13/2023 5
• Body Fat Distribution: Gynoid• Lower-body obesity--Pear shape.• Encouraged by estrogen and progesterone.• Less health risk than upper-body obesity.• After menopause, upper-body obesity
appears.
04/13/2023 6
• Body Fat Distribution: Android• Upper-body obesity--apple shape.• Associated with more heart disease,
Hypertensiion(HTN), Type II Diabetes.• Abdominal fat is released right into the liver.• Encouraged by testosterone and excessive
alcohol intake.• Defined as waist measurement of > 40” for
men and >35” for women.

• Body Fat Distribution:

• Weight Management:• Balancing energy intake and
energy expenditure is the basis of weight management throughout life.
• Dieting and physical exercise.• Orlistat (Xenical) medication
to treat obesity.• In severe cases, bariatric
surgery is performed or an intragastric balloon is placed to reduce stomach volume.

Pathophysiology
04/13/2023 10
• Role of Brain Neurotransmitters:• Neurotransmitters govern the body’s response
to starvation and dietary intake.• Decreases in serotonin and increases in
neuropeptide Y are associated with an increase in carbohydrate appetite.
• Neuropeptide Y increases during deprivation; may account for increase in appetite after dieting.
04/13/2023 11
• Hormonal Regulation of Body Weight:• Norepinephrine and dopamine—released by
sympathetic nervous system in response to dietary intake.
• Fasting and semistarvation lead to decreased levels of these neurotransmitters—more epinephrine is made and substrate is mobilized.
04/13/2023 12
• Hormones And Weight:• Leptin is produced by adipose tissue to signal
fat storage reserves in the body, and mediates long-term appetitive controls (i.e. to eat more when fat storages are low and less when fat storages are high).
• Ghrelin produced by the stomach modulating short-term appetitive control (i.e. to eat when the stomach is empty and to stop when the stomach is stretched)

• Hunger vs. Satiety:• Satiety—postprandial state when excess food
is being stored.• Hunger—postabsorptive state when stores are
being mobilized.
04/13/2023 15
• Hunger vs. Satiety—contd:• Feedback mechanism with signal from adipose
mass when weight loss occurs—eating is the natural result.
• Not always identified in the elderly.• This occurs mostly in young people.

• Causes of Obesity:
04/13/2023 17
• Causes of Excessive Energy Intake:• Active: large portion sizes, frequent meals and
snacks.• Passive: excessive intake of energy-dense
foods containing hidden calories.• Variety of options: the greater the variety of
foods offered, the greater the intake.
04/13/2023 18
• Low Energy Expenditure:• Sedentary lifestyle.
04/13/2023 19
• Genetics:• Identical twins have similar weights.• Genes affect metabolic rate, fuel use, brain
chemistry, body shape.• The thrifty gene hypothesis postulates that
due to dietary scarcity during human evolution people are prone to obesity.
• Thrifty metabolism gene allows for more fat storage to protect against famine.
04/13/2023 20
Genetics:Obesity tends to run in families.• If both parents are normal weight – 10%
chance of obesity in offspring.• If one parent is obese – 40% chance.• If both parents obese – 80% chance.
04/13/2023 21
• Environmental factors influence weight:• Overeating learned early in childhood.• Urging children to eat more, clean their plates.• Use of food as a reward.
04/13/2023 22
• Medical and psychiatric illness:• Physical and mental illnesses and the
pharmaceutical substances.• Hypothyroidism, Cushing’s syndrome, growth
hormone deficiency, and the eating disorders: Binge eating disorder and Night eating syndrome.
• Insulin, sulfonylureas, thiazolidinediones, atypical antipsychotics, antidepressants, steroids, certain anticonvulsants (phenytoin and valproate), and some hormonal contraception.

• Obesity is a Growing Problem:• 127 million adults in the U.S. are overweight,
60 million obese, and 9 million severely obese. • 66 percent of U.S. adults are overweight
(BMI≥25).• 32 percent are obese (BMI≥30).• 17% of children and adolescents ages 2-19 are
overweight.

• Obesity: A Major Health Issue:• Obesity is the SECOND preventable cause of
death and disability (smoking is #1).• Obesity is associated with increased risk of
heart disease, stroke, gallbladder disease, cancer, osteoarthritis, sleep apnea.
• Obesity-related health problems cost $75 billion annually (2003 data).
• The public pays about $39 billion a year -- or about $175 per person -- for obesity through Medicare and Medicaid programs.
04/13/2023 25
• Health Problems Associated with Excess Body Fat:• Surgical risk• Lung (pulmonary)
disease• Sleep apnea• HTN• CVD• Bone and joint
disorders (gout, osteoarthritis)
• Type 2 diabetes• Gallstones• Cancers (breast,
colon, pancreas, gallbladder)
• Infertility• Pregnancy-
difficult delivery• Reduced agility• Early death

• Metabolic Syndrome Criteria*:Three or more of the following abnormalities: • Waist circumference >102 cm (40 inches) in
men and > 88 cm (35 inches) in women.• Serum triglycerides of at least 150 mg/dL.• High density lipoprotein level <40 mg/dL in
men and <50 mg/dl in women.• Blood pressure >=135/85 mm hg.• Serum glucose >=110 mg/dl.–*Adult Treatment Panel (ATP) III Guidelines.
National Cholesterol Education Program, 2001.

• Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS):• Endocrine disorder characterized by
hyperandrogenism and insulin resistance.• Associated with android obesity.• Affects 5-10% of reproductive age women.• Erratic menstrual periods, chronic
anovulations resulting in multiple ovarian cysts; infertility, acne, hirsutism and alopecia.
• Increased risk of heart disease, type 2 diabetes, reproductive cancers.
04/13/2023 28
• Management of PCOS:• Symptom oriented, as etiology is unclear.• Individualized diet and exercise plan to
promote weight loss and normalize insulin levels.
• Medications to alleviate symptoms.
04/13/2023 29
• BMI and Health:
Below 18.5 Underweight
18.5 – 24.9 Normal
25.0 – 29.9 OverweightMonitor for risk
30.0 and Above ObeseIncreased health risk
40.0 and above Severely obeseMajor health risk
