                                 Degree of
Body mass index (BMI)             overweight/obesity-measures
                                  body fat and muscle mass

Waist hip ratio (WHR)            Abdominal fat in relation to
                                  body size

Sagittal abdominal diameter      Fat in the abdomen



Waist measurement                Fat in and around the
                                  abdomen
       WHO’s Definition of Obesity
   BMI (body mass index)
   Weight (kg) is divided by
    height (m2 )
   E.g. Individual which weighs 90 kg and is 170 cm tall:

               90 kg
                            =       BMI 31
          1.70 m x 1.70 m



    kg = 2.2 pounds
    m = 3.3 feet
WHO’s Definition of Obesity (BMI)
   Normal weight          18.5- 24.9

   Overweight             25-29.9

   Obesity Grade I        30-34.9

   Obesity Grade II       35-39.4

Ghrelin
                          Ghrelin
   Recently discovered
   Secreted primarily by the stomach
   Interacts with neurons in the hypothalamus
   Powerfully increases short term food intake
   May decrease energy expenditure and fat catabolism
   Also increases body weight by other mechanisms than
    stimulating appetite
         Hormonal Effects of Leptins
   Inhibits the secretion of:
       Cortisol
       Aldosterone
       DHEA
       Reduce the secretion of catecholamines (adrenalin
        and noradrenalin)
                      Obesity
   Both leptins and insulin are increased in obese
    individuals, but the cells are resistant to it
    Fat Tissue (more than just a filler)

   Metabolic organ

   Hormonal organ

   Immune organ
     Fat Tissue as a Metabolic Organ
   Secretes substances called adipocytokines

    immunological consequences

       Effects of the Adipocytokines
   IL-6:         Insulin resistance,
                   pro-inflammatory cytokine
   TNFα:         Increased in obesity,
                  modulates insulin sensitivity
   Adiponectin: Important insulin sensitizer
   Leptin:       Major (down) regulator of food intake

gives rise to tissue destruction and eventually

    Fat Tissue

Causes edema and high
   blood pressure
    Fat Tissue as an Endocrine Organ
   Fat tissue increases the secretion of aldosterone
    from the adrenal gland
   Aldosterone (minerallocorticoid) causes water
    retention and hypertension
   Cortisol causes insulin resistance
   Growth Hormone and Insulin growth factor-
    1(IGF-1)
       Fat Tissue

Gives rise to atherosclerosis and
free radical formation, and also
          hypertension
       Fat Tissue as a Promoter of Free
         Radicals and Hypertension

   Nitric oxide (NO) binds with the hydroxyradical
    (OH) to form the highly dangerous free radical,
    peroxynitrite.

   NO is needed for vasodilatation (action on
    smooth muscle). If it is decreased (obesity and
    diabetics), hypertension ensues.
Metabolic Syndrome

  20-25% of US adults have it
    Metabolic Syndrome: Risk Factors
   Central obesity
   Atherogenic dyslipidemia (high triglycerides and
    low HDL)
   Raised blood pressure
   Insulin resistance or glucose intolerance
   Prothrombotic state
   Pro-inflammatory state (elevated C-reactive
    protein)
Metabolic Syndrome: Diagnosis ATP III
               Criteria
   Abdominal obesity
       men                 >102 cm (40 in)
       women               >88 cm (35 in)
   Triglyceride            > 150 mg/dL (1.7 mmol/L)
   HDL cholesterol
       men                 <40 mg/dL (1.0 mmol/L)
       women               <50 mg/dL (1.3 mmol/L)
   Blood pressure          >130/>85 mm Hg
   Fasting glucose         >110 mg/dL (6.1 mmol/L)

Diagnosis of metabolic syndrome is made when 3
or more of the above risk determinants are present
STEATOTIC HEPATITIS (NASH)
                      Diabetes
   Two types
     Type 1
        Results from an absolute deficiency of
         insulin
        Autoimmune destruction of the β-cells of
         the pancreas
        Genetically predisposed individuals (HLA-
         type)
        Initiated by a trigger (virus, chemical, etc.)
           Diabetes

Type II

  Much more prevalent, also now in
   children (MODY= mature onset
   diabetes of the young)
  Results from inadequate insulin
   response to demand
  Due to insulin resistance and later
   inadequate insulin
                  Diabetes: Diagnosis
   Fasting blood sugar (FBG) test is the preferred
    method
     Fasting overnight (at least 8 hrs)
     FBG of 100 mg/dL (5.5 mmol/L) is normal
     IFG (Impaired fasting blood glucose)
            110-126 mg/dL (6.1 – 7.0 mmol/L)
       Diabetes
            > 126 mg/dL (7.0 mmol/L) on two occasions = Diabetes
       Random samples may be used if symptoms are
        present
            200 mg/dL (11.1 mmol/L) = Diabetes
    Symptoms of Developed Diabetes
   Polyuria (excessive urination)
   Polydipsia (excessive thirst)
   Weight loss
   Blurred vision
   Impairment of growth
   Keto-acidosis
    Long-Term Complications of Diabetes
                Include:
   Increase in atherosclerotic cardiovascular peripheral
    vascular and cerebrovascular disease
   Peripheral neuropathy with the risk of foot ulcers and
    amputation
   Retinopathy with potential loss of vision
   Nephropathy leading to renal failure
   Autonomic neuropathy causing gastrointestinal,
    genitourinary, cardiovascular symptoms and sexual
    dysfunction
   Hypertension, Dyslipidaemia and Periodontal disease
    Advanced Glycosylation End Products
                  (AGE)
   AGE’s are immunogenic
    (stimulate the inflammatory response)
   Diabetics have an increase in IL-6, TNFα, and
    free radicals, such as peroxynitrite (from NO
    and OH)
   Diabetics have less TGFβ, thus tissue repair is
    decreased and inflammation is increased

Osteopenia
                   Osteopenia
   Osteoporosis
   Osteomalacia
   Primary hyperparathyroidism
   Malignant disease
    WHO’s Definition of Osteoporosis

   Metabolic bone disease in which there is both a
    decrease of normally mineralized bone and the
    disturbance in bone micro-architecture

   Risk of fractures even in the absence of trauma
           Diagnosis of Osteoporosis

      X-Ray no good
      Scans
        DEXA (dual energy X-Ray absorptiometry)
        CT scans

        Ultra sound at the heel

        Normally uses a T-score
              T score = BMD-YN
                    SD
BMD= Bone mineral density, YN =Young normal, SD= standard deviation
     WHO’s Criteria for Osteoporosis
   Normal                   BMD> -1.0 below the
                              young adult range
   Low bone mass            BMD - 1 to -2.5 below


   Osteoporosis             BMD < -2.5 below


   Severe osteoporosis      BMD < -2.5 range and
                              the patient has one or
                              more fractures
       Risk Factors for Osteoporosis
   Female, especially postmenopausal
   Race/Ethnicity Rare in African Americans and Mexican
    Americans common in Caucasians and Asians
   Diet: high protein diet increases risk
   Smoking
   Alcohol
   Inactivity
   Leanness
   Coffee ingestion
   Diseases associated with secondary osteoporosis
      Cushing’s syndrome, Thyroid hormone suppressive
       therapy, previous gastric surgery

         Treatment of Osteoporosis
   Diet low in protein

   No coffee
                       Adjuvant
