Wellness Conditions and Diagnoses Obesity Related Services Weight Management Center What is obesity? Obesity is defined as a generalized accumulation of body fat. Obesity is determined by measuring both the height and weight of the adolescent. An adolescent is considered obese if he/she is significantly over the ideal weight for his/her height. Overweight is defined as increased body size with increased lean body mass and without excess accumulation of body fat. A uniform standard to separate obesity from overweight has not been established. Research studies suggest that overweight adolescents may become overweight adults. What causes obesity? During the 1990s, one physiologist proposed a "set point theory" which has continued to gain support. The set point theory suggests that weight is determined by complex interactions of neural, hormonal, and metabolic factors. Genetic and familial influences contribute to metabolic rates and physical activity levels important to energy expenditure. Some effort is now being made to address two types of obesity: obesity with specific organic etiology (endogenous) obesity caused by simple excessive caloric intake, genetic/familial, psychogenic and mixed factors (exogenous)

Recommendations and Rationale Screening for Obesity in Adults U.S. Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) This statement summarizes the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) recommendations on screening for obesity in adults based on the USPSTF's examination of evidence specific to obesity and overweight in adults. It updates the 1996 recommendations contained in the Guide to Clinical Preventive Service , Second Edition Summary of Recommendations The USPSTF recommends that clinicians screen all adult patients for obesity and offer intensive counseling and behavioral interventions to promote sustained weight loss for obese adults. Rating: B Recommendation Rationale 30 kg/m ). Although the USPSTF did not find direct evidence that behavioral interventions lower mortality or morbidity from obesity, the USPSTF concluded that changes in intermediate outcomes, such as improved glucose metabolism, lipid levels, and blood pressure, from modest weight loss provide indirect evidence of health benefits. No evidence was found that addressed the harms of counseling and behavioral interventions. The USPSTF concluded that the benefits of screening and behavioral interventions outweigh potential harms. The USPSTF concludes that the evidence is insufficient to recommend for or against the use of moderate- or low-intensity counseling together with behavioral interventions to promote sustained weight loss in obese adults.

Commercial Alert's Childhood Obesity Prevention Agenda for States, Municipalities and School Boards American children are suffering from an epidemic of obesity. In spite of this, purveyors of junk food increasingly are able to use public schools as a platform for their marketing campaigns. In effect, the junk food lobby has latched onto the compulsory school laws as a way to corral a captive audience of impressionable children. Parents should guide the eating habits of their kids. Corporations have no business wedging into that relationship. Schools should support parents in this. We are what we eat, as the old saying goes; and in this the schools play an important part, for good or ill. Schools should encourage healthful eating habits and exercise. They should not become marketing zones and shopping centers in which junk food manufacturers get open access to impressionable children. WE CALL ON STATE AND LOCAL OFFICIALS TO PROTECT OUR CHILDREN BY PROHIBITING THE MARKETING AND SALE OF JUNK FOOD IN SCHOOLS. Schools should help parents promote good nutrition, rather than support junk food companies that promote products high in added sugar and fat.

Fat works against the action of insulin and extra body fat is thought to be a risk factor for diabetes. OBESOPHOBIA Obesophobia is the fear of gaining weight. OBJECT RELATIONS In psychoanalysis , object relations is the emotional relations between subject and object which, through a process of identification, are believed to constitute the developing ego. In this context, the word 'object' refers to any person or thing, or representational aspect of them, with which the subject forms an intense emotional relationship. Object relations were first described by German psychoanalyst Karl Abraham in an influential paper, published in 1924, in which he developed Freud' s ideas on infantile sexuality and the development of the libido. Object- relations theory has become one of the central themes of post-Freudian psychoanalysis, particularly through the writings of Melanie Klein, Scottish psychoanalyst Ronald Fairbairn, and Donald Winnicott, all deeply influenced by Abraham. They have each developed distinct, though complementary, approaches to analysis, evolving theories of personal development based on early parental attachments.

Supporting Research Obesity is defined as an excess of body fat. Being overweight is different from being obese. Overweight refers to excess body weight compared to normal standards. The excess weight may come from muscle, bone, fat, and/or body water. Obesity refers specifically to having an abnormally high proportion of body fat. Healthcare practitioners use a number of methods to determine if an individual is overweight or obese. Body mass index, or BMI, is the measurement used to assess whether a person is overweight or obese. BMI is calculated using a mathematical formula that takes into account both a person's height and weight. A person is considered overweight if they have a BMI of between 25 and 29.9. A BMI of more than 30 is generally considered a sign of moderate to severe obesity. Signs and Symptoms Most practitioners use the following BMI ranges as indications that a person is overweight or obese:

Home Classic texts Thomas The Eclectic Practice of Medicine by Rolla L. Thomas, M. S., M. D., 1907. Obesity. Synonyms Definition It is difficult to draw the line between the normal and abnormal amount of adipose tissue, though we may be safe in classifying an individual as obese whenever the fat becomes burdensome, and as soon as the function of any part becomes impaired thereby, it becomes a disease. Etiology Heredity Age Sex Race Disease Habit The existing causes of obesity are undoubtedly due to overeating and drinking, especially fat-producing foods, and the use of alcohol, beer, and sweet wines. While the carbohydrates and fats are more prone to produce obesity, even the albuminoids will give rise to the same condition when more is taken than is necessary for the daily waste. This is especially true when the patient leads an inactive life, since active muscular contractions lead to the decomposition of a large amount of fat. Strümpell says, in the daily ingestion of five or six glasses of beer, there is taken into the system, from this source alone, one-half the total amount of starch required by the system. The obesity of beer-drinkers is thus readily accounted for. Pathology .—The subcutaneous cellular tissue is the first to receive the fatty deposits and the "
