weight gaining,
OBESITY
Obesity
in absolute terms is an increase of body fatty tissue mass. In a practical
setting it is difficult to measure this directly, and obesity is typically
measured by BMI (body mass index) and in terms of its distribution through
waist circumference or waist-hip circumference ratio measurements. In addition,
the presence of obesity needs to be evaluated in the context of other risk
factors and comorbidities (other medical conditions that could influence risk
of complications)
BMI
Body
mass index or BMI is a simple and widely used method for estimating body fat
mass. BMI was developed in the 19th century by the Belgian statistician and
anthropometrist Adolphe Quetelet. BMI is an accurate reflection of body fat
percentage in the majority of the adult population, but is less accurate in
situations that affect body composition such as in body builders and pregnancy.
BMI
is calculated by dividing the subject's weight by the square of his/her height,
typically expressed either in metric or US "Customary" units:
Metric: BMI = kg / m2
Where
kg is the subject's weight in kilograms and m is the subject's height in
metres.
US/Customary and imperial: BMI = lb * 703 / in2
Where
lb is the subject's weight in pounds and in is the subject's height in inches
The
most commonly used definitions, established by the WHO in 1997 and published in
2000, provide the following values:
- A BMI less than 18.5 is
underweight
- A BMI of 18.5–24.9 is normal
weight
- A BMI of 25.0–29.9 is
overweight
- A BMI of 30.0–34.9 is class I
obesity
- A BMI of 35.0-39.9 is class
II obesity
- A BMI of > 40.0 is class
III obesity or severe / morbidly obese
- A BMI of 35.0 or higher in
the presence of at least one other significant comorbidity is also classified
by some bodies as morbid obesity.
Causes
Most
researchers agree that a combination of excessive calorie consumption and a
sedentary lifestyle are the primary causes of obesity in the majority of the
population. Other less well established or minor influences include genetic
causes, medical and psychiatric illnesses, and microbiological causes.
A review identifies ten other possibly under investigated
causes for recently increasing rates of obesity:
(1)
Insufficient sleep
(2)
Endocrine disruptors - food substances that interfere with lipid metabolism,
(3)
decreased variability in ambient temperature,
(4)
decreased rates of smoking, which suppresses appetite,
(5)
increased use of medication that leads to weight gain,
(6)
Increased distribution of ethnic and age groups that tend to be heavier,
(7)
Pregnancy at a later age,
(8)
Intrauterine and intergenerational effects,
(9)
Positive natural selection of people with a higher BMI,
(10)
Assortative mating, heavier people tending to form relationships with each
other.
Dietary
Despite
the widespread availability of nutritional information in schools, doctors'
offices, on the internet and on product packaging, it is evident that
overeating remains a substantial problem. Most of these extra calories came
from an increase in carbohydrate consumption rather than an increase in fat
consumption.
Sedentary
lifestyle
An
increasingly sedentary lifestyle plays a significant role in obesity. There has
been a trend toward decreased physical activity due in part to increasingly
mechanized forms of work, changing modes of transportation, and increasing
urbanization. Studies in children and adults have found an association between
the number of hours of television watched and the prevalence of obesity. Driving
one's children to school also decreases the amount of exercise that these
children get and has led to calls for reduced car use around schools.
Genetics
Like
many other medical conditions, obesity is the result of interplay between
genetic and environmental factors. Polymorphisms in various genes controlling
appetite, metabolism, and adipokine release may predispose to obesity when
sufficient calories are present. Obesity is a major feature in a number of rare
genetic conditions: Prader-Willi syndrome, Bardet-Biedl syndrome, MOMO
syndrome, leptin receptor mutations, and melanocortin receptor mutations. In a
people with early-onset severe obesity (defined by an onset before ten years of
age and body mass index over three standard deviations above normal),
On
a population level, the thrifty gene hypothesis postulates that certain ethnic
groups may be more prone to obesity when exposed to an equivalent environment.
Their ability to take advantage of rare periods of abundance by storing energy
as fat would be advantageous during times of varying food availability.
Individuals with greater adipose reserves would be more likely survive famine.
This tendency to store fat however would be maladaptive in societies with
stable food supplies.
Medical
illness
Certain
physical and mental illnesses and the pharmaceutical substances used to treat
them can increase one's risk of obesity. Medical illnesses that increase
obesity risk include several rare genetic syndromes (listed above) as well as
some congenital or acquired conditions: (1) hypothyroidism, (2) Cushing's
syndrome, (3) growth hormone deficiency, and (4) eating disorders such bulimia
nervosa, binge eating disorder and compulsive overeating.
Certain
medications may cause weight gain and or negative changes in body composition,
such as steroids, atypical antipsychotics, some fertility medication, insulin
and sulfonylureas.
Microbiological
The
role of bacteria colonizing the digestive tract in the development of obesity
has recently become the subject of investigation. Bacteria participate in
digestion (especially of fatty acids and polysaccharides), and alterations in
the proportion of particular strains of bacteria may explain why certain people
are more prone to weight gain than others. Human digestive tract bacteria are
generally either member of the phyla of bacteroidetes or of firmicutes. In
obese people, there is a relative abundance of firmicutes (which cause
relatively high energy absorption), which is restored by weight loss. From
these results it cannot be concluded whether this imbalance is the cause or
effect of obesity.
Social
determinants
The
correlation between social class and BMI is inconsistent. Comparing net worth
with BMI found obese Americanians approximately half as wealthy as thin ones.
When income differentials were factored out, the inequity persisted. A tendency
to rely on fast food is seen as one of the reasons why this result occurred.
Another study found women who married into a higher social class are thinner
than women who married into a lower social class.

obesity, Regular intake of Homeopathy medicine helps to control and
