Currently, two-thirds of adults and one-half of children and adolescents in the United States meet criteria for overweight or obese weight status (Wang & Beydoun, 2007). While weight loss often is desired among these individuals, few achieve sustained weight loss maintenance. A model of motivation, affect, and long-term weight loss maintenance is proposed, based on Carver's model of behavior change (2004b) and related research. This investigation evaluated the model's proposed associations between approach and avoidance motivation, depressive and anxious affect, and caloric consumption within the context of a dietary lapse condition in the laboratory. Findings did not support the hypotheses that avoidance motivation would be negatively related to calorie consumption or that approach motivation would be positively associated with calorie consumption. Conversely, higher avoidance motivation was found to predict higher caloric consumption. Finally, this relationship was not mediated by depressive or anxious affect. Instead, consumption of high calorie foods alone was shown to fully mediate this relationship. Recommendations for future research are presented in the context of these findings.

Resumo: Uma saúde bucal precária, representada pela perda dentária parcial ou total, provoca significativas mudanças na seleção do alimento a ser consumido pelos idosos. Tal escolha acarreta a exclusão de certos alimentos, geralmente os de alto valor nutricional como frutas e vegetais, e, em alguns casos, a substituição destes por outros de alto valor calórico e de fácil mastigação pode levar os indivíduos a baixo peso ou a sobrepeso/obesidade. Pode-se observar na literatura uma associação entre saúde bucal precária e má nutrição, porém a importância da atividade física como confundidor nessa relação, até o presente momento é desconhecida. Assim, o objetivo deste estudo transversal é avaliar se o estado de saúde bucal precário é indicador de risco à baixo peso ou sobrepeso/obesidade medido por meio do Índice de Massa Corporal (IMC) nos idosos de Campinas, SP, considerando a prática de atividade física, dentre outras variáveis. Para este estudo foram utilizados dados coletados por um projeto maior da Rede FIBRA, que estuda fragilidade em idosos independentes. A amostra foi composta por 900 idosos e as medidas utilizadas neste estudo transversal incluíram um questionário com informações sociodemográficas, auto-relato de uso de medicação, hábito de tabagismo, auto-relato da presença de dificuldades na alimentação, sintomas depressivos, atividade física, condição bucal (número de dentes e presença de prótese dentária) e perfil antropométrico seguindo os critérios da OPAS, disponível para 875 idosos. A idade média dos idosos foi de 72.7 anos (±5.81), a mediana da escolaridade foi de 4 anos, a prevalência de edentulismo na amostra foi de 47.7% e a média de dentes presentes de 7.21 (±9.13). Ser edêntulo sem prótese apresentou maior chance para baixo peso (OR=3.94, 95%IC 1.14-13.64) e sobrepeso/obesidade (OR=2.88, 95%IC 1.12- 7.40). Gênero feminino (OR=1.78, 95%CI 1.17-2.71) e uso de três ou mais medicações (OR=2.41, 95%CI 1.41-4.12) apresentaram maior chance de obesidade. Idosos que fumam (OR=2.62, 95%CI 1.26-5.44) apresentaram maior chance de baixo peso e os com renda familiar entre 3.1 a 5 salários mínimos em reais (OR=1.69, 95%CI 1.00- 2.87) apresentaram maior chance de obesidade. Este é um dos primeiros trabalhos que verificaram a associação entre saúde bucal precária, representada por edentulismo sem reabilitação dentária protética, e índice de massa corporal desfavorável, independentemente de dois confundidores, atividade física e depressão. Portanto, a manutenção de uma dentição natural e a presença de reabilitação com prótese dentária, quando necessária, podem contribuir para um estado nutricional satisfatório em idosos, com valores de IMC dentro do padrão eutrófico
Abstract: A poor oral health status, represented by partial or complete tooth loss, imposes important modifications in food choice by the elderly. It promotes the avoidance of hard to chew food, usually fruits and vegetables rich in nutrients, and eventually the selection of food with inadequate energy value and easy to chew, inducing them to underweight or overweight/obesity. The literature has shown an association between poor oral health and poor nutrition, although their relationship with important confounders, mainly physical activity is still unknown The aim of this cross-sectional study is to evaluate whether poor oral health status might be a contributing factor to underweight or obesity assessed with the body mass index (BMI) in older adults, adjusting for physical activity and other variables in Campinas, Brazil. It was used data collected in a major project - the FIBRA study, about frailty among independent-living older adults. Complete data that included a sociodemographic data, self-reported intake of medications, smoking habit, self-reported eating difficulties questionnaire, depressive symptoms assessment, physical activity assessment, oral status (number of teeth and presence of dental prosthesis) and anthropometric assessments following the WHO criteria was available for 875 persons. The mean age of the sample was 72.7 years (±5.81), the median schooling was 4.0 years, the prevalence of the edentulism in the sample was 47.7% and the mean of present teeth was 7.21 (±9.13). The mean age of the sample was 72.7 years (±5.81) and the prevalence of edentulism was 47.7%. Edentate individuals not wearing dentures were more likely to be underweight (OR=3.94, 95%CI 1.14-13.64) and overweight/obese (OR=2.88, 95%CI 1.12-7.40). Females (OR=1.78, 95%CI 1.17-2.71) and those using 3 or more medications (OR=2.41, 95%CI 1.41-4.12) were more likely to be overweight/obese. Individuals who smoke (OR=2.62, 95%CI 1.26-5.44) were more likely to be underweight. Older individuals with family income between 3.1 and 5 Minimum Wage (OR=1.69, 95%CI 1.00-2.87) were more likely to be overweight/obese. To our knowledge, this is one of the first studies that associated poor oral health, represented by edentulism not rehabilitated with dentures, with unfavorable body mass, regardless of two major confounders, physical activity and depression symptoms. Thus, the maintenance of a natural dentition and the presence of dental prosthesis rehabilitation, when necessary, can contribute to a satisfactory nutritional status into old age and to an eutrophic BMI value

Full textMetformin has been widly used in treatment of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) but only few studies compare metformin with diet and exercises. The aim of this study is to compare clinical and laboratorial parameters of women with PCOS using metformin or under diet and exercises. Methods: Thirty women with PCOS were evaluated with ages between 18- 34 years old, who were divided in two groups: group A- treatment with metformin 1.800mg/day and group B- hypocaloric diet and exercises. Clinical and laboratorial evaluations were done before treatment and each three months during a period of six months. RESULTS: There were no significant differences between treatments for menstrual disturbances (p=0,711), acne (p=0,271), hirsutism (p=0,146) and body mass index (BMI), p=0,328; in laboratorial parameters there were no significant differences for LH (p=0,147); FSH (p=0,891), total testosterone (p=0,226), free testosterone (p=0,455), androstenedione (p=0,066), 17alfa-hidroxiprogesterone (p=0,914), SHBG (p=0,791), total cholesterol (p=0,692) and fractions and indexes for evaluation of insulin resitence HOMA-IR (p=0,111) and glycemia and insulin ratio (p=0,976). Both treatments improved menstrual disturbances (76%) and BMI (p<0,001). The abdominal circunference decreasing was greater in group B (p<0,006). CONCLUSIONS: Comparing both treatments there were no differences in clinical and laboratorial parameters evaluated. Both were efficient in improving body mass index and menstrual disturbances.

ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Genetic screening to improve obesity treatment outcomes is available despite the lack of conclusive evidence, specifically for Caucasian South Africans, in this regard. The aim of this study was to investigate the association between genotype (seven polymorphisms) and body mass index (BMI), health and lifestyle indicators in a cross-sectional sample of overweight/obese Caucasian adults (n=133), as well as the association between genotype and weight loss outcomes following an intervention (n=88) using a quasi experimental study design (time-series). The intervention consisted of a 24-week conservative weight loss programme that included dietary, physical activity and behavioural components. The primary null hypothesis for the cross-sectional sample, namely that there is no association between genotype and BMI, has not been rejected. A number of the secondary/exploratory hypotheses were rejected of which the most plausible associations (based on support by the literature and a physiological basis for the findng) are: 1) the mutant TT homozygotes of the GNB3 C825T polymorphism may have a higher risk to develop the metabolic syndrome (MetS) as they had significantly higher fasting triglyceride and glucose levels, a higher number of traits that met the diagnostic cut-off criteria for MetS and higher number of these subjects was diagnosed with MetS compared to the wild-type C-allele carriers; and 2) subjects with mutant alleles of either the FTO rs1421085 or rs17817449 polymorphisms may have poorer eating behaviours (a higher rigid control, habitual and emotional disinhibition, perceived hunger and internal locus for hunger) and higher intake of high-fat foods. The primary null hypothesis for the intervention sample, namely that there is no association between genotype and weight loss outcome, was not rejected for the FABP2 Ala54Thr, INSIG2 rs7566605, FTO rs1421085, ADRB3 Trp64Arg and GNB3 C825T polymorphisms. However, it was rejected in some instances indicating the following associations: 1) The wild-type TT homozygotes of the FTO rs17817449 polymorphism lost significantly more weight during the first two months of the program compared to the mutant allele carriers (this is a novel finding); 2) The wild-type Arg16Arg homozygotes of the ADRB2 Arg16Gly polymorphism lost significantly more weight during the first month of the program compared to the mutant allele carriers (this finding is supported by one other intervention study); 3) Subjects with a mutant C-allele of the INSIG2 rs7566605 polymorphism and a mutant Gly16-allele of the ADRB2 Arg16Gly polymorphism lost significantly less weight over the six month intervention period (this is a novel genegene interaction finding). A number of secondary/exploratory hypotheses were rejected, of which the most plausible finding include that the improvement in emotional disinhibition in the wild-type TT subjects of the FTO rs1421085 polymorphism was associated with a more pronounced decrease in BMI over the six month weight loss period. The integration of the results from this study with the literature indicates that there is insufficient evidence at this stage for genetic screening of the polymorphisms investigated in this study and the provision of evidence-based personalized recommendations for weight loss in obese individuals. It is recommended that these associations should be viewed as priority in future research.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Genetiese sifting om die resultate van vetsug behandeling te verbeter is beskikbaar ten spyte van ‘n tekort aan genoegsame bewyse, spesifiek ten opsigte van Kaukasiërs van Suid-Afrika. Die doel van hierdie studie was om die assosiasie tussen genotipe (sewe polimorfismes) en liggaamsmassa indeks (LMI), gesondheid en lewenstyl indikatore in ‘n dwarssnit (cross-sectional) steekproef van oorgewig/vetsugtige Kaukasiër volwassenes (n=133) te ondersoek, asook die assosiasie tussen genotipe en gewigsverlies uitkomste na afloop van ‘n intervensie (n=88) in ‘n kwasi-eksperimentele studie ontwerp (tydreeks). Die intervensie het bestaan uit ‘n 24-week konserwatiewe gewigsverlies program met dieet, fisieke aktiwiteit en gedragskomponente. Die primêre nul hipotese vir die dwarsnit steekproef, naamlik dat daar geen assosiasie tussen genotipe en LMI is nie, is nie verwerp nie. ‘n Aantal sekondêre/spekulatiewe hipotesis is verwerp waarvan die mees geloofwaardige assosiasies (gebasseer op ondersteuning van die literatuur en ‘n fisiologiese basis vir die bevinding) die volgende insluit: 1) die mutante TT homosigote van die GNB3 C825T polimorfisme het moontlik ‘n hoër risiko vir die ontwikkeling van die metaboliese sindroom (MetS) aangesien hulle betekenisvolle hoër vastende trigliseriede en glukose vlakke gehad het, ‘n grooter aantal kenmerke gehad het wat aan die diagnostiese afsnykriteria vir MetS voldoen en ‘n grooter aantal van hierdie persone was met MetS gediagnoseer in vergelyking met die wilde-tipe C-alleel draers; en 2) persone met die mutante allele van die FTO rs1421085 of rs17817449 polimorfismes het moontlik ‘n swakker eetgedrag (‘n hoër rigiede kontrole, gewoonte en emosionele disinhibisie, waarneembare honger en interne lokus van honger) en ‘n hoër inname van hoë-vet voedsel. Die primêre nul hipotese vir die intervensie steekproef, naamlik dat daar geen assosiasie tussen genotipe en gewigsverlies uitkomste is nie, is nie vir die FABP2 Ala54Thr, INSIG2 rs7566605, FTO rs1421085, ADRB3 Trp64Arg en GNB3 C825T polimorfismes verwerp nie. Dit was egter in sommige gevalle vir die volgende assosiasies verwerp: 1) Die wilde-tipe TT homosigote van die FTO rs17817449 polimorfisme het betekenisvol meer gewig in die eerste twee maande van die program verloor in vergelyking met die mutante alleel draers (dit is ‘n nuwe bevinding); 2) Die wilde-tipe Arg16Arg homosigote van die ADRB2 Arg16Gly polimorfisme het betekenisvol meer gewig gedurende die eerste maand van die program verloor in vergelyking met die mutante alleel draers (hierdie bevinding word ondersteun deur een ander intervensie studie); 3) Persone met ‘n mutante C-alleel van die INSIG2 rs7566605 polimorfisme en ‘n mutante Gly16-allele van die ADRB2 Arg16Gly polimorfisme het minder gewig tydens die ses maande intervensie periode verloor (dit is ‘n nuwe geen-geen interaksie bevinding). ‘n Aantal sekondêre/ spekulatiewe hipoteses is verwerp, waarvan die mees geloofwaardigste bevinding insluit dat ‘n verbetering in emosionele disinhibisie van die wild-tipe TT persone van die FTO rs1421085 polimorfisme geassosieer was met ‘n meer prominente daling in LMI oor die ses maande gewigsverlies periode. Die integrasie van die resultate van hierdie navorsing met die literatuur dui aan dat daar op hierdie stadium onvoldoende bewyse vir genetiese sifting en die voorsiening van bewys-gebasseerde persoonlike aanbevelings vir gewigsverlies in vetsugtig individue bestaan vir die polimorfismes wat ondersoek is. Dit word aanbeveel dat hierdie assosiasies as prioriteit in toekomstige navorsing beskou moet word.

Full textA incidência de doenças secundárias à obesidade é maior em obesos mórbidos, o que implica em grandes riscos à saúde. A cirurgia bariátrica constitui-se em opção de tratamento da obesidade severa com índice de sucesso consistente, especialmente para aqueles em que a intervenção clínica não alcançou resultados positivos. Este estudo discute a problemática e a magnitude da obesidade em adultos, com revisão da literatura, enfatizando critérios diagnósticos, dados epidemiológicos - especialmente em mulheres obesas - etiologia, comorbidezes e tratamento. Evidencia a complexidade do tratamento cirúrgico, as técnicas de cirurgia, critérios de indicação e contra-indicação, benefícios, complicações e deficiências nutricionais. Por fim, analisa e discute o impacto sobre o perfil metabólico e antropométrico de mulheres inseridas no Programa de Cirurgia Bariátrica do Hospital Universitário Profº Alberto Antunes da Universidade Federal de Alagoas, submetidas à cirurgia de Capella. Trata-se de um estudo prospectivo com cento e trinta e cinco mulheres em períodos pré-operatório (T1) e entre 12 a 24 meses de pós-operatório (T2), submetidas à cirurgia de Fobi-Capella e alocadas em três grupos de 45 componentes, segundo diferentes tercis de índice de massa corporal (IMC) pré-operatório. Foram avaliados idade, massa corporal (IMC), circunferência da cintura, perfil metabólico (colesterol total, HDL-c, LDL-c, triglicerídios, glicemia de jejum), comorbidades e uso de medicamentos. Os indivíduos selecionados assinaram o termo de consentimento livre e esclarecido. Testes estatísticos foram usados para analisar os grupos. A idade média foi de 33,9 ± 9,3 anos. Após a cirurgia houve diminuição de 38,1% da massa corporal, 37,9% do IMC e de 28,9% da circunferência da cintura, com redução dos níveis séricos de glicose, colesterol, triglicerídios e LDL-c em 21,4%; 19,0%; 48,1% e 28,1%, respectivamente. O HDL-c aumentou 15,6%. Os níveis glicêmicos normalizaram em todos os grupos. A perda ponderal média dos grupos foi de 36,7%; 39,0% e 38,4%. Os grupos 1 e 2, classificados no pré-operatório como obesidade classe 3, evoluíram para sobrepeso e o grupo 3 para obesidade classe 1. Quanto à circunferência da cintura, todos apresentavam risco muito aumentado para complicações metabólicas e apenas o grupo 1 evoluiu para risco aumentado, com os demais permanecendo na classificação anterior. Dentre as comorbidades, a dislipidemia foi prevalente, seguida de doenças gástricas, doenças articulares, esteatose hepática, hipertensão arterial sistêmica e diabetes mellitus. A hipertensão regrediu em 91,8%; houve remissão de 95,7% do diabetes e de 41,5% da dislipidemia. Observou-se evolução satisfatória dos fatores de risco cardiovasculares e redução de 57,1% do uso de medicamentos. Embora apresentassem diferentes categorias de IMC no período pré-operatório, não houve diferenças significantes quanto às variáveis analisadas entre os grupos, os quais se beneficiaram igualmente do acompanhamento e procedimento cirúrgico.

Full textObesity is associated with several metabolic changes that may increase the risk of chronic diseases. Body weight is recognized as a protective factor against fractures and lower bone density. Considering that adolescence is a crucial period for bone mass acquisition and osteoporosis risk reduction in maturity and the effects of weight loss on bone mass in this life stage are not completely elucidated, the present study was performed. The objective was to investigate the effects of weight loss as well the metabolic changes related to bone mass in post-puberal adolescents. Bibliographic review and a longitudinal study, with adolescents submitted to nutritional intervention based on hipocaloric diet and nutritional advice during 9 months, were realized. Fifty-five subjects, 43 girls, mean age of 16.6 (1.4) years, with body mass index by age superior than 95 percentile, were recruited. Subjects were monitored every three weeks with anthropometric (weight, height and circumferences) and dietary intake (24h food intake recall) evaluation. Body composition and total-body bone mineral density. (assessed by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry), metabolic parameters (plasma lipids, glucose, insulin, leptin and ghrelin concentrations) and dietary intake (3-day food records) were evaluated at the baseline, after 3-months and at the end of the study. Sixteen participants thatcompleted the study did not lost weight. The group that adhered to intervention nutritional had mean weight loss of 6.2 (4.6) %. In this group, there was a significant decrease in energy intake, from 2105.4 (537.6) Kcal/day to 1738.8 (608.4) Kcal/day. Physical activity pratice increased between participants and there were metabolic parameters improvement in adolescents who lose weight. In these subjects, hypercholesterolemia and insulin resistance decreased, 7,9% and 27.2% (p<0.05) respectively, after 3 months of intervention. There was a significant increase of total bone mineral density and bone mineral content (BMC) in adolescents did not lost weight. Increased BMC and bone area was verified in participants that adhered to intervention nutritional. Bone parameters changes were associated with body fat alterations. The increment in bone mineral density even under weight loss showed no negative effect of bone mass. Dietary intake change and weight control contributed to metabolic parameters improvement of obese adolescents.

Full textBody mass distribution and center of mass (CoM) are important topics in the field of human biomechanics and the healthcare industry. Increasing global obesity has led researchers to measure body parameters. This project focuses on developing an automatic computer vision approach to calculate the body mass distribution and CoM, as well as identify body types with a minimum setup cost.
In this project, a 3-D calibrated experimental setup was devised to take images of four male subjects in three views: front view, left side view, and right side view. First, a method was devised to separate the human subject from the background. Second, a novel approach was developed to find the CoM, percentage body mass distribution, and body types using two models: Simulated Skeleton Model (SSM) and Simulated Skeleton Matrix (SSMA). The CoM using this method was 94.36% of the CoM calculated with a reaction board experiment. Total body mass using this method was 96.6% of the total body mass calculated with the weighing balance. This project has three components: (1) finding the body mass distribution and comparing the results with the weighing balance, (2) finding the CoM and comparing the results with the reaction board experiment, and (3) offering new ways to conceptualize the three body types that are ectomorph, endomorph, and mesomorph with ratings in the range of 0 to 5.

In Brazil, according to the Ministry of Health in 2014, 50.8% of Brazilians were overweight, therefore, more than half of the population. Of these, 17.5% were obese, of which 54.7% were men and 47.4% were women. Obesity and overweight (which can lead to obesity) are disorders whose appearance and maintenance indicate the existence of several correlated factors, presenting, therefore, a multidimensional cause. Aside from health problems, being overweight also leads to a "negative view of the body," especially for women. This causes them to associate fitness with acceptance, social success and happiness. In general, studies on body image and self-esteem in obese women point to losses related to dissatisfaction, depreciation, distortion and concern with self-image in a way that is dissociated from the sense of identity. The present study sought to identify expectations of weight loss and examine body image and self-esteem through a focus group of six women between the ages of 36 and 50, who were overweight and obese, without distinguishing how much, through their narratives and the use of photographs. In the group narrative they tried to determine subjects related to body image, self-esteem and expectation of weight loss; such narrative was completed with a case study of each participant, in which the interlocution between symbols emerged from photos brought by each participant along with their personal narratives. The results indicated that, influenced by individual and collective factors, the participants experienced little expectation of weight loss along with the alienation of self-esteem which operated in the service of compensatory defenses. The functional aspects of the group, of the photographs and their clinical and symbolic potential within the framework of analytical psychology, enabled participants to reflect on their symptomatic and individual conditions by translating the conflict from measurement to mythical, or from number to narrative, so that they were able to initially reflect on individual demands and self-image rather than maintaining massive projections in the collective
No Brasil, segundo o Ministério da Saúde em 2014, 50,8% dos brasileiros estavam acima do peso, ou seja, mais da metade da população. Destes, 17,5% eram obesos, dos quais 54,7% homens e 47,4% mulheres. A obesidade e o sobrepeso (que pode levar à obesidade) são uma doença que indica a existência de diversos fatores que se correlacionam para seu aparecimento e manutenção, portanto, tem uma causa multidimensional. Fora os problemas de saúde, há particularmente nas mulheres uma “visão negativa do corpo” perante o sobrepeso, levando-as a associar a forma física com a aceitação, o sucesso social e a felicidade. De uma forma geral, os estudos sobre imagem corporal e autoestima em obesas apontam para prejuízos relacionados à insatisfação, depreciação, distorção e preocupação com a autoimagem de modo dissociado ao senso de identidade. O estudo presente buscou identificar expectativas de emagrecimento e investigar imagem corporal e autoestima a partir de um grupo focal com seis mulheres entre 36 e 50 anos com sobrepeso e obesidade, sem distinção de grau, por meio de narrativas e do uso de fotografias. Na narrativa grupal procurou-se determinar temas relativos à imagem corporal, autoestima e expectativa de emagrecimento; tal narrativa completou-se com um estudo de caso de cada participante, no qual se buscou a interlocução entre símbolos emergidos de fotos trazidas por cada participante e suas narrativas pessoais. Os resultados indicaram que, influenciadas por fatores individuais e coletivos, as participantes experimentavam baixa expectativa de emagrecimento aliada ao alheamento da autoestima que operava a serviço de defesas compensatórias. Os aspectos funcionais do grupo, das fotografias e de seu potencial clínico e simbólico dentro do enquadre da psicologia analítica, possibilitaram às participantes refletirem sobre suas condições sintomáticas e individuais traduzindo o conflito da métrica à mítica, ou do número para a narrativa, de modo que elas puderam de maneira inicial refletir sobre demandas individuais e autoimagem ao invés de manter projeções maciças no coletivo
