Abstract:
Background Obesity is a rapidly growing public health problem affecting many countries in the world because of its prevalence, cost, and impact on health. The prevalence of obesity worldwide according to WHO is generally more common in women (13%) than men (11%). From 1980 to 2013 the prevalence of overweight and obesity among housewives in the world continued to increase. The increase in obesity in housewives is caused by several factors, especially lifestyle changes including decreased physical activity and excess intake of high-energy foods. Obesity is a serious problem because it reduces the quality of life and causes death worldwide. Purpose This literature study aims to describe obesity that occurs in housewives around the world along with the risk factors, management and prevention of obesity. Discussion Housewives are one of the groups at high risk of obesity. Obesity in women is influenced by various factors where the majority can still be prevented from now on. Conclusion Overweight and obesity can be defined as excessive accumulation of body fat. Obesity causes multifactorial or can be influenced by various risk factors. Obesity is more experienced by women with supporting factors such as: age, genetics, education level, multiparity, ethnicity, socio-economics, physical activity, and lifestyle. The risk factors that cause obesity consist of multifactors so that the handling of obesity involves many sectors. ABSTRAK Latar Belakang Obesitas merupakan masalah kesehatan masyarakat yang berkembang pesat serta mempengaruhi banyak negara di dunia karena prevalensi, biaya, dan dampak terhadap kesehatan. Prevalensi obesitas menurut WHO umumnya terjadi pada wanita (sebanyak 13%) dibanding pria. Sejak tahun 1980 hingga 2013 prevalensi kelebihan berat badan dan obesitas pada ibu rumah tangga di dunia terus meningkat. Obesitas ibu rumah tangga diakibatkan oleh beberapa faktor, terutama perubahan gaya hidup termasuk penurunan aktivitas fisik dan kelebihan asupan makanan berenergi tinggi. Obesitas merupakan permasalahan serius karena mengakibatkan pengurangan kualitas hidup serta menyebabkan kematian di seluruh dunia. Tujuan Studi literatur ini bertujuan untuk menggambarkan obesitas yang terjadi pada ibu rumah tangga di seluruh dunia beserta faktor resiko, penatalaksanaan serta pencegahan obesitas melalui sumber kepustakaan. Diskusi Ibu rumah tangga merupakan salah satu kelompok beresiko tinggi terkena obesitas. Obesitas pada wanita dipengaruhi berbagai macam faktor di mana mayoritas masih dapat dicegah sejak sekarang. Kesimpulan Berat badan berlebih dan obesitas dapat didefinisikan sebagai akumulasi lemak tubuh secara berlebihan. Obesitas penyebabnya multifaktoral atau dapat dipengaruhi berbagai faktor risiko. Obesitas lebih banyak dialami oleh wanita dengan faktor pendukung seperti: usia, genetik, tingkat pendidikan, multiparitas, etnis, sosio-ekonomi, aktivitas fisik, dan gaya hidup. Faktor risiko yang menyebabkan obesitas terdiri dari multifactor sehingga penanganan dari obesitas melibatkan banyak sektor.

Abstract:
AbstractAsthma can be worsened by obesity because obesity can cause a decrease in the pulmonary compliance system, lung volume, and airway diameter. Therefore, it is necessary to maintain an ideal body weight to prevent obesity and the incidence of asthma.The purpose of this literature review study was to describe the correlation between obesity and the incidence of asthma.This research used the Google Scholar database, Garuda Portal and PUBMED. The keywords used in searching for articles on the Google Scholar database and Garuda Portal were “obesity” and “asma”, while on PUBMED ere “obesity and asthma”.The results of a literature review of 5 article showed that there was a correlation between obesity and the incidence of asthma.The conclusion from this study showed that the result of obesity and asthma was 52% and the result from the “non-overweighted but have asthma” respondent was 48%. The p-value was less than 0,005. It means that the p-value is smaller. Therefore, it can be concluded that there is a correlation between obesity and the incidence of asthma. Keywords : Asthma, Obesity AbstrakAsma dapat diperburuk dengan adanya obesitas disamping itu obesitas dapat menyebabkan penurunan sistem komplians paru, volume paru dan diameter saluran napas. Oleh karena itu harus menjaga berat badan agar tetap ideal supaya tidak terjadi obesitas dan kejadian asma.

Abstract:
La obesidad infantil sigue siendo una importante carga para la salud pública. Comprender e identificar la compleja relación entre la calidad de la dieta y los factores del estilo de vida es importante para el control de peso en los niños y las estrategias de prevención de la obesidad infantil. Esta tesis se basa en datos de tres estudios: i) Enkid, un estudio nacional representativo de la población española de 2 a 24 años, n = 3534; ii) POIBC, un programa de obesidad infantil basado en la comunidad, que incluye niños de 8 a 10 años, n = 2250. El estudio se llevó a cabo durante dos años escolares, desde 2012 a 2014, con un seguimiento promedio de 15 meses; iii) INMA, cohorte de nacimiento de base poblacional con niños de 4 años i un seguimiento promedio de 3 años, n = 1.480. Encontramos que la ingesta total de flavonoides, la frecuencia de las comidas y la actividad física se asociaron positivamente con la adherencia a la dieta mediterránea, mientras que el tiempo de pantalla y la alimentación externa se asociaron con una mala adherencia. Un alto nivel de educación materna fue asociado a una más alta adherencia a la dieta mediterránea en los niños. Usamos el índice inflamatorio de la dieta para explorar la asociación entre el potencial inflamatorio de la dieta y su calidad. Concluimos que una dieta saludable, caracterizada por una alta adherencia a la dieta mediterránea, una alta capacidad antioxidante, o una baja densidad energética, estaba relacionada con un mayor potencial antiinflamatorio de la dieta. Finalmente, en dos estudios, evaluamos el impacto de los comportamientos obesogénicos en el estilo de vida sobre la obesidad infantil y la obesidad abdominal. En el primer estudio (artículo IV), definimos cuatro comportamientos obesogénicos como: <1 hora de actividad física/día; ≥2 horas/día de tiempo de pantalla; saltarse el desayuno; y tener menos de 3 comidas/día. Encontramos que la concurrencia de conductas obesogénicas (tiempo de pantalla alto, saltarse el desayuno, o baja actividad física y frecuencia de comidas) aumentaba el riesgo de tener un z-score de IMC más alto, un mayor relación cintura-altura y mayores probabilidades de sobrepeso y obesidad abdominal. Además, un alto nivel de educación materna y parental se asoció con la disminución de la presencia de comportamientos obesogénicos. En el segundo estudio (artículo V), construimos un score de estilo de vida saludable infantil (CHLS, por sus siglas en inglés) que comprendía cinco comportamientos de estilo de vida de interés que eran favorables (actividad física extracurricular, tiempo de sueño, consumo de alimentos basados en plantas) o desfavorables (tiempo de televisión y consumo de alimentos ultraprocesados). Encontramos que el CHLS a los 4 años de edad se asoció negativamente con el IMC, z-score de cintura, y mayores probabilidades de sobrepeso y obesidad a los 7 años. In Conclusión, Esta investigación de doctorado demuestra un aumento en el IMC entre los niños españoles con baja actividad física, frecuencia de comidas y tiempo de sueño, y un alto tiempo de TV y consumo de alimentos ultraprocesados. Los hallazgos también resaltan una relación inversa entre la circunferencia de la cintura y la actividad física i el tiempo de sueño. En contraste con esto, observamos lo opuesto a saltarse el desayuno y el tiempo de televisión. El nivel educativo materno está asociado con la calidad de la dieta de los niños y la presencia de factores de estilo de vida obesos. Nuestros resultados destaca varios comportamientos modificables clave que pueden ser objeto de políticas e intervenciones para mejorar la calidad de la dieta, con el objetivo de abordar el problema de la obesidad infantil en España.
Childhood obesity remains a major public health burden. Understanding and identifying the complex relationship between diet quality and lifestyle factors is important for pediatric weight control and obesity prevention strategies. The main scope of the present thesis was to determine the complex correlation between obesogenic behaviors, diet quality and overweight and obesity in Spanish youth. This thesis is based on data from three studies: i) Enkid, a representative national study of the Spanish population aged 2 to 24 years, n=3534; ii) POIBC, a community based childhood obesity program, including children aged 8 to 10 years, n = 2250. The study was carried out during two school years, 2012 to 2014, with an average follow-up of 15 months; iii) INMA, population-based birth cohort, including children aged 4 years with an average follow-up of 3 years, n= 1480. We found that total flavonoids intake (paper I), meal frequency and physical activity were positively associated with adherence to the Mediterranean diet (paper III), while screen time and external eating were associated with poor adherence (paper III). A high maternal level of education increased the odds of a child adhering to the Mediterranean diet (paper III).We used the diet inflammatory index to explore the association between the inflammatory potential of diet and diet quality (paper II). We concluded that a healthy diet, characterized by high adherence to the Mediterranean diet, high total dietary antioxidant capacity, or low energy density, was linked to greater anti-inflammatory potential of the diet. Finally, in two studies we evaluated the impact of lifestyle obesogenic behaviors on childhood obesity and abdominal obesity. In the first study (paper IV), we defined four obesogenic behaviors as: <1 hour physical activity/day; ≥2 hour/day of screen time; skipping breakfast; and having fewer than 3 meals/day. We found that the concurrence of obesogenic behaviors (high screen time, skipping breakfast, and low physical activity and meal frequency) increased risk of higher Body mass index (BMI) z-scores, higher waist-to-height ratio (WHtR) and higher odds of overweight and abdominal obesity. In addition, high maternal and parental education was associated with decreasing presence of obesogenic behaviors. In the second study (paper V), we constructed a child healthy lifestyle score (CHLS) comprising five target lifestyle behaviors that were either favorable (extracurricular physical activity, sleep time, plantbased food consumption) or unfavorable (television time and consumption of ultra-processed foods).We found that CHLS at age 4 years was negatively associated with BMI, waist circumference (WC) z-scores and higher odds of overweight and obesity at age 7 years. This PhD research shows an increase in BMI among Spanish children with low physical activity, meal frequency, and sleep time, and high TV time and ultra-processed food intake. The findings also highlight an inverse relationship between waist circumference and physical activity, sleep time, whereas skipping breakfast, and TV time were positively associated with WC z-score and increased the odds of abdominal obesity. Maternal educational level determines children’s diet quality, and the presence of obesity lifestyle factors. Our finding highlights several key modifiable behaviors that can be targeted by policies and interventions to improve diet quality and to tackle the childhood obesity problem in Spain.

Abstract:
The incidence of obesity and its related metabolic diseases, such as diabetes, cardiovascular disease and hypertension, has escalated dramatically over the past decades worldwide, so much so that it has reached epidemic proportions. It has become a significant public health issue and a massive burden to the health-care system in developed and developing countries. Obesity is the fifth leading risk for human mortality around the globe, resulting in 2.8 million adult deaths each year. Another alarming fact is that childhood obesity has increased dramatically since 1990. Childhood obesity is one of the serious public health challenges of the 21st century, with there expected to be about 60 million obese children by 2020 globally. Obesity is connected with chronic low-grade inflammation manifested by increased circulatory levels of several cytokines and acute phase proteins associated with inflammation. While many are secreted by adipocytes, it is believed that increased adipose tissue mass is either directly or indirectly associated with the increased production of inflammation-related factors. Several therapeutic options have been used for short-term treatment of obesity, however many of these cause unpleasant side-effects, including dizziness, headache, anxiety, elevated heart rate and gastro-intestinal issues. There is strong evidence supporting the therapeutic use of polyphenols such as stilbenes, flavonoids and curcuminoids, given that they show potential in the prevention and/or treatment of obesity and its metabolic complications. They are widely accepted in health promotion due to their antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti-carcinogenic, anti-obesity, anti-diabetic, and anti-ageing properties. The actions of their effect are thought to be through the suppression of adipocyte differentiation and proliferation, inhibition of fat absorption from the gut, inhibition of lipogenesis, stimulation of β-oxidation, inhibition of production of proinflammatory adipokines, and the stimulation of adiponectin secretion. Polyphenols, specifically anthocyanins, present in a novel plum variety, Queen-Garnet plums (QGP), have been studied in the first clinical trial. It was hypothesised that anthocyanin-rich QGP juice could be effective in reducing body weight and production of adipose tissue hormones (Chapter 4). It was observed that QGPJ significantly reduced body weight in humans after 4 weeks of supplementation. Furthermore, anthocyanins had significant effects on secretion of adiponectin as well as effects on the production of leptin. Anti-inflammatory actions of anthocyanins extracted from bilberries (Vaccinium myrtillus) and blackcurrant (Ribes nigrum) and their effect on pro-inflammatory markers were studied in the second clinical trial. It was hypothesised that high-dose anthocynin supplementation, in the form of MEDOX® capsules, would downregulate inflammatory adipocytokines in overweight and obese individuals (Chapter 5). Results illustrated the significant effect of anthocynins on secretion of MCP1/CCL2 and IL-6 in overweight and obese populations, as well as an effect on TNF-α production in obese individuals. The anti-obesity effect of anthocynin supplementation on body weight and production of adipose tissue hormones was also evaluated in the second clinical trial. It was hypothesised that high-dose anthocyanins would regulate the secretion of hormones as well as decrease the body weight in overweight and obese populations after 4 weeks of supplementation (Chapter 6). It was demonstrated that supplementation with anthocyanins resulted in significant increases in adiponectin secretion as well as significant decreases in leptin production in overweight and obese individuals. Due to the showed beneficial effects of polyphenols on anti and pro inflammatory adipocytokine secretion, the influence of anthocyanins present in QGPJ and MEDOX® supplements on the gene expression of these markers was investigated (Chapters 4, 5 and 6). Interestingly, it was observed that polyphenols did not have a significant effect on the modulation of anti and pro-inflammatory markers’ gene expression. From the observed effects of polyphenols, specifically anthocyanins, on secretion and production of anti and pro-inflammatory markers as well as hormones, further studies with a larger number of volunteers and for a longer time are needed. Investigation of other anti and pro-inflammatory markers, as well as comparison of anthocyanins supplements to current anti-inflammatory and anti-obesity therapies and treatments, could also be beneficial.

The prevalence of overweight and obesity has steadily increased over the years among all genders, ages, racial and ethnic groups, educational levels, and smoking levels [15]. From 1960 to 2004, the prevalence of overweight increased from 44.8 to 66 percent in U.S. adults age 20 to 74 [14]. The prevalence of obesity during this same time period more than doubled among adults age 20 to 74 from 13.3 to 32.1 percent, with most of this rise occurring since 1980 [14]. As these numbers increase, more people are prone to diabetes and increased risk for congestive heart disease, high blood pressure, osteoarthritis, dyslipoproteinemia, various cancers, and all-cause mortality [5]. With two thirds of American adults of age 20 or older being overweight or obese [13], it is imperative to prevent these numbers from rising any further; and, one way is to increase the level of general physical activity [5]. The main idea of the study is to use a mobile device (in our case, a mobile phone) to automatically and continuously monitor physical activity and then to reinforce increases in physical activity using positive reinforcement and operant conditioning learning theory. Prior work in behavioral science suggests that well-timed, positive, and tailored messages can influence behavior. This will be the first study to investigate the potential of using automatic activity recognition using sensors to apply this theory and to measure the impact consistent application of the theory might have on motivating behavior changes. Although we will study physical activity, the same strategies could be used to encourage other desired behavior changes.

Abstract:

Obesity is described as a chronic disease affecting adults, children, and adolescents. It has become a significant burden for the healthcare system and is considered one of the top health problems contributing to severe complications from childhood through adulthood. Obesity represents one of the most worrisome health problems in the United States, because it directly affects the health of individuals.

The research objective was to educate parents and grandparents of Latino children under age 17 regarding the importance of healthy food choices and physical activity. The aim was to empower parents and grandparents to practice health promotion and disease prevention. A descriptive design with pretest and posttest was utilized to indicate the knowledge gained by participants after the instructional phase. The result of the data analysis indicated an increase for the majority of participants regarding their level of understanding about healthy eating and the importance of physical activity.
