Full textObesity 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.

Full textL'obésité est devenue une des plus grandes menaces dans la santé publique, étant donné qu'elle est fréquemment co-reliée avec des facteurs de risque du diabète de type 2 (T2D) et de la maladie cardiovasculaire (CVD), et est donc associée à une mortalité accrue. Les facteurs génétiques représentent une partie substantielle de la variation phénotypique de l'obésité, ainsi que des facteurs de risque des maladies vasculaires qui y sont associés. Dans cette thèse, je décris l'identification de plusieurs variants génétiques communs qui prédisposent les porteurs aux complications associées à l'obésité. D'abord, je décris l'identification d'une variation commune dans le gène d'une protéine sécrétée par le tissu adipeux viscéral, visfatin, et démontre l'influence de ces variants sur la variation interindividuelle d'une insulinémie à jeun. Deuxièmement, je décris l'identification d'une interaction entre l'utilisation des thiazolidinediones une classe de médicaments anti-hyperglycémiques, et une variation génétique dans le gène nuclear factor of activated T-cells cytoplasmic component 2 (NFATC2) qui aboutit à l'œdème et potentiellement à l'insuffisance cardiaque congestive. Ensuite, en utilisant un échantillon de la population asiatique du Sud dans la découverte de gènes, j'identifie une nouvelle association entre la variation du gène dipeptidyl peptidase 4 (DPP4), une cible de la médication anti-hyperglycémique basée sur l'incretin, et les niveaux de l'apolipoprotéine B (apoB), un facteur de risque du CVD et un marqueur de la dyslipidémie associée à l'obésité. De plus, en utilisant des différences observées entre les Européens et les Asiatiques du Sud, j'ai pu identifier l'hétérogénéité dans l'association entre DPP4 et apoB causé par l'adiposité. Finalement, je décris une association entre la variation du gène sterol regulatory element binding protein 1 (SREBF1) et l'indice de masse corporelle (BMI) et démontre sa contribution potentielle aux différences de BMI observées parmi différentes ethnicités dans le monde entier. Je présente aussi des données qui suggèrent fortement que ces différences peuvent être dues à une récente sélection positive à ce locus dans des populations humaines. Les découvertes de cette thèse illustrent l'importance des variants génétiques communs dans la pathogenèse de l'obésité, ainsi que les complications qui s'y rattachent et mettent en évidence la régulation de glucose par le tissu adipeux comme étant une caractéristique sous-jacente importante.

Full textBackground: According to WHO, obesity is considered as an "epidemic" condition due to the global growth of its prevalence and its impact on patient health. For pregnant patients, its impact seems equally worrying and its prevalence is now reaching 10% in France. Some complications of obesity in pregnant women have been little studied and particularly the special link with fetal macrosomia.Objectives: To better understand care and obstetric outcome of obese pregnant patients as well as some of their complications such as fetal macrosomia.Methods: Three different sets of data were used to deal with questions regarding obesity and macrosomia. 1) Assessment of feasibility and quality of second trimester ultrasound scan in obese patients was performed through a mono centric case-control study with prospective data collection. 2) A study of risk factors for maternal complications in case of the delivery of a macrosomic child, regardless of maternal obesity and child's birth weight, was conducted as a prospective cohort study including children with birthweight above 4000g in two “Ile de France” maternity wards. 3) Finally, a comparison of the relationship between maternal and/or neonatal complications of pregnancy and obesity was conducted in France (4 type III maternity wards) and in Quebec (data from a randomized study throughout the province) between 2009 and 2011 through a comparative study of two cross-sectional samples of pregnant women (26,973 births in France and 83,545 births in Quebec).Results: 1) Second trimester ultrasound scan in obese pregnant women is feasible, with a success rate of 70.4% (versus 82%; p=0.08). Factors of improvement were: to spend more time at ultrasound (p=0.03), to move the fetus so that its back is in lateral or posterior position (p=0.01) and when ultrasound was performed by experienced sonographers (p=0.03). However, the quality of the image remains significantly lower in the obese population (p=0.001). 2) The occurrence of maternal complications, when attempting vaginal birth of a child of more than 4000g, was 6%. Beyond childbirth weight (p=0.004, attributable risk (AR) = 10%), the risk factors of maternal complications were Asian ethnicity (p=0.04; AR=3%), prolonged labor (> 10h) (p=0.02; AR=12%), and caesarean section during labor (p=0.004; AR=17%). Multiparous women with a previous vaginal delivery of a macrosomic child had a lower risk of maternal complications (p=0.03). 3) The prevalence of obesity was 9.1% in France and 16.8% in Quebec (p <0.001). Obesity was significantly (p <0.0001) associated with, both in France and in Quebec, an increased risk of gestational diabetes, hypertensive disorders of pregnancy, preeclampsia, stillbirth, cesarean delivery and macrosomia. The strength of the association was different in France and Quebec (p of interaction <0.005) for the occurrence of gestational diabetes, hypertensive complications of pregnancy and macrosomia, with a larger increase in complications with body mass index in Quebec compared to France.Conclusion: Understanding some inherent complications of obesity (medical complications of pregnancy, feasibility and quality of ultrasound screening, obstetric complications) is enhanced by the result of this work

Full textPhysical inactivity is a major risk for obesity. This chronic disease results from a caloric imbalance causing an enlargement of adipocytes by excessive fat storage. With an increasing prevalence, childhood obesity is correlated with endothelial dysfunction, inflammation and oxidative stress conducting to the development of other diseases not only in children but also during adulthood. In other hand, numerous children practice exercise of high duration or intensity in high competition sports, which can have harmful effects at physical, physiological and psychological level. In high competition young athletes, oxidative stress and immunosuppression can happen leading to an elevated risk of infection. However, an improved lipid profile is found in childhood athletes. Thus, the objective of the present study was to analyze the impact of childhood obesity as well as intense swimming training in body composition, inflammation and lipid profile, through blood analysis, bioimpedance and immunodetection of the pro-inflammatory cytokines (IL-6 and TWEAK), a myokine (Myostatin) and an acute-phase protein (CRP). For that, 24 young people were recruited into three groups: obese, athlete and lean. The obese group had high levels of body fat, an atypical lipid profile (low HDL and high LDL), high levels of lactate dehydrogenase in the blood indicating tissue damage, chronic inflammation (high IL-6, CRP and TWEAK) and low muscle mass (high Myostatin) without muscle damage (low CK). However, low serum levels of hepatic enzyme (AST and ALT) in these obese children do not associate obesity with liver disease. In other hand, intense physical exercise is not a harmfull activity for young athletes, since the lipid profile is improved and the increased levels of inflammatory markers is not significant. The main benefit of intensive training is the decreased levels of glucose being a protective role for diabetes.
A inatividade física é um dos principais riscos para a obesidade. Esta doença crónica resulta de um desiquilíbrio calórico causando um alargamento dos adipócitos através do excesso de armazenamento de gordura. Com um aumento da prevalência, a obesidade infantil correlaciona-se com a disfunção endotelial, inflamação e stress oxidativo, conduzindo ao desenvolvimento de outras doenças não só em criança, mas também durante a idade adulta. Por outro lado, muitas crianças praticam exercício de elevada duração ou intensidade em desportos de alta competição, o que pode ter efeitos prejudiciais a nível físico, fisiológico e psicológico. Em jovens atletas de alta competição, stress oxidativo e imunossupressão podem ocorrer levando ao elavado risco de infeção. No entanto, perfis lipídicos melhorados são encontrados em crianças atletas. Desta forma, o objetivo do presente estudo foi analizar o impacto da obesidade infantil bem como de treinos intensivos de natação na composição corporal, inflamação e perfil lipídico através de análises ao sangue, bioimpedância e imunodeteção de citocinas pró-inflamatórias (IL-6 e TWEAK), uma miocina (Miostatina) e uma proteina de fase aguda (CRP). Para tal, foram recrutados 24 jovens divididos em três grupos: obesos, atletas e normoponderais. O grupo de obesos apresentou elevados níveis de gordura corporal, um perfil lipídico atípico (baixo HDL e elevado LDL), níveis elevados de lactato desidrogenase no sangue indicando dano tecidual, inflamação crónica (elevado IL-6, CRP e TWEAK) e massa muscular diminuida (elevada Miostatina) sem dano muscular (baixo CK). No entanto os baixos níveis de enzimas hepáticas (AST e ALT) no soro não associam a obesidade com doença hepática. Por outro lado, o exercício físico intenso não é uma atividade prejudicial para os jovens atletas, uma vez que o perfil lipídico é melhorado e o aumento dos níveis de marcadores inflamatórios não é significativo. O principal benefício do treino intensivo é a diminuição dos níveis de glucose tendo um papel protetor para a diabetes.
