Background: As rates of obesity continue to rise in the USA, there is a need for effective treatments for excess adiposity. Behavioral weight-loss interventions can produce clinically meaningful weight reduction through life-style modifications. However, few studies have evaluated the effectiveness of high-intensity behavioral weight-loss interventions at worksites. Aim: The present research investigated the effectiveness of a previously validated behavioral weight-loss intervention in a Hawai‘i worksite. Methods: Thirty-six participants were recruited from the employee population of a local employer. Participants received six months of group behavioral weight-loss treatment from trained providers. Anthropomorphic, physiological, psychological, and behavioral assessments were collected pre and post treatment. Select physiological and behavioral assessments were collected every four sessions. Results: Sixty-one percent of participants adhered to treatment, and 78% of participants completed treatment. From pre to post treatment, results found that participants achieved clinically significant improvements in weight, body mass index (BMI), and waist circumference, with accompanying physiological, psychological, and behavioral improvements ( F(12, 2)=101.379, p=0.010, partial η2=0.998). Analyses revealed that participants also achieved significant changes in weight, BMI, and waist circumference across time points, as well as improvements in specific eating habits. Conclusions: The present study demonstrated the efficacy of a worksite behavioral weight-loss program. The present intervention produced clinically significant weight losses for a large proportion of participants, accompanied by significant improvements in physiological, behavioral, and psychological outcomes. This research is promising for the ongoing implementation of behavioral weight-loss approaches.

AbstractObjective:To evaluate, in terms of function and mobility, the predictive value of commonly adopted anthropometric ‘definitions’ used in the nutritional assessment of older adults, in a cohort of older Australians.Design:Prospective cohort study – Australian Longitudinal Study of Ageing (ALSA).Setting:Adelaide, South Australia (1992–1994).Subjects:Data were analysed from 1272 non-institutionalised (685 males, 587 females) older adults ≥70 years old in South Australia. Seven ‘definitions’ commonly used in the anthropometric assessment of both under- and overnutrition (including four using body mass index (BMI), waist-to-hip ratio, waist circumference and percentage weight change) were evaluated at baseline, for their ability to predict functional and mobility limitation assessed (by self-report questionnaire) at two years follow-up. All questionnaires were administered and anthropometry performed by trained investigators. The associations between the definitions and decline in mobility and physical function were evaluated over two years using multiple logistic regression.Results:A BMI >85th percentile or >30 kgm−2 or a waist circumference of >102 cm in males and >88 cm in females increased risk of functional and mobility limitations. Over two years, a loss of 10% body weight significantly increased the risk of functional and mobility limitations.Conclusion:Maintaining weight within older adults, irrespective of initial body weight, may be important in preventing functional and mobility limitations. Excessive weight is associated with an increased risk of limitation in function and mobility, both key components of health-related quality of life.

IntroductionOverweight and obesity are highly prevalent among Australian men. Professional sports settings can act as a powerful ‘hook’ to engage men in weight loss programmes; the Football Fans in Training programme delivered in professional UK soccer clubs was successful and cost-effective in helping men lose weight. The Australian Football League (AFL) is a potentially attractive setting to engage men in a weight loss programme. We aim to develop, pilot and evaluate the feasibility of a weight loss intervention for overweight/obese middle-aged men, delivered in AFL settings, to promote weight loss and healthier lifestyles and determine its suitability for a future randomised control trial.Methods and analysis120 overweight/obese male fans will complete baseline physical and psychological health measures and objective measures of physical activity (PA), weight, waist size and blood pressure prior to randomisation into the intervention or waitlist comparison group. The intervention group will receive 12 weekly 90 min workshops incorporating PA, nutrition education, behaviour change techniques and principles of effective motivation. Four community coaches will be trained to deliver Aussie-FIT at two AFL clubs in Western Australia. Measurements will be repeated in both groups at 3 months (post-intervention) and 6 months (follow-up). Outcomes will include programme uptake, attendance, changes in lifestyle and weight variables to inform power calculations for a future definitive trial, fidelity of programme delivery, acceptability, satisfaction with the programme and perceptions of effectiveness. We will also determine trial feasibility and potential to gather cost-effectiveness data.Ethics and disseminationEthics approval was granted by Curtin University’s Human Research Ethics Committee (HREC2017-0458). Results will be disseminated via peer-reviewed publications, conference presentations and reports. A multicomponent dissemination strategy will include targeted translation and stakeholder engagement events to establish strategies for sustainability and policy change.Trial registration numberACTRN12617000515392; Pre-results.

Background: Zumba® Fitness is a popular aerobic exercise and sometimes due to its high-intensity is considered sufficient for weight management,, from both trainers and trainees,, regardless of the type of diet followed. Its effectiveness in weight and body fat loss,, with or without dietary intervention has been slightly studied.Subjects and Methods: In the current randomized controlled trial,, thirty two healthy adult overweight women who attended exclusively Zumba® fitness for three times per week,, were randomly divided into 3 subgroups and received parallel dietary advice for two months: Group A did not receive dietary intervention (control group),. Group B received general healthy eating guidelines based on the Mediterranean pyramid and the food plate model and Group C individualized diet plan according anthropometric characteristics,, lifestyle,, and dietary habits. A Food Frequency Questionnaire used at baseline to assess dietary habits before the study,, and three 24-hour recalls evaluated compliance upon dietary intervention.Results: Significant reductions in body weight,, fat,, hip and waist circumference revealed in Group C, and in body fat of Group B.Conclusions: Zumba® fitness is enjoyable and could be used to enhance weight loss with appropriate dietary individualized advice in overweight subjects. In parallel,. it could be effective when combined with healthy eating guidance for improving fat loss and general well being.

Background The prevalence of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) reaches up to 30% in the Asian adult population, with a higher prevalence in obese patients. Weight reduction is typically recommended for patients at high risk or diagnosed with NAFLD, but is a challenge to achieve. Objective We aimed to evaluate the effect of a lifestyle intervention with a mobile app on weight loss in NAFLD patients. Methods This prospective randomized controlled trial included 108 adults with NAFLD confirmed by steatosis on ultrasound and a body mass index ≥23 kg/m2 who were recruited from a fatty liver outpatient clinic. The patients were randomly allocated to either a control group (n=53) receiving standard care, consisting of dietary and lifestyle advice by a trained nurse, or an intervention group (n=55) utilizing the Nutritionist Buddy (nBuddy) mobile app in addition to receiving dietary and lifestyle advice by a dietitian. Body weight, alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), waist circumference, and blood pressure were measured at baseline, and then at 3 and 6 months. Intention-to-treat and per-protocol analyses were used for statistical comparisons. Results The intervention group had a 5-fold higher likelihood (relative risk 5.2, P=.003, 95% CI 1.8-15.4) of achieving ≥5% weight loss compared to the control group at 6 months. The intervention group also showed greater reductions in weight (mean 3.2, SD 4.1 kg vs mean 0.5, SD 2.9 kg; P<.001), waist circumference (mean 2.9, SD 5.0 cm vs mean –0.7, SD 4.4 cm; P<.001), systolic blood pressure (mean 12.4, SD 14.8 mmHg vs mean 2.4, SD 12.4 mmHg; P=.003), diastolic blood pressure (mean 6.8, SD 8.9 mmHg vs mean –0.9, SD 10.0 mmHg; P=.001), ALT (mean 33.5, SD 40.4 IU/L vs mean 11.5, SD 35.2 IU/L; P=.004), and AST (mean 17.4, SD 27.5 U/L vs mean 7.4, SD 17.6 IU/L, P=.03) at 6 months. Conclusions Lifestyle intervention enabled by a mobile app can be effective in improving anthropometric indices and liver enzymes in patients with NAFLD. This treatment modality has the potential to be extended to a larger population scale.

Full textAbstract:
With the advancement in technology and the growing sedentary lifestyle, comorbidities related to obesity and overweight are also increasing. Every other person complains of weight gain and is looking for ways to reduce pounds on the scale. Most people have started working out at their homes instead of going out to the gym due to the Coronavirus Pandemic, while others have a proper routine of working out in the gym. Thus, our research study compares the effectiveness of home-based workout programs and gym workouts to analyze which type of workout will provide the most effective results in the shortest time, keeping in view the participants' caloric intake. This study aims to inspect the amount of fat loss, changes are seen on the weight scale, changes in body composition (via BIA analysis), waist circumference, waist-to-hip ratio, keeping in view the intensity and duration of exercise parallel to their caloric intake. It was a four week (one month) comparative study on 50 home-based exercisers and 50 adults working out in the gym (ages 19 – 39) under the supervision of a trainer. The weight, body and visceral fat percentages were assessed using a Body Impedance Analysis (BIA) machine. Also, variables measured were waist circumference, height, blood pressure, pulse rate, respiratory rate and social status (through MacArthur's subjective social status ladder). There was observed dietary history from every individual through a 24-hour dietary recall for the past three days. Subjects had a follow-up after every seven days (weekly), and all the data was entered and analyzed on SPSS.
Out of 100 participants, 68% study participants were males and 32% participants were females. Most of the participants were not taking any diet or were taking greater than equal to 1400 kcals per day. Comorbidity data showed that, 86% participants did not have any comorbidities while remaining 14% had different types of comorbidities. 49% participants were doing strength training, 34% were performing cardio, 12% were doing aerobics and 5% opted for yoga. In the gym in higher social status, it is only males that are working out while some females of low socio-economic status also work out at the gym. Males of very low socioeconomic status also prefer gym workout. In home-based work out there is equal number of males and females in higher social status whereas only females of low socioeconomic status prefer working out at home. Gender wise distribution of type of exercise (TOE) and type of diet (TOD) data showed that most males are strength training with ≥ 1400 kcal. Most females perform cardio exercises with a caloric intake of 1100 to 1300 kcal per day. classification of subjects according to body mass index (BMI) showed that 4% individuals had lower BMI, 24% were normal, 14% and 22% were overweight and obese respectively, however 28% had morbid obesity. Results showed that people who do home based workout had significant difference with body fat percentage, visceral fat percentage, waist circumference and body mass index. However, there were no significant differences found in terms of Waist to hip ratio, heart rate, and Respiratory Rate. The chi-square test shows .001 significance which means there is a significant association between BMI and gender. Gym and home-based workouts have their benefits, and we cannot label one as more beneficial. But people who work out in the gym had lesser body fat and lesser visceral fat, which gives it more significance. Moreover, gym workouts proved to keep control of blood pressure in individuals. Both gym and home workouts have similar effects on the waist to hip ratio, heart rate and respiratory rate. The benefit of home workouts is evident in reducing waist circumference.

Objective:The aim of this study was to describe relationships between self-reported diabetes mellitus and its treatment, according to demographic and socioeconomic data, as well as indicators of nutritional status in community-dwelling older adults.Methods:This is a population-based and a cross-sectional study derived from the multicentric survey "Frailty in Brazilian Elderly". The random sample consisted of 881 community-dwelling older adults aged 65 years and older from the city of Campinas. The self-reported variables were: age, gender, family income (minimum salaries), education (years of education); and absolute data (yes versusno) regarding unintentional weight loss and weight gain, diabetes, and its treatment. Anthropometric variables were collected by trained examiners following classic protocols. Body mass index was classified as: underweight <23; normal weight ≥23 and <28; overweight ≥28 and <30; and obesity ≥30. Waist-to-hip ratio, indicator of abdominal adiposity, was classified according the metabolic risk, for male and female, respectively: low 0.90-0.95 and 0.80-0.85; moderate 0.96-1.00 and 0.86-0.90; and high >1.00 and >0.90.Results:The variables most associated with diabetes were obesity (OR=2.19), abdominal adiposity (OR=2.97), and unintentional weight loss (OR=3.38). The lack of diabetes treatment was associated with advanced age (p=0.027), lower educational level (p=0.005), and low metabolic risk (p=0.004).Conclusion: Self-reported diabetes was associated with obesity but mostly with abdominal adiposity and unintentional weight loss. Not being treated for diabetes mellituswas associated with advanced age, lower levels of education, and lower abdominal adiposity.

The study included 82 women aged from 18 to 49 years old (mean age 29,7±5,7 years). A clinical examination, the study of body composition by bioimpedance measuring, questioning were carried out. Statistical analysis was performed using the program Microsoft Exel, "Statistica 7,0". Analysis of the diet revealed the excess of the daily energy value of food intake over energy requirements of 650±250 kcal/day in the group of persons with obesity in comparison with healthy. Disorders of balanced daily diet were noted. To improve motivation and compliance in the "School of overweight correction" the patients with obesity and healthy were trained in groups and individually. After training, the authors observed favorable trends in nutrition of patients, reducing the fat consumption in 7,2±0,8 g/day and refined carbohydrates to 8,2±0,5 g/day. In the treatment the authors used the drug The Reduxine (sibutramine in combination with microcrystalline cellulose) at a dose of 10 mg. The Observation lasted 24 weeks. Caloric value of daily ration decreased by 20-28% from initial, average weight loss was 8,9±1,6 kg, waist circumference decrease was 11,4±1,8 cm. Patients with risk of diabetes took the Sibutramine + microcrystalline cellulose (the Reduxine) at a dose of 10 mg and the Metformin at a dose of 500 mg. There is increase dose weekly by 500 mg to dose of 1500 mg. Energy intake decreased by 28 ± 7% of the original (p <0,05) on combination therapy. As a result of the combined therapy the Reduxine at a dose of 10 mg and the Metformin at a dose of 1500 mg, the authors revealed a decrease in body weight - 9,7 ± 1,5 kg (p<0,05), waist circumference - 11,4±1,8 cm (p<0.05). The therapy by the Reduxine at a dose of 10 mg for 6 months and combined therapy with the Reduxine 10 mg and the Metformin 1500 mg led to the control of feeding behavior, improvement in metabolic parameters, target weight loss. This therapy is effective and safety.

The principal aim of this study was to determine the effects of short-term (28 days) pyruvate supplementation on body composition in young healthy men. Twenty-two young (mean age, 22.2 ± 2.7 years) male soccer players were allocated to two randomly assigned groups in a placebo-controlled, double-blind design. Subjects in the pyruvate group orally ingested tablets that contained pyruvate at a dose of 2 g per day in two equal doses for 4 weeks. There were no statistically significant changes in weight and body-mass index (BMI) within or between groups (p>0.05) after the supplementation protocol. Percentage of body fat decreased similarly in both pyruvate and placebo groups after the supplementation protocol (p>0.05). There were no changes in waist-to-hip ratio (WHR), arm fat index (AFI), and total or regional muscle mass within or between groups (p>0.05). No subject reported any side effects from pyruvate or placebo treatment. The results of the present study indicate that supplementation with pyruvate during training does not significantly alter the body mass, fat, and muscle mass in healthy trained men. Pyruvate supplementation appears to be ineffective as a fat loss strategy in young athletes.

Current health recommendations encourage weight loss for overweight and obese individuals. However, the importance of weight to health is still unclear. The purpose of this study was to determine the impact of weight loss on overall health in a sample of adults who have completed a 10 or 12 week weight loss intervention. The study sample included males and females (n =99) between the ages of 27 -64 years that had a BMI of 29-45 kg/m². The study design is a secondary data analysis of data from two different behavioral weight loss interventions. Both interventions prescribed a reduced calorie diet, increased physical activity, and self-monitoring of diet and physical activity. Of the 99 participants, 28 lost greater than 5% of baseline body weight and saw the most significant changes in waist circumference (p<0.001), systolic blood pressure (p=0.004), diastolic blood pressure (p=0.002), and total cholesterol (p=0.001). This group experienced improvements in every lab value tested. More research with larger sample sizes and longer trial periods need to be done in order to strengthen the validity of the weight loss interventions.

Approximately 32% of college-aged individuals are overweight or obese, yet few weight loss programs have effectively motivated this population to adopt a healthier lifestyle. A majority of this population frequently uses the social networking site Facebook. This study examined the impact of a Facebook social support group on weight loss efforts of college students. A total of 24 students were randomly assigned to either the intervention group, which consisted of a Facebook support group, or control group after attending a one-time weight loss class. Assessments were taken at baseline and four weeks. Of participants in this study, 83.3% were Facebook users. All but two participants were female with 47.8% identifying as black, non-Hispanic and 39.1% as white, non-Hispanic. Most participants were considered obese or overweight with 39-inch median waist circumference for women and 44-inch median waist circumference for men. The primary outcome was a mean weight loss of -3.55 ± 4.25 lbs. for those in the intervention group compared to -1.61 ± 3.24 lbs. for the control group after four weeks. Though results were not statistically significant, the intervention group lost more weight than the control group. Results indicate the potential for an innovative weight loss aid that utilizes an online site already integrated into the lifestyle of college students.

Obesity is a serious health problem that leads to several chronic diseases and premature deaths. TheIn this project,was used to evaluate the effectiveness of the the Weigh Forward (WF) program, a 10-week weight-loss program administered in retail clinics, was evaluated, and it is provided in retails stores. The project analysis was completed on a limited data set on The population consisted of 15 obese participantsmembers of the program, 18 years and above, at 13 dispersed clinics in Maryland and Virginia.in the WF program from 13 dispersed clinics in Maryland and VirgiObesity is a body mass index (BMI) > 30 kg/m2. Participants were 18 years and above The theory of planned behavior (TPB) was used as the framework from which to view the project. The project was usedpurpose was to determine the efficacy of the WF program for weight reduction by comparing the baseline body mass index (BMI) and the waist circumference (WC) to the BMI and WC at the end of the program. Descriptive The aanalysis was done using correlation coefficient on the 15 participants,, who completed the 10-week WF program. The result, showed the mean and mode for BMI reduction to be 2 kg/m2, and the mean and mode for the WC reduction was 3 inches. The percentage weight loss varied from 3-11%, with the completion rate for the enrolled participants at 29%. Thise study has implications for the social change because the findings support intensive behavioral modification as an effective approach to weight loss. The study can help healthcare providers appreciate the is the need to complete preventive care assessment on patients, identify patients with obesity, and provide these patients with the requisite information on the need to lose weight. Also, the clinicians provide the patients with information and available resources to enable help them lose weight. The mean and mode of 2 kg/m2 for BMI reduction, and 3 inches for the reduction in WC at the end of 10 weeks, showed that the WF program was effective for weight loss because the participants lost significant amount of weight. The findings from the project can guide the development of practice guidelines for administering the WF program in the retail clinic.

Full textAbstract:
Chemerin is a chemoattractant adipokine that regulates adipogenesis and may induce insulin resistance. Chemerin serum concentrations are elevated in obese, insulin-resistant, and inflammatory states in vivo. Here we investigate the role of omental (OM) and subcutaneous (SC) adipose tissue chemerin and CMKLR1 messenger RNA (mRNA) expression in human obesity. In addition, we test the hypothesis that changes in chemerin serum concentrations are primarily associated with reduced body fat mass in the context of 3 weight loss intervention studies. Chemerin serum concentration was measured in 740 individuals in a cross-sectional (n = 629) study including a subgroup (n = 161) for which OM and SC chemerin mRNA expression has been analyzed as well as in 3 interventions including 12 weeks of exercise (n = 60), 6 months of calorie-restricted diet (n = 19) studies, and 12 months after bariatric surgery (n = 32). Chemerin mRNA is significantly higher expressed in adipose tissue of patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus and correlates with circulating chemerin, body mass index (BMI), percentage body fat, C-reactive protein, homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance, and glucose infusion rate in euglycemic-hyperinsulinemic clamps. CMKLR1 mRNA expression was not significantly different between the 2 fat depots. Obesity surgery–induced weight loss causes a significant reduction on both OM and SC chemerin expression. All interventions led to significantly reduced chemerin serum concentrations. Decreased chemerin serum concentrations significantly correlate with improved glucose infusion rate and reduced C-reactive protein levels independently of changes in BMI. Insulin resistance and inflammation are BMI-independent predictors of elevated chemerin serum concentrations. Reduced chemerin expression and serum concentration may contribute to improved insulin sensitivity and subclinical inflammation beyond significant weight loss.

A morbidade e mortalidade por doenças cardiovasculares demonstram tendência geral de declínio, mas, em países em desenvolvimento como o Brasil a ocorrência destes eventos é crescente. A obesidade e principalmente a localização intraabdominal de gordura, relacionase com a ocorrência de doença crônica e diferentes tipos de dietas tem sido testados na busca pela efetiva redução da adiposidade. Fatores biológicos como a resistência à insulina pode interferir na resposta obtida com intervenções nutricionais. O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar se a perda de peso e as mudanças ocorridas na composição corporal de mulheres saudáveis, eutróficas ou com sobrepeso, submetidas a um programa de prevenção de ganho de peso foram influenciadas pela resistência à insulina no inicio da intervenção. Tratase de um estudo observacional prospectivo. 203 mulheres foram alocadas randomicamente para dieta de baixo e alto índice glicêmico. Destas, 185, foram avaliadas quanto a presença de resistência a insulina na linha de base, 34,6 % foram classificadas como resistentes a insulina segundo o índice HOMAIR, no ponto de corte 2,71. As medidas antropométricas de localização de gordura, circunferência da cintura (CC) e relação cintura quadril (RCQ) associaramse com a resistência a insulina do inicio do estudo, sendo a RCQ a mais fortemente associada (razão de prevalência: 2,28; p=0,0005, enquanto que para CC o valor foi 1,53; p=0,04). A análise da modificação do peso e das medidas antropométricas de composição corporal ao longo dos 6 meses de acompanhamento não demonstrou diferença estatisticamente significante entre os grupos com e sem resistência a insulina. Em conclusão, embora a resistência à insulina tenha se correlacionado com a localização de gordura avaliada principalmente pela relação cintura quadril no inicio do estudo, ela não foi capaz de explicar mudanças na composição corporal e de peso em resposta a uma intervenção nutricional.Morbidity and mortality caused by cardiovascular diseases show a general tendency to decline, but in developing countries, like Brazil, the occurrence of these events is increasing. Obesity and especially the location of intra-abdominal fat, is related to the occurrence of chronic disease and different types of diets have been tested in the search to effective reduction of adiposity. Biological factors such as insulin resistance can interfere with the response obtained with nutritional interventions. The aim of this study was to assess if the weight loss and the changes in the body composition of healthy women, normal weight or overweight, under a program for prevention of weight gain were influenced by the insulin resistance at the beginning of the intervention. This is a prospective observational study. 203 women have been randomly allocated to low and high glycemic index diets. Among these, 185 have been assessed for the presence of insulin resistance at baseline, 34.6% have been classified as insulin resistant according to the HOMA-IR, in the cut value of 2.71. The anthropometric measurements of fat location, waist circumference (WC) and waist hip ratio (WHR) associated with baseline insulin resistance, being the WHR the most strongly associated (prevalence ratio: 2.28, p = 0.0005, while for the WC the value was 1.53, p = 0.04). The analysis of weight modification and anthropometric measurements of body composition throughout the 6 months of follow-up, has not demonstrated statistical significant differences between the groups resistant and non resistant to insulin. In conclusion, although insulin resistance has been correlated to the location of fat mainly measured by waist hip ratio in the beginning of the study, it has not been able to explain changes in body composition and weight in response to a nutritional intervention.

Full textAbstract:
Aging, obesity and increased waist circumference (WC) increases risk for metabolic syndrome (MetS). MetS is a cluster of symptoms (elevated WC, triglycerides, blood pressure, fasting glucose, and decreased high-density lipoprotein cholesterol [HDL-C]) increasing risk for chronic disease. Low-energy dense (LED) diets, emphasizing whole food eating patterns, have not been examined in combination with moderate (mod)/high-intensity physical activity (PA) or dietary protein levels to determine their impact on changes in body weight (BW) and WC in premenopausal, abdominally obese women. PURPOSE: To determine the effect of two 16-wk diet and PA interventions, differing in protein intake, on BW, WC, MetS risk factors, dietary patterns, energy density (ED), and min of Mod-Hi PA. METHODS: Healthy, abdominally obese (WC≥80cm) women (n=38; 34±10y) were randomly assigned to either a 15 or 25% (+18 g/d whey protein) en from protein diet. Individualized LED diets plans decreased energy intake (EI) by ~300kcal/d; PA 5 d/wk (30-60 min/d) consisted of supervised, high-intensity Zumba classes 3d/wk (≥65%HRmax; ≥6METs) and self-selected mod-intensity PA (≥3METs) 2d/wk. Servings of fruits/vegetables, whole grains, and low-fat/fat-free dairy (LFD), fiber, high calorie beverages (BEV), ED, and PA were monitored before (T1), during (T2) and after (T3) the intervention using repeated measures ANOVA. Bonferroni simultaneous testing procedure was used in analysis of multiple comparisons. RESULTS: At T1, groups did not differ in dietary patterns, PA, BW, WC, or MetS risk. Groups responded similarly to the interventions so data were combined, with BW and WC decreasing (p<0.0001) by -4.8±2.7kg and -7.1±3.6cm, respectively. Comparing T1 vs. T2, there
were increases (p<0.0001) in fruits/vegetables, (Δ=+1.5 ser/d), whole grains (Δ=+1.0 ser/d), LFD (Δ=+0.5 ser/d), fiber (Δ=+5.7g/1000 kcal), and decreases in BEV (Δ=-165 kcal/d) and ED (Δ=-0.55 kcal/g). During the intervention high-intensity Zumba PA was 87min/wk; total min of all mod-intensity PA increased by 75 min/d (p<0.0001); VO2max improved from 29.3±4.7 (T1) to 34.4±5.3 (T3) mL/kg/min (p<0.0001). Triglycerides significantly decreased (-24±52 mg/dl; p=0.006), no other significant changes occurred in MetS risk factors. Exploratory analysis indicated that increases in fruits/vegetables and LFD, and decreases ED were associated with BW loss, while increases in whole grains, fiber, LFD, and min/wk of high-intensity PA (Zumba) were associated with WC reductions. CONCLUSION: For abdominally obese women, an intervention focused on LED foods and high-intensity PA significantly reduced BW and WC and improved dietary patterns regardless of protein intake. Helping clients identify a few key factors that positively promote reductions in BW and WC may improve weight loss success, while reducing MetS risk factors.Graduation date: 2012

Full textAbstract:
Chemerin is a chemoattractant adipokine that regulates adipogenesis and may induce insulin resistance. Chemerin serum concentrations are elevated in obese, insulin-resistant, and inflammatory states in vivo. Here we investigate the role of omental (OM) and subcutaneous (SC) adipose tissue chemerin and CMKLR1 messenger RNA (mRNA) expression in human obesity. In addition, we test the hypothesis that changes in chemerin serum concentrations are primarily associated with reduced body fat mass in the context of 3 weight loss intervention studies. Chemerin serum concentration was measured in 740 individuals in a cross-sectional (n = 629) study including a subgroup (n = 161) for which OM and SC chemerin mRNA expression has been analyzed as well as in 3 interventions including 12 weeks of exercise (n = 60), 6 months of calorie-restricted diet (n = 19) studies, and 12 months after bariatric surgery (n = 32). Chemerin mRNA is significantly higher expressed in adipose tissue of patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus and correlates with circulating chemerin, body mass index (BMI), percentage body fat, C-reactive protein, homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance, and glucose infusion rate in euglycemic-hyperinsulinemic clamps. CMKLR1 mRNA expression was not significantly different between the 2 fat depots. Obesity surgery–induced weight loss causes a significant reduction on both OM and SC chemerin expression. All interventions led to significantly reduced chemerin serum concentrations. Decreased chemerin serum concentrations significantly correlate with improved glucose infusion rate and reduced C-reactive protein levels independently of changes in BMI. Insulin resistance and inflammation are BMI-independent predictors of elevated chemerin serum concentrations. Reduced chemerin expression and serum concentration may contribute to improved insulin sensitivity and subclinical inflammation beyond significant weight loss.

Full textAbstract:
Background: Obesity is a complex disease that has an epidemic character affecting more than 1 billion people worldwide. Excessive accumulation of fat is associated with increased consumption of ultra-processed foods. This type of food provides large amounts of free sugars and saturated fats, which contribute to a high energy intake. It is well established that the main cause of obesity involves regulation between calories consumed and expended, however, this concept may be incomplete. Several methods can be explored to reduce body weight, however, for a healthy weight loss process, it is important to direct the individual to a balanced diet, with control of quantity, correct proportions of macronutrients, variety and combinations of different foods and nutrients. Objective: The aim of the study was to analyse the diet quality according to the food production process considering the different obesity degree by body mass index in a women sample. Methods: 139 women with obesity aged between 20 and 45 years old were included in this observational, cross-sectional study. Body composition and the three-day food record were analyzed. Results: The consumption of carboydrates (%), lipides (%) and monounsaturated fat (%) from ultra-processed foods were higher in the group with the highest BMI. However monounsaturated fat (%) from in nature foods was higher in the group with the lowest BMI. In addition, a positive association between carbohydrates (from ultra-processed foods) and waist circumference was observed. Conclusion: This investigation can stimulate public health programs to reinforce guidelines regarding the type of food procedure, giving priority to take care of the population's health by improving nutritional quality, preventing, and treating obesity in a multidisciplinary way.

Full textAbstract:
Aim: Obesity is a major public health burden in Qatar. Pharmacists can play an important role in providing weight management services (WMS). This study aimed to explore the attitude, practice, perceived competence and role of community pharmacists in obesity and WMS in Qatar. Methods: A mixed-method explanatory sequential design was applied in the study. A validated online questionnaire was used followed by qualitative one-to-one interviews. Quantitative data were analyzed using Statistical Package of Social Sciences Version 24, while qualitative data were analyzed using thematic analysis. Results: Of 600 randomly selected community pharmacists, 270 completed the survey (response rate 45%). More than half of the pharmacists indicated that they often or always explain to patients the risks associated with overweight and obesity (56.2%), recommend weight loss medications, herbs or dietary supplements (52.4%), and counsel about their proper use and/or side effects (56.9%). Conversely, a large proportion of the pharmacists rarely or never measure patients’ waist circumference (83.8%) or calculate their body mass index (72.1%). Over 80% had very positive attitudes towards their role in weight management. Around three-quarters of the participants agreed or strongly agreed that difficulty in following-up with the patient (80.7%), lack of private consultation area (75.7%) and lack of pharmacist time (75.2%) are barriers for implementing WMS. More than 60% stated that they are fully competent in 7 out of 24 WMS related statements. Some emerging include pharmacist’s role and impact in weight management, need for training about weight management, impact of social media on patients’ perceptions, and adoption of best practices for WMS. Conclusion: Qatar pharmacists reported positive attitudes towards provision of WMS. However, they identified several barriers against provision of comprehensive weight management programs. Several strategies are proposed to overcome barriers and to improve provision of WMS in community pharmacies in Qatar.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract The high-pressure/high-temperature (HPHT) environment poses different challenges for a cement design. In addition, there are challenges with the tight annular clearances across the liner overlap with the previous casing, and then finally achieving the desired top of cement. Engineering solutions and best practices can be implemented to overcome the challenges encountered while cementing under these conditions. A heavyweight engineered spacer with loss circulation material and an expandable-rotatable liner hanger were key components of the success. Thoughtful analysis of the equivalent circulating density (ECD) resulted in the design of the train of fluids with a density difference of no more than 0.5 ppg. However, to overcome the risk of losses, an engineered spacer with a tailored load of its main component based on extensive lab testing was used. The weighting agent was carefully selected to ensure stability and rheological hierarchy. The cement job was performed with backside pressure applied with Managed Pressure Cementing (MPC) to keep a constant downhole pressure. To improve displacement efficiency and enhance cement bonding, an expandable liner hanger was rotated throughout the entire job and set afterwards. The best practices implemented to cement the 9 5/8in liner resulted in performing the cement job without losses or flow. The ECD was kept within 5% from the mud weight density, based on the pressure match simulation. No abnormal pressures were observed while pumping and displacing indicating no settling issues were endured with the engineered spacer. Additionally, the liner hanger's unrestricted bypass area assisted in reducing the ECD's as no slips were required to keep it in place. The liner hanger was successfully rotated at 15 rpm throughout the job providing good cement placement. After the cementing job, the Liner hanger expanded successfully which confirmed the liner top integrity with a metal-to-metal seal. The expandable liner hanger also allows for less leak paths in the system along with providing high sealing and loading capability in high temperatures with a gas tight seal rating. After the wait on cement (WOC) time, the positive and negative tests were performed successfully meaning that a sustainable barrier was achieved. This paper describes a success story while cementing under HPHT conditions with very narrow margins between pore pressure and fracture gradient and depicts the best practices that contributed to the success of the job, such as using a heavyweight engineered spacer with LCM and an expandable/rotatable liner.
