Increases were seen in both sexes and all socioeconomic classes, with the greatest increase seen in 18- to 29-year-olds and in those who have achieved higher education4 Obesity rates are underestimated because overweight people tend to underestimate their weight and overestimate their height5 Etiology Obesity is a chronic condition that develops as a result of an interaction between a person's genetic makeup and their environment.

At Health, Inc. Find a Therapist Click here Consumer Disorders and Conditions > Medication Treatment of Obesity advertisement Prescription Medicine for the Treatment of Obesity Medications That Promote Weight Loss Most available weight-loss medications are "appetite-suppressant" medications. Appetite-suppressant medications promote weight loss by decreasing appetite or increasing the feeling of being full. These medications decrease appetite by increasing serotonin or catecholaminetwo brain chemicals that affect mood and appetite. In 1999, the drug orlistat was approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) as an obesity treatment. Orlistat works by reducing the body's ability to absorb dietary fat by about one third. Table 1 - Prescription Weight-Loss Medications GENERIC NAME TRADE NAME(S) Dexfenfluramine Redux (withdrawn) Diethylpropion Tenuate, Tenuate dospan Fenfluramine Pondimin (withdrawn) Mazindol Sanorex, Mazanor Orlistat Xenical Phendimetrazine Bontril, Plegine, Prelu-2, X-Trozine Phentermine Adipex-P, Fastin, Ionamin, Oby-trim Sibutramine Meridia Single Drug Treatment Some antidepressant medications have been studied as appetite-suppressant medications. While these medications are FDA approved for the treatment of depression, their use in weight loss is an "off-label" use. Studies of these medications generally have found that patients lost modest amounts of weight for up to 6 months. However, most studies have found that patients who lost weight while taking antidepressant medications tended to regain weight while they were still on the drug treatment.

Magazine Keyword Leptin Linked to Blood Clots and Obesity A new risk factor for cardiovascular disease? Daniel Eitzman Photo: Martin Vloet The association between obesity and blood clots is well known; but the cause has remained a mystery. Now, new research with mice conducted by scientists at the University of Michigan Medical School and published in the April 3 issue of the Journal of the American Medical Association indicates that leptin may be responsible. Knowing how to block this leptin-receptor interaction could help prevent heart attacks and strokes in people who are either obese or overweight, which is half the adult population of the United States.
