Following through on a commitment to bring researchers together to discuss the issue, NLCAHR organized a full-day forum on October 27 featuring national and local research on obesity. Institute of Nutrition Peter Canada Dr. Guang Sun, a genetics researcher at Memorial, said the reasons for the rising prevalence of obesity include inadequate physical activity, combined with excessive caloric consumption from high fat, high carbohydrate food, with more soft drinks consumed than milk. He said more than 430 genes are linked to obesity. His own research includes a study of over 1,100 individuals and he said personal genetic profiles can provide key information for diagnosis and intervention.

Home Obesity and depression linked Dr. Tanis Adey Dr. Tanis Adey, Psychiatry, said that there is a growing trend of obesity in Canada, and it is associated with other diseases such as hypertension, type 2 diabetes mellitus and ischemic heart disease. But while it is generally accepted by most health care professionals that there is an association between obesity and depression, she explained that this has not been consistently substantiated in well-designed studies. So with co-investigators.Caroline McCallum, Tahmir El-Tahan, Yvonne Tobin and Dr. Proton Rahman, a new study was designed to measure the degree of depression among obese subjects. Numerous instant calculators of body mass index (BMI) are readily available on the Web, but if you want to figure it out the old-fashioned way the pounds/inches BMI formula is: Your weight (in pounds) times 704.5 divided by your height (in inches) times your height in inches. A 5 ft. 4 inch female weighing 120 pounds at age 30 has a healthy weight; that same woman at 160 pounds is overweight and at 240 pounds is severely obese. The health risks of obesity include twice the incidence of high blood pressure and stroke, four times the incidence of diabetes, twice the incidence of coronary heart disease in men under 45, and an association with an increased risk of breast cancer (after menopause), womb cancer, kidney cancer and gall bladder disease.

More UF News Search UF UF Home Page UF COLLEGE OF MEDICINE RESEARCHERS REPORT LINK BETWEEN OVEREATING, OBESITY AND ADDICTION July 8, 2004 Contact Information University of Florida addiction researchers say mounting evidence suggests chronic overeating can be a form of substance abuse, and that illicit drugs snare users because they engage brain pathways associated with appetite and the enjoyment of food. Obesity is the second most common cause of premature death in the United States, and is predicted to overtake tobacco use as the No. 1 cause within a few years, he said. About 24 percent of U.S. adults aged 20 years and older are obese, according to estimates from a 2003 National Center for Health Statistics survey. The UF research suggests obesity may be a hidden hazard for people starting on the road to sobriety. Treatment for drug or alcohol addiction may be more likely to succeed if it includes a plan for a healthy diet and regular exercise, according to one of the papers Gold co-authored. A case-history review of 75 teenagers undergoing long-term residential drug treatment showed they gained an average of 11 pounds during the first 60 days, a change researchers believe may have happened to compensate for the loss of brain stimulation when drug use ended. The patients were monitored with urine screens to ensure they remained drug-free during treatment.

ACPM recognizes that factors other than diet, including but not limited to physical activity, genetics, environmental exposures, and public policies influence these conditions. This statement is limited to consideration of dietary pattern, specifically in response to the promotion and popularity of unconventional dietary regimens for weight control. The College position is intended to lend guidance and clarity to practitioners and the public alike. The position espoused is subject to change as new scientific evidence accrues.

Organizations/Links Focus Issue: Overweight and Obesity ACPM has selected adolescent overweight as a focus because the intersection of clinical interventions, especially screening and counseling, and public health interventions makes adolescent overweight/obesity especially well-suited for action by preventive medicine professionals. Overweight and obesity puts young people at risk of developing diabetes and premature heart disease later in life. As with other adolescent health behaviors, the factors determining whether or not a young person becomes overweight are quite complex. Resources in this section include the areas of nutrition and physical activity.

Overweight refers to excess body weight compared to normal standards. The excess weight may come from muscle, bone, fat, and/or body water. Obesity refers specifically to having an abnormally high proportion of body fat. Healthcare practitioners use a number of methods to determine if an individual is overweight or obese. Body mass index, or BMI, is the measurement used to assess whether a person is overweight or obese. BMI is calculated using a mathematical formula that takes into account both a person's height and weight. A person is considered overweight if they have a BMI of between 25 and 29.9. A BMI of more than 30 is generally considered a sign of moderate to severe obesity. Signs and Symptoms Most practitioners use the following BMI ranges as indications that a person is overweight or obese: BMI 25 to 29.9 (overweight)

Home About Us Departments Send an e-Card ... Your Hospital Visit 171 Ashley Ave. Charleston, SC 29425 800-424-MUSC Print Version Adolescent Medicine Obesity What is obesity? Obesity is defined as a generalized accumulation of body fat. Obesity is determined by measuring both the height and weight of the adolescent. An adolescent is considered obese if he/she is significantly over the ideal weight for his/her height. Overweight is defined as increased body size with increased lean body mass and without excess accumulation of body fat. A uniform standard to separate obesity from overweight has not been established. Research studies suggest that overweight adolescents may become overweight adults. What causes obesity? During the 1990s, one physiologist proposed a "set point theory" which has continued to gain support. The set point theory suggests that weight is determined by complex interactions of neural, hormonal, and metabolic factors. Genetic and familial influences contribute to metabolic rates and physical activity levels important to energy expenditure. Some effort is now being made to address two types of obesity: obesity with specific organic etiology (endogenous) obesity caused by simple excessive caloric intake, genetic/familial, psychogenic and mixed factors (exogenous)
