Publications Staff Health Watch is a Public Service of the Office of News and Publications Obesity is associated with a number of health problems. Now there's another one to add to the list. The health risks of obesity have been widely reported. We know that obesity increases the risk for cardiovascular disease, high blood pressure and type 2 diabetes. It also appears to be a risk factor in some forms of cancer. Doctors at UT Southwestern Medical Center at Dallas say that obesity is also related to gallstone formation. Doctors have observed that obese people, particularly women, are more likely to develop gallstones. The bile in the livers of obese people has a higher amount of cholesterol in it, which makes it more likely for the cholesterol to crystallize and form gallstones. Doctors haven't yet discovered the exact metabolism behind this, but it's likely that in obese people, body tissues are overloaded with fatty acids, so that more cholesterol is produced than the liver can process.

Bile is a solution of water, salts, lecithin, cholesterol, and other substances. If the concentration of these components changes, they may precipitate from solution and form gallstones. Gallstones may be as small as a grain of sand, or they may become as large as an inch in diameter, depending on how much time has elapsed from their initial formation. Causes, incidence, and risk factors Return to top Gallstones often have no symptoms and are usually discovered incidentally by a routine x-ray , surgery, or autopsy.

Severe illness, alcohol abuse and, rarely, tumors of the gallbladder may also cause cholecystitis. The trapped bile becomes concentrated and causes irritation and pressure build-up in the gallbladder. This can lead to bacterial infection and perforation. Attacks may follow a large or fatty meal. Gallstones occur more frequently in women than men, and it becomes more common with age in both sexes. Native Americans have a higher incidence of gallstones.

The gallbladder is a pear-shaped organ that lies under the liver in your upper right abdomen. The gallbladder stores bile, a substance that helps digest fat and also carries away waste products from the liver. Bile is produced by the liver and contains many compounds, including cholesterol. Most gallstones are made of cholesterol, but other compounds can also cause gallstones. Usually acids in bile keep cholesterol from forming into stones. If the amount of cholesterol in the bile increases beyond the ability of acids to maintain the cholesterol in suspension, the cholesterol crystallizes and forms a stone. You thus have a stone in the gallbladder ("gallstones"). If you are overweight, diabetic, have high blood levels of cholesterol and/or fats (triglycerides), you increase your risk of developing gallstones.

Extractions: What is the gallbladder and what does it do? The gallbladder is a pouch that sits beside the liver and stores bile. Bile is a green-yellow fluid produced by the liver. After eating, the gallbladder releases bile into the intestines where it helps with digestion. Although the gallbladder helps with natural food digestion, people can live a normal life without it.

Related content Gastrointestinal Surgery Health education (including prevention and promotion) BMJ 1999;318:1646 ( 19 June ) Scott Gottlieb, New York Men who drink two to three cups of coffee a day have a 4% lower risk of developing gallstones than those who do not drink coffee regularly, and men who drink four or more cups a day have a 45% lower risk, according to a new study. But only coffee with caffeine, which is known to stimulate contractions in the gallbladder and lower cholesterol concentrations in bile, was associated with the lowered risk. Caffeinated tea and soda did not have the same effect, the researchers reported. The study, published by Dr Michael Leitzmann and colleagues at the Harvard School of Public Health, involved approximately 46 000 men drawn from the ongoing Health Professionals Follow Up Study, a prospective cohort study in which the consumption of coffee and other caffeinated drinks was assessed, starting in 1986, as part of a 131 item food frequency questionnaire given to male health professionals in the United States.

Extractions: Michael Leitzmann: We found a decrease of gallstone disease among coffee drinkers; we found that those drinking one cup a day had a 13% risk reduction; those drinking two to three cups a day had a 21% risk reduction and those drinking four or more cups a day had a 33% risk reduction of gallstone disease. So the more you drank, the lower the risk.

Extractions: Fact: It is true that every major health organization, as well as the U.S. government, endorses a low-fat diet in the unquestioned belief that fat causes heart disease. But are they right? A good deal of compelling evidence points in the opposite direction. A growing body of scientific literature demonstrates that a controlled carbohydrate eating plan, if followed correctly, promotes heart health and improves clinical health markers. One study, conducted by Jeff S. Volek, M.S., R.D., Ph.D., while at Ball State University, showed the positive effects of a controlled carbohydrate nutritional approach on triglyceride levels. The study consisted of 12 healthy men, ages 20 to 55, who followed a controlled carbohydrate program adhering to the Atkins protocols for eight weeks. Upon completion of the study, each participant lowered his triglyceride levels by an average of 55 percent

Extractions: National Institutes of Health Home ... Additional Reading If you are overweight or obese, you can lower your risk for type 2 diabetes, heart disease, stroke, and some forms of cancer by losing weight. People who are overweight are at greater risk for developing gallstones than people who are at a healthy weight. When choosing a weight-loss program, be aware that the risk for developing gallstones increases with quick weight loss or a large weight loss. Gradual weight loss can lower the risk for obesity-related gallstones. What are gallstones? Gallstones are clusters of solid material that form in the gallbladder. They are made mostly of cholesterol. Gallstones may occur as one large stone or as many small ones. They vary in size and may be as large as a golf ball or as small as a grain of sand. What causes gallstones? Gallstones develop in the gallbladder, a small pear-shaped organ beneath the liver on the right side of the abdomen. The gallbladder is about 3 inches long and an inch wide at its thickest part. It stores and releases bile into the intestine to help digestion. Bile is a liquid made by the liver. It contains water, cholesterol, bile salts, fats, proteins, and bilirubin, a bile pigment. During digestion, the gallbladder contracts to release bile into the intestine where the bile salts help to break down fat. Bile also dissolves excess cholesterol. According to researchers, gallstones may form in one of three ways: when bile contains more cholesterol than it can dissolve, when there is too much of certain proteins or other substance in the bile that causes cholesterol to form hard crystals, or when the gallbladder does not contract and empty its bile regularly.

Extractions: Category : Health Centers Digestive System Gallstones Alternate Names : Cholelithiasis Pictures and Images Attribution Gallstones are stones that form in the gallbladder. Most gallstones are crystals of cholesterol. Cholesterol is a waxy substance used for many body processes. Gallstones may also be crystals of calcium and bilirubin. Bilirubin is a by-product formed when red blood cells break down. What is going on in the body? The gallbladder stores bile. Bile is a liquid produced in the liver that aids in digestion. When a person eats, bile flows through a series of tubes or ducts into the intestines. It helps to break up food so that it can be used by the body. When bile is supersaturated with cholesterol or bilirubin, it may form the crystals known as gallstones. What are the causes and risks of the condition?
