Warning signs for Diabetes
- frequent urination/unusual thirst
- extreme hunger
- rapid weight loss, weakness, and fatigue
- irritability, nausea, and vomiting
Types of diabetes
Type 1 - inability to produce insulin - lack of insulin - Develops early in life - 5-10% diabetic population Type 2 - inability to respond to insulin - resistance to insulin - associated with upper-body obesity - 90-95% diabetic population
Ketosis
- metabolic acidosis from accumulation of ketone bodies
- due to excessive fat metabolism
Major concern of type 1 diabetes
Hypoglycemia
- may result in insulin shock
Prevention or delay of type 2 diabetes
Impaired fasting glucose - fasting bg 100-125 mg/dl Impaired glucose tolerance - oral glucose tolerance test - 75 g glucose Prediabetes - having IFG or IGT
Exercise induced asthma
- does not necessarily impair performance if controlled
- treatment- medications to prevent attack prior to exercise
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
- can severely limit normal activities l
- often have a lower exercise tolerance than cardiac patients
Hypertension
Classification
- normal- systolic bp <120 and diastolic <80 mmhg
- hypertension- systolic >140 or diastolic >90
Or equal to
Cardiac rehabilitation
Angioplasty
- balloon-tipped catheter used to open occluded arteries
Exercise for older adults
Benefits for participation - improved risk factor profile - increased strength and VO2max (endurance) - increased bone mass Recommendations - similar to younger subjects
Exercise during pregnancy
- regular endurance exercise poses little risk to fetus and is beneficial for mother
- no supine exercise after first trimester
Institute of medicine dietary recommendations (2002)
45-65% calories from carbs
20-35% calories from fat
10-35% from protein
Excerpts from dietary guidelines for Americans (2005)
- consume variety of nutrient dense foods and beverages within and among the basic food groups
- choose foods that limit the intake of saturated and trans fats, cholesterol, added sugars, salt and alcohol
- maintain body weight in a health range- balance calories from foods and beverages with calories expended- engage in regular physical activity and reduce sedentary activities
Dietary reference intakes DRIs
Estimated average requirement (EAR)
- the intake estimated to meet requirements of half of healthy people
Vitamins (fat)
Fat soluble vitamins
- A,D,E,K
- can be stored in the body
- excess intake can be toxic
Calcium
- important in teeth and bone structure
- osteoporosis
- adequate intake of calcium can reduce rates of bone fractures, especially in elderly
Iron
Component of hemoglobin
-anemia
Sodium
Associated with hypertension
- in sodium-sensitive individuals
Proteins
4 cals*gram
Fats
9 cals*gram
- Hugh density lipoproteins (HDL)
- protect against heart disease
Carbs
Sugars and starches
- 4carb*gram
- dietary fiber- feel fuller longer
- non digestible carbs and lignin- reduces transit time in intestine- soluble fiber linked to lower serum cholesterol
Methods of assessing overweight and obesity
Body mass index
- underweight bmi <18.5
- normal bmi <18.5-24.9
- overweight bmi 25-29.9
- obesity bmi >=30
- no way to tell actual body composition
- a very muscular person could be obese
Methods of measuring body comp
Hydrostatic (underwater) weighing
Bioelectrical impedance analysis
Air displacement plethysmography- measurement of body density- bod pod system
Skinfold thickness- estimate of total body fatness
Percent body fat value error
+-2-2.5% due to normal biological variation of the fat free mass
