What has changed with obesity since 2007
= classified now as a chronic disease as a complex medical condition with lots of bias, stigma, and discrimination in patient-centrede care and outcoms beyond weight loss
Definition of Obesity and how should it be diagnosed and managed
- previously as BMI and not health
now - prevalent complex progressing and relapsing chronic disease charecterised by abnormal or excessive body fat that impairs health - BMI and wasit circumference used as screening tools
- diagnosis shoul dbe based on presense of functional medical or psychosocial impairemnets related to the presense of abnormal or excess body fat rather than on anthropometric measures alone
- should be managed using evidence based chronci disease managment validate lived experiences move beyond the simplistic approaches of eat less and move more address root drivers of obesity
- peopple who are living with obesity should have eccess to evidence informed interventions which should include medical nutrition therapy PA psychological interventions and pharmacotherapy
Recognizing and addressing weight bias
- people living with obesity face substantial bias and stigma which directly ipacts their health and well being as well as access to care
- health care providers should asess their own beliefs. and attitudes towards people living w obesity
also know about internalized weight bias the attitudes of people living with obesity affect behavioral and health outcomes
avoid using judgemental words images and practices when working with patients living with obesity - avoid making assumptions that an ailment or complaint a patient presents w is related to body weight
Appraoch to obesity management 1st A
Ask - recognition of obesity as a chronic disease by the health care providers who should ask the pateint permission to offer advice and help trat this disease in an unbiased manner
- acknowledge that obesoty is complex chronis and required individualised treatment and long term support
- weight bias check for it in urself
- dont addume all patients with obesity want to manage it
Aproach to obesity management - second A
Assess - assessment of an individual living with obesity using appropriate measurements, identifying the root causes complications and barriers to obesity treatment
- use the 5As identify root cause of weight gain barriers use the edmonton obesity staging system
- Stage 0-1 - does not meet clinical criteria for treatment no or mild symptoms no reason for treatment
- stage 2 - some symtoms and cobidities like T2D some psycological symtoms and moderate functional limitations
stage 3-4 significant or severe obesity related organ damange psychological symotms or functional limitations once you reach stage 4 its usually too laete
Approach to obesity management 3rd A
- advice - discussion of core treatment options (medical nutrition. therapy and physical activity and adjuctive therapies that may be required including psychological pharmacological and surgical interventions)
- medical nutrition therapy and PA apart of eny one of them but use in combo with adjunctive obesity treatments can be tailored to meet an. individuals health related or weight related outcomes liek oempic which reduces muscle and heart mass so best used if resistence training goes with it
- psychological interventions - behavioral modiciation cognitive behavioral therapy if they do not lose weight need to change the way we thing
- also things like bariatric surgery
Approach to obesity management 4th A
- Agree - agreement with the person living with obesity regarding goals of therpapy focuing mainly on the value that the person derived from health based interventions
- realistic expectations sustainable goals and personalised actions
Approach to obesity managemnt 5th a - Assist
- engagement by a health care provider with the individual with obesity in continued follow-up and reassessments and encouragement of advocacy to improve care for this chronic disease - identify and address drivers and barriers to timely followups etc
What is success for weight loss
- prevention of weight gain
losing weight - maintainng weight - depends on the person
What is considered clinically significant wieght loss
- losing more than 5 percent of baseline body weight - results in reduction in CVD and T2D factors using diet exercise meds surgery or a combo
General guidelines for obesity
- the min threshold to prevent weight gain according to ACSM is 150-250 min of PA a week to prevent weight gain greater than 3% ,
- neeed to ensure not too much of an energy imbalance
- resistence training not effective for loss but good for keeping muscle
- can be influenced by outside factors liek social going out getting offered food etc
Weight loss vs fat loss
- diet leads to a large decrease in body weight and fat mass but also a large decrease in muscle mass not good exercise alone leads to a decrease in body weight, fat mass, and maintenance in muscle but not as much muscle weight loss, so use them combined
How is exercise often described -
- FIIT and the total ol of PA determines amount of EE with the body weight volume is frequency times time or EE
Incresing EE for weight loss why it would or would not work
- would - effect on energy balance is proportional to increse in EE - increse in fat and CHo oxidation woul dbe expected to have favourable health consequences
- would not - achiveable amounts of exercise leads to small increses in EE and adherence to changes in exercise and PA is very poor also incresing EE is linked to a compensatory increse in EI
the most important thing here is what can you adhere to better losing weight this way as you can maintain uscle mass higher with the higher intensity groups but the weight regain was the same so make it easy to adhere to
Increasing exercise intensity for weight loss: why would it work or not work
Work - same EE in less time, greater imporvements in fitness and other factors, greater preservation of FFM, Decresed appetite -after high intensity exercise, variety and more enjoyable for some
- not work - less enjoyable acceptable, greater risk and safety and less self-efficacy and belief in the ability to perform such activities
Incresing exercise intensity for weight loss - best intensity, relative vs absolute fat oxidation, and evidence
- low intensity exercise maximized fat oxidation high intensity metabolises primarily CHO use the entensity that leads to highest EE
- proportion metabolised changes as intensity changes relative is the percent of total EE at low intensity fat burning relative greatest at 25 percent max intensity
- absolute - greatest for absolute fat oxidation at 65 percent EE
- evidence - overall vol of activity same for both groups but intensity changed, HIIT loses more weight then moderate due to factors like EPOC endorphin release and evidence the high intenisty decreses appeitete
What really matters in terms of weight loss
- ahereance to the plan - if you dont do the work nothing wil hapen have to stickl to it can imporve adhereance through things like minimizing costs reducing barriers simplifying plans reminders etc
Role of resistence training in weight loss work or not work
- increse in muscle mass is the number 1 predictor of function in later life
- work - increse in RMR increses in fat ocidation increse EE increse muscle mass if you have that muscle you wcan walk up stairs stay active for longer incresed TDEE
- not work - effect on FFM is small, effect on FFM during energy restriction is even smaller therefore effect on RMR is not meaningful, energy cost of resistence training is small
- May be more important in some populations like older adults to prevent the FFM loss that comes with dieting to maintain function as once you lose muscle masss when you are older very hard to get it back
Exercise for class 2 and 3 obesity why would it work and not work
work - contribute to negative energy balance
imporve health and quality of life
improved response to bariatric surgery
- not work
fitness too low to achive eaningful EE
too many comorbidities that coul dbe worsened by exercise like joint pain
time for exercise and fatigue from it could interfere with other activities
Why does everyone not respond the same to weight loss and exersice
adhereance compensatory behavior and other factors
What to consider for class 2 and 3 obeisty patients
- access to facilities eqipment
adapted exercise
adated places to sit and changing facilities
PA for class 2 and 3 obesity
- aerobic activity 30-60 mins for small amounts of body weight and fat loss
- reduction in abdominal viceral fat weight matienence incresed cardio fitness
Beyond weight loss what are the advantages of PA
- stay functional linger
quality of life imorvements in fat distribution of quality
prevention of weight regain and body comp - low fit individuals have twice teh risk of death
exercise capacity of vo2 max was the storngest predictor of death
increse of 1 met meant an increse of 12 percent in iporvement in survival
doesnt matter how you loose the weight but it does matter how you keep it off to prevent regain
