obesity Flashcards
(16 cards)
4 types of body image
perceptual body image, how you see your body
affective body image, the way you feel about your body
cognitive body image, the way you think about your body
behavioural body image , behaviours in which you engage as a result of your body image
9 health consequences of anorexia
anaemia
compromised immune system
intestinal issues
loss or disturbance of menstruation
increased risk of anorexia in men and women
kidney failure
osteoporosis
heart failure
death
4 types of eating disorders
- anorexia nervosa
- bulimia nervosa
- binge eating disorder
- disordered eating and dieting
6 ways bulimia nervosa appear
- binge eating
- vomiting
- misusing laxatives and diuretics
- fasting then binging
- excess exercise
- use of drugs inappropriately for weight control
6 ways disordered eating shows
Fasting or chronic restrained eating
Skipping meals
Restrictive dieting
Unbalanced eating (e.g. restricting a major food group
Laxative, diuretic, enema misuse
Steroid and creatine use
Using ‘diet’ pills
3 functions of leptin
long term regulation of energy balance
suppresses energy intake and induces weight loss
influences appetite control in the hypothalamus inhibiting appetite
3 ways leptin can cause obesity
leptin resistance?
defective obesity gene so not enough produced
defective receptor activation so resistance to satiety
rolwe of leptin in starvation, 3
leptin levels fall in starvation out of proportion to the loss of muscle mass
leptin has an effect on regulating neuroendocrine adaptation to starvation
this has an effective on reducing fertility, shown in lack of menstruation in anorexia
ghrelin, what is , when, what do, where made
- fast acting hormone playing a role in meal initiation
- produced in the stomach and pancreases
- levels increase before meals and decrease after meals
- stimulates hunger
8 impacts of obesity syndrome
glucose intolerance leading to type 2 diabetes
inflammation and increase in angiotensinogen leads to hypotension and CHD
hyperlipidaemia and increased plasminogen activator inhibitor leads to thrombosis and stroke
increased visceral adipose tissue causes fatty liver disease
increase risk of cancer due to increase in inflammation
skin problems due to physical and inflammatory effects
sleep apnoea
risk of varicose veins and ulcers
4 benefits of weight loss
reduced risk of, hypertension, type 2, cardiovascular disease, mortality
3 stages of treatment
1 - phsycial activity, diet, lifestyle changes
2 - pharmacological therapy
3 - surgery
2 benefits of diet plus excersise
exercise enhances fat metabolization from adipose depots and fat breakdown
protects against protein loss, improve insulin sensitivity
orlistat how take, dose,
take with food, 120mg POM, 60mg ali andf 27mg chewable OTC
orlistat mechanism of action
Inhibits pancreatic lipase and increases excretion of dietary triglycerides AND/OR Prevents approximately 30% of dietary fat from being absorbed
semaglutide mechanism of action
binds to, and activates, the GLP-1 receptor AND/OR increase insulin secretion, suppress glucagon secretion, slow gastric emptying, reduce apetite and weight loss
