Bias, Discrimination, and Obesity
Tập 9 Số 12 - Trang 788-805 - 2001
AbstractThis article reviews information on discriminatory attitudes and
behaviors against obese individuals, integrates this to show whether systematic
discrimination occurs and why, and discusses needed work in the field. Clear and
consistent stigmatization, and in some cases discrimination, can be documented
in three important areas of living: employment, education, and health care.
Among the f...
Parent‐Child Feeding Strategies and Their Relationships to Child Eating and Weight Status
Tập 12 Số 11 - Trang 1711-1722 - 2004
AbstractParental feeding styles may promote overeating or overweight in
children. A comprehensive literature review was undertaken to summarize the
associations between parental feeding styles and child eating and weight status.
Twenty‐two studies were identified. We systematically coded study attributes and
outcomes and tested for patterns of association. Nineteen studies (86%) reported
at least ...
Are Current Health Behavioral Change Models Helpful in Guiding Prevention of Weight Gain Efforts?
Tập 11 Số S10 - 2003
AbstractEffective procedures are needed to prevent the substantial increases in
adiposity that have been occurring among children and adults. Behavioral change
may occur as a result of changes in variables that mediate interventions. These
mediating variables have typically come from the theories or models used to
understand behavior. Seven categories of theories and models are reviewed to
define ...
Circulating Interleukin‐6 in Relation to Adiposity, Insulin Action, and Insulin Secretion
Tập 9 Số 7 - Trang 414-417 - 2001
AbstractObjective: Plasma concentrations of interleukin‐6 (IL‐6), a
proinflammatory cytokine produced and released in part by adipose tissue, are
elevated in people with obesity and type 2 diabetes. Because recent studies
suggest that markers of inflammation predict the development of type 2 diabetes,
we examined whether circulating plasma IL‐6 concentrations were related to
direct measures of ins...
Obesity in Older Adults: Technical Review and Position Statement of the American Society for Nutrition and NAASO, The Obesity Society
Tập 13 Số 11 - Trang 1849-1863 - 2005
AbstractObesity causes serious medical complications and impairs quality of
life. Moreover, in older persons, obesity can exacerbate the age‐related decline
in physical function and lead to frailty. However, appropriate treatment for
obesity in older persons is controversial because of the reduction in relative
health risks associated with increasing body mass index and the concern that
weight los...
Resistin, Adiponectin, Ghrelin, Leptin, and Proinflammatory Cytokines: Relationships in Obesity
Tập 12 Số 6 - Trang 962-971 - 2004
AbstractObjective: To evaluate interactions among leptin, adiponectin, resistin,
ghrelin, and proinflammatory cytokines [tumor necrosis factor receptors (TNFRs),
interleukin‐6 (IL‐6)] in nonmorbid and morbid obesity.Research Methods and
Procedures: We measured these hormones by immunoenzyme or radiometric assays in
117 nonmorbid and 57 morbidly obese patients, and in a subgroup of 34 morbidly
obes...
Neck Circumference as a Simple Screening Measure for Identifying Overweight and Obese Patients
Tập 9 Số 8 - Trang 470-477 - 2001
AbstractObjective: There are numerous methods of assessing overweight and
obesity. We undertook an observational study to test a method of identifying
overweight or obese patients solely by measuring the circumference of the
neck.Research Methods and Procedures: A test sample and a second validation
sample included 979 subjects (460 men and 519 women), who visited a family
medicine clinic in a sou...
Energy‐Dense Snack Food Intake in Adolescence: Longitudinal Relationship to Weight and Fatness
Tập 12 Số 3 - Trang 461-472 - 2004
AbstractObjective: The longitudinal relationship between the consumption of
energy‐dense snack (EDS) foods and relative weight change during adolescence is
uncertain. Using data from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology Growth and
Development Study, the current analysis was undertaken to examine the
longitudinal relationship of EDS food intake with relative weight status and
percentage body f...
Body Weight Loss and Weight Maintenance in Relation to Habitual Caffeine Intake and Green Tea Supplementation
Tập 13 Số 7 - Trang 1195-1204 - 2005
AbstractObjective: Investigation of the effect of a green tea‐caffeine mixture
on weight maintenance after body weight loss in moderately obese subjects in
relation to habitual caffeine intake.Research Methods and Procedures: A
randomized placebo‐controlled double blind parallel trial in 76 overweight and
moderately obese subjects, (BMI, 27.5 ± 2.7 kg/m2) matched for sex, age, BMI,
height, body ma...
Trends in Waist Circumference among U.S. Adults
Tập 11 Số 10 - Trang 1223-1231 - 2003
AbstractObjective: Waist circumference has been proposed as a measure of obesity
or as an adjunct to other anthropometric measures to determine obesity. Our
objective was to examine temporal trends in waist circumference among adults in
the U.S.Research Methods and Procedures: We used data from 15, 454 participants
≥20 years old in National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) III
(198...
