Nutrition in the Prevention and Treatment of Abdominal Obesity focuses on the important roles that exercise, dietary changes, and foods play in promoting as well as reducing visceral fat. Nutritionists, dieticians, and healthcare providers seeking to address the abdominal obesity epidemic will use this comprehensive resource as a tool in their long-term goal of preventing chronic diseases, especially heart, vascular, and diabetic diseases. Experts from a broad range of disciplines are involved in dealing with the consequences of excessive abdominal fat: cardiology, diabetes research, studies of lipids, endocrinology and metabolism, nutrition, obesity, and exercise physiology. They have contributed chapters that define a range of dietary approaches to reducing risk and associated chronic diseases. They begin by defining visceral obesity and its major outcomes; they also discuss the importance and the challenges of dietary approaches to reduce abdominal obesity, as compared to clinical approaches, with major costs and risks. Offers detailed, well-documented reviews outlining the various dietary approaches to visceral obesity with their benefits and failures Includes chapters on types of foods, exercise, and supplements in reducing obesity and its chronic clinical companions, especially diabetes and cardiovascular disease Helps nutritionists, dieticians, and healthcare providers approach patients in making decision about nutritional therapies and clinical treatments for abdominal obesity, from an evidence-based perspective

The overall aim was to contribute to the development of effective self-management lifestyle education for management of cardiovascular and diabetes risk in people with metabolic syndrome (MetS). An additional aim was to elicit views on the use of waist circumference measurement to assess health risk due to overweight and obesity, and identify strategies to promote waist measurement. A qualitative study was conducted to determine the knowledge and attitudes of patients and primary care health practitioners concerning waist size measurement. A systematic review (and meta-analysis) was conducted to review the existing evidence on effectiveness of interventions for reducing diabetes and cardiovascular risk in people with MetS. An evidence based group lifestyle education programme was developed and tested in a randomised controlled trial: The Reversal Intervention for Metabolic Syndrome (TRIMS) study. Key findings: -Healthcare professionals were generally aware of a link between a large waist size and health risks; practical barriers to using waist measurement included lack of time, extra workload and financial implications. For patients, being given an explanation of the assessment appeared to be what was most important to them. -The benefits of both lifestyle and pharmacological interventions to reverse MetS were indicated, by the meta-analysis, with lifestyle being the most effective. -The TRIMS education programme was well received; people felt positive about making lifestyle changes and improving their future health. -After 6-months follow-up the TRIMS programme was effective at reducing waist size, hip circumference, weight, and body mass index, and increasing unsaturated fat intake; reversal of MetS was not significantly different between the intervention and control groups. Based on the findings from this programme of work, recommendations are provided for future research and clinical practice in order to promote better management of cardiovascular and diabetes risk in people with MetS.

This technical report describes a body weight classification system for Canadian adults, including the development, uses, interpretations, and limitations of the system. The weight classification system can be used to identify weight-related health risks in the population & in individuals age 18 or over. It provides a scheme for categorizing health risk according to body weight as measured by the body mass index and waist circumference. Information is included on how to calculate the body mass index, the cut-off points for the different weight categories, and the rationale & justification for changes made to update the system.

Waist circumference (WC) measurement is a reliable indicator of preventable, central obesity-related, disease risk. Despite its predictive value, it is rarely measured in primary care (PC) settings. The absence of WC screening may be problematic for older adults. Older adults have higher rates of central obesity and greater risk for central obesity-related disease, such as Type 2 Diabetes (T2D), as compared to younger adults. Early detection of central obesity along with central obesity T2D disease risk education may prevent, delay, or control T2D in older adults. ☐ It is unknown if WC measurement and central obesity T2D disease risk education affects community-based older adults' (a) acceptance of and willingness toward WC measurement, (b) perceived susceptibility to T2D and perceived benefits of WC measurement, and (c) health behaviors of physical activity and dietary behaviors. This study examined the effect of WC measurement and central obesity T2D disease risk education in comparison to the effect of the current standard practice of body mass index (BMI) calculation and obesity classification in PC. The Health Belief Model constructs of perceived susceptibility, perceived benefits, and cues to action were integral to this study design. It was hypothesized that two experimental cues to action, (a) WC measurement and (b) central obesity T2D disease risk education would have a greater effect on acceptance of and willingness toward WC measurement, perceived susceptibility for T2D, perceived benefit of WC measurement, physical activity, and dietary behaviors than two control cues to action (c) BMI and (d) obesity classification in community-based older adults. ☐ This study found that 92% of the participants in this study reported never having WC measurement in the PC setting and 75% reported never having BMI calculation in the PC setting. The lack of BMI experience in both groups may have caused BMI calculation and obesity classification to function as interventional cues to action in both groups rather than control cues to action. The sample was educated and physically active. High baseline findings associated with (a) acceptance of and willingness toward WC measurement, (b) perceived susceptibility, and (c) physical activity, limited measurement of significant change at posttest. There was a significant change in perceived benefits of WC measurement and BMI calculation, as well as willingness to exercise in the experimental group compared to the control group. Changes in dietary behaviors were non-significant. ☐ High baseline acceptance of, and willingness toward, WC measurement in the absence of WC measurement experience, supports acceptability of WC measurement among community-based older adults. Combined use of WC measurement and BMI calculation is recommended in PC settings to influence community-based older adults' perceived benefits and to motivate change in health behaviors.

Doctoral Thesis / Dissertation from the year 2013 in the subject Pharmacology, grade: A, , course: Pharm. D, language: English, abstract: This study was performed in the department of pharmacy practice clinical research centers of MGM hospitals; Warangal in 2013. The Study group includes 150 subjects of non-teaching staff members of government and private school of Warangal. There were 44 women and 106 men. At the point of entry into the study group of all the study subjects written informed consent from before stating of research work. Data was collected by trained Pharm D and M. Pharmacy paramedical students. The exclusion criterion was the co-existence of any other serious elements. A total number of 32 subjects were found to be normotensive in which 25 (17%) were men and 7 (5%) were women. Overall, 26 subjects were found to be pre-hypertensives whereas, 20 (13%) were men. A total number of 8 (5%) subject were found to be hypertensive of which 6(4%) men and 2 (1.3%) women. Our results highlighted that the waist circumference seems to have a strong association with the risk of hypertension, especially among men than women. In future studies should investigate lipid profile of study subjects to correlate hypertension management regardless of gender or age. Hypertension is a major public health problem world-wide and is one of the risk factors for coronary artery disease. The objective of the present study was to determine the relative role of abdominal fat accumulation on the relationship between excess body weight, and high blood pressure among men and women of non-teaching staff members of public school of Warangal.
