Abstract:
Overweight and obesity are health problems that can affect many children and adolescents around the world. The literature has identified that the prevalence of overweight and obesity is high in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (Saudi Arabia) in children and adolescents attending schools in Saudi Arabia. Student counselling practices can be a cost effective way to help students to deal with overweight and obesity in Saudi schools. The aim of the study was to conduct an evidence-based review of the literature in order to suggest new approaches to applying student counselling services and programmes in order to directly combat overweight and obesity in schools in Saudi Arabia. The study used a non-empirical review of the literature on overweigh and obesity and on student counselling in the United Kingdom and Saudi Arabia. The study argues that in theory student counsellors in schools in Saudi Arabia are ideally placed to help to directly address and reduce the existing high prevalence of overweight and obesity in youths and adolescents attending schools in Saudi Arabia. This could be done using a combination of dietary interventions and counselling methods. The research study concludes that student counselling in schools in Saudi Arabia could potentially be used to directly help to combat and reduce levels of overweight and obesity among school children and adolescents in the long term.

Abstract:
Obesity and Periodontitis are two common chronic inflammatory diseases. Based upon the hypothesis that obesity associated systemic inflammation may affect susceptibility to chronic infectious diseases like periodontitis, the aim of this PhD programme was to investigate the association between overweight/obesity and periodontitis. Five studies were conducted: 1) a systematic review to summarise the current evidence on the association including a quantitative meta-analysis of odds ratios (ORs) for having periodontitis in overweight or obese individuals 2) a secondary analysis of individual patient data (n=333) ascertaining the association between overweight/obesity and the extent/severity and treatment response (2 months) of individuals with severe periodontitis 3) a case control analysis of 286 age-matched individuals to assess the odds of periodontitis diagnosis based on overweight or obese status, 4) a prospective cohort study (n=115) investigating the relationship between obesity and periodontal treatment clinical response, 5) a mechanistic study of twenty gingival specimens assessed for differential miRNAs expression between obese and normal weight individuals. Study 1 demonstrated a statistically significant association between overweight and obesity with diagnosis of periodontitis (ORs range= 1.8-2.3). In Study 2, obesity and overweight were statistically significant predictors of clinical periodontal response at 2 months (p<0.05) independently of dental plaque levels. Results from the Study 3 confirmed increased odds of diagnosis of periodontitis in overweight (OR=2.56) and obesity (OR=3.11) after adjusting for known confounders. Study 4 demonstrated that measures of body composition were predictors of poorer non-surgical periodontal treatment response (p<0.05). Study 5 confirmed statistically significant different miRNA signature profiles of gingival tissues between normal weight and obese individuals. In conclusion, this PhD programme provides evidence of a robust association between overweight/obesity and periodontitis prevalence, extent and severity, and treatment response. The results of this thesis support the classification of obesity as a risk indicator for periodontitis.

Abstract:
There is significant research evidence to demonstrate that physical activity can produce weight loss, weight maintenance and positive health effects in the overweight and obese. However, it can be difficult to get this population sufficiently active to achieve these benefits. This thesis reports on a series of studies that explore physical activity used alone and in conjunction with other weight management strategies. The primary aim was to gain a greater understanding about how weight loss and continued long term weight maintenance could be achieved. The first study was a systematic review on the dose of physical activity associated with weight loss and weight maintenance, it investigated if the current treatment dose was appropriate. The findings correlated with the recently published new CDC guidelines. In the second study, semi-structured interviews were employed to explore the attitudes and experiences of overweight and obese individuals towards weight loss and health. It was reported by participants that they prefer autonomy and personalisation to tailor weight loss and health strategies to their own lifestyles. It was also found that their knowledge base was confused and outdated. In the final study, a sample of overweight and obese adults took part in participatory action research with the aim to design and assess their own weight management programme. A multi-strategy weight management programme emerged that could be tailored to individual lifestyle. Tips and ideas were also devised to aid weight maintenance. This thesis found that the overweight and obese appeared to favour a multi-strategy weight management intervention that could be incorporated, personalised and tailored to their everyday lives. Physical activity (that was enjoyable, lifestyle or accomplished through accumulated bouts), dietary changes, education/improved knowledge base, support and weight monitoring all appeared to be important factors to aid weight management.

Abstract:
Individuals with overweight and obesity frequently underestimate their weight status and underestimation is more pronounced in areas with high rates of obesity. After a literature review in Chapter 1, Chapter 2 examines whether male overweight and obesity is visually underestimated and whether exposure to heavier bodies results in greater underestimation. In Study 1, 1000 participants estimated the weight status of men with normal weight, overweight and obesity in an online survey. The weight status of men with overweight and obesity was frequently underestimated. In Study 2, 90 participants reported how the size of their male peers compared to an overweight male and estimated the weight status of 10 men with overweight and obesity in a paper based survey. Those with heavier peers were more likely to underestimate overweight and obesity. Finally in Study 3, 230 participants completed a between-subjects, online study in which they were exposed to men with normal weight or obese BMI's or control images before estimating the weight status of a male with overweight. Exposure to slimmer bodies reduced underestimation of overweight. Chapter 3 examines whether male and female overweight and obesity is visually underestimated and whether visual body size norms explain why exposure to heavier bodies increases underestimation of overweight. In Study 1, 91 participants estimated the weight status of men and women with normal weight, overweight or obesity in an online survey. Male and female overweight and obesity was frequently underestimated. In Study 2, 79 participants reported visual body size norms and estimated the weight status of men and women with overweight in an online survey. Those who perceived larger bodies as being normal were more likely to underestimate overweight. Finally in Study 3, 290 participants completed an online, between-subjects study in which they were exposed to men or women with healthy weight or obesity, reported visual body size norms and estimated the weight status of a man or woman with overweight. Those exposed to obesity reported larger body size norms and were more likely to underestimate overweight. Some research suggests underestimation of overweight could be a barrier to weight loss whilst other studies find that identifying as overweight is associated with weight gain over time. As such, Chapter 4 examines whether the psychosocial experience of feeling overweight affects eating behaviour. In Study 1, 120 women participated in a between-subjects study, they wore an obese body suit or control clothing in public or private settings before tasting and rating snack foods. Women who wore the body suit ate more than women who wore the control clothing, regardless of setting. In Study 2, 150 men and women wore an obese body suit or control clothing before tasting snack foods. Women who wore the obese body suit ate more than women who wore the control clothing. There was no effect of clothing on male consumption. We examined possible mediators of this effect but did not find supporting evidence. This thesis suggests that overweight is frequently visually underestimated due to increases in obesity increasing the range of bodies which are perceived as being normal. Furthermore, identifying as overweight may lead to increased snack food consumption, but it is not clear why this occurs. Future research should identify the mechanism explaining why feeling overweight can lead to increased consumption, as this would inform the inclusion of additional support in weight loss interventions.

Abstract:

The prevalence of overweight and obese individuals has been a critical issue which has caused a worldwide concerns for the health threats, since it is burdened due to several linked diseases. This business plan proposes the establishment of a for-profit health clinic named NutriMed that provides a quality care and is mainly patient centered. This clinic provide the care to decrease the prevalence of overweight and obesity among the children of the ages 5 to 19 years. The functioning of this clinic is based on Barlow et al approach for prevention and treatment of obesity using the multidisciplinary team effort, which consist of physician, dietitian, exercise expert, nurse and behavioral therapist. The goal of this health clinic is to improve the health in the Los Angles community especially for children. This is done by identifying the priorities and striving for a patient-centered and evidence based approach to care. While this plan acknowledges the challenges in serving indigent populations, the clinic will contract with Medi-Cal and commit to continuous fundraising efforts to remain financially sustainable in order to improve the health of vulnerable Angelino’s children.

Abstract:
This study sought to examine whether participation in physical activity affects the ability to correctly classify body size, based on body mass index classifications. Secondarily, this study determined whether adolescents who incorrectly classified their body size overestimated or underestimated their size. Self-report data from the Youth Risk Behavior Surveillance Survey collected by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention were analyzed. Logistic regression was performed to examine relationships between self-perception of body size and physical activity, television viewing time, computer/video game use, physical education class time, and extracurricular sports activities. Significance was set to p<0.05. Physical activity was the only statistically significant independent variable (p=0.058, OR = 1.060). Although physical activity was shown to be statistically significant, it did not appear to meaningfully increase the ability of youth to correctly classify body size. Secondary analysis showed that adolescents who incorrectly classified their body size were more likely to underestimate their body size. Females more frequently underestimated their body size (females=673; males=384).

Abstract:
ABSTRACT Background: In Indonesia, obesity prevalence remains high, and North Sulawesi was the highest number of obesity prevalence in 2019, with 30.2% of the 2.5 million population classified as overweight. Eating behavior and sedentary life style contribute the overweight incidents. This study aimed to determine the factors affecting obesity in preschool children in upper Airmadidi, North Sulawesi. Subjects and Method: A cross-sectional study was conducted in Airmadidi, North Sulawesi. A sample of 64 preschool children was selected for this study. The dependent variable was overweight. The independent variables were consumption of fried foods, diet intake, and sedentary lifestyle. The body mass index was measured by weight scale and microtoise. The data were analyzed by Pearson correlation. Results: As many as 17 preschool children were identified as overweight (Mean= 17.65; SD= 0.52) and 16 preschool children were obese (Mean= 19.05; SD= 0.94). There was a positive correlation of overweight in students with fried foods consumption (0.87), diet intake, (0.86), and sedentary life style (0.97). There was a positive correlation of obese in preschool children with fried foods consumption (0.84) and sedentary life style (0.81). Conclusion: Overweight and obese in preschool children are positively correlated with fried foods consumption, diet intake, and sedentary life style.

Abstract:
Background: The upward trend in adolescent hypertension is widely attributed to the adolescent overweight and obesity epidemic. Because of their high-risk status, intervention in overweight adolescents with associated comorbidities, such as hypertension, should be considered. The purpose of this study was to examine association between overweight and hypertension in adolescents. Subjects and Method: This was a meta-analysis and systematic review. The articles were obtained from PubMed, Springer Link, and Google Scholar databases, which published from 2006 to 2020. Keywords used “hypertension” AND “adolescents” AND” obesity” AND “risk factor of obesity” AND “cross-sectional” AND “adjusted odds ratio”. The inclusion criteria were full-text, using English language, and reporting Odds ratio. The study population was adolescents. The intervention was overweight with comparison non overweight. The study outcome was hypertension. The articles were reviewed by PRISMA diagram and analyzed by RevMan 5.3. Results: 8 articles from Ethiopia, Spanyol, Canada, Taiwan, Lithuania, United States, and Malaysia were met criteria. The data analysis found low heterogeneity between groups (I2= 40%; p=0.110), so it used fixed effect model. This meta-analysis study reported that overweight increases the risk of hypertension in adolescents (aOR= 3.32; 95% CI= 3.02 to 3.66; p<0.001). Conclusion: Overweight increases the risk of hypertension in adolescents. Keywords: overweight, hypertension, adolescents Correspondence: Fadhila Firmanurulita.

Abstract:
Obesity is now replacing undernutrition and infectious diseases as the leading cause of ill health. It is considered as one of the greatest medical challenges to health in the United States; over 65% of American adults are either overweight or obese leading to 320,000 deaths each year in the United States (Kopelman, 2005). The annual medical costs of obesity in the United States are enormous (Bhattacharya and Bundorf, 2009). Globally, according to the World Health Organization, there are more than one billion overweight adults, of which at least 300 million are clinically obese. A recent National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) data (2003–2006) has showed that for children aged 6–11 years and 12–19 years, the prevalence of overweight was 17.0% and 17.6%, respectively.

Full text
Abstract:
This paper applies probit regression models to a nationally representative household survey dataset collected in 2016-2017 to analyze the relationships between various socio-demographic variables and adult Body Mass Index (BMI) in Suriname. Our results indicate that women, the elderly, and couples either married and/or living together are more likely to be obese or overweight. As expected, this is also true for individuals who have chronic illnesses. The analysis also finds that individuals who engage in a sport or in other forms of exercise, even if modest, have lower odds of being overweight or obese. Interestingly, the findings indicate that individuals who benefit from government social safety net programs are less likely to be associated with being overweight or obese. The results of this study have implications for the adjustment of current Surinamese nutritional guidelines as well as the design and implementation of targeted obesity-reduction policies that recognize that being overweight is influenced by various characteristics. Although the results are country-specific, they have the potential to influence action in all countries in the Caribbean that lack policies to address obesity.

Abstract:
The increasing consumption of industrially processed convenience foods, soft drinks, and fast foods has been associated with a rise in non-communicable diseases, overweight and obesity. This building block explores the concept of ultra-processed food: how it has been defined, and differing views as to whether it is a useful way of thinking about food and its relation to health and wider sustainability concerns.
