Abstract:
Many children with excess weight and obesity struggle with comorbid psychiatric disorders and family stressors. These dual diagnosis presentations may be underestimated in epidemiologic surveys and frequently constitute exclusion criteria in childhood obesity treatment studies. As a result, clinical paradigms for this population are lacking and even multispecialty pediatric obesity centers do not provide comprehensive services to these children and their families. Hence, the need for this article, which is a preliminary exploration of possible dynamic mechanisms connecting several psychiatric diagnoses in childhood and excess weight. Based on correlations reported in the literature, depression, oppositional disorder, and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder are offered as examples of linear and reciprocal relationships between the two conditions. Notably, eating may be viewed as a means of regulating emotion (depression) and family conflict (oppositionalism) as well as reflecting a lack of regulation (attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder). This article will hopefully generate subsequent research efforts in this area and enhance practitioner awareness of the complexity of providing effective services to this population.

Full text
Abstract:
Purpose: The primary purpose of this research study was to assess the degree of agreement between simple anthropometric measurements (i.e. body mass index, waist circumference, hip circumference, and waist-to-hip ratio) and the measures of regional adiposity, with a primary focus on the androidlgynoid ratio, assessed using dual energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA). This secondary purpose of the study was to identify any significant correlations between the measures of regional adiposity, physical activity, and cardiovascular risk factors. Methods: Forty-eight subjects, 19 males (48.7 ± 16.9 years) and 29 females (43.6 ± 16.2 years), volunteered to participate in this study. Subjects underwent laboratory testing compromised of resting blood pressure, blood lipid analysis, waist & hip circumference, total body DXA scan, and a one week physical activity assessment. Results: Significant correlations were observed between body mass index and region body fat % (r = 0.84, 0.79), waist circumference and android fat % (r = 0.79, 0.75), and waist-to-hip ratio and androidlgynoid ratio (r = 0.72, 0.61) for men and women, respectively. Fasting insulin was correlated with region body fat %, android body fat %, trunk body fat %, and the android/gynoid ratio. The android/gynoid ratio was correlated with high density lipoproteins, very low density lipoproteins, triglycerides, and fasting glucose. There was a statistically significant negative relationship observed between average steps per day and body mass index, waist circumference, hip circumference, region body fat %, android body fat %, and trunk body fat %. Conclusions: This study found that there are strong relationships between simple anthropometric measures and regional body fat measures from the DXA. According to the data in the present study, body mass index, waist circumference, and waist-to-hip ratio provide simple yet sensitive methods for the estimation of regional body fat in Caucasian males and females. In addition, this study found significant correlations between measures of the blood lipid profile, physical activity, and both simple anthropometric and DXA measures of regional body fat. Key words: android fat, body mass index, dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry, gynoid fat, obesity, waist circumference.

Abstract:

Background: Obesity has recently been classified by the American Medical Association (AMA) as a disease which, if unrecognized and unaddressed in childhood, causes multiple medical and psychological complications that can impact both personal and population health. Unprecedented funding is being invested in electronic health records to improve quality, safety, and delivery of healthcare and reduce healthcare costs. Scant literature has evaluated the use of aids in the electronic health record (EHR) to identify obesity.

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to determine to what extent the tools available in an EHR for automatic Body Mass Index (BMI) calculation based on height and weight documentation are used by pediatricians to correctly identify obesity in children. Secondary objectives were to evaluate quality of data input (discrete vs. free text) and see if there is any variation in rates of identification among patients of different socio-demographic characteristics and trainees of different levels.

Methods: We conducted a retrospective chart review for patients aged 2–18 years seen for a well-child visit at New York Presbyterian Hospital between January 2011 and January 2014, where it is standard practice at these visits to take height and weight measurements. The EHR automatically populates these values onto growth curves, converting them into BMI with percentiles. Standardized definitions from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) 2010 were used to qualify overweight and obese based on BMI. We determined the percentage of patients who were overweight or obese (based on CDC percentiles) that had the diagnosis identified by the pediatrician, and then assessed the quality of data input. We assessed laboratory follow up and referrals for all patients, and assessed for demographic differences among patients properly and not properly documented by providers as obese or overweight.

Results: We reviewed 700 charts in total. Inclusion criteria were all of the patients who had a BMI between 85–95% (these were grouped as overweight) and a BMI over 95% (obese). 209 patients were overweight or obese and therefore eligible for inclusion. Of the 209 clinically overweight/obese children, 72.2% had some form of documentation of this diagnosis, although the diagnosis was documented more often in the obese vs. overweight child. The diagnosis was most often captured electronically in the free text progress note. Over half of clinically overweight/obese children aged ≥8 years did not receive follow-up standard laboratory testing, and only about one-quarter of clinically overweight/obese children had documented in-office nutrition guidance. Diagnosis of overweight was higher in females, but it was almost twice as likely that an obese male would be documented as such. Results showed no identification variation based on age or race/ethnicity. There was no difference in recognition of obesity/overweight based on postgraduate year (PGY) or nurse practitioner (NP) status.

Conclusion: Despite its importance as a public health priority for children, automatic calculation of BMI by use of an EHR led to documentation by a provider as a child being overweight/obese only three quarters of the time. This study suggests that despite increasing focus on using EHRs to improve individual and population health, including for obesity, clinical decision support remains underutilized.

Abstract:
Since 1980, the obesity rate in children 5 to 11 years of age has increased from 7% to 18%. The lack of structured physical activity and poor dietary habits childhood are primary risk factors for obesity related comorbidities in adulthood. Guided by primary care providers, families can reverse childhood obesity by implementing healthy dietary habits and engaging in structured physical activity. The purpose of this quality improvement project was to develop an evidenced-based policy with procedures to standardize the timely and consistent identification of overweight children at a primary care clinic serving military families. With an emphasis on obesity prevention within families through primary care interventions, the revised health belief model guided the project design. A literature review was conducted in a systematic manner to identify effective strategies and interventions to inform the policy development. Then, the Delphi technique guided a 12-member expert panel to evaluate the policy and procedures in terms of the level of evidence and the implementation plan with the goal of achieving consensus with recommendations for revisions. Consensus was achieved with multiple revisions following the completion of two Delphi rounds. The first panel session (n=12) concluded with a 70% consensus, including recommended revisions to improve the policy implementation. The second panel session (n=12) concluded with 100% consensus for the revised policy. The final policy and procedures addressed the clinical practice gap with a robust process to identify, counsel, and refer overweight children to external specialty programs for obesity management. By intervening to reverse the progression of childhood obesity, this project achieved positive social change at an organization level.

Abstract:
This thesis is an ethnographic exploration of the impact of genetic research on how obesity is understood, explained and experienced across scientific, political, personal and familial terrains. This thesis draws on three main areas of data: the historical, biomedical and scientific literature concerning obesity and causation; ethnographic work with Genetics of Obesity Study (GOOS) across the laboratory and clinical research facility conducted between November 2003 and August 2006; and ethnographic work and qualitative interviews conducted with up to three generations from 21 families recruited to GOOS. In short, the data suggested that a genetic diagnosis for obesity raises several different issues to those associated with other genetic conditions. In western societies, obesity is often equated with negative body image and health risks resulting in stigmatisation and blame being directed toward the individual and in the case of childhood obesity, also toward parents. While a genetic diagnosis may offer alternative explanations and relief from guilt, there is also a degree of ambivalence toward the result. The data suggest that assumed commentaries about the transformative impact of a genetic diagnosis are overstated. Participation in GOOS is prompted by a broad range of motivations: from hopes for cures to the belief in a mutual exchange of data and relationship between the GOOS team and family members. Yet the transfer of that information to other disciplines and services that families encounter in their everyday negotiations has been limited. This suggests that factors such as the historical and political context, lay and professional beliefs about the norms of human development, the context of care and the ambiguity between clinical care and research participation, are important for the construction of a particular field and of disease status.

Na complexidade do tratamento da obesidade, inclui-se a cirurgia bariÃtrica. EntÃo, conhecer os fatores relacionados e caracterÃsticas definidoras dos diagnÃsticos da classe cardiopulmonar associados no perÃodo pÃs-operatÃrio imediato de cirurgia bariÃtrica torna-se essencial para o desenvolvimento da assistÃncia de enfermagem, jà que, a partir dos diagnÃsticos de enfermagem mais prevalentes, intervenÃÃes serÃo instituÃdas. Assim, o estudo teve por objetivo avaliar o perfil de diagnÃstico de enfermagem da classe respostas cardiovasculares/pulmonares de acordo com a taxonomia II da NANDA dos pacientes no pÃs-operatÃrio de cirurgia bariÃtrica. Um estudo transversal foi desenvolvido com 59 pacientes internados em um hospital de referÃncia de cirurgia bariÃtrica no MunicÃpio de Fortaleza/CE, cuja coleta de dados ocorreu no perÃodo de junho de 2010 a junho de 2011. As informaÃÃes foram coletadas por meio de entrevista e exame fÃsico; posteriormente trÃs juÃzes realizaram a inferÃncia dos diagnÃsticos de enfermagem na classe respostas cardiovasculares/pulmonares segundo a Taxonomia da NANDA versÃo 2009-2011. Os dados foram compilados em planilha Excel e a anÃlise estatÃstica realizou-se no STATA versÃo 8.0. O nÃvel de significÃncia adotado no estudo foi 5%. Observou-se o predomÃnio do sexo feminino, com mÃdia de idade 35,3 anos. A maior parte dos pacientes apresentou diagnÃstico de obesidade mÃrbida com IMC > 40 Kg/m2. Os diagnÃsticos reais de maior concordÃncia entre os juÃzes foram PerfusÃo Tissular PerifÃrica Ineficaz (78%), DÃbito CardÃaco DiminuÃdo (76,3%), IntolerÃncia à Atividade e PadrÃo RespiratÃrio Ineficaz (47,5%). Pulsos perifÃricos diminuÃdos, edema, fadiga pÃs-carga alterada e prÃ-carga alterada foram proporcionalmente associados ao diagnÃstico DÃbito CardÃaco DiminuÃdo. AlteraÃÃes na profundidade respiratÃria, dispneia, ortopneia, uso da musculatura acessÃria para respirar, ansiedade, dor, fadiga, fadiga da musculatura respiratÃria foram proporcionalmente associados a PadrÃo RespiratÃrio Ineficaz. Desconforto aos esforÃos, relato verbal de fadiga, relato verbal de fraqueza, resposta anormal da pressÃo sanguÃnea à atividade, estilo de vida sedentÃrio, imobilidade e repouso no leito foram proporcionalmente associados a IntolerÃncia à Atividade. Edema, parestesia, pulsos diminuÃdos, hipertensÃo e tabagismo foram proporcionalmente associados à PerfusÃo Tissular PerifÃrica Ineficaz. Este estudo contribuirà para a construÃÃo da SistematizaÃÃo da AssistÃncia de Enfermagem frente aos diagnÃsticos de enfermagem da classe respostas cardiovasculares/pulmonares, como descrito nos resultados apresentados, e na fundamentaÃÃo cientÃfica para cada diagnÃstico. AlÃm da importante contribuiÃÃo para identificar as reais necessidades e facilitar a utilizaÃÃo de intervenÃÃes adequadas nessa populaÃÃo, està a capacidade de o profissional usufruir dessas informaÃÃes, vista a escassez de pesquisas realizadas com diagnÃsticos de enfermagem em pacientes submetidos à cirurgia bariÃtrica.
The bariatric surgery is included in the complexity of the treatment of obesity. Then, knowing the related factors and defining characteristics of cardiopulmonary diagnostic associated with the immediate postoperative period of bariatric surgery becomes essential for the development of nursing care, since, from the most prevalent nursing diagnoses, interventions will be instituted. Thus, the study aimed to evaluate the profile of nursing diagnosis of the class cardiovascular/pulmonary answers according to NANDA Taxonomy II of the patients after bariatric surgery. A cross-sectional study was conducted with 59 patients hospitalized in a referral hospital for bariatric surgery in the city of Fortaleza, state of CearÃ, which data collection occurred from June 2010 to June 2011. Information was collected through interviews and physical examinations; then three judges made the inference of nursing diagnoses in the class cardiovascular/pulmonary answers according to the NANDA-I Taxonomy 2009-2011. The data were compiled in an Excel spreadsheet and the statistical analysis was carried out in the STATA version 8.0. The significance level in this study was 5%. There was a predominance of females, mean age of 35.3 years. Most patients had a diagnosis of morbid obesity with BMI>40kg/m2. The actual diagnoses of greater agreement among the judges were Ineffective Peripheral Tissue Perfusion (78%), Decreased Cardiac Output (76.3%), and Activity Intolerance and Ineffective Breathing Pattern (47.5%). Decreased peripheral pulses, edema, altered preload and afterload fatigue were proportionally associated with the diagnosis Decreased Cardiac Output. Changes in respiratory depth, dyspnoea, orthopnoea, use of accessory muscles for breathing, anxiety, pain, fatigue, respiratory muscle fatigue were proportionally associated with Ineffective Breathing Patterns. Discomfort in efforts, verbal report of fatigue, verbal report of weakness, abnormal blood pressure response to activity, sedentary lifestyle, immobility and bed rest were proportionally associated with Activity Intolerance. Edema, paresthesia, decreased pulses, hypertension and smoking were proportionally associated with Ineffective Peripheral Tissue Perfusion. This study will contribute to the construction of the Systematization of Nursing Care regarding nursing diagnoses of the class cardiovascular/pulmonary answers, as described in the results presented, and in the scientific basis for each diagnosis. Besides the important contribution to identifying the real needs and facilitating the use of appropriate interventions in this population, it is the ability of the professionals in taking advantage of this information, in view of the scarcity of researches related to nursing diagnoses in patients undergoing bariatric surgery.

Abstract:
Background:Obesity is a condition in which the individual accumulates fat to an abnormal or excessive extent, which can be harmful to health. Every year, almost 4 million people diefrom the obesity epidemic, which is seen to increase in all age groups and burden individuals as well as society. It is a complex disease state caused by various factors such as biological, behavioural, social and environmental conditions and increases the risk of developing secondary diseases and premature death. Aim: The aim of the study was to identify nursing measures in the diagnosis of obesity. Method: The study is a general literature study based on eleven scientific articles with a qualitativeapproach and was analysedwith a thematic analysis method. Results: A recurring topic in the scientific articles was screened for a latent theme: person-centered patient education. The theme is based on developed sub-themes: physical activity, autonomy,and nutrition. Conclusions: The conclusion of the study is that the nurse works based onperson-centered patient education and offers patients with obesity nursing measures that include increased physical activity, strengthen the patient's autonomy and nutritional science. The obesity epidemic is a problem that is increasing in society on a national and global level, thus the authors of this study believe that there is an increased need for supplementary research in the field.
Bakgrund: Fetma är ett tillstånd där individen ansamlar fett i en onormal eller överdriven omfattning vilket kan vara skadligt för hälsan. Årligen dör närmare 4 miljoner människor av fetmaepidemin som ses öka i alla åldersgrupper och belastar individer som samhället. Det är ett komplext sjukdomstillstånd som orsakas av olika faktorer som biologiska-, beteendemässiga-, sociala- och miljömässiga förhållanden samt ökar risken att utveckla sekundära sjukdomar och förtidig död. Syfte: Syftet med studien var att identifiera omvårdnadsåtgärder vid diagnosen fetma. Metod: Studien är en allmän litteraturstudie baserad på elva vetenskapliga artiklar med kvalitativ ansats och analyserades med tematisk analysmetod. Resultat: Ett återkommande ämne i de vetenskapliga artiklarna avskärmades till ett latent tema: personcentrerad patientutbildning. Temat utgår från framtagna subteman: fysisk aktivitet, autonomi och nutrition. Slutsatser: Slutsatsen till studien är att sjuksköterskan arbetar utifrån personcentrerad patientutbildning samt erbjuder patienter med fetma omvårdnadsåtgärder som inkluderar ökad fysisk aktivitet, förstärka patientens autonomi samt nutritionslära. Fetmaepidemin är ett problem som ökas i samhället på en nationell och global nivå, därmed anser författarna till denna studie att det finns ett utökat behov med kompletterande forskning inom området.

Full text
Abstract:
Background: Psoriasis is a chronic inflammatory skin disorder that detracts from quality of life, including elements of physical, psychological, and social functioning. Objective: The purpose of this study was to (1) investigate whether retrospective questions about chronic quality of life (CQoL) were better predictors of poor socioeconomic and medical outcomes than the current Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI) and (2) to evaluate the relative impact of body mass index (BMI) and (3) age at diagnosis on the long-term outcomes and CQoL of psoriasis patients. Methods: 114 subjects were examined and asked to complete a self-administered questionnaire regarding disabilities, relationships, education, as well as medical and economic outcomes. Participants also answered the ten questions used in the Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI) modified to ask “over the last week,” “over the last year,” and “over your lifetime with psoriasis.” Survey responses were compared amongst BMI groups (normal, overweight, obese) and age-at-diagnosis quartiles. Results: Greater lifetime DLQI (LT DLQI) correlated with lower satisfaction with treatment (P=0.007), greater concern that psoriasis will worsen (P=0.012), worse perceived general health (P=0.003), younger age at which weight became problematic (P=0.002), greater likelihood of believing psoriasis had caused weight gain (P<0.001), shorter retention of current job (P=0.001), more experiences of discrimination at work (P=0.002) and in social settings (P<0.001) over one’s lifetime, and more severe discrimination in social settings over one’s lifetime (P=0.002). Greater LT DLQI predicted more packs smoked per day (P=0.005), greater likelihood of believing psoriasis caused smoking (P=0.012), greater likelihood of recreational drug use (P=0.004), greater likelihood of a depression diagnosis (P<0.001), greater likelihood of having felt depressed (P=0.011), and greater likelihood of believing psoriasis caused depression (P<0.001). Patients with elevated BMI were more likely to rate their general health lower (P<0.001), believe that psoriasis caused their weight gain (P=0.014), experience sleep problems over their lifetime (P=0.016), hide their psoriasis over their lifetime (P=0.010), have their self-confidence affected by their psoriasis over their lifetime (P=0.011), and avoid common activities over their lifetime (P=0.012). Those diagnosed at a younger age were more likely to have a greater LT DLQI (P<0.001), have felt depressed (P=0.003), believe that their psoriasis had caused their depression (P<0.001), experience sleep problems over their lifetime (P=0.004), use recreational drugs (P<0.001), hide their psoriasis over their lifetime (P<0.001), and experience more severe discrimination in social settings over their lifetime (P=0.002). Conclusion: Compared to the standard LW DLQI, LT DLQI was a better predictor of patient outcomes related to weight, discrimination, and depression. While obesity is linked to impaired self-confidence, early-onset psoriasis is associated with depression, social discrimination, and greater LT DLQI. Both BMI and age at diagnosis independently cause a negative effect on sleep quality and recreational drug use.

Abstract:
This study explored the experiences of physical activity of Bangladeshi adolescents diagnosed with obesity. It adopted a qualitative methodology using Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis and semi-structured interviews to explore this un-researched area. Physical activity generally declines In adolescence, and is especially low in Bangladeshi young people. It is an integral part of treatments for childhood obesity and therefore, it is important to maximise uptake and engagement. The study findings are reported as four main themes. Physical activity was understood to offer protection from health problems and facilitate weight loss. However, young people did physical activity for fun, weight loss and because it was a social experience, rather than for health reasons. The motivation of being with others, inclusion and friendships were high in the face of associated costs. Young people had to negotiate their dependency on adults for information about their health and for opportunities to do physical activity. Uptake of physical activity was limited by competing demands on time, proximity to home, ability to travel safely, and for females, by the presence of men and concerns over 'mixing'. However, when young people did access physical activity they enjoyed feeling energised, improved thinking, feeling lighter and the social approval physical changes offered. They disliked the physiological experiences associated with exertion and some young people were anxious about experiencing these. These findings are sample-specific; they cannot be extrapolated onto other groups in other areas. However, they highlight that many experiences were similar to the general population whilst some were culturally mediated. Young people accepted some personal responsibility for physical activity, which was problematic given the external barriers faced. Family norms, cultural norms, bullying and poverty are factors requiring attention in interventions. The findings are discussed in terms of the existing research base. Clinical and research implications are highlighted.

Abstract:
Background: Although the relationship between body weight and blood pressure (BP) is well established, there is a lack of data regarding the impact of obesity on the prevalence of hypertension in primary care practice. The objective of this study was to assess the prevalence of hypertension and the diagnosis, treatment status, and control rates of hypertension in obese patients as compared to patients with normal weight. Methods: A cross-sectional point prevalence study of 45,125 unselected consecutive primary care attendees was conducted in a representative nationwide sample of 1912 primary care physicians in Germany (HYDRA). Results: Blood pressure levels were consistently higher in obese patients. Overall prevalence of hypertension (blood pressure ≥140/90 mm Hg or on antihypertensive medication) in normal weight patients was 34.3%, in overweight participants 60.6%, in grade 1 obesity 72.9%, in grade 2 obesity 77.1%, and in grade 3 obesity 74.1%. The odds ratio (OR) for good BP control (<140/90 mm Hg) in diagnosed and treated patients was 0.8 (95% confidence interval [CI] 0.7– 0.9) in overweight patients, 0.6 (95% CI 0.6–0.7) in grade 1, 0.5 (95% CI 0.4–0.6) in grade 2, and 0.7 (95% CI 0.5– 0.9) in grade 3 obese patients. Conclusions: The increasing prevalence of hypertension in obese patients and the low control rates in overweight and obese patients document the challenge that hypertension control in obese patients imposes on the primary care physician. These results highlight the need for specific evidence-based guidelines for the pharmacologic management of obesity-related hypertension in primary practice.

Results: Blood pressure levels were consistently higher in obese patients. Overall prevalence of hypertension (blood pressure ≥140/90 mm Hg or on antihypertensive medication) in normal weight patients was 34.3%, in overweight participants 60.6%, in grade 1 obesity 72.9%, in grade 2 obesity 77.1%, and in grade 3 obesity 74.1%. The odds ratio (OR) for good BP control (<140/90 mm Hg) in diagnosed and treated patients was 0.8 (95% confidence interval [CI] 0.7– 0.9) in overweight patients, 0.6 (95% CI 0.6–0.7) in grade 1, 0.5 (95% CI 0.4–0.6) in grade 2, and 0.7 (95% CI 0.5– 0.9) in grade 3 obese patients. Conclusions: The increasing prevalence of hypertension in obese patients and the low control rates in overweight and obese patients document the challenge that hypertension control in obese patients imposes on the primary care physician. These results highlight the need for specific evidence-based guidelines for the pharmacologic management of obesity-related hypertension in primary practice.

Abstract:
This topic addresses the causes and consequences of obesity, defined as a body mass index (BMI) of 30 or above. While BMI is the most commonly used measure of obesity, the waist-to-height ratio correlates better with visceral obesity. At least 1.1 billion adults are overweight worldwide, but a medical cause for obesity is found in less than 1 out of every 100 cases. The health consequences of obesity are diverse and serious. Approximately 50% of all hypertension is secondary to obesity, and the heart may also be harmed by obesity-induced chronic volume overload and ischaemic heart disease. Obesity contributes strongly to the pathophysiology of type II diabetes and its consequences. Obese patients have higher rates of stroke, osteoarthritis, obstructive sleep apnoea, gastro-oesophageal reflux, chronic liver disease, and infertility. In addition, obesity increases the incidence of some cancers (e.g. breast, prostate, and colorectal). The psychological and social effects of obesity include higher rates of depression and anxiety, and reduced employment.

Abstract:
Patients with peripheral arterial disease (PAD) have compromised blood flow to their extremities as a result of arterial narrowing. PAD is often associated with impairment in endothelial function which is exaggerated by injury from processes related to cardiovascular risk factors such as ageing, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, diabetes, smoking, and obesity [1]. Furthermore, patients with diabetes often have calcified arteries making standard non-invasive testing non diagnostic [2]. With increase in diabetes prevalence and concomitant PAD, a new non-invasive assessment method of arterial function that has the potential to reflect both arterial tone and response to ischemia reperfusion may be valuable. We have developed a peripheral arterial tonometry (PAT) system (previously described, [3]) that is capable of measuring pulsatility in peripheral digits. We complemented our system with simultaneous peripheral temperature measurements that could not only add value in understanding PAD, but also aid in clinical diagnoses. In this investigation, we characterized our system on healthy individuals before using it on patients suffering from arterial disease in future investigations.
