Abstract:

La obesidad infantil sigue siendo una importante carga para la salud pública. Comprender e identificar la compleja relación entre la calidad de la dieta y los factores del estilo de vida es importante para el control de peso en los niños y las estrategias de prevención de la obesidad infantil. Esta tesis se basa en datos de tres estudios: i) Enkid, un estudio nacional representativo de la población española de 2 a 24 años, n = 3534; ii) POIBC, un programa de obesidad infantil basado en la comunidad, que incluye niños de 8 a 10 años, n = 2250.

Abstract:

The incidence of obesity and its related metabolic diseases, such as diabetes, cardiovascular disease and hypertension, has escalated dramatically over the past decades worldwide, so much so that it has reached epidemic proportions. It has become a significant public health issue and a massive burden to the health-care system in developed and developing countries. Obesity is the fifth leading risk for human mortality around the globe, resulting in 2.8 million adult deaths each year. Another alarming fact is that childhood obesity has increased dramatically since 1990. Childhood obesity is one

To assess the strengths and weaknesses of the body mass index (BMI) as a way of identifying obese children/estimating obesity prevalence. 3.

In addition, the thesis explores ethno-religious differences in obesity. Four key pathways to obesity are explored: social and structural inequality, migration-related, culture and health behaviour.

Obesity is a worldwide problem affecting both children and adults. Genetic, physiological, environmental, psychological, social and economic factors interact in varying degrees, influencing body weight and fat distribution and the progress of obesity. Moreover, some anthropogenic chemicals have proven to be endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs) with the potential to interfere with different actions of hormones in the body. EDCs may thereby disrupt homeostasis, modifying developmental, behavioral and immune functions in humans and animals, and also promoting adiposity. Because hormones generall

Obesity and relapse after dieting pose a significant threat to an increasing number of adults in this country.

The study of metaphor has moved from abstraction and poetics into the realms of cognitive science and cultural studies. Rather than being seen as purely figurative and secondary to literal meaning, investigation of metaphors reveals a close relationship to our processes of reasoning, a capacity to both reveal and cover, and a plasticity that forms within surrounding cultural values. I reviewed current metaphor theory, including its concerns and justifications, and designed a simple survey experiment through the Qualtrix webpage.

Abstract:

Obesity has become a concern of epidemic proportion and is associated with an increased incidence in chronic pain but the underlying mechanism is not known. Obesity is associated with a low-grade inflammation of white adipose tissue due to a dysregulation in cytokines and adipokines, some of which, including turnor necrosis factor-α and interleukin-1β, have been linked to inflammatory pain. Other adipokines such as adiponectin, display anti- inflammatory properties but their role in modulating inflammatory pain has not been investigated.
