Abstract (sommario):

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. El estudio se llevó a cabo durante dos años escolar

Abstract (sommario):

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

In recent years awareness of childhood obesity as a clinical and public health problem has increased. However, a number of important issues related to childhood obesity were unclear when this thesis began. The aims of this thesis were as follows: 1. To estimate the prevalence of obesity in British and Iranian children. 2. To assess the strengths and weaknesses of the body mass index (BMI) as a way of identifying obese children/estimating obesity prevalence. 3. To investigate the factors associated with early 'adiposity rebound'. 4. To identify risk factors for obesity in British children. This

This thesis identifies ethnic differences in obesity for eight key ethnic groups in England, before and after accounting for a range of individual-level and area-level factors. 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.

Abstract (sommario):

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

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 patie

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

Given the limitations of existing research, the purpose of this study was to investigate the natural course of obesity relapse. A purposive sample of eight obese women, ages 31-57, was selected.

Abstract (sommario):

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. The survey was distributed via the Amazon Mechanical TURK system.

The worldwide prevalence of obesity and obesity-associated liver diseases have attracted great attention in the past decades. Obesity is an increasing health problem, which can induce a series of metabolic syndrome associated diseases, such as fatty liver disease, type 2 diabetes.

Obesity is a complex disorder which has reached epidemic proportions in many parts of the world. Twin studies have demonstrated a high heritability for obesity.

Despite these great advances, these loci are almost exclusively completely naïve in a functional context.

The results from these and other studies suggest that the FTO SNPs lead to weight gain by increasing FTO activity and/or expression. Adult inactivation of Fto using the tamoxifen indu

Obesity promotes the development and progression of chronic kidney disease (CKD). Increased risk of CKD also occurs in the offspring of obese mothers, which underpins the notion of fetal programming of disease. DNA methylation is a biological process in which addition of methyl groups to DNA affects gene expression without altering the underlying sequence. Occurring predominantly during gestation, it has been proposed as a key mechanism in the fetal programming of disease. DNA methylation has also been implicated in the progression of CKD, therefore DNA demethylating drugs may prevent CKD. It
