Abstract:

Background: BeeZee Bodies specialises in adult and child weight management and behaviour change and has been running in counties across the United Kingdom for almost ten years. The BeeZee Families Programme is an award winning healthy lifestyles programme designed for children who are identified as overweight/obese and their families. The Families programme incorporates behavioural economics, sociological factors and implementing our ‘Habit before the habit’ methodology to elicit real-life change, beyond the obvious factors influencing weight.

Aim: This study aimed to explore the demographic factors which affect the success of families on the BeeZee Families programme. Success is determined by completion of the programme and a decrease in BMI.

Methods: Demographic and anthropometric data were analysed for 992 children aged 5-15 recruited between 2016 and 2019 from across Bedfordshire and Hertfordshire. Factors assessed include: gender, age, marital status, disability status, and quintile of deprivation (QOD), BMI, and waist circumference. Demographic variables were compared with change in BMI during the programme. All data has been analysed using SPSS Version 25.

Results: Preliminary results determined that of those who commenced the BeeZee Families programme 78.1% completed, with 76.5% of completers decreasing or maintaining their BMI with a mean decrease in -0.45kg. On average, completers had a lower initial BMI than those who left the programme early (p=0.009). Of those who completed, the change in BMI was larger for males than for females (p=0.019). Priority should be given to ensuring that children with a higher BMI should complete the programme, and that girls who complete are better supported to achieve similar results to males in terms of BMI reduction.

Abstract:

In the United States, childhood obesity has been a growing epidemic with, 1/3 of US children considered overweight or obese. The increased number of overweight and obese children can be linked to several factors including nutrition and social economic status. Households that do not have access to healthy, nutritious foods are significantly more likely to be obese earlier in life than other children. Obesity in children can lead to numerous health complications such as diabetes, high blood pressure, chronic inflammation and carcinogenesis. African American minorities are more likely to be diagnosed and die from one of the various forms of cancer. Therefore, eliminating or reducing preventable risk factors such as unhealthy nutrition and childhood obesity could have important implications for reducing clinical manifestations of adult cancer outcomes. In order to understand the implication of inflammation in the participants, we first analyzed the expression of the inflammation biomarkers in prostate cancer cells, used as our baseline data.  The pro-inflammatory markers and obesity related genes investigated include adiponectin, leptin, CRP, VEGF, SAA1 /2, Interleukin 1 and 6. The transcriptional levels of pro-inflammatory genes was measured by quantitative Real-time polymerase chain reaction. The results indicated that the expression of chronic inflammation markers were increased in cancer DNA as compared normal DNA.  Overall, reducing childhood obesity and pro-inflammatory diets, while increasing physical activity and access to healthy foods are beneficial in the reduction of cancer risk and will serve as preventive measures for early-stage onset of adult cancers.

Abstract:

Obesity plays a critical role in metabolic complications seen in metabolic syndrome populations. Yet, the consequences of increased body mass index on the metabolic disorders assiociated with metabolic syndrome have not been thoroughly examined. Fifteen classical markers of the latter syndrome, as well as body mass index, were measured  in both 20 non-obese and 20 obese control subjects and 20 overweight and 80 obese young adults of western Algeria affected by the metabolic syndrome. The possible interrelationships between body mass index and selected markers was then investigated. Even in control subjects as distinct from patients affected by the metabolic syndrome, obesity coincides with obvious increases of glycemia, insulinemia, HOMA index, total cholesterol, triglycerides, leptin and hs-CRP and obvious decreases of adiponectin and GLP-1. Qualitatively, the obese control subjects display virtually all the perturbations of metabolic variables considered as indicative of the metabolic syndrome. Such a finding reinforce the view that obesity, as most currently attributable to an imbalance between food intake and energy expenditure, may well represent, in most patients affected by the metabolic syndrome, a key pathological determinant. Hence, the present finding also argue in support of a dietary approach in the perspective of preventing, or even curing, the metabolic syndrome.

Abstract:

The aim of the present study was to assess the effects of a hyperlipidic diet set before puberty in male Wistar rats’ gonadal weights and testicular functions. Males rats were used for the study, they were randomly distributed into 2 groups: Control Group (CG: standard diet (normolipidemic) and the second: Intervention Group (IG: hyperlipidemic diet), after 7 days of experimentation, 3 rats were sacrificed per week, blood samples were collected and level of HDL, LDL and triglyceride were analyzed. A significant reduction (p<0.05) in testicular weight in the control group was observed compared with the hyperlipidic diet group, triglyceride levels showed a consistent change over the weeks of the study, HDL levels showed a consistent change during the 5 weeks of the study, Photomicraphie of the testicles of Wistar rats in the hyperlipid diet group  for the first week showed Sertoli cell hyperplasia ,during the second week microscopic examination showed significant testicular hypertrophy the microscopic examination during the fifth week showed hyperplasia of the seminal vesicle characterized by an increase in the number of glandular epithelial cells. The proliferating epithelium may form papillary structures with supporting stroma and with extension into the glandular lumen and total absence of sperm cells. Obesity is associated with many metabolic abnormalities. It has been found that these metabolic abnormalities induce disorders of spermatogenesis. Our results show that the hyperlipidic diet affects the gonads significantly with hypertrophic testes, the presence of hyperplastic seminiferous tubes, as well as a fine basement membrane.

Abstract:

In Mexico, obesity and overweight (OySP) have become a social epidemic of uncontrollable magnitude, in this context there have been multiple proposals to combat OySP, from invasive clinical models to food policies such as food labeling and calorie reduction in food, and even Thus the problem of OySP is increasing, so we devised a virtual page proposal which, through translation of the knowledge of experts in the area under study, we propose the creation of the Pepitometer, which functions as the diffuser instrument of the knowledge of styles of healthy life in this age group, through two parameters scientific awareness of knowledge translation and availability of information, this makes in children behavioral appropriation towards healthy lifestyles through the promotion of these contents in the family nucleus. It is worth mentioning that this page was piloted in a group of 600 children between 6 and 12 years old, of which 74% on admission to the page presented OySP, 6% malnutrition and 20% normal weight, in a period of 3 months 4,000 visits were registered by registered users, the most visited portals, Menu of the week [60%], Physical Activity [20%], Psychological Support [20%] at the end of the cross section After three months, we found 68% of OySP, 12% of malnutrition and 20% of normal weight this in registered users, this shows that the trend remains static, in two dichotomous slopes of the country, OySP and malnutrition, this APPs, is a tool that can be very useful to monitor and combat these global pandemics , which depend on social nutrition.

Abstract:

Background: the  Reproductive function is controlled by the hypothalamic–pituitary– gonadal axis, which is regulated by numerous endogenous and environmental factors  such us adipose accumulation in obesity  contributing to reproductive failure  such as menstrual disorders and infertility, gestational failure and obstetric complications, and infertility.

The aim of this study was to elucidate the possible correlation between body mass index as fatness indicator and hormonal profile in infertile women from the west of Algeria .

Subjects and methods: To identify the impact of overweight  and obesity on female hormonal profile ; we  conducted a prospective study  measuring pituitary hormones  (FSH  and LH and prolactin) , steroid sex hormones ( progesterone , testosterone and estradiol ) , anti miulleian hormone , and thyroidal hormones (FT3 , FT4 and TSH) in 360 women  consulting for subfertility in private genecologycal and obstetrical centers in SID BEL ABESS (West of Algeria ).

Result: Our study showed that The majority of patients were aged between 20 and 29 years, representing a percentage of 47.8%, with the average age in sample (31.65 ± 6,93ans). the majority of subjects  was obese   46.4%,  or overweight (39.4%) with an average BMI of (29.76 ± 4,85Kg / m2).
No statistically significant association was found between the BMI as obesity indicator with hormonal levels of pituitary hormones (FSH and LH and prolactin), steroid sex hormones (progesterone, testosterone and estradiol ), anti miulleian hormone , and thyroidal hormones (FT3 , FT4 and TSH).

Conclusion: the results of our study showed that the majority of women included in our study had a high BMI but no statistical significant difference was found between underweight , normal , overwheight and obese women , that’s why more studies should be conducted to elucidate the in which level does obesity impair the reproductive outcomes.

Abstract:

The reversion of diabetes and the treatment of long-term obesity are di_cult challenges. The failure mechanisms of rapid weight loss are mainly related to the wasting of lean mass. This single-arm study aims to evaluate the e_ects of a very low-calorie ketogenic diet (VLCKD) on body composition and resting energy expenditure in the short term reversal of diabetes mellitus Type 2. For eight weeks, subjects were administered a personalized VLCKD with protein intake based on lean mass and synthetic amino acidic protein supplementation. Each subject was assessed by anthropometry, Dual-energy X-ray Absorptiometry(DXA), bioimpedentiometric analysis (BIA), indirect calorimetry, and biochemical analysis. The main findings were the saving of lean mass, the reduction of abdominal fat mass, restored metabolic flexibility, the maintenance of resting energy expenditure, and the reversion of diabetes. These results highlight how the application of preventive, predictive, personalized, and participative medicine to nutrition may be promising for the prevention of diabetes and enhancement of obesity treatment.

Abstract:

Healthy pregnant women with good nutritional status certainly are important for mother and fetus. During pregnancy gaining weight is both required and expected as it occurred as a consequence for the rapid physiological changes.   The study aimed at identifying the patterns of Gestational Weight Gain among pregnant women in Nablus district, to determine the related associated factors and to find out maternal and fetal outcomes during the study period.   A quantitative, cross-sectional study approach was adopted to recruit 387 pregnant women from the Ministry of Health antenatal clinics in Nablus city.  Self administrative questionnaire was used to collect the data that included assessment of biometric measurement (height, weight), physical activity and assessment of maternal and fetal complication the findings showed that (43.7%) of pregnant women participate in the study gain Inadequate Gestational Weight Gain, (36.1%) were with Adequate Gestational Weight Gain and (20.3%) were classified with  Excessive Gestational Weight Gain, there were a significant relationship between BMI and total GWG (P-value 0.00)and women attitude regard how to eat (P-value 0.003), in addition to that women with IGWG were 1.7 times to have labor and postpartum complications (OR=1.658), occurrence of GDM, PIH and pre-eclampsia were higher among women with EGWG.  The women's pre-pregnancy body mass index and attitude regarding how to eat affect women GWG that affect maternal and fetal complications. It is recommended that weight assessment is crucial during the pregnancy period, and maintaining adequate weight during pregnancy has its effect on minimizing maternal and fatal complications.

Abstract:

TDEE is always variable according to each case measurments, genes and target. TDEE of weight loss is so critical as it has to be calculated to lose most of the weight from fats not muscles and water, to reach the ideal shape and ideal health with the ideal weight. BMR counts almost 70% of the TDEE and because of many medical and non-medical factors some cases suffer from Slowed-BMR which particularly affects the TDEE, total health and the target so they fail to lose weight in a healthy manner.
In FitoverfaT we have made hunderds of Natural body Transformations using Nutrition and workout plans according to each case measurments and target, by using our clinical data (BIA/IC) and follow up of different cases (over 140,000 assessments) we can put guidelines to deal with the TDEE and it’s composition from Proteins/Carbs/Fats specially with the Slowed-BMR cases. Some of our results could be checked on our below mentioned business accounts.

Abstract:

Failure in weight reduction programs is frequent in obese children. Although it seems easy to eat better and exercise more, weight reduction is a difficult task. To clarify the principal causes of this failure we include 200 families with one or more obese children. 235 children, 122 boys and 113 girls with body mass index > percentile 95 were included. Age was 11± 0.9 years.  Genetic and hormonal causes were excluded. All the families were instructed about nutritional and exercise recommendations. Children were evaluated every 2 months for 6 months. Questionnaire about the adherence to the recommendation were realized on each visit. The first 2 month 80 boys (65 %) and 90 girls (79 %) loosed weight. The second 2 month this number were reduced to 60 boys (49 %) and 72 girls (63 %). The third 2 months 45 boys (36 %) and 60 girls (53 %) loosed weight. All the rest augmented their weight. Always more girls loosed weight than boys (p < 0.05). Analyzing the data of the questionnaire; father ´s lake of time was the main reason to abandon physical excursive (55 %). the second cause was no cooperation of the grandparents offering unhealthy food, as they see the children healthy and not obese (32%).Other causes (18 %) were children´s refusal to eat the offered healthy food or to make physical exercise, fractures or sickness during the observation period. Conclusions: failure to lose weight or incidence in obesity in the majority of cases is responsibility of parents and grandparents. Education programs should address them about the adult risk their children can have.
