For individuals with preclinical obesity, care should prioritize risk reduction through counselling, monitoring or proactive interventions based on risk levels. ... In conclusion, Anton ...
Obesity is a major cause of disability and is correlated with various diseases and conditions, particularly cardiovascular diseases, type 2 diabetes, obstructive sleep apnea, certain types of cancer, and osteoarthritis. [2] [12] [13] Obesity has individual, socioeconomic, and environmental causes.
Many “failed” obesity interventions are, in fact, successful eat-healthier-and-exercise-more interventions. A review of 44 international studies found that school-based activity programs didn’t affect kids’ weight, but improved their athletic ability, tripled the amount of time they spent exercising and reduced their daily TV ...
A Cochrane review of a lower fat diet in children (30% or less of total energy) to prevent obesity found the existing evidence of very low to moderate quality, and firm conclusions could not be made. [56] Calorie-rich drinks and foods are readily available to children. Consumption of sugar-laden soft drinks may contribute to childhood obesity ...
A systematic review found that there is insufficient evidence to draw conclusions regarding the effects of TTM-based programs targeting weight loss that included dietary or physical activity interventions, or both (and also combined with other interventions), on sustainable weight loss (one year or longer) in overweight and obese adults.
More than one in three men have excess weight, and more than two out of five have obesity. A higher weight can lead to health issues like type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure (hypertension), sleep ...
Therefore, the simple conclusion above may be false. Example 5 Since the 1950s, both the atmospheric CO 2 level and obesity levels have increased sharply. Hence, atmospheric CO 2 causes obesity. Richer populations tend to eat more food and produce more CO 2. Example 6 HDL ("good") cholesterol is negatively correlated with incidence of heart attack.
The obesity paradox is the finding in some studies of a lower mortality rate for overweight or obese people within certain subpopulations. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] [ 3 ] The paradox has been observed in people with cardiovascular disease and cancer.
