In 2014, it was estimated that 41 million children in all world, under the age of 5 were overweight or obese. Despite all the efforts, the number of overweight and obese children/adolescents is rising in almost all countries. Meanwhile, some points impaired the healthcare professionals to follow obesity...
If temporal variation of a person's hunger degree could be estimated, it would be possible to adjust his/her eating habits and/or prevent obesity. It is well-known that there is a negative correlation between a hunger degree and a blood glucose level. However, it is hard to measure a person's blood glucose level anytime and anywhere, because it relies usually on an invasive method (e.g., blood sampling)...
Engineering research may provide tools to the individual as well as to the public in general, to effectively monitor welness and health patterns, such as metabolic rate and weight control. Ketone bodies and acetone gas emissions in exhaled breath and skin, in particular, may be used as biomarkers of fatty acid metabolism and may be used in diet control. Two types of technologies, resistive chemosensors...
The body mass index (BMI) is nowadays the most used tool to evaluate obesity, involving only two anthropometric measures easy to obtain, the weight and the height (BMI=weight/height^2). The BMI is valuable because it evaluates obesity, classifying people into `underweight', `normal weight', and `overweight' classes. The value of the BMI means that through a classification of the weight condition,...
The obesity was an important factor that affected the healthy growth of young people seriously, which aroused wide spread concern in the community. In this research, comprehensive interventions with exercise training, nutrition and psychology were applied to investigate blood pressure, blood lipid of simple obesity of young people. The blood pressure and lipid were reduced significantly by the cross-intervention...
The Purpose of this research is to discuss the function mechanism of raspberry ketone on simple obesity and the influence of resistance on obesity relevant insulin. There were 40 SD rats of SPF grade, and the male to female ratio was 1:1. They were randomly divided into 5 groups: NC fed with normal diet. MC fed with high-fat diet. RKL, RKM, and RKH groups fed with high-fat diet and were administered...
In order to investigate the influences of fitness Yangko on body composition and blood lipid levels of middle and old-aged women with central obesity, 36 subjects was chosen and divided them into equal test group and control group. To make a comparison, the body composition and blood lipid levels of the test group who has gone through 18 weeks of Yangko exercises was measured. Results showed that...
It is well-known that obesity has a marked effect on many of the routinely used laboratory parameters. An obvious example is the serum level of various blood lipids: hyperlipidemia, hypercholesteremia are often observed in obese people. Our research aimed to provide a more thorough understanding of the effects of obesity on laboratory parameters, concentrating on every laboratory parameter, not just...
This paper is on the basis of 2005 year's Shandong Province National Physique Monitoring Data, describes blood pressure distribution of 20 to 59-year-old residents, and on this basis, explores inner relationship between blood pressure and physique. The results show that: blood pressure detection rate on the high side of Shandong adult increased with age, and males higher than females, there is obvious...
Obesity is a rapidly spreading endemic in almost every country of the developed world, of which Hungary is no exception. By a joint research project we aim to deepen our understanding of obesity-associated, and especially obesity-predicting changes of clinical markers (anthropometric indices, body composition, laboratory results etc.) in children, especially in teenage population. This paper presents...
Obesity due to deposition of acyltriglycerol leads/adds directly or indirectly to various medical complications including; diabetes, hypertension, arthritis, cardio-vascular and neurological disorders. The immediate solution is surgery 'liposuction' or laser/ultrasonic/thermal radiations/ surfactants assisted liposuction or surgical lipectomy without tackling the root cause of obesity. The understanding...
