Obesity and Metabolism Disorders

There are 31.7% of obese children in America.

The percent of people with obesity in america is 74.3% it has risen in the last 20 years! please stay heathy take care of your bodies. around 2,500 people die a year in each state from being heavy! its awful. even if all you are doing is running on wii fit once a day and eating carrot sticks instead of a cookie for snack, every little bit helps. -Taylor Swift <3

According to the World Health Organization, approximately 13% of the global population is obese. However, this percentage can vary significantly by country and region.

According to the World Health Organization, globally, around 38 million children under the age of 5 were overweight or obese in 2019. In the United States, around 19.3% of children and adolescents aged 2-19 are considered obese.

The United States of America has the highest obesity rates in the world. 64% of adults in the United States of America are overweight or obese. For information about the causes of weight gain, and obesity, see the page links, further down this page, listed under Related Questions.

The leading cause of obesity in kids today is a combination of factors, including excessive consumption of high-calorie, low-nutrient foods, lack of physical activity, genetics, and environmental factors such as family dynamics and socioeconomic status. Additionally, factors like increased screen time and marketing of unhealthy foods to children also contribute to the rise in childhood obesity.

Actually there are several Pacific Island nations with over 90% obesity rates, and I think Nauro or a country like that has the highest at 94% obesityAustralia has now become the most obese people (percentage wise) America is now second.

Obesity in older people can exacerbate age-related health conditions such as heart disease, diabetes, and joint problems. It can reduce mobility, increase the risk of falls, and diminish overall quality of life. Managing weight through diet and exercise is important for maintaining health and independence in older age.

Aching from varicose veins is caused by the blood pooling in the bottom of your calves due to the incompetent venous valves. It is helpful to lie down and elevate your legs to assist the blood to drain out.

You can also wear compression stockings.

Ultimately though, the varicose veins will probably need to be treated (eg endovenous laser therapy or ultrasound guided sclerotherapy) to achieve a lasting cure.

A sudden loss of muscle tone and weight gain can be caused by conditions such as hypothyroidism, Cushing's syndrome, or medication side effects. It is important to consult a healthcare professional for proper evaluation and diagnosis.

Obesity is a combination of various diseases like hormone imbalances, various deficiencies and nutritional exhaustion. Before the problem of obesity can be taken care of the underlying conditions need to be managed. Therefore, obesity in itself is not a disease but a condition however, since its a resultant of multiple diseases, the treatment to obesity is multidirectional.

Carol Yager (1960 - 1994) of Flint, MI; 5 ft 7 in, estimated to have weighed more than 1600 lbs at her peak. She had been fat since childhood. In 1993, she was measured at 1189 lbs when admitted to Hurley Medical Center, suffering from cellulitis. She lost nearly 500 lbs on a 1200-calorie diet, but most of that weight was thought to be fluid, and she regained all of it and more soon after being discharged. Her teenage daughter, a boyfriend, and a group of volunteers helped take care of her. Despite extravagant promises by diet maven Richard Simmons and talk-show host Jerry Springer, Yager received little practical assistance in return for her media exposure (though Springer continues to profit from her appearance on his show, having rebroadcast that episode at least four times). She was refused further hospitalization on the grounds that her condition was not critical, despite massive water retention and signs of incipient kidney failure, and these problems led to her death a few weeks later.

There are quite a few causes for Hemolytic Anemia, they include:

. Deformity of the red blood cells - so they break down quicker.

. Drugs taken for another illness

. Caused from another blood disease.

. Or harmful substances.

Fatty infiltration of the liver, also known as **steatosis** or **hepatic steatosis**, is a condition where excess fat accumulates in the liver cells. The liver plays a vital role in various bodily functions, including processing nutrients, filtering toxins, and producing important proteins. However, when excessive fat accumulates, it can impair these functions and potentially lead to liver damage over time.

Types of Fatty Liver Disease:

There are two main types of fatty liver disease:

• **Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD):** This is the most common type, affecting up to 25% of adults globally, and is not caused by excessive alcohol consumption. Risk factors include obesity, insulin resistance, high cholesterol, and genetics.

• **Alcoholic fatty liver disease (AFLD):** This type is caused by excessive alcohol consumption.

Symptoms:

Fatty liver disease often doesn't cause any noticeable symptoms in its early stages. However, some individuals may experience:

• Fatigue

• Loss of appetite

• Upper right abdominal pain or discomfort

Complications:

If left untreated, fatty liver disease, particularly NAFLD, can progress to more serious conditions like:

• **Nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH):** This involves inflammation and liver cell damage along with fat accumulation.

• **Cirrhosis:** This is the final stage of liver disease, characterized by scarring of the liver tissue, which can impair its function significantly.

• **Liver cancer:** While rare, there is an increased risk of liver cancer in individuals with advanced stages of NAFLD.

Diagnosis:

Diagnosing fatty liver disease typically involves a combination of:

• **Medical history and physical examination:** Your doctor will inquire about your symptoms, lifestyle habits, and family history.

• **Blood tests:** These can evaluate liver function and assess for underlying conditions.

• **Imaging tests:** Ultrasound, CT scan, or MRI scan might be used to visualize the liver and check for fat accumulation or other abnormalities.

Treatment:

There is no specific medication for fatty liver disease. However, the focus lies on managing the underlying causes and preventing further liver damage. This often involves:

• **Lifestyle modifications:** Maintaining a healthy weight through diet and exercise is crucial. A balanced diet rich in fruits, vegetables, and whole grains with limited processed foods, saturated fats, and added sugar is recommended. Regular physical activity helps manage weight and improve overall health.

• **Managing other medical conditions:** If you have conditions like diabetes or high cholesterol, controlling them effectively is essential for protecting your liver.

• **Medications:** In some cases, medication might be needed to manage specific conditions contributing to fatty liver disease, such as diabetes or high cholesterol.

Prevention:

Maintaining a healthy lifestyle with a balanced diet, regular exercise, and maintaining a healthy weight are the primary ways to prevent or reduce the risk of developing fatty liver disease. Additionally, limiting alcohol consumption is crucial.

• If you experience any symptoms suggestive of fatty liver disease, consulting a healthcare professional for proper diagnosis and personalized treatment is crucial.

It is not "wrong" to be fat, but it is generally not viewed as a "good" thing, either. Many cultures and media sources do not view being overweight as being attractive. Some do, but a majority prefer a healthy or slim body type. Also, being overweight can cause amny health risks or problems.

I highly doubt that it can cause kidney pain. I'm not a doctor, but am in the medical field. To the best of my knowledge, you could experience some nausea (due to the temperature difference of your body and the water) or brain freeze if you drink it too fast. As you drink water, your body warms it up while going to the rest of your body. Blood runs through your kidneys to get filtered not the water itself. The ending results (or the expelled substance) is excess water or water that could not be reabsorbed along with other mumbo jumbo. But, I guess you could say that you can get hypothermia if you submerge your WHOLE body in water of almost freezing temperatures, which could result in acute renal failure.

well you see. people get fat when they eat fatty foods. fast food contains a high source of these fats with little nutritional value. if you are lazy and eat this you become obese. good night. well you see. people get fat when they eat fatty foods. fast food contains a high source of these fats with little nutritional value. if you are lazy and eat this you become obese. good night.

The following steps to be taken in solvent extraction 1.Take out the sample, filtrate it and measure the density. Analysis to be done for the metal/component which is to be extracted. If more components are presented then analysis to be done for all components 2.Select the solvent which is suitable for the sample 3.Prepare solvent with diluents or modifiers 4.Measure the solvent density 5.Both solvent and sample densityies should not be same 6.Take measured quantity of sample and solvents in a separating funnel 7.Shake it 5-10 minutes or until equilibrium achieved 8.After equilibrium achieved separate the organic and aquous layers in to separate beakers 9.Analysis to be done for the metal/component which is to be extracted. If more components are presented then analysis to be done for all components 10.This analysis to be done in raffinate. 11.In extract layer do the stripping and and separate the solvent. 12.Mutual solubilito be calculated in extract and raffinate layers 13.The analysis described above is to be followed for stripped solution also. 14.The stripped organic to be analyzed and re use it. 15.Calculate the loading capacity of organic 16.Calculate the selectivity 17.Using date draw the equilibrium diagram 18.Calculate the stages required using Mc Cabe diagram

This is just my opinion, there is no factual answer Yeah they should because 1. many people are getting obese (fat) from eating too many unhealthy fast foods and the fat in them is causing many diseases and has even been remotely linked with certain cancers, and 2. because there are many products (like muesli bars) that claim to be healthy but are actually full of sugar and fat and preservatives that aren't good for you, and that can trick many people into buying them BELIEVING that they are healthy when they really aren't.

Try incorporating more wholesome foods into your diet:

Yogurt (good with some barley cereal like Grapenuts mixed in)

Fruit

Peanuts

Cashews

Except in the cases where a person has a gland problem, the only one that is to blame for obesity is the person that is obese. No one makes anyone go to a fast food restaurant, they don't say the food is health (in fact the usually out right say it is unhealth), so why would they be to blame. Your body can handle fast food if you do not eat it all the time and you exercise. It is similer to those that start smoking now. Everyone, including the cigarette companies, say it is bad for your health, so they are no longer to blame either (I do agree with them being to blame for those that started smoking at the time that the cigarette companies advertised that it was not unhealth when all external reports stated it was). I think that it is a combination. However, the main thing to blame for obesity, in my opinion, is nature and the fast rate at which we are advancing technologically. We are hardwired to crave fat, carbs and sugars. This is because thousands of years ago food was hard to come by and people starved. Therefore our bodies adjusted so that when a fat (etc.) was available the person would consume as much as possible. Later they may not be able to find good food for awhile. Now, in just the last hundred years in America food has become overly available and a large percentage of the population are gaining weight because are bodies are still running on the thought that they must have it now cause they don't know when they are going to get it again. Anyway, the answer didn't come out quite right so I'll work on it. But you may get the gist of it. By the way, this is what my psych. professor told the class last year. Food companies are now having to label their foods differently in Canada and the U.S. and well they should because there are hidden sugars, etc., in them. Some of the names you can't even pronounce. If you can't pronounce it don't eat it! If bread lasts on your counter for a week without mold, you're buying the wrong bread. Better restrictions are being put on healthier foods and yes, one can blame places like MacDonalds and other fast food places for obesity, but not enough to sue them. As the above poster stated we all have choices and know what is good for us and what is not. Having fast food once in awhile is OK, but most of the time we should be aware to stay away from pre-made foods and make our own meals from scratch so we have some idea what is in our foods. 3 things that make us want certain foods is sugar, salt and fat! I feel it's up to the individual to be responsible for their own health.
