Obesity Etiology
• Majority of obese subjects are affected by
common obesity of multifactorial origin
What Causes Common Obesity?
accumulation of body fat
over time
as a result of energy
imbalance
Due to a state where
calorie intake is more
than calorie
expenditure.
Obesity Etiology is Complex
• Obesity is directly
Caused by increased
food intake and
decreased physical
activity in genetically
predisposed individuals,
this process is complex
and does not operate in
a vacuum.
• A wide range of factors
influence obesity;
–
–
–
–
–
–
Lifestyle
Social
Psychological
Financial
Cultural an
Environmental
Complications, comorbidities and
barriers to obesity management

Armamentarium for Obesity
Treatment
• Bariatric Surgery
• Anti-obesity Drugs
• Behavioral Modification
– Diet & physical activity
Comprehensive Approach to
Obesity Management
• Should not focus on
food and calorie only
Behavior Modification for
Prevention and Treatment
of Obesity
Lifestyle Changes,
Diet & Physical Activity
Cardinal Behaviors of Successful Long-term Weight
Management
• Self-monitoring:
– Daily food records
– Limit certain foods or food quantity
– Weight: check body weight >1 x/wk
• Low-calorie, low-fat diet:
– Total energy intake: 1300-1400 kcal/d
– Energy intake from fat: 20%-25%
• Eat breakfast daily
• Regular physical activity: 2500-3000 kcal/wk (eg, walk 4 miles/d)
Klem et al. Am J Clin Nutr 1997;66:239.
McGuire et al.Int J Obes Relat Metab Disord 1998;22:572.
Diet Principles
• Diet selection depends on the subjects'
preferences and comorbidities;
• Diets with defined number of calories may be
beneficial
– Portion-controlled foods
– Shakes
– food bars

What is the Evidence for Lifestyle
Interventions?
Look AHEAD (Action for Health in Diabetes)
• Multicenter randomized clinical trial
Intensive lifestyle intervention (ILI)
vs
Diabetes support and education (DSE; the control group)
• Outcome: Incidence of major CVD events
•
5145 overweight or obese individuals with T2DM
(59.5% female; mean age, 58.7 years)
• > 93% of participants provided outcomes data at each annual
assessment.
Arch Intern Med. 2010;170(17):1566-1575
At each session, participants were weighed, self-monitoring records were
reviewed, and a new lesson was presented.
Arch Intern Med. 2010;170(17):1566-1575
Intensive Lifestyle Intervention (ILI)
Diet:
• Calorie goal (1200-1800 kcal/d)
• < 30% of calories fat (10% saturated fat)
• Minimum of 15% of calories from
protein
• Portion-controlled diet (liquid meal
replacements) was used to increase
dietary adherence
Exercise:
• At least 175 min of physical activity / wk
• Activities intensity similar to brisk
walking.
Behavioral strategies:
• Self-monitoring, Goal setting and
Problem solving
Diabetes Support and Education (DSE)
•
Invited to 3 group sessions each year.
•
Sessions used a standardized
protocol and focused on:
– Diet
– physical activity
– social support
•
Information on behavioral strategies
was not presented
•
Participants were not weighed at
these sessions.

Bariatric Surgery
NIH Consensus Development Panel
Recommendations
• Patients seeking therapy for severe obesity for the first time should be
considered for treatment in a nonsurgical program that integrates a
dietary regimen, appropriate exercise, behavior modification, and
psychological support
• Gastric restrictive or bypass procedures could be considered for wellinformed and motivated patients in whom the operative risks were
acceptable
• Patients who are candidates for surgical procedures should be selected
carefully after evaluation by a multidisciplinary team with medical,
surgical, psychiatric, and nutritional expertise
• Patients should undergo lifelong medical surveillance after surgery.
NIH Consensus Development Panel. Ann Intern Med
1991;115:956.
The Evidence
• Currently, there are no randomized, long-term
studies in existence.
Swedish Obese Subjects
(SOS) Study
• Prospective, non-randomized matched cohort
study
• The largest and longest comparison of bariatric
surgery and medical management.
• 4047 obese subjects.
– Surgery group: 2010 bariatric surgery
– Matched Control group: 2037 “conventionally
treated”
Sjöström et al, N Engl J Med 2004;351:2683-93.
Mortality in SOS
• Mortality benefit after
an average of 10.9
years follow up.
• NNT is 77 to save one
life after 10 years in
SOS subjects.
Sjöström et al, N Engl J Med 2007;357:741-52
Limitations of SOS
• Non-randomized
• Potential treatment bias: The medical management of the
controls varied from no treatment to intensive medical therapy.
• Potential selection bias: patients undergoing surgery healthier.
• The impact of more modern medical management might
narrow the SOS morbidity and mortality
– 13% of the entire SOS cohort had either DM or previous MI or stroke
– < 2% of the cohort was on a statin.
Sjöström et al, N Engl J Med 2004;351:2683-93.
Cons of Surgery
•
•
•
•
•
•
Nutrients Malabsorptions
Medications side-effects
No reductions for cost of mediation.. Post op
Mental health issues and addictions
Increase VTE,
Increased Hospitalization
Medications & Nutrients Absorption
• Effect of Gastric Bypass procedures:
•
•
•
•
Decreased Drug solubility
Decreased surface area for absorption
Unpredictable site of absorption
Change in gastric PH
– Nutrient deficiency
– Need for lifelong supplements
– Decreased absorption and medication efficacy
Increases Risk for Medication
Adverse Events
• Reduced size of the stomach increases risk for
adverse events associated with
– NSAIDS
– ASA
– Oral bisphosphonates.
Medication Costs
• SOS
• Surgery did not result in decreased medication
costs as
• decreased diabetes and cardiovascular
medications were offset by increased GI tract,
NSAIDs, pain, anemia and vitamin deficiency
medications.
Narbro K, et al. Arch Intern Med 2002; 162:2061-9.
Longitudinal Assessment of
Bariatric Surgery 1 (LABS-1) trial
• Prospective, multicenter, observational Study
• 4776 consecutive patients undergoing bariatric
surgical
• Within 30 days of surgery, 5% of patient has VTE;
reintervention; or failure to be discharged
Flum et al. NEJM 2009;361:445-54
Complications of Bariatric Surgery

Other Factors Influencing Mortality
• Age > 65; 30 day mortality 4.8 %
• Surgeons and Hospitals performing < 100
procedures a year
– OR 2.5 and 2.3 compared to high volume centers
JAMA 2005 Oct 19;294(15):1903-8
Surgery. 2008 Nov;144(5):736-43. Epub 2008 Jul 21
Increased Hospitalization
• Retrospective study of administrative data for patients
undergoing Roux-en-Y gastric bypass in California from 1995
to 2004 .
• 60,077 patients
• 3-year post-operative follow up data was available for 24,678
patients
• Results:
– Pre-procedure hospitalizations occurred in 8.4%
– First post-operative year occurred in 20.2% (NNH=9)
– Second post-operative year 18.4% (NNH=10)
– Third post-operative 14.9% (NNH=16)
Zingmond DS, et al. JAMA 2005; 294:1918-1924.
Post Operative Mortality
• 16,155 Medicare beneficiaries underwent
bariatric procedures between 1997-2002.
– 1-year mortality
– Overall 4.6% (NNH=22)
– Men 7.5% (NNH=14)
– Women 3.7% (NNH=27) and
– Aged 65 years and older 11.1% (NNH=9).
Flum DR ,JAMA 2005; 294:1903-1908
Failure to Lose Weight & Weight Regain
• Regain of lost weight occurs in up to 20% in
2nd and 3rd year post-op
– Noncompliant eating and other behavioral
– Gradual enlargement of the gastric pouch
– Dilation of the gastrojejunal anastomosis
Obes Surg 2002 Apr;12(2):270-5
Am J Surg 1984 Sep;148(3):331-6
Psychosocial Impacts
• Surgery may increase risk for substance
misuse and addictions.
– Neurochemical void caused by restricted food
ingestion
– Substitute other substances or behaviors to boost
dopamine to get the feel-good effect
– Change in alcohol absorption and metabolism
after Gastric Bypass
Med Clin N Am 91 (2007) 451–469
After bariatric surgery, there is higher than
expected;
– Suicide
– Depressions
– Eating disorders
Med Clin N Am 91 (2007) 451–469
• Patients with history of psychiatric disorders should
have appropriate care before and after bariatric
surgery.
• We are not able to fully predict which surgical
patients will have suboptimal weight loss or suffer
from clinically significant psychosocial complications.
• Patients with active psychiatric illnesses, suicidal
ideation and substance abuse should not undergo
surgery.
The Bottom Line
More Evidence is Needed!
• There is need for good-quality, long-term RCTs comparing
different operative techniques and non-surgical treatment for
obesity.
• Theses future studies should include an assessment of
– patient quality of life
– psychosocial consequences of surgery and
– impact on mortality in the context of current treatment trends for
cardiovascular diseases and diabetes.
• Results from ongoing, well-designed studies using intensive
medical therapy in patients with obesity are awaited.
Managing all the modifiable factors contributing to obesity

Social
• Patients with severe
obesity should be
treated initially in a
medical program that
focus on
–
–
–
–
Diet
Activity
Lifestyle changes
Behavior modification,
and
– Specialized psychosocial
assessment and support
• Bariatric Surgery is a
useful tool in the
management of obesity
for carefully selected
individuals and is not a
quick fix
• Surgery should be
offered ONLY to
candidates who the
benefits of surgery
outweigh the expected
medical, psychosocial
and financial harms.
• Failure to adhere to
behavior modification
and addressing the
psychosocial
determinants of obesity
cannot be fixed by
bariatric surgery
• Physicians should be
knowledgeable of pros
and cons of bariatric
surgery and the
availability of
alternative treatment
strategies.
Lets Talk Numbers
• 2008-2009 total 2385 procedures in Canada
• Ontario Bariatric Network planned to provide 2000 surgeries
per year
• 5.8 % of Canadian has BMI that qualifies for Surgery App = 1.9
Million
• Assuming that 10% will request Surgery (190,000)
• Requires about 20,000 procedure per year over 10 year
