proportion of fat cells
 Primarily occurs in the visceral and
subcutaneous tissues of the body

Etiology and Pathophysiology
Genetic/Biologic basis
 Environmental factors
 Psychological factors

** Most common form considered to be
polygenic, arising from the interaction of
multiple genetic and environmental factors
Hormones & Peptides that Interact
with Hypothalamus to Effect Obesity

Classification of Body Weight and
Obesity

Primary obesity (majority of obese)
 Excess
caloric intake for the body’s metabolic
demands

Secondary obesity
 Results
from various congenital anomalies,
chromosomal anomalies, metabolic problems,
or CNS lesions and disorders
Classification of Body Weight and
Obesity

Body mass index (BMI)
 Used
to classify underweight, healthy
(normal) weight, overweight, or obese
 Common clinical index of obesity or altered
body fat distribution
 Uses weight-to-height ratios
BMI chart
Weight for height chart
Classification of Body Weight and
Obesity

Waist-to-hip ratio (WHR)
 Preferred
tool when predominantly muscular
 Waist measurement/hip measurement = ratio
 WHR <0.80 is optimal
 Visceral fat increases risk for cardiovascular
disease and metabolic syndrome
Visceral Fat
Subcutaneous Fat
Classification of Body Shapes
 Apple-shaped
body
 Fat
located primarily in the abdominal area
 At greater risk for obesity-related complications
 Android obesity
 Pear-shaped
 Fat
body
located primarily in upper legs
 Gynoid obesity

Health Risks Associated with
Obesity
Problems occur at higher rates for obese
patients
 Mortality rate rises as obesity increases


Especially with increased visceral fat
Obese patients have a decreased quality
of life
 Most conditions improve with weight loss


 Chronic low self-esteem
 Others related to complications

Planning
Modify eating patterns
 Participate in a regular physical activity
program
 Achieve weight loss to a specified level
 Maintain weight loss at a specified level
 Minimize or prevent health problems
related to obesity

Management: Non-surgical

Behavior modification
Basic techniques include
Self monitoring
 Stimulus control
 Rewards – short term vs long term, what’s
acceptable vs unacceptable

Support groups
Drug Therapy

Appetite-suppressing drugs or
Sympathomimetic drugs for _____ term
use
 Decrease
food intake through nonadrenergic
or serotonergic mechanisms in the CNS
 Phentermine – most commonly prescribed;
causes appetite ___________ and _________
food intake
 Other
exs: Diethylpropion, Phendimetrazine
Drug Therapy

Appetite-suppressing drugs or
Sympathomimetic drugs for ______ term
use
 Mixed
 Do
nonadrenergic–serotonergic agents
not stimulate release of serotonin
 Sibutramine (Meridia) – works by increasing
_____________
Drug Therapy

Nutrient absorption-blocking drugs (GI
lipase inhibitors)
 Work
by blocking fat breakdown and
absorption in intestine
 Orlistat (Xenical)
Drug Therapy
Drugs that ↑ energy expenditure are not
approved by the FDA. Ex: Ephedrine
Appetite-suppressing drugs removed from
market
 fenfluramine
(Pondimin)
 dexfenfluramine (Redux)
Bariatric Surgery
Used to treat morbid obesity
 Currently the only treatment found to
have a successful and lasting impact for
sustained weight loss

Bariatric Surgery

Must meet all of the following criteria to
be considered an ideal candidate
 BMI
≥40 kg/m2 with one or more
obesity-related complication
 18 years or older
 Understands the risks and benefits
 Has been obese for >5 years
 Has tried and failed to lose weight
Bariatric Surgery

Criteria to be considered an ideal
candidate (cont’d)
 Has
no serious endocrine problems
 Has psychiatric and social stability
 Availability of a team of health care providers
 Surgery would ↓ or eradicate high-risk
conditions
Bariatric Surgery

Three broad categories
 Restrictive
 Malabsorptive
 Combination
of restrictive and malabsorptive
Restrictive Surgery
Reduces the size of a stomach to 30 ml or
less
 Causes patient to feel full quicker
 Normal stomach digestion and intestinal
absorption of food

↓
Risk of anemia and cobalamin deficiency
Restrictive Surgery

Vertical banded gastroplasty
 Partitions
stomach into a small pouch in upper
portion
 Small pouch drastically limits capacity
 Stoma opening to rest of stomach is banded
to delay emptying of solid food from proximal
pouch
Restrictive Surgery

Adjustable gastric banding (AGB)
 Also
referred to as the LapBand
 Stomach size is limited by an inflatable band
placed around fundus of stomach
 Band is connected to a subcutaneous port
 Can be inflated or deflated to change stoma
size
Restrictive Surgery

AGB (cont’d)
 Can
be done laparoscopically and can be
modified or reversed
 Better choice for patients who are surgical
risks
 Weight loss is slower than in other procedures
Restrictive Surgeries
Fig. 41-7A
Malabsorptive Surgeries

Biliopancreatic diversion (BPD)
 Removes
~3/4 of stomach to ↓ food intake
and ↓ acid output
 Remaining 1/4 of stomach is connected to
lower portion of small intestine
 Pancreatic enzymes and bile enter final
segment of intestine
 Nutrients pass without being digested
Malabsorptive Surgeries

Biliopancreatic diversion with duodenal
switch
 Variation
of BPD
 By including duodenal switch, surgeons leave
a larger portion of the stomach intact
 Helps prevent dumping syndrome
BPD with or w/o doudenal switch
Bariatric Surgeries
How is weight loss accomplished?
 What are the specific nutritional risks or
adverse effects?
 What should be monitored to avoid
complications?
 What is/are the advantage/s over other
procedures?

Combination of Restrictive and
Malabsorptive Surgery

Roux-en-Y surgical procedure
 Has
low complication rates
 Excellent patient tolerance
 Stomach size is ↓ with a gastric pouch
anastomosis that empties directly into
jejunum
Combination of Restrictive and
Malabsorptive Surgery

Roux-en-Y surgery (cont’d)
 Variations
 Stapling
stomach without transection to create a
small 20- to 30-ml gastric pouch
 Creating an upper and lower gastric pouch and
totally disconnecting the pouches
 Creating an upper gastric pouch and completely
removing the lower pouch
Restrictive Surgery
Fig. 41-7D
Cosmetic Surgeries

Ideal candidates have
 Achieved
weight reduction
 Excess skinfolds or fat

Chooses surgery for cosmetic reasons
 Lipectomy
 Liposuction
Preoperative Care
Room and equipment should consider
patient size prior to arrival
 Obtaining IV access maybe complicated
 Proper breathing techniques, positioning
 Hygiene and skin care prior to admission
 Prevention of wound infection and
dehiscence

Postoperative Care

During transfer ensure that patient’s
 Airway
is stabilized
 Pain is managed
Early __________ is essential
 Patients undergoing bariatric surgery are
often in considerable _________ ____
 Patient is now _______ ______ due to
anatomic changes

Ambulatory and Home Care

Diet prescribed is generally
High protein
 Low in carbohydrates fats & roughage
 6 small feedings
 Fluids not to be ingested with meals :
< 1000 ml/day

first 24 hrs post-op = water, sugar-free liquids Q 2hrs WA
Day 1 to 2 wks = high protein liquids Q 2hrs WA
2-4 wks = pureed at frequent intervals
4-6 wks = transition diet w/solids & pureed
Ambulatory and Home Care

Possible complications from surgery
 Anemia
 Vitamin
deficiencies
 Diarrhea
 Psychiatric problems
 Peptic ulcer formation
 Dumping syndrome
 Small bowel obstruction
Evaluation

Expected outcomes
 Long-term
weight loss
 Improvement in obesity-related comorbidities
 Integration of healthy practices into lifestyle
 Monitoring possible adverse side effects
 Improved self-image
Gerontologic Considerations
Number of older obese persons has risen
 More common in women than men
 Decreased energy expenditure and loss of
muscle mass are important contributors
 Exacerbates age-related problems

Metabolic Syndrome
A group of risk factors that increase an
individual’s chance of developing
cardiovascular disease and diabetes
mellitus
Metabolic Syndrome
Risk factors:
abdominal obesity, insulin resistance
