Obesity: a ticking time bomb
Obesity is a substantial public health crisis with prevalence increasing in an
alarming way.
The obesity rate in the UAE is double the world average, according to a disease
study report.
WHO: More than 2.1 billion people – close to 30 % of the global population – are
overweight or obese
A study by the research company McKinsey Global Institute, Overcoming Obesity:
an Initial Economic Analysis, published in November, predicts that almost half of the
world’s adult population could be overweight or obese by 2030.
However, according to a report entitled the Global Burden of Disease Study 2013, by
the University of Washington’s Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation, more
than 66 per cent of men and 60 per cent of women in the UAE are already overweight
or obese.
The economic burden of obesity in UAE is US$6 billion [Dh22bn] annually.”
obesity is costing the world $2 trillion a year!!!!
The National UAE, report 18 February 2015
Data from the International Diabetes Federation to mark World Diabetes Day in
November 2014 showed that there were 803,900 diabetics in the UAE, about 19 per
cent of the population
Dr Mohammed Farghaly, head of insurance medical regulation at the Dubai Health
Authority, estimated that 1.8 million people could suffer from diabetes in the UAE
within a few years.
“Diabetes is considered a major health issue in our community now, and the
prevalence of diabetic people is increasing, which urges us to raise awareness about
this disease.”
People must be aware that the disease can be avoided by losing weight, doing more
exercise and eating a better diet

Obesity: a ticking time bomb
What Causes Overweight and Obesity?
Lack of Energy Balance
To maintain a healthy weight, your energy IN and OUT don't have to balance
exactly every day. It's the balance over time that helps you maintain a healthy
weight.
An Inactive Lifestyle
In fact, more than 2 hours a day of regular TV viewing time has been linked to overweight and obesity.
Other reasons for not being active include: relying on cars instead of walking, fewer physical demands at work or at home because of modern technology and conveniences.

What causes overweight and obesity?
Environment
Our environment doesn't support healthy lifestyle habits; in fact, it encourages
obesity. Some reasons include:
Lack of neighborhood sidewalks.
Work schedules.
Lack of access to healthy foods.
Food advertising. People are surrounded by ads from food companies. Often
children are the targets of advertising for high-calorie, high-fat snacks and sugary
drinks. The goal of these ads is to sway people to buy these high-calorie foods, and
often they do.

What Causes Overweight and Obesity?
Family History
Children adopt the habits of their parents. A child who has overweight parents who
eat high-calorie foods and are inactive will likely become overweight too. However,
if the family adopts healthy food and physical activity habits, the child's chance of
being overweight or obese is reduced.

Could obesity be related to genetics?
Since 2007 scientists have known that a gene named FTO was related to obesity
and people with higher Body Mass Index have been found to carry a variant of this
gene.
Now, researchers at MIT and Harvard Medical School believe they have discovered
that a faulty version of this gene causes energy from food to become stored as fat in
the body rather than be burned, contributing to obesity.
In the study, published in the New England Journal of Medicine, scientists took cell
samples from Europeans with either a healthy or faulty version of the FTO gene.
The findings showed that the faulty FTO gene ‘switched on’ two other genes –
IRX3 and IRX5 – which have been identified as the “master controllers” of
thermogenesis as they can prevent the process in which energy is turned into heat,
meaning it is instead stored as fat.

What Causes Overweight and Obesity?
Health Conditions
hypothyroidism, Cushing's syndrome, and polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS).
Medicines
corticosteroids, antidepressants, and seizure medicines.
These medicines can slow the rate at which your body burns calories, increase your
appetite, or cause your body to hold on to extra water.
Emotional Factors
Some people eat more than usual when they're bored, angry, or stressed.
Smoking
Some people gain weight when they stop smoking. One reason is that food often
tastes and smells better after quitting smoking.
Another reason is because nicotine raises the rate at which your body burns
calories, so you burn fewer calories when you stop smoking. However, smoking is a
serious health risk, and quitting is more important than possible weight gain.
National institutes of health, National heart lung and Blood institutes
What Causes Overweight and Obesity?
Age
As you get older, you tend to lose muscle, especially if you're less active. Muscle loss can slow down the rate at which your body burns calories.
Midlife weight gain in women is mainly due to aging and lifestyle, but menopause also plays a role. Many women gain about 5 pounds during menopause and have more fat around the waist than they did before.
Pregnancy
women gain weight to support their babies’ growth and development. After giving birth, some women find it hard to lose weight.
Lack of Sleep
Sleep helps maintain a healthy balance of the hormones that make you feel hungry (ghrelin) or full (leptin). When you don't get enough sleep, your level of ghrelin goes up and your level of leptin goes down. This makes you feel hungrier than when you're well-rested.
Sleep also affects how your body reacts to insulin. Lack of sleep results in a higher than normal blood sugar level, which may increase your risk for diabetes.

Endocrine society guidelines In January, 2015, the Endocrine Society released new guidelines on the treatment of
obesity to include the following:
Diet, exercise, and behavioral modification should be included in all obesity
management approaches for body mass index (BMI) of 25 kg/m 2 or higher. Other
tools, such as pharmacotherapy for BMI of 27 kg/m 2 or higher with comorbidity or
BMI over 30 kg/m2 and bariatric surgery for BMI of 35 kg/m 2with comorbidity or
BMI over 40 kg/m 2.
Drugs may amplify adherence to behavior change and may improve physical
functioning such that increased physical activity is easier in those who cannot
exercise initially. Patients who have a history of being unable to successfully lose
and maintain weight and who meet label indications are candidates for weight loss
medications.

Endocrine society guidelines
To promote long-term weight maintenance, the use of approved weight loss medication is suggested to ameliorate comorbidities and amplify adherence to behavior changes, which may improve physical functioning and allow for greater physical activity in individuals with a BMI of 30 kg/m 2 or higher or in individuals with a BMI of 27 kg/m 2 and at least one associated comorbid medical condition (hypertension, dyslipidemia, type 2 diabetes mellitus, and obstructive sleep apnea).
If a patient's response to a weight loss medication is deemed effective (weight loss of 5% or more of body weight at 3 mo) and safe, it is recommended that the medication be continued. If deemed ineffective (weight loss less than 5% at 3 mo) or if there are safety or tolerability issues at any time, it is recommended that the medication be discontinued and alternative medications or referral for alternative treatment approaches be considered.

Endocrine society guidelines In patients with type 2 diabetes who are overweight or obese,
antidiabetic medications that have additional actions to promote weight loss (such as glucagon-like peptide-1 [GLP-1] analogs or sodium-glucose-linked transporter-2 [SGLT-2] inhibitors) are suggested, in addition to the first-line agent for type 2 diabetes mellitus and obesity, metformin.
In obese patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus who require insulin therapy, at least one of the following is suggested: metformin, pramlintide, or GLP-1 agonists to mitigate associated weight gain due to insulin.
Angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors, angiotensinreceptor blockers (ARBs), and calcium channel blockers, rather than beta-adrenergic blockers, should be considered as first-line therapy for hypertension in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus who are obese.

WHO classification
The most widely accepted classifications are those from the World Health
organization based on BMI:
o Grade 1 overweight (commonly and simply called overweight) - BMI of 25-29.9 kg/m 2
o Grade 2 overweight (commonly called obesity) - BMI of 30-39.9 kg/m 2
o Grade 3 overweight (commonly called severe or morbid obesity) - BMI ≥40 kg/m 2
Some authorities advocate a definition of obesity based on percentage of body fat, as follows:
o Men - Percentage of body fat greater than 25%, with 21-25% being borderline
o Women - Percentage of body fat great than 33%, with 31-33% being borderline
Obesity related comorbidities
The clinician should also determine whether the patient has had any of the
comorbidities related to obesity, including the following :
Respiratory - Obstructive sleep apnea, respiratory infections, increased incidence of
bronchial asthma, and Pickwickian syndrome (obesity hypoventilation syndrome)
Malignant - Association with endometrial, prostate, colon, breast, gall bladder, and
possibly lung cancer
Psychological - Social stigmatization and depression
Cardiovascular - Coronary artery disease, essential hypertension, left ventricular
hypertrophy, cardiomyopathy, accelerated atherosclerosis, and pulmonary
hypertension of obesity

Obesity related comorbidities
Reproductive (in men) - Hypogonadotropic hypogonadism
Cutaneous - Intertrigo (bacterial and/or fungal), acanthosis nigricans, hirsutism, and
increased risk for cellulitis and carbuncles
Extremity - Venous varicosities, lower extremity venous and/or lymphatic edema
Miscellaneous - Reduced mobility and difficulty maintaining personal hygiene
Management
Treatment of obesity starts with comprehensive lifestyle management (diet,
physical activity, behavior modification).The 3 major phases of any successful
weight-loss program are as follows:
A. Preinclusion screening phase
B. Weight-loss phase
C. Maintenance phase - This can conceivably last for the rest of the patient's life but
ideally lasts for at least 1 year after the weight-loss program has been completed

Medications
i. Centrally acting medications that impair dietary intake
ii. Medications that act peripherally to impair dietary absorption
iii. Medications that increase energy expenditure
Surgery
• Among the standard bariatric procedures are the following:
• Roux-en-Y gastric bypass
• Adjustable gastric banding
• Gastric sleeve surgery
• Vertical sleeve gastrectomy
• Horizontal gastroplasty
• Vertical-banded gastroplasty
• Duodenal-switch procedures
• Biliopancreatic bypass
• Biliopancreatic diversion
FDA approved medication
• The only medication approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in UAE for long-term management of obesity is orlistat(XENICAL)
What is XENICAL?
• XENICAL therapeutic category: gastrointestinal lipase inhibitor
• Indicated in conjunction with a mildly hypo caloric diet for treatment of obese patients with a BMI ≥ 30 kg/m², or overweight patients (BMI > 28 kg/m²) with associated risk factors.
• It is used to loose weight and maintain weight loss
Xenical Summary of Product Characteristics
Mode of Action of XENICAL
• Xenical binds to the lipase enzyme in the stomach and intestine and inhibits its action
• Prevents the absorption of dietary fat by 30%
• Undigested fat is eliminated in the faeces.
Xenical US Prescribing Information
Acts Non Systemically
Xenical Summary of Product Characteristics
Contraindications:
- Hypersensitivity to the active substance or to any of the excipients.
- Chronic malabsorption syndrome.
- Cholestasis
- Breast-feeding
Dosage and Administration:
Recommended dose of XENICAL is one capsule, 3 daily taken with water immediately before or with each main meal or up to 1 hour after the meal
If a meal is missed or contains no fat, the dose should be skipped.
Orlistat may reduce absorption of some fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, E, K) and beta carotene. Administer a multivitamin supplement containing fat-soluble vitamins orally daily, 2 hours before or 1 hour after a meal
In order to ensure adequate vitamins intake, patients following a diet should be advised to have a diet rich in fruits or vegetables.
Xenical capsules should be stored below 250C.
Xenical Summary of Product Characteristics
If tolerability is an issue!
At the full dose of 120 mg 3 times daily, XENICAL is frequently associated with
such adverse GI events as flatulence, oily stool, diarrhea, and stool incontinence.
Frequently, these adverse events result from the common misconception that
because orlistat blocks fat absorption, people can consume more fat. It is important
to advise patients to reduce total fat intake while on orlistat to reduce the frequency
and severity of adverse events.
XENICAL Drugs interactions
If patient receiving cyclosporine, administer cyclosporine 3 hr after orlistat
For patients receiving levothyroxine, administer orlistat 4 hr apart
In particular, patients on warfarin need closer monitoring because of the potential
for malabsorption of vitamin K.
Efficacy of XENICAL:
Xenical can reduce 5% to 10% of the body weight when accompanied with lifestyle
modification.
Studies have also shown its efficacy among the adolescent age group (12-16 years)
with no major safety issues (except common GI adverse events).
