Obesity and Treatment

Obesity or obesity, as it is known to the public, is the result of many factors affecting the general health (such as cardiovascular system, respiratory system, hormonal system, digestive system) resulting from fat accumulation in the body as a result of the effect, is a disease; effective and lasting treatment is required.

How Can Your Weight Status Be Determined?
Body Mass Index (BMI) and Waist / Hip Ratio (BMI) are calculated to assess the weight status and health risk of adult subjects.

Body Mass Index (BMI)
Body Mass Index = Weight (kg) / Boy2 (m)



Determination of the degree of obesity according to Body Mass Index:
For example:

For a 30 year old adult with 170 cm and 62 kg:
BMI: 62 (kg) / [1.7 (m) x 1.7 (m)]
BMI: 62 (kg) / 2.89 (m) 2
BMI: 21,45 (kg / m2)
The adult individual in our example is within normal limits.

You can calculate the lowest, ideal, and top kiln you need to be by establishing the right ratio between Body Mass Index and age-normal values

II.Bel / Hip Ratio (BKO)
When standing, the widest part of the waist and the widest part of the hip are measured and the ratio of each other (waist / hip) is calculated. Waist circumference is the abdominal fat (abdominal fat).

For waist circumference: It is recommended that it is 102cm for men and 88cm for women. Waist / hip ratio: 0,9 for males and 0,8 for females. Above these values ​​is a risk factor for heart disease and non-insulin dependent diabetes mellitus.

Obesity (Obesity) Reasons:
Obesity occurs as a result of a long-term energy imbalance. The main reasons for this are:

Overeating (unbalanced nutrition): The most important factor is overeating, resulting in an increase in the amount of energy taken and spent in favor of obesity.
Lack of physical movements: Generally, inactive persons eat as much as the moving ones. As can be understood from this, the energy balance of the inactive ones is deteriorating.
Psychological disorders: Some people tend to eat too much to cover their sadness, distress and insecurity. There may be the opposite. Psychological disorders, sometimes overeating, sometimes less
Metabolic and hormonal disorders: This type of obesity covers a very small proportion of obesity in the population. As is known, some horns affect the rate of basal metabolism. The slowing of basal metabolism by hormonal reasons can lead to the storage of some of the food items taken, reducing energy expenditure. Only these people are often immobile and fattening may depend on this cause.
Hereditary factors: Although it is suggested that obesity is inherited, it is believed that this is due to the eating habits of the family rather than a hereditary change. In a study conducted, it was stated that the obesity rate of the normal parent's children was 8-9%, while that of a parent was 40% of the obesity frequency in children and 80% in the obese type.
Discomforts caused by obesity
Psychological disorders and social discrepancies: Obesity is not aesthetically pleasing nowadays, causing serious psychological problems especially in young people.
Respiratory system: Obesity creates a mechanical load which makes breathing difficult, further increasing the amount of carbon dioxide in the stamina to increase the tendency to sleep.
Skeletal and muscular system: Arthroses of the flatfoot, knee and hip are more common in obesity, varicose veins and varicose veins are easily formed in the skeletal and muscular system, which is forced under additional weight, and hernia can easily form as a result of weakening in abdominal muscles.
Endocrine and Metabolic Diseases: Diabetes mellitus is the leading cause of these group disorders. The most important cause of Type 2 (adult type) diabetes is obesity. Triglyceride levels are high in obese. Free fatty acids increase. HDL cholesterol (good cholesterol) level falls. This is caused by a triple atherosclerosis (atherosclerosis).
Cardiovascular diseases: Hypertension is common. Hypertension, triglyceride elevation and low HDL lead to atherosclerotic coronary artery disease. Angina pectoris, heart attack and heart failure are more common in obesity, but with the weakening of the individual, positive improvements are seen in these diseases.
Bile stone and stone complications are more common.
Postoperative complications such as wound infection and suturing are more frequent.
Excessive formation of subcutaneous fat tissue increases skin infections. Muscle infections are common in the muscles and feet.
Gynecological diseases are more common, birth is also difficult and risky.
