Book excerpt: La obesidad es hoy en día un problema de salud pública en aumento a nivel mundial tanto en niños como en adultos. En las últimas tres décadas la prevalencia de sobrepeso y la obesidad ha crecido continua y sustancialmente. La Organización Mundial de la Salud (OMS) ha estimado que 170 millones de jóvenes menores de 18 años presentan exceso de peso y ha considerado a la obesidad como una epidemia a nivel mundial. La obesidad es un problema multifactorial, en el que intervienen factores genéticos, ambientales y sociales, por lo que no sería adecuado atribuir el constante incremento en su prevalencia exclusivamente a un solo tipo de estos factores. Muchas de las causas principales de este problema se deben encontrar en el entorno y en la influencia que conlleva el “ambiente obesogénico” que nos rodea y que está ligado e influenciado por los cambios económicos y sociales, que en las últimas décadas han modificado los hábitos dietéticos, e inducido a llevar un estilo de vida cada vez más sedentario y con dietas desequilibradas. En España se han realizado varios estudios para determinar la prevalencia y las causas de la obesidad infantil aunque pocos de ellos en muestras representativas, el más reciente de ellos es el estudio de Alimentación, Actividad física, Desarrollo INfantil y Obesidad (ALADINO), que recoge los datos proporcionados por los niños, sus familias y los centros escolares; utilizando el protocolo de la iniciativa “Childhood Obesity Surveillance Initiative” (COSI), para conseguir resultados que fueran fácilmente comparables con los de otras poblaciones europeas. Los datos recogidos en población infantil española constituyen la base del presente estudio. Por ello, el objeto de la presente tesis doctoral es identificar los factores de riesgo relacionados con el estilo de vida en el entorno familiar, escolar y social que contribuyen al incremento sobrepeso y obesidad, prestando especial atención a los factores relacionados con el estilo de vida sedentario y la inactividad física...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La obesidad infantil es uno de los problemas de salud publica mas graves del siglo XXI. La Organizacion Mundial de la Salud lo califica como epidemia ya que su prevalencia ha aumentado a un ritmo alarmante. La influencia genetica se asocia a los habitos de alimentacion y estilos de vida sedentarios. Los ninos con obesidad y sobrepeso tienden a seguir con exceso de peso en la edad adulta y tienen mas probabilidades de padecer enfermedades cronicas no transmisibles a edades mas tempranas. Se describen los hallazgos en escolares que residen en una ciudad del sur de Argentina, caracterizada por vientos constantes y frios que condicionan habitos de vida en ambientes cerrados. Donde las familias se trasladan en vehiculo la mayor parte del tiempo, con incremento de ingestas alimentarias en cantidad y no necesariamente en calidad por las diferentes ocupaciones, con tiempos breves para la preparacion de las comidas, y disminucion de la practica de actividades al aire libre. El presente libro ademas de servir como punta de investigacion sobre la problematica, senala la necesidad de buscar mejores estrategias de prevencion."

Book Synopsis Obesity Discourse and Fat Politics by : Lee Monaghan
Download or read book Obesity Discourse and Fat Politics written by Lee Monaghan and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2015-12-22 with total page 188 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is considerable rhetoric and concern about weight and obesity across an increasing range of national contexts. Alarmist claims about an ‘obesity time-bomb’ are continually recycled in policy reports, reviews and white papers, each of which begin with the assumption that fatness is fundamentally unhealthy and damaging to national economies. With contributions from the UK, Canada, the USA and Australia, this book offers alternative critical perspectives on this alleged public health crisis which were, in part, developed through an Economic and Social Research Council seminar series on Fat Studies and Health at Every Size (HAES). Written by scholars from a range of disciplines and the health professions, themes include: an interrogation of statistical procedures used to construct the obesity epidemic, overweight and obesity as cultural signifiers for Type 2 diabetes, understandings of healthy eating and healthy weight in a ‘problem’ population, gendered expectations on men and women to lose weight, the visual representation of obesity, tensions when researching (anti-)fatness, critical dietitians’ engagement with HAES, alternative ways of promoting physical activity, and representations of obesity in the media. This book was originally published as a special issue of Critical Public Health.

Book Synopsis Critical Medical Anthropology by : Jennie Gamlin
Download or read book Critical Medical Anthropology written by Jennie Gamlin and published by UCL Press. This book was released on 2020-03-12 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Critical Medical Anthropology presents inspiring work from scholars doing and engaging with ethnographic research in or from Latin America, addressing themes that are central to contemporary Critical Medical Anthropology (CMA). This includes issues of inequality, embodiment of history, indigeneity, non-communicable diseases, gendered violence, migration, substance abuse, reproductive politics and judicialisation, as these relate to health. The collection of ethnographically informed research, including original theoretical contributions, reconsiders the broader relevance of CMA perspectives for addressing current global healthcare challenges from and of Latin America. It includes work spanning four countries in Latin America (Mexico, Brazil, Guatemala and Peru) as well as the trans-migratory contexts they connect and are defined by. By drawing on diverse social practices, it addresses challenges of central relevance to medical anthropology and global health, including reproduction and maternal health, sex work, rare and chronic diseases, the pharmaceutical industry and questions of agency, political economy, identity, ethnicity, and human rights.

Book Synopsis Mini Nutritional Assessment (MNA) by : Bruno J. Vellas
Download or read book Mini Nutritional Assessment (MNA) written by Bruno J. Vellas and published by Karger Medical and Scientific Publishers. This book was released on 1999 with total page 202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is the first of a new series which will present the proceedings of the newly established Nestlé Nutrition Workshop Series: Clinical & Performance Programme aimed at adult nutrition. Undernutrition is a common phenomenon in elderly people, and malnutrition reaches significant levels in those being in hospital, nursing homes or home care programs. Consequences of malnutrition often go unrecognised owing to the lack of specific validated instruments to assess nutritional status in frail elderly persons. The Mini Nutritional Assessment (MNA) provides a single, rapid assessment of nutritional status in the elderly of different degrees of independence, allowing the prevalence of protein-energy malnutrition to be determined and to evaluate the efficacy of nutritional intervention and strategies. Easy, quick and economical to perform, it enables staff to check the nutritional status of elderly people when they enter hospitals or institutions and to monitor changes occurring during their stay. Moreover, the MNA is predictive of the cost of care and length of stay in hospital. This publication will be of immense assistance to heads of geriatric teaching units, teachers in nutrition, clinicians general practitioners and dieticians, enabling them to better detect, recognise and start treatment of malnutrition in the elderly.

Book Synopsis Fitness Measures and Health Outcomes in Youth by : Institute of Medicine
Download or read book Fitness Measures and Health Outcomes in Youth written by Institute of Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2012-12-10 with total page 229 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Physical fitness affects our ability to function and be active. At poor levels, it is associated with such health outcomes as diabetes and cardiovascular disease. Physical fitness testing in American youth was established on a large scale in the 1950s with an early focus on performance-related fitness that gradually gave way to an emphasis on health-related fitness. Using appropriately selected measures to collected fitness data in youth will advance our understanding of how fitness among youth translates into better health. In Fitness Measures and Health Outcomes in Youth, the IOM assesses the relationship between youth fitness test items and health outcomes, recommends the best fitness test items, provides guidance for interpreting fitness scores, and provides an agenda for needed research. The report concludes that selected cardiorespiratory endurance, musculoskeletal fitness, and body composition measures should be in fitness surveys and in schools. Collecting fitness data nationally and in schools helps with setting and achieving fitness goals and priorities for public health at an individual and national level.

Download or read book Hidden Hunger written by H.K. Biesalski and published by Karger Medical and Scientific Publishers. This book was released on 2016-05-24 with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Malnutrition caused by deficiencies of vitamins and minerals - also called hidden hunger - impairs both the intellectual and physical development of a child. Due to the absence of clinical symptoms and assessments, no intervention can be staged. The tragedy is that this, in turn, decreases the child’s chance to escape from poverty. This book looks at malnutrition in high-income countries, the nutrition transition and nutritional deficiencies in low-income countries, consequences of hidden hunger, and interventions to improve nutrition security. Written by leading experts in the field, it clearly stresses that national governments and international organizations must make malnutrition one of their top priorities in order to provide children with optimal conditions for a healthy future.

Book Synopsis Visual Information Processing by : Sal Soraci
Download or read book Visual Information Processing written by Sal Soraci and published by Praeger. This book was released on 2003-03-30 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Visual information processing in humans with intellectual disabilities and in animals is presented, for conceptual and methodological reasons. Much of the evolutionary path of higher primate species has involved the development of sophisticated visual systems that interact with complex, higher-order cognitive processes. Key questions in cognitive science address the manner in which the environment is represented by the organism, and thus relate to how knowledge about the world is gleaned, with implications for theories of action and decision making. Finally, it has become apparent that the distinction between perceptual and cognitive processes is not always a clear one, and that these processes interact in critical ways in underlying complex behavioral repertoires. Consistent with the emphasis in this series on individual differences, both typical and atypical development are explored here. Philosophical approaches to visualism are also presented. Chapters have import both for basic science and for the development of applications.
