special cases in hypertension: morbid obesity simon thom 31 st october 2006
TRANSCRIPT
1949 “…an epidemic; under the right economic & social
circumstances, obesity from overeating will be a dominant nutritional problem.”
1965 “While our calorie input goes up our output goes down.
The wonderful advances of technology not merely free us from back-breaking toil; they make it almost impossible to get a decent amount of calorie-using exercise.”
Ancel Keys

There are now more young people who are overweight through calorie excess
than there are young people who are starving.

The energy gap
The energy gap that explains the increased prevalence of obesity is only ~100 kcal/day.
This means that most of the population weight gain could be eliminated by a combination of increasing energy expenditure & reducing energy intake by 100 kcal/day.
Walking a mile, whether done all at once or divided up across the day, burns ~100 kcal.

A hollow band is placed around the stomach near its upper end, creating a small pouch & a narrow passage into the larger remainder of the stomach. The band is then inflated with saline. It can be tightened or loosened to change the size of the passage by increasing or decreasing the volume of saline.

Scripps ghrelin vaccine was injected into male rats. Ghrelin secreted by the rats when they had not eaten is sequestered by vaccine-induced antibodies, reducing the ability of ghrelin to reach the brain, where it acts
