What is obesity?
  • Obesity is not weight or size
  • Obesity is extra fatness
  • How can this be measured?
  • Obesity is a health problem
  • Obesity is not a fashion problem
  • How can we get this through?

3
Definition of Obesity
  • Classification BMI Risk
    of Co-morbidities
  • Underweight lt 18.5 Low (risk of other clinical
  • problems increased)
  • Normal range 18.5 - 24.9 Average
  • Overweight gt 25
  • Pre-obese 25 - 29.9 Increased
  • Obese class I 30.0 - 34.9 Moderate
  • Obese class II 35.0 - 39.9 Severe
  • Obese Class III gt 40.0 Very Severe

What is obesity in the Asian region ?
  • A long history of discussion indecision
  • Previous meetings
  • IOTF discussions
  • WHO Technical Report 1997
  • Regional Forum (held with PASOO)
  • Formation of Asia Pacific Region of IASO
  • WHO Meeting Tokyo 1998
  • Meeting Hong Kong (IASO, IOTF WHO)
  • Meeting Milan 1999
  • Working Group on Obesity in China 2000 (and 2001)
  • Asia Pacific Perspective, February 2000

Historical Facts
  • Japanese higher BP for weight compared to
    Americans
  • (Comstock et al., 1985, Baba et al., 1991)
  • Australian Aboriginals (ODea)
  • Diabetes at BMI gt 22
  • Haemoglobin A1C increased (Tai et al., 1992)
  • BMI of 24.1 in urban Japanese
  • BMI of 23.1 Chinese (Taiwan)
  • Melbourne Chinese (Hsu-Hage et al., 1993)
  • 50 the overweight obesity yet same
    hypertension dyslipidaemia
  • High WHR

14
History continued
  • Cervical Cancer (Guo et al., 1994)
  • Mortality related to BMI gt 22
  • Blood Pressure in Japanese (Inoue)
  • 3 times risk at BMI 24.9
  • Increment at 22.3
  • Southern Chinese (Folsom etal., 1994)
  • Despite low BMI - dyslipidaemia, BP

15
Coronary Heart Disease and BMI in Asian
populations.
  • Japanese Americans (Burchfield et al., 1996)
  • Risk increases at BMI gt 23
  • Risk doubles at BMI gt 26
  • Hong Kong Chinese (Ho et al., 1994)
  • BMI 20.4 -23.7, lowest mortality in women
  • Remember, age standardised CHD mortality in Hong
    Kong Chinese in Japanese is 25 of that for USA
    and UK (Woo et al., 1998)

16
Overweight Obesity in Asia
  • Japan
  • High W/H ratios
  • Nadir of BMI 22.2
  • Hypertension (3x increased at BMI 24.9)
  • BMI increase related to fat intake
  • Malaysia
  • Appearing in rural population
  • Android obesity in females (30.6)
  • Younger are overweight not obese
  • Indian womens weight increases after 1st child

17
Differences in the relationship between body fat
percent and body mass index between Indonesian
and Dutch males and females.
Deurenberg et al, 1999

Risks of Obesity
  • RR gtgt 3 RR 2-3 RR 1-2
  • Type 2 diabetes CHD Cancer
  • Dyslipidaemia Hypertension PCOS
  • Insulin Resistance
  • Gall bladder disease Osteoarthritis Infertility
  • Sleep apnoea Gout Anaesthetic risk

Relative Risk of Metabolic DiseaseTaiwan Series
2000, age sex adjusted, 148,545 individuals
22
Risks of Obesity (Korea)
  • Annual Health Examination Survey 1994-7
  • BMI gt 28 (adjusted for age sex)
  • hypertension 4.1
  • diabetes 2.2
  • dyslipidaemia 3.7
  • Kim et al., 1997
  • BMI gt 26 (m), BMI gt 25 (f)
  • diabetes 3.2
  • increased TG 2.1

23
Obesity in Asia
  • BMI Classification Action
  • 18.5-22.9 Healthy Maintain
  • 23-25 Overweight At least maintain
  • or reduce
  • 25-30 Obesity 1 Program
  • Drug
  • 30 Obesity II Program Drug
  • VLCD

26
Abdominal Adiposity 3Men WomenDespres et al.,
1994
27
Abdominal Adiposity in Asia
  • Knowledge that abdominal adiposity
  • More common
  • Greater at lower BMI
  • Recommendations for high risk
  • Male gt 90 cm (102 cm)
  • Female gt 80 cm (88 cm)
  • These need to be determined !

Obesity in perspective
30
Aetiology of Obesity
  • Genes havent changed
  • Therefore
  • Environment has changed
  • Relative affluence
  • Availability of food
  • Urbanisation
  • Alteration in Food intake
  • Less Activity

31
Genetics Obesity
  • Several single gene defects
  • Leptin synthesis
  • MCR4 gene
  • cleavage enzyme
  • Extreme obesity, hypogonadotrophic hypogonadism
  • Varying types of inheritance
  • Mainly recessive

Weight, Fat Activity
  • UK period 1970-90
  • Energy intake -750 cal
  • BMI 1.0
  • Body weight 2.5kg
  • (Prentice Jebb, 1995)
  • Energy needed for weight gain
  • 50 cal/day
  • Physical activity must have fallen by 800
    cal/day!

Prenatal environment
  • Small babies (lt2.5kg) more likely to develop
    metabolic disease as adults
  • Problem in India
  • Urban poor, late adolescence
  • 50 hypertension
  • 15 diabetes, 15 IGT
  • ? Due to inadequate nutrition
  • ? Particular problem in whole of Asia

The management of obesity
42
Effects of 10 weight loss
  • Mortality
  • 20 decrease in overall
  • 30 decrease in diabetes related deaths
  • 40 decrease in cancer related deaths
  • Blood pressure
  • 10 mm Hg decrease
  • Lipids
  • 15 decrease in cholesterol
  • Decreases in other lipids
  • Diabetes
  • Better control
  • Less medications SIGN, 1996

43

45
Obesity in our region
  • BMI WHO Asia
  • 18.5 -24.9 Healthy
  • 18.5 - 23 Healthy
  • 23 - 25 At risk
  • 25 - 29.9 Pre-obese Obese I
  • 30 - 34.9 Obese I Obese II
  • 35 - 39.9 Obese II
  • 40 Obese III

46
When to use Sibutramine
  • High BMI (gt30)
  • Relate BMI and risk - in Asia BMI gt 25
  • Abdominal adiposity
  • Diabetes
  • Dyslipidaemia
  • IHD
  • OSA
  • Inadequate loss after 12 weeks in Lifestyle
    Program
  • Acute loss necessary

47
Use of Sibutramine in Asia
  • BMI gt 25
  • Program
  • Add Sibutramine if no loss in 12 weeks
  • BMI gt 25 with risks
  • Program
  • Add Sibutramine
  • Treat risks (diabetes, BP, dyslipidaemia)
  • BMI gt 30
  • Program Sibutramine
  • Consider additional therapy
