The document discusses obesity and overweight, defining them as excess body weight and fat storage. It notes that obesity is influenced by both genetic and environmental factors, and identifies some common causes like lack of physical activity, unhealthy diets, pregnancy, lack of sleep, certain medical conditions and medications. The health risks of obesity are also summarized, including increased risk of diseases like diabetes, heart disease, and certain cancers.
There are two types of abdominal fat: subcutaneous and visceral fat. Visceral fat surrounds internal organs in the abdominal cavity while subcutaneous fat lies beneath the skin. Abdominal CT scans can be used to distinguish and measure visceral and subcutaneous fat deposits, which have different impacts on health risks such as inflammation and effects on the liver and kidneys.
Obesity is defined as excess body fat that negatively impacts health, reducing life expectancy and increasing health risks. It is caused by poor nutrition and lack of physical activity. Obesity raises the likelihood of heart disease, diabetes, breathing issues, certain cancers, and arthritis. Exercising for at least 60 minutes daily and eating a healthy diet low in junk food and high in water can help treat obesity.
Obesity results from an energy imbalance where more calories are consumed than expended. It can be caused by genetic and environmental factors like diet, activity levels, and lifestyle. Managing obesity involves creating a caloric deficit through diet and exercise. Regular physical activity is important for weight maintenance even without substantial weight loss, as it provides significant health benefits and lowers disease risk. Behavioral modification techniques can also help prevent weight regain after weight loss is achieved.

The document discusses obesity and its associated risks. It defines obesity as a chronic energy imbalance where calories consumed exceed calories expended. Individual behaviors, environment, and genetics all contribute to obesity. Excess weight gain is associated with increased risks of several health conditions like hypertension, cardiovascular disease, and certain cancers. Untreated hypertension can damage vital organs and increase risks of heart attack, stroke, kidney failure, and vision loss.
Obesity is a chronic, debilitating, life long disease giving rise to many other diseases. Severe obesity is
associated with co-morbidities including type 2 DM, hypertension, dyslipidemia, obstructive sleep apnoea,
obesity hypoventilation syndrome, polycystic ovarian syndrome, stateohepatosis, asthma, back and lower
limb degenerative problem, cancer and premature death. Morbid obesity has acquired epidemic proportions in the west. Traditional approaches to weight loss including diet, exercise and medication achieve no more than 5-10 % reduction in body weight with high relapse rates. So far, there was no effective remedy for morbid obesity. Bariatric surgery is the only effective means of achieving long term weight loss in the severely obese. The international guideline for bariatric surgery are BMI > 40 kg/m2 BMI > 35 kg/m2 together with obesity related disease. Bariatric surgery can achieve sustained weight loss durable to at least 15 years and causes marked improvement in co-morbidities.

Dr. Jaymee Shells Perspective on COVID-19Jaymee Shell
油
Dr. Jaymee Shell views the COVID-19 pandemic as both a crisis that exposed weaknesses and an opportunity to build stronger systems. She emphasizes that the pandemic revealed critical healthcare inequities while demonstrating the power of collaboration and adaptability.
Shell highlights that organizations with gender-diverse executive teams are 25% more likely to experience above-average profitability, positioning diversity as a business necessity rather than just a moral imperative. She notes that the pandemic disproportionately affected women of color, with one in three women considering leaving or downshifting their careers.
To combat inequality, Shell recommends implementing flexible work policies, establishing clear metrics for diversity in leadership, creating structured virtual collaboration spaces, and developing comprehensive wellness programs. For healthcare providers specifically, she advocates for multilingual communication systems, mobile health units, telehealth services with alternatives for those lacking internet access, and cultural competency training.
Shell emphasizes the importance of mental health support through culturally appropriate resources, employee assistance programs, and regular check-ins. She calls for diverse leadership teams that reflect the communities they serve and community-centered care models that address social determinants of health.
In her words: "The COVID-19 pandemic didn't create healthcare inequalities it illuminated them." She urges building systems that reach every community and provide dignified care to all.
