“…This relation could also be explained by decrease in physical activity by age both in men and woman (Martinez et al, 2001). Our data confirms the previous results (Delibasi et al, 2007;Gültekin et al, 2009;Ersoy and Imamoglu, 2006), on the higher prevalence of obesity among females compared to men in Turkey. As men have an inclination for physical activity they store excess energy as protein with positive energy balance and active muscle tissue metabolisms have a restrictive impact on gaining excess weight (Philip and Jones, 2010).…”

The purpose of this study was to assess the obesity in correlation with the demographic characteristics, nutritional habits and knowledge among adult obese patients. We used a data collection method carried out with 500 obese adult volunteer patients Afyonkarahisar State Hospital between March and August 2011. Nutritional habits and knowledge score was measured by analysis of 22 question responses and demographic characteristics were sought by questionnaires. Most of obese patients were married (94%), female (85.4%), housewives (75.6%) and settled in province (73.2%). Moreover almost all stated to have breakfast everyday (91.4%) and to prefer vegetables (48.8%) for main meals. Increased emotional eating (71%), from birth and childhood start of weight gain (66.8%), familial story of overweight (79.6%) and no balanced (86.6%) and regular (92.8%) diet consumption were observed among obese patients. Their general knowledge in terms of nutrition was not impressive. Also, they were mostly observed to be interested in health and nutrition related issues (68.4%), nor take physical exercise (87.8%), and were accustomed to eating rapidly (55.2%). Our data also confirmed that lower education level was significantly associated with obesity. Obesity is observed to be significantly associated with some the nutritional habits, nutrition knowledge and demographic characteristics of the patients. The diet quality and physical activity must be promoted with health education programs for all segments of the population with a special focus on woman. Understanding of the complex interplay of several factors may help to increase public awareness and to establish obesity prevention strategies.Asian J. Med. Biol. Res. September 2018, 4(3): 242-250

“…As survival after liver transplantation gets longer, weight gain and obesity have become common health problems for organ recipients. Obesity is seen in approximately 20% of patients after liver transplantation ( 6 ) compared to 20–28% in the general population (9 , 10). Although immunosuppressive medications used after liver transplantation have many known side effects, immunosuppressives’ effect on weight gain has not yet been clarified (8).…”

Prevalence and Risk Factors for Obesity After Liver Transplantation: A Single-Center Experience

BackgroundThe study of weight gain after transplantation and its associated factors is necessary to propose strategies to prevent and treat this problem.ObjectivesThis study aims to investigate factors affecting the development of obesity after liver transplantation (LTx).Patients and MethodsMedical records of 343 liver transplantation cases, which were followed between January 2001 and January 2010 at Dokuz Eylul University, were retrospectively analyzed. Patient pre-liver transplantation height, body weight, body mass index (BMI) measurements, as well as changes in body weight at the beginning, 6 months, 12 months, and 5 years post-transplantation were observed. BMI measurements with records of immunosuppressive therapies were obtained.ResultsThe study was carried out with the records of 226 patients. 151 patients (66.8%) were male; 75 (33.2%) were female. The mean age was 46.19 ± 10.2 years. 123 of these liver transplants were performed from living donors, while 103 were from cadaveric donors. The causes of liver transplantation were hepatitis D virus (HDV) infection (28%), hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection (24%), hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection (24%), alcoholic liver disease (9%), cryptogenic liver disease (9%), autoimmune hepatitis (4%), and other (2%). In this study, the prevalence of obesity was 21% at the end of the second year, decreasing to 14% by the end of the fifth year. The mean BMI gradually increased during the follow-ups, reaching 25.1 kg/m² and 26 kg/m² six months after liver transplantation and at the end of the first year, respectively (P < 0.002). Obesity developed in 18.2% of post-transplant patients who were receiving a calcineurin inhibitor (CNI). Regarding the development of obesity after transplantation, no statistically significant difference was found between patients using cyclosporine (CsA) and tacrolimus (TAC) (P = 0.07). Six months after liver transplantation, the mean body weight gain in the groups receiving steroids and not receiving steroids were 4.71 kg and 2.7 kg, respectively (P = 0.03). In the post-transplant period, there was no significant difference in patients who had received TAC and CsA for development of diabetes mellitus (DM), hypertension (HT), or hyperlipidemia (HL) (P = 0.30).ConclusionsObesity prevalence before and after liver transplantation was comparable. Education of obese patients prior to surgery and recommendation of medical nutrition therapy should be appropriate. Similar medical care for the non-obese subjects could prevent increase in obesity prevalence. Non-corticosteroid immunosuppressive agents had no significant effect on the development of weight gain and obesity. Avoiding the use of long-term steroid therapy and obesity education are the key measures for preventing obesity after liver transplantation.

“…Obezlerden oluşan çalışma grubunu kontrol grubu ile kıyasladığımızda, kadın hastalar daha fazla, yaş ortalaması daha yüksek bulunmuştur. Bu sonuç genel populasyonda da obezitenin kadınlarda ve ileri yaşta daha fazla görülmesi verisiyle örtüşmektedir 4 .

ÖzetAmaç: Literatürde obezlerde görülen deri bulgularını inceleyen çalışmalar sınırlı olup ülkemizde bu konuda yapılmış çalışma yoktur. Hastanemiz dermatoloji polikliniğine başvuran obez hastalarda görülen deri bulgularını saptamayı ve obez olmayan hastalar ile karşılaştırmayı amaçladık. Gereç ve Yöntem: Dermatoloji polikliniğine başvuran 300 obez ve 340 obez olmayan toplam 640 hasta çalışmaya alındı. Tüm hastaların; sosyodemografik özellikleri, eşlik eden sistemik hastalık varlığı sorgulandı. Boy ve kiloları ölçülerek beden kitle indeksleri (BKİ) hesaplandı. Dermatolojik muayeneleri yapılarak, klinik bulguları kaydedildi. Veriler istatistiksel olarak değerlendirildi. Bulgular: Çalışmaya alınan hastalar iki gruba ayrıldı. Çalışma grubu 300 obez hastadan oluşuyordu (229 kadın, 71 erkek, yaş ort: 45,89). Kontrol grubunda ise obez olmayan 340 hasta mevcuttu (160 kadın, 180 erkek, yaş ort: 38,99). Çalışma grubundaki hastaların yaş ortalaması ve kadın hastalarınn sayısı, kontrol grubuna göre istatistiksel olarak anlamlı derecede daha fazlaydı (p<0,0001). Çalışma grubundaki saptanan en sık 5 hastalık sırasıyla; akrokordon (%53,3), plantar hiperkeratoz (%29,6), mantar infeksiyonları (%25,3), stria (%20,3) ve akantozis nigrikans (%15,3) idi. Çalışma grubundaki kadın hastalarda görülen mantar hastalıkları, variköz venler ve intertrigo, erkek hastalara göre istatistiksel olarak anlamlı derecede daha fazlaydı. Çalışma grubundaki hastalar içinde, spesifik deri bulgusu olan ve olmayanların BKİ'leri karşılaştırıldığında akrokordon, akantozis nigrikans ve plantar hiperkeratoz olanların BKİ'leri, bu hastalıklara sahip olmayanlara göre istatistiksel olarak anlamlı derecede daha fazlaydı. Sonuç: Çalışmamızda obez hastalarda en fazla görülen ilk beş hastalık akrokordon, plantar hiperkeratoz, mantar infeksiyonları, stria ve akantozis nigrikans olarak saptanmıştır. Obezlerde deride oluşan patofizyolojik özelliklerin aydınlatılmasına yönelik çalışmalar, bu hastalıkların oluşumu ve tedavisi ile ilgili daha çok bilginin edinilmesine neden olacaktır.

In the literature, a few articles have appeared concerning the skin findings related to obesity. Our objective was to evaluate the skin findings in obese patients who applied to dermatology outpatient clinic and to compare obese and non-obese outpatients. Material and Method: A total 640 patients (300-in study group, 340-in control group) were included in the study. All subjects were asked questions about socio-demographic features and presence of coexisting systemic diseases. Body mass index was calculated, dermatologic examination was performed, and diagnosis was recorded. Data were evaluated statistically. Results: Three-hundred obese patients (study group; 229 females, 71 males, mean age: 45.89 years) and 340 non-obese outpatients (control group; 160 females, 18...
