    Study Notes

    Effects of Intake Restriction

    • Adaptive thermogenesis occurs, leading to weight loss plateaus when intake is restricted.
    • Increased hunger hormone (ghrelin) stimulates appetite and body weight.
    • Leptin promotes satiety, reducing hunger.

    Body Composition

    • Body composition indicates the proportion of fat to non-fat mass in the body.
    • Hydrodensitometry, also known as underwater weighing, assesses body composition by water displacement.
    • Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis (BIA) measures body composition based on electrical current speed; fat increases resistance, slowing the current.

    Assessment Techniques

    • Air-Displacement Plethysmography (BodPod) evaluates body composition through air volume changes in a closed chamber.
    • Common lifestyle factors contributing to malnutrition in older adults include isolation and financial issues.

    Nutritional Deficiencies

    • Muscle wasting in older adults suggests deficiencies in energy and protein.
    • Skin issues like xerosis and bruising may indicate deficiencies in vitamins A, C, and K.
    • Hair thinning can signal deficiencies in energy, protein, and specific vitamins (A, B, E).
    • A high-energy diet should consist of 30% from fat and at least 12-15% from protein.
    • Individuals likely to develop eating disorders frequently engage in strict dieting, leading to psychological issues and health problems.

    Eating Disorders

    • Childhood obesity or large body size and early puberty are risk factors for eating disorders.
    • Anorexia nervosa is characterized by excessive dieting, severe weight loss, and fear of weight gain.
    • Subtypes of anorexia include restricting and binge eating/purging types, with individuals potentially switching between them.

    Bulimia Nervosa and Binge Eating Disorder

    • Bulimia nervosa involves binge eating followed by compensatory behaviors like vomiting, with methods including laxative misuse and excessive exercise.
    • Binge eating disorder features recurring episodes of eating large quantities with a sense of loss of control.

    Cardiovascular Knowledge

    • The cardiac cycle encompasses the heart's contraction (systole) and relaxation (diastole).
    • Blood pressure consists of systolic pressure (pressure during contraction) and diastolic pressure (pressure during relaxation).
    • Normal blood pressure is defined as 120/80 mm Hg, with hypertension classified as high blood pressure.

    Hypertension Types and Effects

    • Hypertension can be primary (essential) or secondary, with primary linked to lifestyle and secondary resulting from chronic conditions.
    • Hypertension narrows blood vessels, impairing blood flow and potentially damaging kidney function, leading to waste retention.

    Comprehensive Treatment Plans

    • A hypertenative treatment plan should include weight reduction and lifestyle modifications, not solely medication.
    • Being overweight puts extra strain on the heart, increasing the risk of cardiac issues.
