WITH CORRECT/ACCURATE ANSWERS
Hyperplasia
A type of positive energy balance that involves increasing the
number of fat cells occurring during periods of growth (like
pregnancy or growth during adolescence).
Hypertrophy
A type of positive energy balance in which the size of fat cells
increase. This is most often seen in adulthood, during periods of
low growth and maintenance, as a result of overconsumption.
Energy Balance
When energy intake is equal to energy expended. The number of
calories consumed must be equal to the amount of calories
burned through basic body functions and exercise.
Positive Energy Balance
Occurs if more calories are consumed than expended.
Examples: Growth, pregnancy, and over consumption.
Surgery
The last resort when medications and diets have failed.
Bariatrics
The branch of medicine that focuses on the cause, prevention,
and treatment of obesity.
Surgery for Obesity
, 1.) Gastric Banding
2.) Gastric Bypass
3.) Gastric Balloon
Gastric Banding
A surgical procedure that involves implementing an adjustable
band around the opening of the esophagus to the stomach. The
result of this procedure is a small pouch in the stomach. The band
can be adjusted to control the amount of food a person can
consume.
Gastroplasty
Also called stomach stapling or gastric bypass. The process
involves making the stomach smaller so that the person becomes
full very quickly. The stomach is only able to hold 30mL or one
egg at a time. The majority of people lose 50% of their weight.
Gastroplasty Health Risks
1.) Bleeding
2.) Clotting
3.) Hernia
4.) Infection
5.) Nutrition Deficiencies
6.) Increased Risk of Death
Gastric Balloon
A gastric balloon, made of soft silicone, is inflated in the stomach
to the size of a grapefruit. The balloon is not permanent and is
removed after six months. The key to success is lifestyle changes.
Fad Diets
Often emphasizes certain food groups and includes many
gimmicks. These are advertised everywhere.
