NEW CLINICAL GUIDELINES FOR THE MANAGEMENT OF OBESITY AND METABOLIC SYNDROME Alexander Frame, Richard Mathias School of Population and Public Health
Obesity Pandemic (WHO) Developed Nations Developing Nations Obesity and complications Type 2 Diabetes High cholesterol Hypertension Heart Attack Stroke Impotence Claudication double burden" of disease not uncommon to find under-nutrition and obesity existing side-byside
What is Causing Us to Gain Weight Behavioural Model? Decrease Activity Psychosocial stressors High TV viewing Genetics? Low SES? Calories IN Calories OUT
Epidemiological Study Mozaffarian et al. US Trends 2 Between 1965 and 2002 Positive association of weight gain with Refined sugars and starches Sugar-sweetened beverages Proportion of calories increased from 11.8% to 21.0% of all calories consumed Sleeping < 6 hours or > 8 hours Negative association of weight gain with Dairy products Unprocessed foods nuts, whole grains, fruits and vegetables Physical activity
Fructose Metabolism Fructose ATP & CO 2 Glycogen Triglycerides and Fatty Acids
Glucose Metabolism Glucose ATP & CO 2 Glycogen Triglycerides and Fatty Acids Low-fat eucaloric diet with a high sugar and/or starch content in normal weight individuals Stimulates liver lipogenesis & serum triglycerides
Carbohydrate Consumption If consume physiological doses of sugars Homeostasis is maintained Normal blood sugars Normal blood pressure Normal lipid profiles Advent of processed foods high in starch and beverages high in sugar Pharmacological doses of sugars Obesity pandemic
Connection between Obesity and Chronic diseases? Inflammation of adipose Insulin resistance Hyperinsulinemia Hunger Fatigued Exercise? Lipogenesis small LDLs & oxidized LDLs
Intervention Decrease sugars intake in the general population Dramatically reduce sugars in those with insulin resistance DM Prediabetes Dyslipidemia Metabolic syndrome Initially very low carbohydrate ketogenic diet Reducing sugar sweetened beverages is a great start
What do we replace the sugars with? Satiety Signal to brain (hypothalamus) Full Foods with most satiety Protein (20-30%) Fat Fiber Thick liquids Replacing sugars with fats is a necessary public health message to the public and to food producers.
What About the Message to Reduce Fat? Women s Health Initiative (WHI) Trial Over 8.1 years 19,000+ postmenopausal women (mean BMI = 29.1 kg/m2) Reduced total fat intake Moderately increased carbohydrates Fruits, vegetables and fiber No significant reduced risk for Stroke Cardiovascular Disease (CVD) Coronary Heart Disease (CHD) All cause mortality No decrease incidence of breast or colorectal cancer Conclude: Lower fat is not beneficial in reducing mortality risk
What About Saturated Fat? Siri-Tarino et al (2010) Meta-analysis of prospective cohort studies Intake of saturated fat No association with an increased risk of stroke, CVD and CHD Mente et al (2009) Systematic review Association between dietary factors and CHD No association with the consumption of saturated fat and eggs Strong evidence of an association with the consumption of trans-fatty acids foods with high glycemic index (GI) values western dietary pattern
Etiology of Obesity and Metabolic Syndrome Incomplete understanding of data on fat and sugar Needs to be changed
Public Health Message Reduce sugar consumption to as low as possible Replace those calories needed by the body with Fats Moderate increase in protein High fiber low sugar foods Most vegetables Fruits berries, avocado

Higher Fructose Consumption Associated with Hypertension Visceral adiposity Increased inflammation Decreased insulin sensitivity Increase liver lipogenesis and dyslipidemia Elevations in proatherogenic lipids - small LDLs and oxidized LDLs Consumption of fructose gone from physiologic to pharmacological doses
