Obesity
Medical condition in which excess body fat has
accumulated to the extent that it may have an
adverse effect on health, leading to reduced life
expectancy and/or increased health problems
The American Medical Association has officially recognized obesity as a disease (June18, 2013)
Lancet 366 (9492): 1197–209.
Obesity Prevalence in 2014 = 37.5%
Classification Asian Caucasian
BMI (Kg/m2)
Underweight <18.50
Severe thinness <16.00
Moderate 16.00 - 16.99
Mild thinness 17.00 - 18.49
Normal 18.5-22.9 18.5 – 24.9
Overweight 23-24.9 25-29
Obese I >25 >30
Obese II >30 >35
Morbid obese >40 >40

Adiposity-Based Chronic Disease
A new diagnostic term: the American Association of
Clinical Endocrinologist and American College of
Endocrinology.
Emphasize on pathophysiological effects of excess
adiposity rather than BW or BMI.

ADA 2018: MNT recommendations
Weight management in overweight and obesity + T2DM
Sustained reduction of 5% of initial body weight : improve glycemic
control, reduce the need for glucose lowering medications
sustained weight loss of 7% is optimal.
Carbohydrate intake from whole grains, vegetables, fruits,
legumes, and dairy products, with an emphasis on foods
higher in fiber and lower in glycemic load,(B)
Protein

ADA nutrition recommendation 2018
Added sugar
Avoid sugar-sweetened beverages in order to control weight and
reduce their risk for CVD and fatty liver (B)
Minimize the consumption of foods with added sugar that have the
capacity to displace healthier, more nutrient-dense food choices (A)
Nonnutritive sweeteners
The use of nonnutritive sweeteners has the potential to reduce
overall calorie and carbohydrate intake if substituted for caloric
sweeteners and without compensation by intake of additional
calories from other food sources. Nonnutritive sweeteners
are generally safe to use within the defined acceptable daily intake
levels. (B)

NAFLD is strongly associated with obesity, T2DM, Dyslipidemia and the metabolic syndrome
Visceral Adiposity Insulin resistance
Non-alcoholic Fatty Liver disease
Lifestyle Modifications to Mitigate NASH
Weight loss is the main therapy : IR
Hepatitis A, B vaccine
Avoid alcohol, sugar, fructose consumption
Optimize blood glucose and lipid control
Vitamin E 400-800 IU/day in selected case
α-tocopherol administered at 800 IU/day improves liver histology in
non-diabetic adults with biopsy-proven NASH and therefore may
be considered for this patient population.

Goal of Weight Loss in NAFLD
Weight loss generally reduces hepatic steatosis
Daily reduction of 500-1000 kcal/d (or 30%) +
moderate intensity exercise is likely to provide the
best likelihood of sustained weight loss.
> 3 - 5% weight loss : improve steatosis
> 7- 10% weight loss is needed to improve the
histopathological features of NASH including
fibrosis

24 –hour dietary recall : Protein intake
Urine 24 hr for urea, Cr and volume
UUN : Urinary Urea Nitrogen (g/day)
* 1 g of Nitrogen derived from 6.25 g of Protein
* Unmeasured nitrogen loss in urine (sweat, hair, skin, feces)
= 4 g/day
24-h Urinary Urea Nitrogen
Determine level of catabolism
At least 100 g of carbohydrate is provided
5-10 g/d = mild catabolism or fed state
10-15 g/d = moderate catabolism

Hemodialysis
Calories 30-35 kcal/kg/day
Protein intake 1.2 g/kg/d, high biological value

K, Mg and PO4 are poorly cleared by HD
Nutrient losses
Amino acid losses are about 8-10 g during dialysis,
depending on the type of dialyzer
Glucose losses are removed about 25-30 g,
depending on the type of dialysate
B1, B2, B6, vitamin C and folic acid are lost
B12 is protein bound so B12 lost is negligible
Peritoneal dialysis
Protein intake should be 1.2-1.5 g/kg
with 50-60% of high biological value
Protein losses in peritoneal dialysate vary from
5-15 g/24 h (mainly albumin).
Absorption of glucose from dialysate (glucose,
100-200 g/24 h, 8 kcal/kg/d) + IR
P and K have increased clearance with PD
relative to HD.
Potassium intake can be liberalized to 4 g
