Obesity

671
The Body Mass Index (BMI) is a numerical value derived from a person's weight and height, used to categorize individuals into weight ranges. It is calculated using the formula: weight in kilograms divided by height in meters squared. Obesity is a health condition characterized by excessive accumulation of adipose tissue that poses health risks, often diagnosed with a BMI ≥ 30. This excess fat storage occurs when surplus dietary calories are converted into triglycerides and stored in...

The person's health status fluctuates continually, varying from being in good health to becoming ill and returning to being healthy. To understand the concept of illness prevention, there are two models. First, the health-illness continuum model is a graphic representation of an individual's wellness. It states that a person is considered healthy in the absence of physical disease and the presence of good emotional health.
The agent-host-environment model states that disease results...

A model is a theoretical way to understand a concept or an idea. Models can overcome barriers to health regardless of diverse economic and cultural backgrounds. In addition, models make the task easier by providing different ways to approach complex issues. There are two major health promotion models: the health belief model and the health promotion model.
The health belief model (HBM) attempts to predict health-related behavior in specific belief patterns. According to the HBM, a person's...

Health promotion allows a person to control the determinants of health, resulting in an improved health status. It enhances the quality of life and reduces premature deaths. Health promotion and illness prevention programs help people make beneficial choices to reduce the risk of disease and disabilities. There are three health promotion and illness prevention levels: primary, secondary, and tertiary prevention.
In primary prevention, actions taken before disease onset prevent the disease from...

Role of Communication in the Nursing Process II: Planning and Implementation

2.0K
Several factors are considered while creating a patient's care plan. Motivation is a factor in improving communication, and patients often require encouragement to try different approaches involving significant change. It is essential to involve the patient and family in decisions about the plan of care to determine whether the suggested methods are acceptable. Consider meeting critical comfort and safety needs before introducing new communication methods and techniques. Allow adequate time...

Area of Science:

  • Integrative health
  • Systems biology
  • Complexity science

Background:

  • Conventional obesity management strategies yield suboptimal long-term outcomes.
  • A personalized, dynamic, and systemic perspective is needed to address obesity's multifaceted determinants.
  • Existing approaches lack integration of diverse expertise and personalized adaptation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a five-year personalized integrative obesity-coaching and research program.
  • To apply a systems view, complexity science, and transdisciplinary collaboration.
  • To create an adaptive program tailored to individual participant needs and goals.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized a systems health model of obesity to identify influential causal variables.
  • Integrated perspectives from managers, medical specialists, psychologists, therapists, and lifestyle coaches with systems experts.
  • Employed participant subtyping based on Traditional Chinese Medicine symptoms for personalized interventions.

Main Results:

  • Successfully developed a personalized and adaptive five-year obesity-coaching and research program.
  • The systems health model facilitated program design and identification of key monitoring variables.
  • A collaborative, transdisciplinary approach enhanced the program's personalization and adaptability.

Conclusions:

  • A systems-based, transdisciplinary approach is effective for creating personalized, adaptive obesity management programs.
  • Personalization through novel methods like symptom-based subtyping can improve intervention efficacy.
  • This integrative model offers a promising direction for sustainable, long-term obesity management.
