“…Seventeen percent of participants presented overweight and 68% obesity. Moreover, it was identified that a considerable percentage of participants was not trying to decrease fat consumption in their diet, and that a considerable part made no intent on or would not try to practice some kind of exercise in the next six months (14) , which can be associated with the fact that children of parents with type 2 diabetes do not perceive their risk of developing this disease or do not perceive that they are obese.…”

The objective was to explore obese adolescents' perceptions about obesity among students in the seventh to ninth grade of a public school in Tamaulipas, Mexico. This is a qualitative study. Participants were 24 adolescents with a body mass index equal to or greater than the 95th percentile. Semistructured interviews were conducted until data saturation was reached and the meaning was understood. The adolescents defined obesity according to standards of measurement. They identified the hereditary factor as the main obesity cause, tended to underestimate obesity and had low self-esteem. They reported problems to do physical exercise and get clothes in order to improve their image, and feel rejected by their peers in school. It was identified that these adolescents have psychological defense mechanisms against obesity and that some of them are making efforts to lose weight.Obesity entails social and psychological health implications for persons suffering from this problem. Interventions should be put in practice.Descriptors: Adolescent; Obesity; Body Weight; Self Concept. para subestimar a obesidade e a ter baixa autoestima, apresentan problemas quando realizam atividade física e para conseguirem roupas para melhorar a própria imagen, são rejeitados pelos seus pares ou iguais, na escola.

“…(5) Diet and lack of exercise are strongly related to the development of insulin resistance. (6,7) It has been reported that high-fat Western food and glycemic load are positively associated with fat deposits and insulin resistance. (8) On the other hand, even moderate exercise is effective for the improvement of insulin resistance.…”

Lack of exercise and excessive food intake are known to be the important causes of nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH). To elucidate the relationship between lifestyle and NASH, we surveyed exercise and dietary habits, comparing them among 171 biopsy-proven NASH patients, 29 nonalcoholic fatty liver (NAFL) patients and 49 normal subjects. Dietary habits including the duration of dinner time, amount of rice at dinner, and weekly frequencies of meat, fries, Chinese noodles, sweets, and instant food consumption were significantly different in male NASH patients compared to normal male subjects. In women, differences were seen in the amount of rice at dinner, frequency of eating out, and proclivity for sweets. In male NASH patients, the frequency of physical exercise was significantly lower. The lifestyle tendencies of NASH were almost similar to those of NAFL. In the comparison between obese NASH and non-obese NASH, no clear lifestyle differences were found. In conclusion, the most striking result of this survey was that the lifestyle of males contributed significantly to the development of NASH. These results point to treatment of NASH in males. In female NASH patients, lifestyle differences were minimal, and the effects of other factors such as genetic background will need to be investigated.
