▼ Obesity has been linked to a wide range of health problems. Evidence suggests that overweight and obese (OW/O) women avoid or delay seeking medical care and routine health screenings, a choice that may result in poorer overall health. The objective of this study is to explore how an OW/O woman’s self-identity and her experiences in past medical encounters may affect her health-seeking behaviors. Twenty-three women who self-identified as being overweight (currently or in the past) were recruited using a flyer placed in a women’s exercise facility and through the snowball method. Each agreed to an audio-taped, in-depth, semi-structured interview. Interviews were transcribed and analyzed. This study employs multiple methods of analysis and multiple genres of representation of the data, an approach recently termed “crystallization.” Analysis of an autoethnographic narrative served as a guide for the generation of the research questions, which focused on how OW/O women conceptualize their identities in relation to their bodies, how their attitudes about their bodies may have impacted choices about seeking healthcare and their perception of their experiences within medical encounters, and what OW/O women believe to be potentially effective strategies for clinicians to adopt in caring for overweight patients. Interviews were scrutinized to identify story types using Arthur Frank’s well-established framework for the analysis of narratives of sudden life-threatening illness. Two additional story types, Reorientation and Acceptance, are proposed as potentially useful in analyzing stories of chronic health conditions. Grounded theory analysis was used to identify the factors that OW/O women perceive to contribute to their weight struggles, as well as to determine clinician attitudes and practices that OW/O women regard as effective and ineffective. Two emergent themes—othering and control—were discerned in the data and are discussed in terms of both how OW/O women are impacted by their weight and how practitioners can work to provide more effective care. An explanatory model linking social bias, personal identity, and medical interactions is proposed. Finally, a performance script is presented as a means of synthesizing and disseminating research findings. Advisors/Committee Members: Sharf, Barbara F. (advisor), Street, Richard L.

▼ Purpose: To compare the effects of aquatic-based and land-based exercise training on fat oxidation in overweight and obese women. Methods: Twenty healthy, overweight and obese women were randomly assigned to, and completed endurance training; deep water running (DWR) (n = 11, age 48 +/- 7 years, BMI 30.0 +/- 4.0 kg/m2), or endurance training combined with resistance training (DWR+RT) (n = 9, age 48 +/- 8 years, BMI 29.7 +/- 4.1 kg/m2) three times per week (70% mode specific HRpeak) for 12 weeks. Following the 12 week intervention there was an eight month washout period. At the end of the washout period, 17 of the 20 women originally enrolled in the first intervention participated in, and completed a second intervention, undertaking the same protocol as in the first study, in a land-based environment. Two additional participants recruited, were randomly assigned to, and completed respective land-based training. Nineteen participants in total completed endurance training; land based endurance (LBE) (n = 9, age 49 +/- 7 years, BMI 30.0 +/- 3.8 kg/m2), or endurance training combined with resistance training (LBE+RT) (n = 10, age 49 +/- 7 years, BMI 29.4 +/- 4.0 kg/m2) three times a week (70% mode specific HRpeak) for 12 weeks. Results from seventeen participants who completed both the aquatic and land-based interventions were pooled for analysis to compare aquatic-based and land-based exercise training modalities. For the aquatic and land-based interventions, pre and post intervention outcome measures included; resting and exercise fat oxidation and resting metabolic rate (RMR) measured by indirect calorimetry, resting and exercise plasma free fatty acid (FFA) and glycerol concentrations, cardiovascular (CV) fitness assessed during mode specific maximal oxygen consumption (VO2peak) tests, upper and lower body strength using a Biodex Isokinetic Dynamometer, body composition using dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) and anthropometry, and plasma lipid profiles. Statistical analysis included between-group comparisons of outcome measures using analysis of covariance (ANCOVA). When there was no difference between groups, data was pooled and within modality comparisons were assessed by Student’s paired t-test. Pearson correlation coefficients were used to investigate relationships between outcome measures. Results: Exercise fat oxidation rate did not change following DWR or DWR+RT, or aquatic exercise training overall (p > 0.05). Following land-based exercise training, when training groups were combined, participants demonstrated significant increases in exercise fat oxidation rate (300 +/- 92 to 359 +/- 119 mg/min; p < 0.01), with no difference between LBE and LBE+RT (p < 0.05). When aquatic exercise training was compared directly with land-based exercise training using pooled analysis, there were significantly different responses pertaining to changes in exercise fat oxidation rate (p = 0.03). There was a significant increase in exercise fat oxidation rate following land-based exercise training (310 +/- 91… Advisors/Committee Members: Jones, Lynnette (advisor).

▼ The ‘obesity epidemic’ of the past two decades has resulted in numerous studies reporting higher levels of stigma and discrimination experienced by obese/overweight women, both within the health care system and society in the main. Despite general practice being the most utilised point of access for health care services, there has been very little international or national exploration of the experiences of large-bodied women accessing these services. Utilising a qualitative, descriptive research design, this post-structuralist feminist study has enabled a group of large-bodied women to express their stories of accessing general practice services. Eight self identified large-bodied women volunteered to participate in semi-structured face-to-face interviews. Thematic analysis identified seven themes: Early experiences of body perception, Confronting social stereotypes, Contending with feminine beauty ideals, Perceptions of health, Pursuing health, Respecting the whole person and Feeling safe to access care. The women in this study articulated broader interpretations of health and well-being than those teachings reproduced within dominant bio-medical and social discourses of obesity. When these women’s personal context, beliefs and values are silenced by the health care provider, the rhetoric of health care professional claims of patient-centred care has given way to these women experiencing stigmatisation and a sense of ambiguity about general practice services. However, when space is given for multiple interpretations of obesity to exist within the patient-health care provider relationship, these women feel respected, their health needs are satisfied and they are more comfortable to engage in health screening services. Resisting the powerful socio-cultural milieu which supports the superiority of a slim female body as a signifier of both health and beauty presents a challenge for health care professionals to negotiate. I contend however, that giving consideration to the perspectives of large-bodied women and critically reflecting upon one’s own personal beliefs and attitudes about the overweight/obese, presents an opportunity to ensure clinical practice for this population is truly patient-centred.

▼ In the general population, one in five couples experiences difficulty in conceiving a child. The role of obesity on women’s fecundity has become a focus of attention in recent years. Successful treatment of infertility through Assisted Reproductive Technology (ART) is also compromised by the presence of obesity, which occurs in 30 % of women seeking treatment. A negative correlation exists between increased body mass index (BMI) and the number of collected oocytes and a lower birth rate after ART. Furthermore, a number of studies have established that weight loss improves natural conception rates in overweight women. Whether weight management can improve success rates in overweight / obese women undergoing in vitro fertilisation (IVF) has not been studied. The purpose of this project was to explore the role of short–term weight loss on potential pregnancy outcomes in overweight / obese women undergoing IVF programme. However, to establish this relationship, we proposed to carry out two studies to assess the following: (I) The feasibility of very low calorie diet (VLCD) during IVF treatment with respect to duration, level of restriction and tolerability of the diet during hormonal down regulation in women (Chapter 2). (II) How energy restriction may affect the quality of an early embryo in diet - induced obese mice with respect to various body weight and caloric intake (Chapter 3). In study (I), women preferred a shorter dietary intervention with greater energy restriction (456 kcal per day) to gradual energy restriction (1200 kcal / day for the first week, and afterward, 456 kcal / day) prior to oocyte transfer. Women were able to comply with the VLCD during IVF treatment and both dietary groups achieved a significant weight loss (mean 6.3 %). In study (II), by using obese mice, the effect of rapid weight loss (mean 12 %) was observed after 5 days of energy restriction. Ovulation rate was greater in the Obese group (HFD) (55.6%) and equal in both Control (CD) and Energy Restricted (HF / ER) (44.4 %) groups. The HF / ER group showed higher fertilisation rate (80 %) than HFD and CD (55% and 45.5%, correspondingly). The blastocyst stage was reached by half of the cultured embryos in both HF / ER and HFD groups and 33 % in the CD group. The quality of embryos that completed blastocyst formation did not differ between groups. However, postfertilisation development in females fed a high fat diet was slower compared to CD and HF / ER groups. In conclusion, this work illustrated a weight management prior conception and use of VLCD during IVF treatment in clinical study needs further investigation with regard to the dietary duration, level of energy restriction and how this combination will influence IVF treatment outcomes. Furthermore, as we were unable to determine the question of how the dietary intervention affects the quality of oocytes and the animal study illustrated a promising result, thus further studies are required.

Doutoramento em Motricidade Humana, na especialidade de Saúde e Condição Física

This thesis derives from three scientific problems which resulted in the same number of scientific articles. The background and questions of this investigation are centre in the methodological area and body composition rules. The first problem analysed the accuracy of some laboratory and field methods available (DXA, BIA and Anthropometry) in assessing body composition changes in overweight and obese women after a 16 months weight loss program management using a four-component molecular model as reference. The second studied the reasons why the changes in weight and body composition may result in functional changes in the thoracic gas volume (VTG) and, consequently, in the inadequate assessment of fat mass through a two-compartment model as Bod Pod. The last problem tested the accuracy of Bod Pod in tracking body composition changes using DXA as reference. It was verified that the single frequency BIA-Tanita device, a field method, showed a good level of performance in tracking body composition changes, similarly to the laboratory methods used, DXA and Bod Pot, despite being a two-compartment model. Draw attention to those different methods should not be applied in different moments interchangeably to detect body composition changes after a weight loss program.

Esta tese é constituída por 3 problemas científicos que deram origem ao mesmo número de artigos científicos. As questões e fundamentos desta tese centraram-se na área metodológica e nas regras da composição corporal. O primeiro problema analisou a validade de alguns dos métodos laboratoriais e de terreno disponíveis (DXA, BIA e Antropometria) na medição das alterações da composição corporal durante um programa de 16 meses de perda de peso apenas em mulheres usando, como referência, um modelo 4-C. O segundo problema estudou as razões pelas quais as alterações no peso e na composição corporal podem resultar em alterações funcionais no volume do gás toráxico (VGT) e, consequentemente, na inadequada avaliação da massa gorda através do método de 2-C com Bod Pod. O último problema testou a validade do Bod Pod para detectar alterações da composição corporal usando como referência o DXA. Verificou-se que o método de terreno de bio-impedância de frequência única, BIA-Tanita, teve um elevado desempenho na detecção das alterações da composição corporal, similar às técnicas laboratoriais utilizadas, DXA e Bod Pod, apesar de ser um modelo de dois compartimentos. De salientar que as técnicas utilizadas nos diferentes momentos devem ser sempre as mesmas.

Ph.D. University of Hawaii at Manoa 2011.

Objective: The present study was designed to explore whether behavioral weight loss treatment is associated with changes in internalized weight bias among overweight and obese men and women. The relationship of internalized weight bias to treatment outcome was assessed, as well as its relationship to other psychological variables associated with weight change, including body image concern, self-esteem, anti-fat attitudes, depressive symptoms, anxiety and stress. Method: Participants were 106 overweight and obese men and women enrolled in a treatment outcome study using the Lifestyle Balance Program, a behavioral weight loss program emphasizing dietary change and increasing physical activity. Eligible participants were randomly assigned by treatment site to either a standard care condition following the Lifestyle Balance Program, or to a continuing care condition which included all elements of the Lifestyle Balance Program, plus 18 additional months of participant-led self-help. Participants completed measures of internalized weight bias, anti-fat attitudes, self-esteem, body image concern, depressive symptoms, anxiety and stress at the start of treatment, following completion of active treatment, and again at six-months post-treatment (i.e. follow-up). Results: Participants who completed treatment lost, on average, 5.22% of initial body weight at post-treatment with an additional loss of 0.50% of initial body weight from post-treatment to follow-up, with no significant differences between treatment conditions on measures of weight change and psychological functioning. Weight bias internalization was shown to significantly decrease over the course of treatment and again at follow-up and was associated with percent change in initial body weight from baseline to six-month follow-up. Participants reporting low levels of internalized weight bias at baseline lost twice as much weight when compared to participants reporting high levels of internalized weight bias at baseline. Though significant correlations were found between percent change in initial body weight and measures of internalized weight bias, body image concern and self-esteem, regression models failed to identify significant predictors of weight change among the study variables. Internalized weight bias was additionally shown to be related to body image concern, anti-fat attitudes, depression and self-esteem. Baseline scores of internalized weight bias contributed to the prediction of change in body image scores from baseline to follow-up and from post-treatment to follow-up. Discussion: Findings from the present study indicate a relationship between internalized weight bias and weight change in the context of behavioral weight loss treatment. Elements of behavioral weight loss treatment, such as cognitive restructuring, may contribute to the reduction of bias demonstrated in the present study. Study results also indicate the importance of assessing baseline levels of internalized weight bias, as having higher…
