Answer to Question 1

Risks with untreated morbid obesity include:
 Type 2 diabetes: 3 as prevalent among obese persons compared to those with normal weight
 Hypertension (high blood pressure): 3 more common in the obese
 Dyslipidemia (abnormal lipid profile, high cholesterol, low HDL, high LDL, high triglycerides)
 Gallstones: 6 greater risk for gallstones among persons who are obese
 Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease: central adiposity is a risk factor for NAFLD
 Cancer:
 Men are at an increased risk for esophageal, colon, rectum, pancreatic, liver, and prostate cancers
 Women are at an increased risk for gallbladder, bile duct, breast, endometrial, cervix, and ovarian cancers.
 Coronary heart disease
 Myocardial infarctions (heart attacks)
 Angina (chest pain)
 Sudden cardiac death
 Sleep apnea (inability to breathe while sleeping or lying down)
 Asthma
 Reproductive disorders:
 Men: gynecomastia (enlarged mammary glands in males), hypgonadism, reduced testosterone levels, and elevated estrogen levels
 Women: menstrual abnormalities, polycystic ovarian syndrome
 Metabolic syndrome
 Premature death: obese individuals have a 50-100 increased risk of premature death compared to healthy-weight individuals.
 Bone health: obesity can increase chances of osteoporosis or decreased bone mineral density
Health risks Mr. McKinley presents with:
 Osteoarthritis
 Type 2 diabetes
 Hyperlipidemia
 Hypertension
 Metabolic Syndrome (TG  150 mg/dL, HDL < 40 mg/dL, BP  130/85 mmHg; also highly likely that his FPG  100 mg/dL due to DM dx)
 Mr. McKinley has been obese his whole life, which puts him at an increased risk for type 2 diabetes, hyperlipidemia, hypertension, and osteoarthritis.

Answer to Question 2

 BMI = 33.3 using current body weight at admit (170 lbs)
 BMI over 30 is considered obesity, but Mrs. J has gained 20 lbs in the last 2 weeks, which is mostly water
 One may consider calculating her BMI based upon her dry or nonedematous weight:
- BMI = (77.3 kg - 4 kg) / (1.524 m)2 = 31.5 (still obese)

Although the Roman numeral for the number 4 has always been taught to have been "IV," according to historians, the ancient Romans probably used "IIII" most of the time. This is partially backed up by the fact that early grandfather clocks displayed IIII for the number 4 instead of IV. Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
