Nonobese

Liposuction and fat redistribution: Fat removed from the abdomen, hips and thighs by liposuction, a popular cosmetic surgery, accumulates again within a year to the upper abdomen, shoulders and arms of healthy, nonobese women, according to a study in Obesity. ❋ Ann Lukits (2011)

Not being an laryngologist, I can only guess what some of these terms mean (or sound like), but I do find it interesting (and perhaps not totally unexpected) that the vocal characteristics of individuals with obesity are objectively different than the voices of nonobese people. ❋ Unknown (2009)

Although there was no difference in the mean obstructive apnea/hypopnea index values between the two groups, obese children had significantly shorter sleep latency times (time taken to fall asleep) than the nonobese kids (12 vs. 18 mins). ❋ Unknown (2009)

Diabetes risk was four times higher in obese adults, regardless of childhood weight, than nonobese adults who were obese or overweight children. ❋ Ann Lukits (2011)

Similarly, obese women craved high fats more frequently than nonobese women and depression symptoms were intensified with increasing body weights. ❋ Unknown (2009)

Fifty consecutive, nonobese, habitually snoring, otherwise-healthy children (age range: 6-9 years) and 50 age -, gender -, and ethnicity-matched obese children (BMI z score: 1.67) underwent an overnight polysomnographic evaluation, followed by a multiple sleep latency test the following day. ❋ Unknown (2009)

Researchers from the Group Health Cooperative in Seattle found that mood and anxiety disorders, including depression, were about 25 percent more common in obese participants than in their nonobese counterparts. ❋ Bob Greene (2010)

Matched cohort studies showed lower maternal complication rates after bariatric surgery than in obese women without bariatric surgery, or rates approaching those of nonobese controls. ❋ Unknown (2008)

The study found that although annual health-care costs are highest for obese people earlier in life (until age 56 years), and are highest for smokers at older ages, the ultimate lifetime costs are highest for the healthy (nonsmoking, nonobese) people. ❋ Unknown (2008)

If all of the obese people were children, and all of the not-obese people were adults, the nonobese could outweigh the obese in a country in which half of people are children. ❋ Unknown (2009)

…A tremendous body of research employing a great variety of methodologies… has failed to yield any meaningful or replicable differences in the caloric intake or eating patterns of the obese compared to the nonobese… ❋ Unknown (2006)

For nonobese subjects, a state of low blood sugar, called hypoglycemia, triggered a craving for high-calorie foods such as ice cream. ❋ Unknown (2011)

The researchers showed five obese and nine nonobese study participants pictures of high-calorie foods (including French fries and doughnuts) low-calorie foods (including tofu and salads) and nonfoods. ❋ Unknown (2011)

The nonobese people were then less interested in the high-calorie foods. ❋ Unknown (2011)

When blood sugar levels were low in both obese and nonobese participants, the region of the brain associated with reward was activated, triggering a desire to eat high-calorie foods. ❋ Unknown (2011)

Once the levels were brought back up to normal in the nonobese group, there was increased activity in the prefrontal cortex, the region of the brain involved in impulse control. ❋ Unknown (2011)

The obese subjects, however, experienced far greater cravings than the nonobese did while hypoglycemic. ❋ Unknown (2011)
