Unconjugated dehydroepiandrosterone has been isolated from human abdominal adipose tissue and identified by double isotope derivatization and recrystallization to constant isotope ratio. Gas chromatography with electron capture detection revealed an actual dehydroepiandrosterone concentration between 0.32 to 2.82 mug/g in adipose tissue of normal and overweight subjects. The approximate dehydroepiandrosterone content of the total adipose tissue mass varied between 30 and 173 mg in subjects with severe obesity.

1. During the first months of life adapted or partially adapted formula may very well be used to feed the newborn and the young infant if breastmilk is not available. By feeding adapted milk ad libitum, overweight is avoided. This is partially due to the carbohydrate, which exclusively consists of lactose. 2. Many infants are fed "Beikost", or solid food, much too early. The best possible age is during the fourth month of life. The first solid food to be introduced into the diet of an infant should consist of meat and added vegetable. 3. Too much intake of salt and or sucrose should be avoided. 4. Between the fourth to sixth month of life one bottle per day of adapted formula should be exchanged for a "follow-up" formula instead. As follow-up formulas we prefer those without or only with a small content of sucrose.

This study determined the relationship of maternal weight gain in pregnancy to its outcome. Mothers who were overweight at the start of pregnancy had the fewest fetal and neonatal deaths with a 16 pound weight gain at term. The optimal weight gain for normally proportioned mothers was 20 pounds and for underweight mothers 30 pounds. For all three groups perinatal mortality rates increased with weight gains less or more than these optimal values. Very low or very high pregnancy weight gains had only a modest influence on the frequency of common placental and fetal disorders. However, once one of these disorders was established, mortality rates from it usually increased severalfold when mothers had very low or very high weight gains.

One to two years after an initial study establishing normal values for blood pressure in a population of 819 children and adolescents, the outcome in 74 individuals, 39 of whom were considered to be hypertensive and the influence of the observer and methods on the collection of cases of hypertension are evaluated. 58% of the hypertensive individuals remained hypertensive. Overweight appeared to be the essential factor in determining the persistence of hypertension. 74 % of the overweight hypertensive subjects remained hypertensive as against a figure of 42 % of subjects with a normal weight prevent arterial hypertension could be considered by preventing excess weight. The influence of the observer is slight if methods and equipment are identical. Failure to follow the reference methodology increases the number of cases of hypertension artificially. In order to avoid this risk, the practitioner should refer to normographic scales, use the same method and apparatus and repeat measurements yearly or twice a year in order to eliminate observer error.

The health status of males aged 15 or more years was studied as part of a community health survey in a neighborhood of western Jerusalem. Most subjects (75%) reported that they felt well; clinical appraisals revealed a need for treatment in 33%. Hypertension was found in 14% and coronary heart disease in 6%. Other common disorders included hemorrhoids (16%), varicose veins (11%), overweight (18%), hypercholesterolemia (13%), inguinal hernia (13%), symptoms of prostatic hypertrophy (10%) and diabetes (5%). The prevalence of specific symptoms of emotional ill health ranged from 6 to 23%. A quarter reported serious current problems; 10% were dissatisfied with their present life situation; and 10% had concentration camp experience. Half were current cigarette smokers. The prevalence of most disorders rose in successive age groups. Mean diastolic blood pressure, serum cholesterol, relative weight and the prevalence of cigarette smoking were lower in the oldest age groups. With some exceptions, the age trends were similar to those found in other populations.

A health survey of 551 high school students in the coastal town of Busselton, Western Australia, was undertaken in November, 1977. Physical measurements showed that approximately 17% of the boys and 24% of the girls were overweight (115% or more of their standard weight for height and age). Blood pressures ranged from 108/64 mmHg at 13 years to 129/70 mmHg at 17 years for boys, and 109/63 mmHg to 116/66 mmHg for girls of the same age group. Fasting plasma glucose, cholesterol and triglyceride values were also obtained. Twenty-seven per cent of the girls and 17% of the boys were regular smokers, a habit often acquired by the age of 12 years. Most of the children watched television from two to four hours daily during the week, and for longer periods at weekends. Although most had satisfactory levels of physical fitness, there was a trend towards poor performance in overweight children, and there was a significant decrease in participation in regular sports by the older teenagers.

Issuing from the present state of the influence of the basic nutritive substances (protein, fat, carbohydrates) and various nutritive factors discussed again and again (cholesterol, erucaic acid, sodium, calcium/magnesium quotient, pressor amines) on the development of the arteriosclerosis, the indididual factors of influence are critically evaluated. The investigations are getting under way, so that ascertained results are standing beside insufficiently claified or open problems, From the abundance of the observations conclusions are drawn which are of significance for practice. Unfavourable influences of nutrition on the factors of risk (hyperlipoproteinaemia, disturbance of the carbohydrate tolerance, hyperuricaemia, hyperalimentation) and on the manifest diseases (hypertension, diabetes mellitus, uric arthritis, obesity) of the metabolic syndrome which finally contribute to the development of arteriosclerosis are emphasized. In front of this background a clinically and ambulatorily tested basic metabolic diet is described. About 20% of the energy content (kcal or kJ) of this diet are protein, 35% fat and 45% are carbohydrates. The saturated fatty acids lie below 30%, the manifold saturated fatty acids, however, above 20% of the total fat proportion. The cholesterol content is below 400 mg, the purin-nitrogen below 200 mg, and the sodium content is about 2g per day. This diet can be produced for the treatment of persons with normal weight and overweight in different energetic degradations.

Lipomatosis, regarded as deposition of fat cells in the pancreas, was investigated and graded into four groups in 394 consecutive autopsies. In all necropsies except one fat cells were present; gr. 1:51%, gr. 2:26%, gr. 3:15% and gr. 4:8%. Age as well as overweight was significantly correlated to the grade of lipomatosis. The number of necropsies with gr. 3--4 lipomatosis was significantly less in the group with long terminal illnes, indicating that the presence of fat cells in the pancreas is to some extent reversible. No evidence of pancreatic disease was mentioned in the clinical records of the patients with gr. 3--4 lipomatosis.

200 cases of interval sterilization, using suprapubic minilaparotomy and the Osathanondh uterine elevation technique, were performed. A large number of patients was overweight (58.5%), and some had major medical problems (20%) or had prveious pelvic surgery (4%). All procedures were done under intravenous sedation and local anesthesia on an out-patient basis. The follow-up rate was 97%. Total complication rate was 6%. Neither serious complications nor readmissions to the hospital were found. The overall results were interpreted as demonstrating that the original Osathanondh minilaparotomy technique, with minor modifications, is suitable for use in high risk patients requiring permanent sterilization.

Serum lipids in 58 renal transplant recipients were related to duration of follow-up, relative body weight, steroid medication, proteinuria and graft performance. Hyperlipidemia was observed between the 4th month and the end of the first year after transplantation in 83% of the patients. Thereafter, the frequency of hyperlipidaemia appeared to decrease: at 4 to 7 years only 61% of the subjects continued to exhibit abnormal high serum lipids. Three mechanisms leading to hyperlipidaemia were identified: 1) overweight, 2) steroid mediation, 3) proteinuria. A forth apparent mechanism was impaired transplant function.
