My name is Dr. Thom Barber.
I'm an Associate Professor
and Honorary Consultant
Endocrinologist
based at the University
of Warwick in the UK
and UHCW NHS Trust.
I'm going to present Obesity
and Women's Health.
And when thinking about
obesity in women,
there are important implications
of obesity that can affect
both metabolic and
reproductive health
and these factors
will be considered
and explored
in this presentation.

The outline of the talk
is shown here.
The talk will be
divided into two.
In the first part of the talk
I will consider female obesity,
initially considering
the global obesity epidemic
and sequelae of obesity,
and specifically,
urinary incontinence,
sexual dysfunction,
pregnancy
and endometrial carcinoma
and how obesity in women
can impact on each of these.
In the second part of the talk,
I will talk specifically about
Polycystic Ovary Syndrome,
which is a common
condition affecting
reproductive age women,
which is also closely associated
with obesity
and those women who are
genetically predisposed.

Firstly then,
let's consider female obesity.
And the first part
of this section of the talk
will be to look at overview
of global obesity epidemic
and sequelae of obesity.
1:11
This slide shows an illustration
of the obesity epidemic.
Each of these lines represents
a different country.
And as you can see, this figure
shows projected estimates
going up to the year 2020
and, of course,
what you can see
in every country
that's been looked at,
there's an upward trend
in the proportion
of the population
who are overweight.
And this, of course,
is the obesity epidemic
which is projected
to get worse in the future.
In fact, in 2008, it was
estimated that 1.46 billion
adults were overweight
worldwide,
including 500 million
obese individuals.
So, of course,
when we're thinking about
obesity related problems
in women and PCOS,
what we see now it's likely
to get worse in the future
because of the progressing
obesity epidemic.
