Case Scenario
Hussein is a 75-year-old man who lives in suburban Adelaide. He is a widower of 10 years and has three sons and one daughter. All live interstate but keep in contact with their father by telephone on a semi-regular basis. Before he retired Hussein worked on the wharves at Port Adelaide driving a forklift. His diet has, in the past, been high in legumes, saturated fats and salt. He used to drink about 750 mL of beer a day..
Hussein considers himself to be reasonably healthy. He has a history of a prostatectomy six years ago for prostatomegaly. He has arthritis in his back, which is controlled by a regular antiinflammatory drug. He was diagnosed with hypertension three years ago and during investigations it was found that his cholesterol was raised. He refused all medications. From this time he has tried to modify his lifestyle and has reduced his weight. He now weighs 80 kg and is 150 cm tall. His waist measurement is 120 cm. This categorises Hussein as severely obese and at high risk of developing adverse health conditions.
