Prevalence of obese children and adolescents

Slide 6 -

RISK OF OBESE CHILDREN BECOMING OBESE ADULTS

Slide 7 -

IMPACT OF CHILDHOOD OBESITY ON ADULT HEALTH Adverse effects of childhood obesity on adult health Increased rates of all cause mortality in adulthood Increased rates of mortality from CAD in adult males Increased morbidity from CAD in adult males and females

Slide 8 -

IMPACT OF CHILDHOOD OBESITY ON ADULT HEALTH Adverse effects of childhood obesity on adult health Increased rates of colon cancer in males Increased rates of arthritis in females Childhood obesity may be a greater predictor of complications in adulthood than obesity in adulthood

Slide 9 -

CHILDHOOD OBESITY IS ALSO ASSOCIATED WITH PROBLEMS IN CHILDHOOD

Slide 10 -

PEDIATRIC OBESITY IS NOT JUST A COSMETIC PROBLEM!

Slide 11 -

TREATMENT OF PEDIATRIC OBESITY IS AVAILABLE AND CAN BE EFFECTIVE PREVENTION IS PREFERABLE

Slide 12 -

What is the etiology of pediatric obesity?

Slide 13 -

PREVENTION: PRECONCEPTION Prevention starts prior to conception Obese adolescents have an 80% probability of being obese as an adult Today's adolescents are tomorrows parents The risk of obesity in a child born to obese parents is significantly increased Parents act as role models for their children Need to educate and intervene in childhood to help prevent obesity in subsequent generations

Slide 14 -

PREVENTION: POST CONCEPTION Routine prenatal care Advocate appropriate weight gain during the pregnancy LGA infants and infants of diabetic mothers have higher rates of subsequent obesity SGA infants also at higher risk Hediger ML et: Pediatrics104:e33, 1999

Slide 15 -

PREVENTION: POST CONCEPTION Promote breastfeeding prior to delivery Dewey 2003: 8 out of 11 studies noted a lower rate of obesity in children if breastfed vs. formula fed Bergmann 2003: Longitudinal study of breastfed vs. formula fed infants BMI the same at birth BMI at 3 & 6 months > in formula fed vs. breastfed infants Rate of obesity at 6 years was 3 fold greater in formula fed vs. breastfed

Slide 16 -

PREVENTION: INFANCY Advocate for continued breast feeding The duration of breastfeeding is inversely associated with the risk of overweight Harder T. Am J Epidemiol. 2005;162(5):397-403 Avoid over feeding formula feed infants Monitor growth curve including weight for length curve Excessive weight gain associated obesity Taveras EM et al. Weight status in the first 6 months of life and obesity at 3 years of age. Pediatrics 2009;123:1177-1183

Slide 17 -

PREVENTION: INFANCY Educate parents about beverages No nutritional need for juice for at least the first 6 months of age 1-6 year olds limit juice to 4-6 oz per day Provision of sweet beverages promotes desire to consume sweet beverages The use and misuse of fruit juice in pediatrics. Pediatrics 107:1210-1213, 2001.

Slide 18 -

PREVENTION: INFANCY Introduction of solids Do not introduce solids until 4-6 months of age Introduce vegetables first Infants born with preference for sweet Continue to provided the food even if initially rejected Breast fed babies are more willing to accept other new foods compared to formula fed infants

Slide 19 -

PREVENTION: INFANCY Promote parental interaction with infant Discuss TV Do not use TV as a “Baby sitter” AAP recommends no TV for the first 2 years of life AAP recommends no TV in bedroom Children, adolescents and television. Pediatrics 107:423-426, 2001

Slide 20 -

PREVENTION: INFANCY TV in bedroom 40% of 1-5 year olds have TV in bedroom Children with TV in bedroom Watch more TV Have higher rates of obesity Associated with increased sedentary time Promotes more social isolation Dennison, BA et al. Pediatrics 109:1028-1035, 2002.

Slide 21 -

PREVENTION: INFANCY Identify those at risk Family history Risk of obesity 9% if both parents are lean Risk of obesity 60-80% if both parents are obese Sibling over weight (genetics vs. obesigenic environment) Ethnicity: African-American, Hispanic Large for gestational age Small for gestational age

Slide 22 -

PREVENTION: INFANCY Identify those at risk Lower socioeconomic status Rural setting Both parents work Single parent family Little cognitive stimulation Lack of safe play areas Family stress Strauss, RS et al. Pediatrics 1999;103 (6) e-pages

Slide 23 -

PREVENTION: TODDLER Discuss beverages 20% of obese children are obese due to excessive caloric consumption from beverages Soda has 150 calories per 12 oz Juice on average has 120 calories per 8 oz For every 100 calories consumed per day in excess will result in 10 pound weight gain per year Promote consumption of water when thirsty

Slide 24 -

PREVENTION: TODDLER Do not use the “clean the plate rule” “Parents provide, children decide what to eat” Parents should provide a healthy array of food and appropriate portions Child’s intake varies from day to day Do not use food as a reward

Slide 25 -

PREVENTION: TODDLER No TV for children less than 2 Promote physical activity Free play Play with parents as well as friends

Slide 26 -

PREVENTION: PRESCHOOLER Measure and plot BMI Monitor BMI If increasing BMI % even if “normal” this is a red flag Review BMI curve with parent and child Provide positive reinforcement for being normal Being over weight at one time between ages of 24 and 54 months was associated with a 5 fold increased risk of obesity at 12 years Nader, PR et al. Pediatrics 118: e594-601, 2006

Slide 27 -

PREVENTION: PRESCHOOLER Anticipatory guidance Nutrition Discuss beverages Do not use “clean the plate rule” Do not use food as reward Offer balanced diet: fruits, vegetables, high fiber

Slide 28 -

Slide 29 -

PREVENTION: PRESCHOOLER Anticipatory guidance Physical activity Limit sedentary time Discuss screen time: <1-2 hours per day Higher rates of obesity, hypertension and hypercholesterolemia in those who watch >2 hours per day Prevention of pediatric overweight and obesity. Pediatrics 112; 424-430, 2003 Pardee et al., American J of Preventive Medicine, December 2007 Martinez-Gomez D et al. Arch Pediatr Adolesc Med 2009;163:724-730

Slide 30 -

PREVENTION: PRESCHOOLER Anticipatory guidance Life style Do not eat in front of TV >60% of commercials during children’s programming are related to food Increase appetite / desire for these foods Tend to over eat: do not pay attention to if they are full, eat until food is gone Children who eat in front of TV consume higher fat and salt foods and less fruits and vegetable than those who do not

Slide 31 -

PREVENTION: PRESCHOOLER Anticipatory guidance Life style Limiting screen time in children 4-7 years of age associated with lower BMI Associated with decreased caloric intake Epstein,LH et al. Arch Pediatr Adolesc Me 162(3): 239-245, 2008

Slide 32 -

PREVENTION: PRESCHOOLER Anticipatory guidance Life style Stress the fact that parents act as role models for nutrition, physical activity and life style Promote the family meal Conversation slows down the eating process Parents determine the food that is to be consumed Parents can monitor intake of food Family meals associated with higher consumption of fruits, vegetables and milk Family meals associated with lower intake of fat and sweet beverages

Slide 33 -

PREVENTION: PRESCHOOLER Day care / preschool What and how much are the children being fed? Beverages Snacks What type and how much physical activity? Russell, RP et al. Pediatrics 114:1258-1263, 2004 What type and how much sedentary activity is there?

Slide 34 -

PREVENTION: SCHOOL AGED CHILD Measure and plot BMI Monitor BMI If increasing BMI % even if “normal” this is a red flag Review BMI curve with parents and child Provide positive reinforcement if normal
