Objectives
• 1) Review the epidemiological link between obesity, metabolic syndrome and diabetes.
• 2) Review impact of obesity and disparities in obesity.
• 3) Review interventions that may curtail the impact of obesity and diabetes with specific focus on eliminating disparities.
Defining Obesity
• BMI– Normal 18 – 24.9 kg/ m2
– Overweight 25 – 29.9 kg/m2
– Obese 30 – 40 kg/m2
– Extremely Obese > 40 kg/m2
Defining Obesity
• Other measures– Triceps Skin Fold Thickness– Waist Circumference– Waist to Hip Ratio– Absolute Pounds Over Ideal Body Weight
Obesity & Tobacco Cause Over 735,000 Deaths Yearly In The U.S.

Obesity as “Contributor To” vs. “Marker For” Poor Health
• Healthiest Alabama County– Shelby
28 % obesity in adults8 % of children live in poverty
• Least Healthy Alabama County– Bullock
• 38% obesity in adults• 38% of children live in poverty

General Facts About Obesity In The U.S. 2004
The Surgeon General (David Satcher) labeled obesity an epidemic (2000) and the country’s major health problem for the beginning of the 21st century.
• 55% of Women in USA, 63% of Men and 15% of children are overweight (BMI ≥ 25) and/or obese (BMI ≥ 30) .
• 300,000 pre-mature deaths/year attributable to obesity
• ≥ $100 billion in health care costs/year (5-7% of the total health care budget)
• Contributing substantially to the epidemic of diabetes also occurring in the U.S. and worldwide

Diabetes Prevalence (CDC 2005)
• 7% of US population has diabetes (20.8 million)– 21% of Americans >/= 60 yrs– 10% aged 40-59 yrs– 2% aged 20-39 yrs– At current trends persons born in 2000 have 1
in 3 chance of developing diabetes.
Rate of new cases of type 1 and type 2 diabetes among youth aged <20 years, by race/ethnicity, 2002–2003,
(CDC)

Who Is At Highest Risk for Type 2 Diabetes
• Older age
• Ethnic Minority
• Obese
• Family History of Diabetes
• Physically Inactive
• History of Gestational Diabetes
• Hypertension
Consequences of Diabetes if Not Controlled
• Blindness
• Amputations
• Kidney Failure
• Heart Attack
• Stroke
– Therefore prevention of Type 2 Diabetes is important!

Jackson Heart Study: Physical Activity and Obesity
(Ethnicity and Disease 2010, 20:383)
• Dose response between physical activity and BMI / WC
• Lower physical activity generally associated with being female, increasing age, lower education, and lower income.
• Overweight group most active.• Relatively high participation in active living and
sport physical activity, but the intensity was low.
Questions About Fat – Is all fat equal?
• Where is it?– Visceral, subcutaneous, intramuscular, central,
peripheral, upper body, lower body
• How much is there?– Fat mass
• Is there enough?– lipodystrophy
• Who has it?– Gender, ethnicity
Fat: Who has it and where it is may impact its effects
Worse. More likely in AA women, but may not have as severe consequences in that group.
Apple vs. Pear Shapes
Where is the Fat? Subcutaneous vs. Visceral Fat
Liver, kidney, intestines, etc.
Abdominal Cross section
So, Why Are We Fat? (YRUFAT)
• Thrifty Gene Hypothesis– Hunter-Gathers for 84,000 generations– Required large amount of daily energy just to
survive (chase down the wild animal, gather the nuts, berries, roots, etc.)
– Those with genetics / metabolism that allowed for storage of calories to survive long durations without food had a survival advantage.
So, Why Are We Fat? (YRUFAT)
• Thrifty Gene Hypothesis• What about the last 350 Generations
– Agricultural Revolution (350 generations ago)– Industrial Revolution (7 generations ago)– Digital Age (2 generations ago)
– Result: Ease in getting calories and maintaining necessities for survival and less need to expend energy.
So, Why Are We Fat? (YRUFAT)
• Thrifty Gene Hypothesis
• Results of Progress– The survival advantage of storing calories
for long periods of fasting is now a survival disadvantage as it leads to obesity and its severe health consequences.
• (See O’Keefe, et al. The American Journal of Medicine (2010) 123:1082.)
Solutions to the Obesity / Diabetes Epidemic
• Increase Physical Activity
• Improve Diets / Nutrition
• Weight Loss
• Reduce Social and Environmental Stressors
Determinants of HealthDeterminants of Health
Schroeder SA. We can do better – Improving the health of the American People. N Engl J Med. 2007;357:1221-8
How Much Exercise Do We Prescribe?
• Exercise, in the absence of weight loss, prevented diabetes among those with impaired fasting glucose. (Diabetes Prevention Project)
• Walking: Moderate vs. High intensity– Even older adults can be trained to exercise– Something is better than nothing.– Mayo Clin Proc (2007) 82: 797; 82: 803.
Recommendations For Exercise(O’Keefe, Amer J Med (2010) 123: 1082)
• Return to Hunter-Gatherer Fitness– Walk 6 – 16 km, expend 800 – 1200 kcal (3 – 5
X more than average American Adult).– Follow hard days with lighter days (ample rest,
sleep, relaxation)– Interval training: intermittent bursts of
moderate- to high-level intensity activity mixed with periods of recovery.
Recommendations For Exercise(O’Keefe, Amer J Med (2010) 123: 1082)
• Return to Hunter-Gatherer Fitness– Strength and flexibility training– Maintain physical activity your entire life
• High and medium physical activity after age 50 associated with lower mortality than those with low physical activity (Byberg BMJ (2009) 338:b688).
– Do physical activity in social settings (take advantage of natural world).
Recommendations For Exercise
• Practical Considerations– Get 30 or minutes of aerobic activity 4 – 5 times per
week. Should break a light sweat.• Can do in 5 – 10 minute intervals
• Park at outskirts of parking lot rather than circling for several minutes to get a spot close to the door.
• Gardening, walking, biking, swimming (all activities count)
• Find ways to increase physical activity at work (take stairs, deliver a memo yourself, take a walk around building).
Challenges and Questions
• Prevention is Critical
• Behavior Modification Has to Start Early
• Children have to be a major focus or our attention!!!!!
Robert Wood Johnson Foundation Childhood Obesity Initative
• “We want to help all children and families eat well and move more—especially those in communities at highest risk for obesity. Our goal is to reverse the childhood obesity epidemic by 2015 by improving access to affordable healthy foods and increasing opportunities for physical activity in schools and communities across the nation.”– www.rwjf.org/childhoodobesity/

Childhood Obesity
• Nearly 1/3 of U.S. children are overweight or obese.
• 16.3% of children ages 2- 19 are obese
• Great increase in obesity and overweight over the last 4 decades.
• An obese teenager has 80% chance of being and obese adult.

Sugar Sweetened Beverages – Disparities in Intake
• African American Collaborative Obesity Research Network (AACORN) - trends in sugar-sweetened beverage (SSB)
– Black Americans (both genders, wide age range) consume more calories from SSBs daily compared with White Americans.
– Since the 1990s, SSB consumption among Black adolescents has increased significantly compared to White adolescents.
– Studies suggest that SSB marketing disproportionately targets Black Americans relative to Whites.
• www.rwjf.org/childhoodobesity/
School Based Interventions to Combat Childhood Obesity
• Playworks / Sports4Kids– Goal is to bring play back into lives of American
Children– Organizes activities at recess for schools
• Old fashioned games (hopscotch, 4-square, etc)• Conflict resolution• Participation is focus, not winning
– Hires and trains coaches who work at school full time and run recess programs.
• The Robert Wood Johnson Anthology, To Improve Health and Health Care, vol 14, chapter 3, 2011
Disparities in Factors Leading to Childhood Obesity
• White neighborhoods are 4 times more likely to have supermarkets than Black neighborhoods
• Communities with high poverty rates are significantly less likely to have places for exercise (parks, safe school yards, green spaces, bike trails, etc)
You can lead the horse to water but you can’t make him drink.
• What improves the chance that the horse may take a drink?– Comfort in surroundings– Realizing that it needs to drink
Disparity in Weight Perception and Weight Management Behavior
• Hispanic and Black Women who are overweight or obese are more likely to “under-assess their weight and incorrectly perceive themselves to be at recommended weight.”– Ethnicity and Disease (2010) 20: 244– Int J Obes Relat Metab Disord (2003) 27: 856– Obes Res (2002) 10:345– Obesity (2009) 17: 790
Practical Barriers to Healthy Lifestyles and Healthy Communities
• Lack of access to healthy food choices– Where are supermarkets?
– Development of community food markets provides healthy sources of calories and neighborhood jobs
• Unsafe, none walk able neighborhoods• No public parks for recreation• Lack of effective physical education programs in
schools
Can we legislate healthy behaviors?
• Soda pop taxes
• Limit use of food stamps for certain foods– New York City
• Taxes or surcharges for health insurance premiums– Obesity– Smoking
Action is Urgently Necessary to Impact the Obesity / Diabetes Epidemic
• More 3rd Generation Research– Research looking for a positive outcome, rather than
merely documenting the problem
– Locally focused, community-based programs are the most effective
• We need: Healthy communities where physical activity is encouraged and actually an option, healthy foods are available, and health care providers are nearby.

The Institute of Medicine (IOM) produced Local Government Action to Prevent Childhood Obesity
• Healthy Eating:• Create incentive programs to attract supermarkets and grocery stores to underserved
neighborhoods; • Require menu labeling in chain restaurants to provide consumers with calorie
information on in-store menus and menu boards; • Mandate and implement strong nutrition standards for foods and beverages available in
government-run or regulated after-school programs, recreation centers, parks, and child-care facilities, including limiting access to unhealthy foods and beverages;
• Adopt building codes to require access to, and maintenance of, fresh drinking water fountains (e.g. public restrooms).
• Implement a tax strategy to discourage consumption of foods and beverages that have minimal nutritional value, such as sugar sweetened beverages.
• Develop media campaigns, utilizing multiple channels (print, radio, internet, television, social networking, and other promotional materials) to promote healthy eating (and active living) using consistent messages.

The Institute of Medicine (IOM) produced Local Government Action to Prevent Childhood Obesity
• Physical Activity Promising Strategies:• Plan, build and maintain a network of sidewalks and street crossings that connects
to schools, parks and other destinations and create a safe and comfortable walking environment;
• Adopt community policing strategies that improve safety and security of streets and park use, especially in higher-crime neighborhoods;
• Collaborate with schools to implement a Safe Routes to Schools program; • Build and maintain parks and playgrounds that are safe and attractive for playing,
and in close proximity to residential areas; • Collaborate with school districts and other organizations to establish agreements
that would allow playing fields, playgrounds, and recreation centers to be used by community residents when schools are closed (joint-use agreements); and
• Institute regulatory policies mandating minimum play space, physical equipment and duration of play in preschool, afterschool and child-care programs.
