ObesityObesity• AHA and NIH have recognized obesity as a major modifiable risk factor for
CHD
• Obesity is a risk factor for development of hypertension, diabetes, and dyslipidemia
• Obesity also linked to insulin resistance, particular intraabdominal fat estimated by waist circumference
The “Top 10” alternative reasons for obesity:
1. Inadequate sleep. (Average sleep amounts have fallen, and many studies tie sleep deprivation to weight gain.)
The “Top 10” alternative reasons for obesity:
2. Endocrine disruptors, which are substances in some foods that might alter fats in the body.
The “Top 10” alternative reasons for obesity:
3. Nice temperatures. (Air conditioning and heating limit calories burned from sweating and shivering.)
The “Top 10” alternative reasons for obesity:
4. Fewer people smoking. (Less appetite suppression.)
The “Top 10” alternative reasons for obesity:
5. Medicines that cause weight gains
The “Top 10” alternative reasons for obesity:
6. Population changes. (More middle-agers and Hispanics, who have higher obesity rates.)
The “Top 10” alternative reasons for obesity:
7. Older birth moms. (That correlates with heavier children.)
The “Top 10” alternative reasons for obesity:
8. Genetic influences during pregnancy
The “Top 10” alternative reasons for obesity:
9. Darwinian natural selection. (Fat people out survive skinny ones).
The “Top 10” alternative reasons for obesity
10. Assortative mating, or like mating with like,” Allison puts it. Translation: fat people procreating with others of the same body type, gradually skewing the population toward the heavy end.

Disease Risk Associated with Disease Risk Associated with Overweight and ObesityOverweight and Obesity
• “Disease risk in early life is associated with respiratory conditions and several risk factors for coronary heart disease and is predictive of hypertension, diabetes, coronary heart disease and all-cause mortality.”
• Other risk factors include certain types of cancers, high blood cholesterol level, gall bladder disease, and osteoarthritis.
Prevalence and Risk of ObesityPrevalence and Risk of Obesity
• NHANES III shows approximately 60% of men and 50% of women are obese or overweight, with 20% of men and 25% of women having a BMI of 30 or greater
• BMI 27-29 associated with a RR of total mortality of 1.6, BMI 29-32 RR 2.1, and BMI >=32 RR 2.2 vs. BMI <19 from Nurses’ Health Study.
Increasing Prevalence of Overweight Increasing Prevalence of Overweight and Obesityand Obesity
• Obesity has increased in every state, in both sexes, across all age groups, educational levels, and smoking statuses.
• Over the last 3 decades there has been a 25% increase in the number of people who qualify as overweight.
Percentage of Overweight and Percentage of Overweight and Obesity in the United States Obesity in the United States
• For adults 25 years and older the percentage of people who qualify as overweight is 63% for men and 55% for women.
• Specifically, 42% of men and 28% of women are overweight. While 21% of men and 27% of women are obese.

Obesity & Hypertension
Clinical Presentation of Hypertension• High blood pressure = BP > 90th percentile for age gender and
height.• Hypertension= BP > 95th percentile for age, gender and height. • Primary Hypertension
– most common cause of Hypertension in Children over 6 years of age<6 years of age
• Secondary Hypertension– Renal disease– Aortic Coarctation
• Primary isolated systolic– Isolated systolic hypertension is an independent risk factor for
cardiovascular disease– 50% prevalence in obese
Obesity and HypertensionObesity and Hypertension
• For every 1 kg/m2 increase in BMI, increased risk of hypertension in Nurses’ Health Study was 12%
• Those with a BMI >31 RR=6.3 for developing HTN compared with BMI <19.
• Study showed each 10 kg weight to be associated with an increase of 3mmHg SBP and 2.2mHg DBP.
• Increased insulin levels may explain relation of obesity with HTN, as compensatory increases in insulin are required to maintain glucose homeostasis, and insulin may elevate BP by affecting renal sodium retention, raising peripheral resistance.

– Increase in carotid intima media thickness in adolescents with hypertension
• Increase in Left Ventricular Mass/ Mass index indicating hypertrophy
• There is a synergistic effect on CVD with lipids
• Increases the risk for renal disease which in turn increases the risk for CVD
Treatment of Hypertension
• Weight loss– Demonstrated in observational & interventional
studies– Decrease of 8/7 to16/9 mmHg for children with
3.9kg weight loss vs 10% weight loss respectively

• NHANES I follow-up showed a 1.5-fold greater risk of CVD in those women with a BMI >29 vs. <21.
• A waist circumference of >35 inches in women, and >40 inches in men is also associated with greater CHD risk.
Weight Related Risks for CHD and Weight Related Risks for CHD and StrokeStroke
Obesity and DyslipidemiaObesity and Dyslipidemia
• Obesity is associated with higher LDL-C and triglycerides, and lower HDL-C.
Obesity and DyslipidemiaObesity and Dyslipidemia
• Weight loss reduces triglycerides, increases HDL-C, and lowers LDL-C
Obesity and DyslipidemiaObesity and Dyslipidemia
• Rates of cholesterol synthesis correlate with excess body mass
• Data suggest a 10kg/m2 increment in BMI is associated with a 3.2 mg/dl (women) to 10 mg/dl (men) lower HDL-C and about a 10 mg/dl greater LDL-C
Atherosclerosis & Dyslipidemia
• Evidence from adult studies
• Evidence in Children & Adolescents– PDAY– In vivo studies
• decreased compliance of arteries
• increased IMT in adolescents with dyslipidemia
Treatment of Dyslipidemia
• Weight loss• Exercise• Nutrition
– Saturated fat <10% of calories– Total fat < 20-30% of calories– < 300mg cholesterol/day– Increase fiber intake

Preventing Cardiovascular Disease
• Regular exercise (4-5 times/week)– Decreases weight gain– Increases HDL– Decreases blood pressure– Decreases inflammatory factors
• Healthy eating patterns– Minimize saturated fat

Obesity and DiabetesObesity and Diabetes
• In Pima Indians (approx 50% of adults diabetic), incidence (per 1000 person-years) was 0.8 if BMI <20, but 72 if BMI >40.
• In Nurses’ Health Study, BMI 23-23.9 showed a RR=3.6 for diabetes compared with BMI <22. Weight again was very important, with weight again of 20-35kg associated with an 11-fold greater risk of diabetes, >35kg 17-fold.
• In Health Professionals Study among men, BMI >35 associated with RR=42 for developing diabetes.
Obesity and DiabetesObesity and Diabetes• Obesity worsens insulin sensitivity, eventually exhausting
pancreatic production of insulin, causing hyperglycemia and diabetes.
Impaired Glucose Tolerance & Diabetes
Normal IFG or IGT DiabetesFPG <100 mg/dl FPG= 100 - 125 mg/dl
(IFG)FPG > 126 mg/dl
2-h PG <140 mg/dl 2-h PG=140- 199mg/dl (IGT)
2-h PG > 200 mg/dl
Symptoms of diabetes & casual plasma glucose concentration 200 mg/dl
Based on ADA Recs: Diabetes Care 2004
In the absence of unequivocal hyperglycemia, a diagnosis of diabetes must be confirmed, on a subsequent day, by measurement of FPG, 2-h PG, or random plasma glucose (if symptoms are present). The FPG test is greatly preferred because of ease of administration, convenience, acceptability to patients, and lower cost. Fasting is defined as no caloric intake for at least 8 h.
This test requires the use of a glucose load containing the equivalent of 75 g anhydrous glucose dissolved in water. 2-h PG, 2-h postload glucose
Who to Test for IGT & Diabetes
• Obese: BMI>85%
• Age: Earliest of the following, > 10 years of age or onset of puberty
• And 2 of the following:– Family history of T2DM in 1st or 2nd degree relative
– Ethnicity: Native American; African-American; Latino; Asian; Pacific Islander

Adolescent and Adult Adolescent and Adult InterventionsInterventions
• Decrease Television viewing• Decrease consumption of high fat foods• Increase fruit and vegetable intake• Increase moderate and vigorous physical activity
Weight Control and Risk ReductionWeight Control and Risk Reduction
• Weight loss improves BP, dyslipidemia, and diabetes.
• Clinical trials show normotensive overweight persons on a hypocaloric diet had a lowering of blood pressure and reduced incidence of hypertension. DASH diet high in vegetables and fruits showed significant lowering of SBP and DBP both in persons with and without HTN.
• Weight control also lessens hyperglycemia and has been shown to be related to reduced diabetes-related mortality and improvements in glucose and insulin levels.
• Among Indian coronary patients, those randomized to low saturated fat, high fruit and vegetable diet plus weight-loss advice, compared to usual care, showed a 50% reduction in cardiac events and 45% lower mortality in those who lost more than 5kg.
Weight Control and Risk ReductionWeight Control and Risk Reduction
• Meta-analysis of 70 randomized controlled trials shows correlation between fall in LDL-C and amount of weight loss (Dattilo et al., 1992)
• Combined programs of weight loss and exercise are associated with greater increases in HDL-C and more significant loss of weight and fat.
• Findings are less consistent in women, however, and often LDL-C/HDL-C ratio worsens. While HDL-C is inversely related to CHD risk in populations, low rates of CHD are seen in populations with low-fat diets who have lower levels of both LDL-C and HDL-C.
Fat vs. Caloric RestrictionFat vs. Caloric Restriction
• While fat from calories has been reduced from 40-42% to 34% over the past 30 years, recent data show we consume more calories
• Message of caloric restriction needs to be coupled with dietary fat reduction, with greater emphasis on fruit and vegetable consumption
• Greater availability of low-fat and fat-free foods allows for substitution away from traditional higher-fat alternatives. Fat and calorie restriction needs to be individualized to patient need and risk-factor profile.
Hypocaloric DietsHypocaloric Diets
• Such diets allow for 1000-1200 kcal/day, with very low-calorie diets providing only 400-500 kcal/day.
• Initial weight loss may be more rapid with the very low-calorie diet, but amount of weight loss over one year is similar with either plan and adherence better with the moderate diet.
• Combination of low calorie diet plus exercise is more successful than either strategy alone.
Health Benefits of Weight Loss
• Decreased cardiovascular risk
• Decreased glucose and insulin levels
• Decreased blood pressure
• Decreased LDL and triglycerides, increased HDL
• Decrease in severity of sleep apnea
• Reduced symptoms of degenerative joint disease
• Improved gynecological conditions

Algorithm (Part 3 of 3)
* This algorithm applies only to the assessment for overweight and obesity and subsequent decisions based on that assessment. It does not include any initial overall assessment for cardiovascular risk factors or diseases that are indicated.
Goals of Weight Management/Treatment
• Prevent further weight gain (minimum goal).
• Reduce body weight.• Maintain a lower body weight over
long term.
Target Weight: Realistic Goals• Substitute “healthier weight” for ideal or
landmark weight.
• Accept slow, incremental progress to goal.
— Short-term goal: 5 to 10 percent loss, 1 to 2 lb per week.
— Interim goal: Maintenance.
— Long-term goal: Additional weight loss, if desired, and long-term weight maintenance.
Weight Loss Goals
Goal: Decrease body weight by 10 percent frombaseline.• If goal is achieved, further weight loss can be
attempted if indicated.• Reasonable timeline: 6 months of therapy.
– Moderate caloric deficits– Weight loss 1 to 2 lb/week
Weight Loss Goals
• Start weight maintenance efforts after 6 months.
– May need to be continued indefinitely.
• If unable to lose weight, prevent further weight gain.
Strategies for Weight Loss and Maintenance
• Dietary therapy• Physical activity• Behavior therapy• “Combined” therapy• Pharmacotherapy• Weight loss surgery
Whenever possible, weight loss therapy should employ the combination of
• Low-calorie/low-fat diets
• Increased physical activity
• Behavior modification
Weight Loss Therapy
Dietary Therapy (1 of 5)
Low-calorie diets (LCD) are recommended for weight loss in overweight and obese persons.Evidence Category A.
Reducing fat as part of an LCD is a practicalway to reduce calories. Evidence Category A.
Dietary Therapy (2 of 5)
Low-calorie diets can reduce total body weight by an average of 8 percent and help reduce abdominal fat content over a period of 6 months. Evidence Category A.
Dietary Therapy (3 of 5)
Although lower fat diets without targeted caloriereduction help promote weight loss by producinga reduced calorie intake, lower fat diets coupledwith total calorie reduction produce greaterweight loss than lower fat diets alone. Evidence Category A.
Dietary Therapy (4 of 5)
Very low-calorie diets produce greater initialweight loss than low-calorie diets. However,long-term (>1 year) weight loss is not differentfrom an LCD. Evidence Category A.
Dietary Therapy (5 of 5)
Very Low-Calorie Diets (less than 800 kcal/day):
• Rapid weight loss• Deficits are too great• Nutritional inadequacies• Greater weight regain• No change in behavior• Greater risk of gallstones
Low-Calorie Step I DietNutrient Recommended Intake
Calories 500 to 1,000 kcal/day reduction
Total Fat 30 percent or less of total calories
SFA 8 to 10 percent of total calories
MUFA Up to 15 percent of total calories
PUFA Up to 10 percent of total calories
Cholesterol <300 mg/day
Low-Calorie Step I Diet (continued)
Nutrient Recommended Intake
Protein ~ 15 percent of total calories
Carbohydrate 55 percent or more of total calories
Sodium Chloride No more than 100 mmol/day (~ 2.4 g of sodium or ~ 6 g of sodium chloride)

Determining a Healthy Body WeightDetermining a Healthy Body Weight
• Assess your body composition.• Choose a target value for BMI or percent body fat that is
realistic for you and will ensure good health.• Consult a physician if you have any known risk factors for
disease.• Determine the recommended body weight based on your
BMI or percent body fat goal.• Examine the body weight that the formulas generate for
you and allow for individual genetic, cultural, and lifestyle factors.
Key MessagesKey Messages• Adolescents and young adults, both male and female, benefit
from physical activity.• Physical activity need not be strenuous to be beneficial. • Moderate amounts of daily physical activity are recommended
for people of all ages. This amount can be obtained in longer sessions of moderately intense activities, such as brisk walking for 30 minutes, or in shorter sessions of more intense activities, such as jogging or playing basketball for 15-20 minutes.
• Greater amounts of physical activity are even more beneficial, up to a point. Excessive amounts of physical activity can lead to injuries, menstrual abnormalities, and bone weakening.
Eating Well and Feeling GoodEating Well and Feeling Good• Be active • Have fun!• Feel good about yourself
“All parts of the body which have a function, used in moderation and exercised in labours in which
each is accustomed, become thereby healthy, well-developed and age more slowly, but if unused and left idle, they become liable to disease, defective in
growth and age quickly.”
