The Obesity Epidemic: Trends, Causes, Effects and Ways to Reduce the Incidence Karen Mason, Ph. D. , R. D. Western Kentucky University
Obesity Statistics The number of overweight and obese Americans has continued to increase since 1960 65. 1% of adult Americans are categorized as being overweight or obese (NHANES) Each year, obesity causes at least 300, 000 deaths in the U. S.
Obesity Trends U. S. Adults U. S. Children/Adolescents Worldwide
Obesity Definitions Obesity: having a very high amount of body fat in relation to lean body mass, or Body Mass Index (BMI) of 30 or higher. Overweight: having a BMI of 25 -29. 9 Body Mass Index (BMI): – a measure of an adult’s weight in relation to his or height – the adult’s weight in kilograms divided by the square of his or height in meters
Obesity Trends Among U. S. Adults between 1985 and 2003 Source of the data: CDC’s Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS) Collected by state health departments each year Data collected from a series of monthly telephone interviews with U. S. adults
Overweight in Children and Adolescents Based on BMI-for-Age Percentiles
BMI-for-Age for Girls
Overweight in Children and Adolescents Based on BMI-for-Age Percentiles 85 th percentile – Overweight (Note: CDC considers “at risk for overweight”) – Equivalent to the adult BMI of 25 95 th percentile – Obese (Note: CDC considers overweight) – Equivalent to the adult BMI of 30
Trends of overweight children From 1980 to 2002 Overweight children rose from 7% to 15. 8% Overweight teenagers tripled from 5% to 16. 1% Based on the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey published in JAMA 291: 2847 -50, 2004

Obesity Etiology Genetics Calorie Consumption Physical inactivity
Obesity Etiology Energy Imbalance: Calories consumed are greater than calories used
Obesity and Genetics Identical twin studies support that genes influence body weight and body fat. However, the obesity epidemic cannot be explained by changes in the human genome. Weight gain results from an interaction between genetics and environment (“obesity-promoting environment”). Source: Loos and Rankinen, 2005
Obesity and Calorie Consumption Americans spent 46% of their food budget away from home in 2002 and 27% in 1962. (Variyam 2005) Table-service restaurants now serve from 12 -inch plates rather than the standard 10½-in plates
Obesity and Calorie Consumption Individuals consume more calories when served larger portions. Americans consume more than 53 teaspoons of added sugars each day (Gardner 2001).
Obesity and Calorie Consumption From 1971 -2000, the average daily caloric intake rose: – for men, 2, 450 kcals to 2, 618 kcals – for women, 1, 542 kcals to 1, 877 kcals (http: //www. cdc. gov/nchs/) 62% of Americans are unaware the portion sizes have increased in the last 10 -15 years.

Would you like a combo meal? “value meals” and “combo meals” are used for profit by the food companies. When people are served more food, they eat more food. For a small price, you get more calories and saturated fat.
Now that’s a value! Mc. Donald’s Quarter Pounder w/Cheese Extra Value Meal Wendy’s Classic Double w/Cheese Combo Meal 530 calories 13 g saturated fat 1190 calories 17 g saturated fat 760 calories 19 g saturated fat 1360 calories 26 g saturated fat $1. 41 $1. 57

Obesity and Physical Inactivity
Statistics of physical inactivity More than 50% of U. S. adults do not get enough physical activity More than a third of young people in grades 9– 12 do not regularly engage in vigorous physical activity. Daily participation in high school physical education classes dropped from 42% in 1991 to 28% in 2003. Source: CDC, 2005
Maintaining a Healthy Weight is a Balancing Act Calories In = Calories Out How long will you have to walk leisurely in order to burn those extra 400 calories? * *Based on 160 -pound person
Calories In = Calories Out If you walk leisurely for 1 hour and 10 minutes you will burn approximately 400 calories. * *Based on 160 -pound person
Maintaining a Healthy Weight is a Balancing Act Calories In = Calories Out How long will you have to work in the garden to burn those extra calories? * *Based on 160 -pound person
Calories In = Calories Out If you work in the garden for 35 minutes, you will burn approximately 165 calories. * *Based on 160 -pound person
Children and TV watching Children and adolescents who watched the most TV were more obese than peers who watched less TV.
Benefits of physical activity Reduced risk for many chronic diseases Weight control Promotes healthy bones, muscles, and joints Reduces symptoms of anxiety and depression Associated with fewer hospitalizations, physician visits, and medications. Source: CDC, 2005
Physical activity recommendations Adults: minimum of 30 minutes of moderate-intensity physical activity on most days of the week Children and adolescents: at least 60 minutes of physical activity most days of the week Source: Dietary Guidelines for Americans, USDA, 2005
Effects of Obesity Medical/health Economic Social/Psychological
Health Effects of Obesity Mortality – increased risk of premature death Source: Sizer and Whitney, 2006
Health Effects of Obesity Morbidity – Type 2 Diabetes – Hypertension – Heart disease – Some cancers – Breathing Problems – Arthritis – Reproductive Complications
Prevalence of disease in people who are overweight or obese Type 2 Diabetes – 67% of all diabetics have a BMI 27 Hypertension – 41. 9% of men and 37. 8% of women with a BMI greater than 30 have high blood pressure High blood cholesterol – 22% of men and 27% of women with a BMI greater than 30 have high blood cholesterol Cancer – A BMI greater than 25 accounts for 14% of cancer deaths among men and 20% among women Source: http: //win. niddk. nih. gov/statistics/index. htm (Weight Control Information Network)
Economic Effects of Obesity American families, businesses, and governments were estimated to have spent $117 billion in 2001 on obesity related problems, primarily health care Annual medical spending due to overweight and obesity was estimated to be $92. 6 billion dollars in 2002 Source: http: //win. niddk. nih. gov/statistics/index. htm (Weight Control Information Network)
Social/Psychological Effects of Obesity More likely to be judged by appearance Less often sought after for romance Less often hired Associated with low self-esteem and poor body image Stereotyped as lazy and self-indulgent Sources: Sizer and Whitney, 2006 and Viner 2005
Ways to Reduce the Incidence of Obesity
Weight reduction Prevention of weight gain Treatment of weight gain
Select Findings from the Childhood Obesity Resource Planning Project Funded through an American Academy of Pediatrics CATCH Planning Grant
CATCH Grant Pediatricians, Parents, and Educators were surveyed in the Barren River Area Development District (10 counties in Bowling Green area)
Parent’s Identification of Children’s Overweight Status
Parents’ Attitudes and Beliefs 73. 4% of parents believe their MD would tell them if their child was overweight Most parents believe that overweight children have an increased risk for health problems However, most parents are not concerned about children’s weight Most parents believe talking to children about their weight will cause eating disorders or problems with self-esteem
MDs’ Attitudes and Beliefs Many MDs do not discuss dietary changes or exercise with their overweight patients Many MDs believe that parents/family lack motivation for child to lose weight
Educators’ Attitudes and Beliefs They feel they have no control over the amount of activity student get per day. They feel it is important to have healthy snack options at school, but most (91%) used food as an incentive or reward 88% of KY schools use food as rewards
How to Get Involved
Site-Based Councils Set policies for what can and cannot be sold in schools Reevaluate the contracts between your district and soft drink industries Require schools to have daily physical activity Schools should have the equipment and supervision for children to meet physical activity needs
Recent KY Legislation Kentucky lawmakers passed SB 172 in March 2005 1) bans soft drink sales in elementary school during the school day 2) limits retail fast food in cafeterias to once a week 3) requires each school district to have a credentialed nutrition specialist to plan lunches
School Administrators Promote healthier eating and physical activity in your school Have a Health Educator, Registered Dietitian, County Extension Agent or School Foodservice Director come to your faculty/staff meetings to bring unity on this issue Give students healthier options in the vending machines
Foodservice Directors Make healthy food options appealing Provide low-fat, low-calorie, and low-sugar food items Reduce access to high-fat, high-calorie, high-sugar foods, and excessive portion sizes Plan school menu with a group of parents and teachers
Information for Foodservice Directors High school students changed their food choices based solely on the availability of nutrition labels posted at the POS - more healthful entrees increased (Conklin 2005)
Teachers Have some form of movement in the health curriculum For bake sales/class parties, have parents bring healthy snacks Do not reward students with food or punish students by taking away recess Raise awareness to students and staff on the benefits of physical activity Have a health educator speak to students on ways to be more active
Parents Limit TV, movies, video and computer games for children to 1 -2 hours per day (American Academy of Pediatrics) Encourage child to be involved in organized sports, 4 -H programs, outdoor activities, active playtime at home Enjoy regular exercise with the entire family Assign active chores to all family members Contact your school/school board to let them know that you are concerned about food and physical activity at school
Parents Buy healthier snacks (like fruit and vegetables) Be a healthy role model for your children Reduce the consumption of soft drinks and snack foods Buy only 100% fruit juice Consuming adequate calcium Eat meals together at the dinner table Avoid watching TV during mealtimes Limit fast food eating to no more than once per week Avoid using food as a reward or using the lack of food as a punishment
Civic Leaders Work with city planners and engineers to plan for sidewalks and bicycle paths Designate a place and promote a farmer’s market Create a community coalition to address childhood overweight in your area
