6 OBESITY/OVERWEIGHT

7 Central obesity: a driving force for cardiovascular disease & diabetes Balzac by Rodin Front Back

8 Establish diagnosis: BMI BMI = weight (kg)/ [height (M)] 2 Correlates well with direct measures of adiposity Overweight child: BMI >85th and <95th percentile Obese child: BMI > 95th percentile If child < 3 years old, use weight for height

9 Measure BMI routinely at each regular check-up. Classifications: BMI = normal BMI = overweight BMI = obesity BMI 40 = extreme obesity Clinical Guidelines on the Identification, Evaluation, and Treatment of Overweight and Obesity in Adults: The Evidence Report. NIH Publication # , September 1998, National Institutes of Health.

10 Large waist circumference (WC) can identify some at increased risk over BMI alone If BMI and other cardiometabolic risk factors are assessed, currently there is insufficient evidence to: Substitute WC for BMI Measure WC in addition to BMI Klein, et al. Waist Circumference and Cardiometabolic Risk. Diabetes Care : dc v1-0.

26 Body Weight - Stroke High body mass index (BMI 25) increases risk of stroke in men and women 1 Abdominal adiposity is a risk factor for stroke in men but not women 2 A randomized trial in women found no effect of dietary interventions to reduce the incidence of stroke 3 1: Kurth T et al.: Circulation (2005) 111: : Hu G et al.: Arch Intern Med (2007) 167: : Howard B et al.: JAMA (2006) 295:

27 VA & SCD Related to Specific Pathology Obesity, Dieting, and Anorexia I I I IIa IIb III IIa IIb III IIa IIb III Life-threatening ventricular arrhythmias in patients with obesity, anorexia, or when dieting should be treated in the same manner that such arrhythmias are treated in patients with other diseases, including ICD and pacemaker implantation as required. Patients receiving ICD implantation should be receiving chronic optimal medical therapy and have reasonable expectation of survival with a good functional status for more than 1 year. Programmed weight reduction in obesity and carefully controlled re-feeding in anorexia can effectively reduce the risk of ventricular arrhythmias and SCD. Prolonged, unbalanced, very low calorie, semistarvation diets are not recommended; they may be harmful and provoke life-threatening ventricular arrhythmias.
