2 Rapidly Increasing Obesity 2

3 Pediatric Obesity Trends (10-17yrs) 2005 Obesity = body mass index (BMI) > 95th percentile of the 2000 Centers for Disease Control and Prevention BMI-for-age growth charts. Children with BMI 85 th - 95th = overweight. BMI = weight (Kg) / height (m2) Children age are included in this data

8 What Happens with Obesity Affects every system Morbidity and mortality Pre-pubertal obesity increased mortality from all causes including Ca breast in women, ischemic heart disease in men First generation to live sicker and die younger Must A et al.j Pediatr 2012; 160(5):

9 Obesity and Growth Breast development, pubarche and menarche earlier in girls with BMI >85 th compared to normal BMI No association of pubarche and male adiposity Breast stage 2 Pubic hair stage 3 Females Menarche Pubic hair stage 3 Males Rosenfield et al. Pediatrics 2009:123:

10 Obesity Increases Co-morbidities Risk OSA in > 50% of extremely obese adolescents screen for OSA (daytime sleepy, snoring, breathing pauses) NAFLD occurs in ~ 80% of extremely obese adolescents, and 20% have NASH; ALT>AST; less in Blacks Prediabetes is 3-5x more likely among severely obese adolescents compared with obese adolescents Kalra Paediatr Respir Rev 2006;7:260 Xanthakos Clin Gastroenterol Hepatol 2006;4:226 Reinehr Pediatr Diabetes 2009;10:395 10

13 Orthopedic Issues Fracture and MSS discomfort : obese > non-obese Most common joint complaint is knee These negatively affect participation in physical activities Taylor et al. Pediatrics 2006;117:

14 SCFE and Blount s Slipped capital femoral epiphysis (SCFE): hip (or referred knee) pain; limited hip abduction and internal rotation. Often bilateral Low threshold for x-ray Blount s disease: tibia bowing from growth plate pressure. Have knee pain and?bowing Can recur if obesity persists ped.jpg 1.jpg 14

15 Endocrine Causes of Obesity Rare and have growth failure Growth hormone deficiency Hypothyroidism Hypercortisolism moon facies, muscle loss, striae, visceral obesity, HTN, glucose intolerance, dyslipidemia Primary hyperinsulinism expect hypoglycemia first Pseudohypoparathyroidism low Ca, high phos, short, round face, short metacarpals, basal ganglia calcification, developmental delay Acquired Hypothalamic brain injury/tumor/radiation Speiser et al. J Clinical Endocrinoogy & metabol. 2005;90:

16 Endocrine Effects of Obesity Insulin resistance in 1/3 rd pre- and 2/3 rd post-pubertal Acanthosis nigricans Impaired glucose tolerance in about 25% of obese kids; 4% have NIDDM (which accounts for 10-45% of newlydiagnosed diabetes in youth) Kurtoğlu S et al. J Clin Res Pediatr Endocrinol. 2010;2:

17 NIDDM and Pediatric Obesity 17

18 Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome Obesity is risk factor for PCOS Symptom: oligo/amenorrhea, hirsutism, acne, abdominal obesity, insulin resistance, acanthosis, infertility HIRSUTISM Treatment: combination of lifestyle changes and OCP/ anti-androgens/metformin 18

19 NAFLD and NASH Adults (Children): >10% (3%) general population; >50% (>20%) of obese Mild-moderate rise: ALT > AST Levels correlate poorly with liver histology U/S, CT: Fatty infiltration Less in Black obesity surgery patients vs non-hispanic Whites and Hispanics (which were similar; n=238) Kallwitz ER et al.

25 Metabolic Health Concept Not all Obese have same metabolic derangements concept of Metabolic Health Metabolically Normal/Abnormal Lean, Obese, Over-weight concepts Metabolically Healthy Obese (MHO): favorable metabolic profile of BP, high insulin sensitivity and good lipid and inflammation profile 2% to 40% obese may be MHO Need studies to identify and dissect these 25

26 Objectives Why Worry Why Intervene Early What to do 26

27 Why Intervene Early? Parents often under-report weight; also, only 22.4% report being told their child was overweight (BMI >85 th ) ( ) If crossed 2 major percentiles before 2yrs : 50% more likely to be obese at age 5 years 75% more likely to be obese at 10 years It isn t just baby fat Do lifestyle changes early to prevent co-morbidities Perrin EM et al. Archives of Pediatrics & Adolescent Medicine. 2012; 166(4):317-22; Taveras EM et al. Archives of Pediatrics & Adolescent Medicine. 2011:185(11):993-8; Davison KK, Birch. Pediatrics. 2001: 107(1):

28 Life-style Changes: Kids but not Teens BMI reduction with lifestyle changes happened in young kids but faded away in Teens (6-16 yr old; 3 yr study) Danielsson et al. Arch Pediatr Adolesc Med 2012;166:

29 How Early to Start Prevention Data are from 1110 mother-child pairs participating in Project Viva. Estimates are adjusted for the mother s educational level and body-mass index (BMI), household income, and the child s race or ethnic group. Obesity was defined as a BMI above the 95 th percentile for age and sex. Excessive gestational weight gain was defined according to the 2009 recommendations of the Institute of Medicine. Plus signs indicate the presence of the risk factor, and minus signs the absence of the risk factor. I bars indicate 95% confidence intervals. Predicted Probability of Obesity at 7 to 10 Years of Age for 16 Combinations of Four Modifiable Prenatal and Postnatal Risk Factors Gillman MW, Ludwig DS. N Engl J Med 2013;369:

30 Objectives Why Worry Why Intervene Early What to do 30

31 History Taking - SPEEDS Snacks and Sodas/beverages Physical activity: exercise/activity/screen Eating habits: portion, speed, TV, outside meals Empower them reason and problems of obesity Daily Routine Sleep - habits, timing, hygiene, snoring 31

32 (em)power Them Processed/Junk Only eat while sitting Water/Drinks plain milk and plain water Exercise break a sweat for 60 minutes daily as tolerated, screen <2 hours Rewire other hand, 10 chews, put fork down, cut not bite, smaller portions, buy small bags, how you cook: beef it up without beef, 2 whites one yellow, open sandwich ; use daily schedule 32

43 Summary 1. Increasingly children are severely obese 2. Leads to high levels of CV disease risk factors, NAFLD, OSA, and pre-diabetes 3. Behavior modification has modest efficacy, is partner in all other interventions, but not readily available and resource-intense 4. Remember SPEEDS and empower! 43
