1 Global Epidemic of Obesity June Stevens, MS, PhD University of North Carolina Chapel Hill
2 Outline Obesity and overweight prevalence rates in the United States Prevalence in diverse countries Environmental and social influences Global obesity link to global cancer What s coming?
3 We ve all heard about obesity in the U.S.
4 On TV
5 In Magazines
6 February 9, 2010, 1:33 pm Michelle Obama Leads Campaign Against Obesity By SHERYL GAY STOLBERG Luke Sharrett/The New York Times President Obama signed a memorandum on childhood obesity in the Oval Office with from left, Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius, Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack, First Lady Michelle Obama and Interior Secretary Ken Salazar.
7 United States Overweight: BMI kg/m 2 Obese: BMI 30.0 kg/m 2 2/3 of adults overweight or obese 1/3 of adults are obese
8 U.S. From to prevalence of obesity steadily increased among both genders, all ages, all racial/ethnic groups, all educational levels, and all smoking levels Rates of increase lower since 1999, but the prevalence remains high
9 But the U.S. isn t alone or the world s most obese

13 Many other countries and regions have >65% prevalence of overweight and obesity (W.H.O., 2010)

19 2002: Overweight and obesity rates
20 2010: Overweight and obesity rates
21
22 Brazil Repeated cross-sectional, population-based surveys (1975, 1989, 2003) Prevalence increased between each 14 year period : Men- 60% increase, Women- 50% increase All income groups : Distinct pattern with income in women (Monteiro, 2007 )
23 Brazil- (Monteiro, 2007) Women of highest income groups had a small decrease in obesity prevalence, while the lowest income groups continued to increase Secular trends in age-adjusted obesity prevalence rates by income among women
24 Body Image Attitudes and Economic Development
25 Effect of Economy $2,500 per capita is the tipping point for the transition from higher rates of obesity in rich to higher rates in the poor (Monteiro, 2004)
26 Africa (Abubakari, 2008) Higher socio-economic groups found to have higher rates of obesity in West Africa. Body fatness is often considered desirable a sign of fertility, prosperity, and happiness
27
28 West African Countries Data- from a Meta analysis of studies from on West African Countries Urbanization- increasing faster than any other region 4% of population moves to an urban area/ year By over 30% of the African population will live in urban areas (Abubakari, 2008)
29 Why is urbanization important? Decrease in Physical Activity Decrease in manual labor Change in transportation methods Change in food habits Decrease in meals prepared at home (inadequate kitchens, increase options out of home) Increased availability of energy-dense processed foods Increase in sugar and fat intake
30 West African Region- Urban men and women have a high prevalence rate of obesity compared to their rural counter parts (Abubakari, 2008) Urban women Rural women Urban men Rural men
31 Odds of Obesity in urban areas are higher than in rural areas in the West Africa countries of Cameroon (C), Ghana (G), and Nigeria (N) (Abubakari, 2008) 2.70 (1.76, 4.15)
32 Many developing countries have a higher prevalence of overweight than underweight in women 20-49y especially in urban areas. (Ranked by Gross National Income in 2009 dollars) (1a) Urban Women (1b) Rural Women Mexico [4440] Brazil [4320] S.

Mendez, Monteiro, Popkin (2005): AJCN

34 China Chinese population considered to have an ideal BMI mean BMI 20, with less than 1% of population at either extreme. (James, 2008)
35 China Study of overweight prevalence in Chinese adults aged (n=7,858) comparing 1991 to (Wildman, 2008)
36 China- BMI >25 prevalence increased in all groups from (Wildman, 2008)
37 Why the shift? Diet includes more sweeteners, more edible oil, greater energy density of foods, and more animal products Lower prices on oil (20-50% of price 40 years ago), greater availability (James, 2008) Physical activity patterns are changing as fewer jobs require manual labor, transportation methods change, and urbanization increases Change from bikes to cars in China Globalization of the food market (Popkin, 2005)

41 Effects of overweight and obesity on cancer US, UK, Brazil and China
42 The Prevalence of Overweight Plus Obesity (BMI > 25) Children Aged and Overweight and Obese for Adults Aged 18 and Older U.S.A. U.K. Brazil China Popkin (2007)
43 Impact on Cancer 2007 WCRF/AICR Diet and Cancer Report Population Attributable Fraction- The proportional reduction in disease incidence that would be achieved in a population by eliminating the causal exposure
44 For example- Esophageal cancer in Americans PAF% = 35 Theoretically, there would be a 35% decrease in incidence of Esophageal Cancer in the U.S. if overweight and obesity were prevented.
45 PAF% for various cancer sites affected by body fatness Cancer Site USA UK Brazil China Endometrium Esophagus Pancreas Kidney Gallbladder Breast Colorectum Data: WCRF/AICR Policy and Action for Cancer Prevention adapted from tables A2 and A4 p
46 Total PAF% for cancer sites affected by body fatness USA UK Brazil China Total estimate (male) Total estimate (female)
47 United States In 2000, it was estimated that 14-20% of all cancer deaths, or over 90,000 deaths, could be attributed to overweight and obesity in US adults. (Calle, 2003)
48 Summary The U.S. is not alone- overweight and obesity is a global problem Obesity rates also high in diverse countries Complex associations between economic prosperity, culture and urban living with obesity Very likely that global increases in obesity will result in increases in certain types of cancers Esophagus, Pancreas, Gallbladder, Colorectum, Kidney, Breast and Endometrium
