38 National Economic Costs Obesity alone costs $147 billion per year in U.S. Annual medical costs for a person with a BMI of 35 or over is 76% higher than a healthy weight individual* Obesity adds 20 days of lost productivity per year/per obese employee, a cost of $5,350** 16.3% of GDP spent on healthcare in 2009 will go to 19.6% by 2016 if we do nothing to change our health. Sources: *Kaiser Permanente, Health Services use and Healthcare costs of obese and nonobese individuals. Arch of Internal Medicine 10/04 **Present Dangers: Disability, Risk & Insurance, March 2004

39 Cost of inactivity CDC estimates physically active people cost $330 less than inactive people Michigan council on physical fitness health and sports found that inactivity among the 55% of adults cost $9 billion in medical care, workers comp and lost productivity.

40 Cost of Chronic Disease $3 out of every $4 spent on healthcare. $7,900 for every American with a chronic disease. Costs for someone who has one or more chronic conditions is 5 times greater than healthy population. References: Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

41 Emerging Health and Productivity Research Absenteeism associated with chronic conditions resulted in up to 8.85 days lost per year. Presenteeism associated with chronic conditions resulted in up to 91 days lost per year. Riedel & Associates data collected via the Stanford Presenteeism Scale from 8,000 Dow Chemical employees

44 Before we get into inactivity A little about poor nutrition A little about stress

45

46 Effects of Nutritional Behaviors In general, research suggests that dietary patterns influence: Attention span Short term memory Emotional affect Social functioning Irritability Fatigue

47 Brain Affected by Junk Food Ads Brain scans of normal, hungry people exposed to appetizing food stimuli, such as product ads, had reactions similar to those of cocaine addicts responding to drug stimuli. Marked increase in brain metabolism [triggered] by the presentation of food provides evidence of the high sensitivity of the human brain to food stimuli. Constant food stimuli in the environment is likely to contribute to the epidemic of obesity. NeuroImage Journal April 2004

48 Obesogenic Environment

49 Commute Most Stressful Part of Daily Life One survey found many people believe commuting is more stressful than problems at work or at home or even money worries Commuters can experience greater stress than fighter pilots or riot policemen Commutes are longer

50 Stress and health Emotional distress may accelerate the aging of the body's cells at the genetic level Stress directly affects weight gain and metabolism

51 We Used to Call Exercise Work Past generations viewed physical activity as necessary for labor/work. Leisure time was for not being active/working. You were successful when no need to labor for your employment. We have continued to try to reduce physical labor in any way possible.

70 Complete Streets Can Benefit Older Americans 50% of Americans will be over 55 in % of Americans over the age of 65 do not drive. More than 50% of non drivers stay at home on a given day because they lack transportation options. Photo: Michael Ronkin, ODOT

71 Complete Streets Can Benefit People with Disabilities 20% 20% of Americans have a disability that limits their daily activities. Complete Streets can reduce isolation and dependence.

72 Inactive From the Start Encourage sedentary behaviors Drive them for short trips Restrict playing outdoors Confined to school or home for most of the day Setting them up for a lifetime of inactivity and chronic illness

73 Game Off Kids do not play outside. Most play is organized. Organized sports not as active as we think. (too much standing around waiting for playing time plus treat culture is prevelant) Resource: Michael F. Bergeron, director of the environmental physiology laboratory at the Medical College of Georgia.

74 School Commute In 1969, 87% of children living within 1 mile of school walked or bicycled. Today, fewer than 15% of children use active modes of transportation. 63% of high schoolers are no longer physically active American Council of Exercise US Department of Transportation; Federal Highway Administration National Personal Transportation Survey: travel to school.

75 There is hope..

76 Traditional Prevention Has Focused on Modifying Individuals Lifestyles Environment Lifestyle Health Regulation Family Schools Worksite Community Streets Nutrition Physical activity Alcohol Tobacco Safety Obesity Diabetes Heart disease Cancer Injury

77 A New Paradigm: Using Planning and Transportation Strategies to Promote Active Living Behaviors The Concept: Integrating additional physical activities such as walking and bicycling into a daily routine may be a better public health strategy than traditional structured and organized programs.

78 Active Living Concept Active Living integrates physical activity into daily routines. The goal is 30 minutes of activity each day. Individuals may achieve this by walking or bicycling for transportation, exercise or pleasure; playing in the park; working in the yard; taking the stairs; and using recreation facilities.

79 Physical Activity Guidelines Advisory Committee Report US Dept of Health and Human Services,

80 Moderate Physical Activity Prevents Disease Walking 30 minutes 6 days a week (the equivalent of about 11 miles per week) is enough to reduce the risk of metabolic syndrome. Those who exercised the most, jogging about 17 miles per week, gained only slightly more benefit in terms of lowered metabolic syndrome scores. American Journal of Cardiology, December 15, 2007

81 Positive (and immediate) Outcomes from Physical Activity Mood and motivation improve Stress and anxiety are reduced Energy and creativity increase Sleep and self image improve Bones and muscles are stronger Memory, learning, attention, decision making and multi tasking tasking improve Pain decreases Plus disease prevention

82 Walkable Neighborhoods People living in walkable neighborhoods were more likely to know their neighbors, participate politically, trust others, and be socially engaged. People who are socially engaged with others and actively involved in their communities tend to live longer and be healthier physically and mentally. Social engagement has also been shown to be linked to the prevention of crime and enhanced economic development. Social Capital and the Built Environment: The Importance of Walkable able Neighborhoods, Kevin Leyden, PhD. American Journal of Public Health, September 2003

83 Benefits of Cycling Reduce symptoms of ADHD and ADD Reduce symptoms of Parkinsons Disease

84 Built Environment and Physical Activity Research Conclusions Living in Activity Friendly Communities can Generate 2 more walk/bike trips per person per week Prevent up to 1.7 pounds of weight gain per year Positively impact the total number of minutes of physical activity (40% more physical activity) Increase life expectancy by 4 years. Ewing et al 2003, Saelens et al 2003, Giles Corti 2003, Frank et al 2003, Sturm et al 2004, Frank et al 2004, Lopez 2004

85 Active Outside is Healthier Provide contact with nature known to enhance well being and health including lower bp,, cholesterol, stress and quicker recovery from surgery and cancer treatment. Int J Immunopathol Pharmacol Apr Jun;20(2 Suppl 2):3 8. Forest bathing enhances human natural killer activity and expression of anti cancer proteins.

86 Evidence is growing that parks, trails, and greenways have positive affects on increasing physical activity. People with access to neighborhood parks were nearly twice as likely to be physically active as those without access to parks. Environmental determinants of physical activity in the United States. American Journal of Public Health,, 91(12), percent of trail users reported they participated more in activities, such as walking and biking, as a result of the trail in their community. Indiana University, School of Health, Physical Education and Recreation, Eppley Institute for Parks and Public Lands. (2001).

87 Fitness Centers for Kids Safe and well maintained playgrounds are important resources for communities. Unstructured play is important for physical, social, and psychological development. Parents are more active too!
