Objectives Terminology review Discuss the prevalence of adolescent obesity Discuss the demographics of corpulence Identify comorbidities of obese conditions in children Identify risk factors for adolescent obesity Suggest possible preventative measures and treatment strategies for obese children and teens (Chronic Care Model) 4. First Things First Useful Definitions According to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), there is a difference between the terms overweight and obesity. Overweight is defined as a BMI at or above the 85th percentile and lower than the 95th percentile for children of the same age and sex. Obesity is defined as a BMI at or above the 95th percentile for children of the same age and sex. http://www.cdc.gov/obesity/childhood/basics.html 5. The Prevalence of Corpulence Nationally, the prevalence of obesity in children has increased from 5% in 1963 to 1970 to 17% in 2003 to 2004. Childhood obesity has more than doubled in children and quadrupled in adolescents in the past 30 years. ... The percentage of children aged 611 years in the United States who were obese increased from 7% in 1980 to nearly 18% in 2012. More than one-third of adults and 17% of youth in the United States are obese (Ogden, 2014) http://www.cdc.gov/healthyyouth/obesity/facts.htm 6. The Demographics of Obesity In a study in 20032004, the prevalence rates of obesity were alarmingly high among black girls (24%) and Mexican American boys (22%). The same study showed that rates have also increased among Native American and Asian American youths. Poverty has also been associated with greater obesity prevalence among adolescents. (Barlow, 2007) 7. Comorbidity Type 2 Diabetes and Metabolic Syndromes Arthritis Cardiovascular Disease Hypertension (Stroke) Arteriosclerosis (High Cholesterol) Sleep Apnea Asthma Early Pubescence or Menstruation 8. Comorbidity Continued Depression Low Self-Esteem Victimization Behavior and learning problems 9. What are the RISKS? Immediate Risks High blood pressure and high cholesterol, which are risk factors for cardiovascular disease (CVD). In one study, 70% of obese children had at least one CVD risk factor, and 39% had two or more. Increased risk of impaired glucose tolerance, insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes. Breathing problems, such as sleep apnea, and asthma. Joint problems and musculoskeletal discomfort. Fatty liver disease, gallstones, and gastro-esophageal reflux. Obese children and adolescents have a greater risk of social and psychological problems, such as discrimination and poor self-esteem, which can continue into adulthood. Children and adolescents who are obese are at greater risk for bone and joint problems, sleep apnea, and social and psychological problems such as stigmatization and poor self-esteem. Future Risks Obese children are more likely to become obese adults. Adult obesity is associated with a number of serious health conditions including heart disease, diabetes, and some cancers. If children are overweight, obesity in adulthood is likely to be more severe. 10. Recognizing Risk Factors for Obesity Ethnicity Socioeconomic Status Obese or Overweight Parents Poor Self Image Decreased or No involvement in Physical Extracurricular Activities Conditions that Perpetuate Obesity 11. Aspects of a Healthy Lifestyle 12. Prevention Diet and Exercise: Healthy eating and physical activity, can lower the risk of becoming obese and developing obesity related illnesses. Psychsocial: Health associated behaviors of kids and adolescents are influenced by many aspects of society. This includes their families, communities, schools, child care settings, health care providers, religious affiliations, government agencies, influence of the media, and the food and beverage industries and entertainment industries. Education: Schools play a crucial role in the establishment of a safety net by offering a supportive environment with policies and practices that support healthy praxis. Schools also provide an opportunities for kids to learn practice healthy activities. 13. Community Health Starts with Individual Care Nora Blackmon Health Center THANK YOU 14. Questions???? 15.
