    Childhood Obesity

    trends, complications, cost, and prevention

    Definition, prevalence, and trends Causes and other contributing factors Risks psychological and physical Costs to individual, healthcare institutions, and society Obstacles to shifting the paradigm Recommendations for effecting change Motivational Interviewing

    Overview

    Definition, prevalence, and trends


    a brief look at childhood obesity

    Use of Body Mass Index (BMI) Overweight 85th percentile Obese 95th percentile

    Definition of obesity

    Increase in obesity from 1976-2000 No trend from 2000-2008 17% of children aged 2-19 were considered obese in 2008 5.5% were obese in 1976

    Prevalence and trends

    Causes & other contributing factors


    multiple risk factors and reasons for childhood obesity

    At the basic level, obesity occurs when more calories are consumed than are used Susceptibility to obesity Genetic characteristics havent changed in last 3 decades, but prevalence among school-aged children has tripled during that time

    Genetics

    Fast food, family restaurants, and portion sizes Less physically active than before More time in front of the TV or playing video games

    Behavioral Patterns

    Home, childcare, school, and community influence Childrens habits reflect parents habits Lack of playgrounds/parks, bike paths, sidewalks, pools

    Environmental Factors

    Risks and complications


    psychological and physical

    Still a negative stigma Targets of social discrimination Disrespected and bullied by peers Lead to low self-esteem and depression

    Psychological risks

    May be unable to perform simple tasks Glucose intolerance, fatty liver, hypertension, high blood pressure, asthma, sleep apnea, orthopedic complications, polycystic ovary syndrome Type 2 diabetes increasingly common

    Physical risks

    Costs
    individual, healthcare institutions/insurance companies, society

    $147 billion/year for obesity medical costs $1,400 higher each year for obese vs. healthy-weight individuals Immobile patients may spend up to $1,500 on a bariatric wheelchair (compared to $150-$330 for regular) Possible reduced lifespan

    Individual costs

    More diseases associated with obesity Insurance companies may raise premiums Retrofitting rooms for bariatric patients

    Toilets Wider wheelchairs Bigger/adjustable beds Motors to assist nurses & prevent injury Larger waiting room chairs New MRI machines (70cm diameter vs. 60cm)

    Healthcare institutional costs

    Face complications of epidemic together May not feel need to change if everyone is obese Healthcare/insurance obstacles cost may be directed toward general public through increased taxes and higher insurance premiums

    Societal costs

    Obstacles to shifting the paradigm


    why change isnt easy

    Do not wish to/afraid of change Do not recognize need for change/cultural differences Bad habits are not easily broken Takes time & dedication to achieve results Fast food is easier and cheaper Limited access to healthful foods Making excusing is easier than taking action

    Obstacles for change

    Recommendations for effecting change


    what we can do as a society or as individuals

    Educate children about risk factors Focus on healthy lifestyle, not weight loss Limit TV and video games Limit fast food and sweetened beverages Encourage physical activity Have family dinners at the table, not in front of the TV

    Parents

    More time spent educating about wellness School nurses Gym & health classes

    Schools and childcare

    Use time to promote wellness and increase awareness Speak with parents about willingness/ability to change Motivational Interviewing

    Pediatricians and nurses

    Motivational Interviewing
    and the transtheoretical model

    Patient-centered interaction Explore and resolve ambivalence about change Build rapport with patient and family Collaborate with patient, empowerment Use empathy and encouragement Evoke intrinsic motivation, required for lasting change

    MI technique

    Six stages
    Precontemplation Contemplation Preparation Action Maintenance Termination

    Can move between stages Example: GiGi and dancing

    Transtheoretical model

    Used if providers have inadequate time Multifaceted approach Collaboration of healthcare team: primary care physicians, nurse practitioners, dieticians, exercise physiologists, psychologists, and social workers

    Case Management

    Conclusions
    and future directions
