  1. I DARE YOU Daniel E. Hale, MD Professor of Pediatrics Chief, Division of Pediatric Endocrinology and Diabetes University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio

  2. Five things to share with families when you see an overweight child (or an overweight parent).

  3. After the dare, Morton was never again seen in school I DARE YOU • Turn off the television • Children walk (run, bike, hike, swim) • Water/low fat milk are the only beverages at home • Fast food is a 1 time per week treat • Fruits and vegetables are the only snacks

  4. How many hours of TV does the typical American child watch? A. 1 hour B. 2 hours C. 3 hours D. 4 hours

  5. Turn Off the Television - 1 • Children spend ~4 hours a day watching television, DVDs and videos. • 68% of 8- to 18-year-olds have a TV in their bedroom; 54% have a DVD/VCR player, 37% have cable/satellite TV, and 20% have premium channels. • In 63% of households, the TV is "usually" on during meals.  Roberts DF, Foehr UG, Rideout V.  Generation M:  media in the lives of 8-18 year-olds.  Kaiser Family Foundation.  March 2005

  6. Turn Off the Television - 2 • In 53% of households of 7th- to 12th-graders, there are no rules about TV watching. • In 51% of households, the TV is on "most" of the time. • Kids with a TV in their bedroom spend an ~1.5 hours more per day watching TV than kids without a TV in the bedroom.

  7. Turn Off the Television - 3 • TV viewing is replacing preferred activities in a childhood (like playing, reading, doing homework or chores). • Kids who spend more time watching TV (both with and without parent and siblings present) spend less time interacting with family members. Bickham DS, Rich M. Is television viewing associated with social isolation? Roles of exposure time, viewing context, and violent content. Arch Pediatr Adolesc Med. 160:387-92, 2006. Vandewater EA, Bickham DS, Lee JH. Time well spent? Relating television use to children's free-time activities.  Pediatrics 117:e181-91, 2006.

  8. Turn Off the Television - 4 • Excessive TV viewing contributes to poor grades, sleep problems, behavior problems, obesity, and risky behavior. • Children' s programming may not teach what parents say they want their children to learn; shows are filled with stereotypes, violent solutions to problems, and mean behavior. • On average, children see ~22,000 TV commercials each year.  This includes many ads for unhealthy snack foods and drinks. American Academy of Pediatrics.  Television—what children see and learn.  Available at:  http://www.aap.org

  9. Turn Off the Television - 5 • Being awake with the TV on for >2hr/day is a risk factor for being overweight at ages 3 and 4 ½ years.  • Weekend TV viewing in early childhood affects body mass index in adulthood. • The best predictors for being overweight among 3- to 7-year-olds, are physical activity and TV viewing.  TV was a bigger factor than diet.  Inactivity and TV became stronger predictors as the children aged. • Lumeng JC, Rahnama S, Appugliese D, Kaciroti N, Bradley RH. Television exposure and overweight risk in preschoolers. Arch Pediatr Adolesc Med. 2006 Apr;160(4):417-22. • Viner RM, Cole TJ. Television viewing in early childhood predicts adult body mass index. J Pediatr. 2005 Oct;147(4):429-35. • Jago R, Baranowski T, Baranowski JC, Thompson D, Greaves KA. BMI from 3-6 y of age is predicted by TV viewing and physical activity, not diet.  Int J Obes (Lond). 2005 Jun;29(6):557-64.

  10. Turn Off the Television - 6 • Children who watch TV are more likely to be inactive and tend to snack while watching TV. • Two-thirds of the 20,000 TV ads an average child sees each year are for food; most are for high-sugar foods. • All television shows replace physical activity. • While watching TV, the metabolic rate often goes even lower than during rest.  Klesges RC, Shelton ML, Klesges LM. Effects of television on metabolic rate: potential implications for childhood obesity. Pediatrics 91:281-6, 1991. McGinnis JM, Gootman JA, Kraak VI, eds.  Food marketing to children and youth:  threat or opportunity?  Washington, D.C.: National Academy Press; 2006.

  11. Turn Off the Television - 7 • The food and beverage industry targets children with their television marketing, which may include commercials, product placement, and character licensing.  Most of the products pushed on kids are high in total calories, sugars, salt, and fat, and low in nutrients.  • Recent studies have reported success in reducing excess weight gain in preadolescents by restricting TV viewing. Caballero B. Obesity prevention in children: opportunities and challenges. Int J Obes Relat Metab Disord 28 Suppl 3:S90-5, 2004.

  12. No Apologies Necessary (AAP Position Statement) • Too much television can negatively affect early brain development. This is especially true at younger ages, when learning to talk and play with others is so important. • The AAP does not recommend television for children age 2 or younger. • For older children, the Academy recommends no more than 1 to 2 hours per day of educational, nonviolent programs

  13. Marketing to Children

  14. Tips For Parents (AAP) • Set limits 1 hour, 2 hours, only after supper and homework are completed • Plan your child's viewing Make TV a “conscious” choice (no passive TV watching) • Watch TV with your child TV in public, not private, space • Find the right message Does the program reflect your views/values/behaviors • Help your child resist commercials Ask your child about the “message” (You will be surprised) http://www.aap.org/family/tv1.htm

  15. Tips For Parents (AAP) 6. Look for quality children's videos The Coalition for Quality Children's Media http://www.cqcm.org • Give other options Coloring books, family games, a walk • Set a good example Turn on the TV with a purpose • Express your views If you do not approve of something, talk about it with your children! 10.

  16. Children Walk

  17. What are the US Surgeon General’s recommendations for physical activity for adults?A. 1 hour per day, 6 days per weekB. 1 hour per day, 3 days per weekC. 20 minutes per day, 6 days per weekD. 40 minutes per day, 7 days per week

  18. Walk - 1 • During the 7 days pre-survey, 77% of children aged 9-13 participated in free-time physical activity, and 39% participated in organized physical activity.  • 36% of high school students had participated in > 60 minutes per day of physical activity on ≥5 of the 7 days preceding the survey. • Of these, 64% of high school students participated in sufficient vigorous physical activity, and 27% participated in sufficient moderate physical activity.  • Participation in physical activity declines as children get older. Youth Behavioral Risk Survey, 2005

  19. Walk - 2 Type of Activity Girls Boys >60 min/day (1) 27.8% 43.8% Daily PE (2) 29.0% 37.1% i.e., the major source of physical activity for most children is at school (1) Any activity that increased heart rate and made them breathe hard some of the time for at least 60 minutes per day on 5 or more of the 7 days preceding the survey(2) Attended physical education classes 5 days in an average week when they were in school Youth Behavioral Risk Survey, 2005

  20. Walk - 3 • Over half (54%) of high school students (72% of 9 grade students but only 39% of 12 grade students) attended PE in 2005.  • In 2005, 45% of 9 graders but only 22% of 12 graders attended daily PE.  • Among the 54% of students who attended PE, 84% actually exercised or played sports for 20 minutes or longer during an average class. • High school students attending PE classes daily decreased from 42% in 1991 to 25% in 1995, (stable since then).

  21. Walk - 4 • Physical education “time” does not equal moderate to vigorous physical activity • The “HEALTHY” experience • Mandating the time “by law” does not result in change • The California experience

  22. Walk - 5 • Physical activity • Assessing fitness • Differing measures (by country, state) • Analysis of data from around the world, including the US. • Approximate rate of decline in physical fitness is about 0.5% per year since ~1980. Pediatric Fitness: Secular Trends and Geographic Variability; Editor(s): Tomlinson, G.R. Olds, T.S.  2007 Karger AG, Basel.

  23. Walk - 6 • Parents estimate that their children get 11.5 hours of physical activity per week. • Children and youth average 6.5 hours per week (most of which is not moderate to vigorous physical activity).

  24. Walk- 7 • The American Heart Association recommends that children and adolescents participate in at least 60 minutes of moderate to vigorous physical activity every day. • The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommend that children and youth accumulate at least 60 minutes daily of moderate to vigorous physical activity in a variety of enjoyable individual and group activities. • Pediatrics 117, 1834-1842, 2006

  25. Moderate activity+ 3.0 to 6.0 METs* (3.5 to 7 kcal/min) Walking at a moderate or brisk pace of 3 to 4.5 mph on a level surface inside or outside, such as Walking to class, work, or the store; Walking for pleasure; Walking the dog; or Walking as a break from work. Walking downstairs or down a hill Racewalking—less than 5 mph Using crutches Hiking Roller skating or in-line skating at a leisurely pace Vigorous activity+ > 6.0 METs* (more than 7 kcal/min) Racewalking and aerobic walking—5 mph or faster Jogging or running Wheeling your wheelchair Walking and climbing briskly up a hill Backpacking Mountain climbing, rock climbing, rapelling Roller skating or in-line skating at a brisk pace MVPA http://www.cdc.gov/nccdphp/dnpa/physical/terms/index.htm

  27. Water/low fat milk are the only beverages at home and school

  28. Beverages - 1 A Math Lesson • 3500 calories = 1 pound • An imbalance of 100 calories per day = 36,500 calories in 1 year • 100 calories = ~8oz of most sugared beverages • 36,500 calories = 10.4 lbs • So forget the math and just remember that an extra 100 calories per day caloric excess each day for a year is 10 lbs (i.e., small changes can make a difference)

  29. Beverages - 2 Average 12-19 yrs of age drinks • Boys - 28 oz of soda / day 5% > 60 oz / day • Girls - 20 oz / day 5% > 36 oz / day

  30. Beverages - 3 • 28 oz = 325 cal • 3500 cal = 1 lb • 325 cal/day = 119,233 cal/yr • 325 cal/day ~ 32.5 lbs/yr

  31. Beverages - 4 The “Big Gulp” and a grab bag of chips (99¢ all summer) 62 oz = 720 cal Chips = 280 cal 1000 cal/day = 2 lbs/wk “School’s out” = 20 lbs/10 weeks

  32. Beverages - 5 “Texas Soda Wars” Susan Combs

  33. Beverages - 6 Benefit to schools • $54 million (~$6/case) • Sports equipment • Scholarship • Special programs School budget from State = $14.4 bil (2002) Total spending on education was 40.7 bil

  34. Beverages - 7 • 55 sodas per child per year at school • 55 x 240 calories = 13,200 • 13, 200 / 3,500 = 3.77 pounds • The average weight gain for: • A 7 year old girl is ~4 lbs/year • A 12 year old girl is ~10 lbs/year • A 16 year old girl is ~6 lbs/yr

  35. Beverages - 8 • Benefit to Beverage company • 162 million (~$18/case) • “Branding for life” • “Captive audience” • Positive public relations • Advertising at a profit for 180 days/yr

  42. Fast Foods - 2 Pop Quiz Answer: This is the entire daily caloric need for the typical adult female or 80% of the needs for the adult male. Answer: To burn off this many calories, one needs to walk ~4 hours http://www.primusweb.com/fitnesspartner/ jumpsite/calculat.htm

  43. Fast Foods - 3 Meals eaten “out” (1996) 30% % of weekly food budget 45% % children eating out/day 40% Children’s fast food $ 21 bil

  44. Fast Foods - 4 Portion size (1977-1996) Calories • Desserts +55 • Burgers +96 • Mexican food +133 JAMA 2003; 289:450-453

  45. High energy (calorically dense) High total and saturated fat High cholesterol High sodium Low Vitamin A & C Low folic acid Low calcium Low fiber Fast Foods - 5 J Am Diet Assoc 2003; 103: 1332-1338

  46. Fast Foods - 6 Pediatrics 2004; 113:112-118

  48. Fast Foods - 8 • Longitudinal study, girls, age 8 &12 at start • Fast food ≥ 2 / week vs ≤1 / week • More rapid increase in BMI over time • Cross sectional, both sexes, ages 4 -16 • Overweight – more servings of food and beverages away for home • this correlated with the % body fat

  49. Fast Foods - 9 Tips for parents • The best “combo” is fast food with activity (e.g., post hike) • Avoid supersizes, doubles, etc (>500 calories beware) • Brainstorm about easy food to prepare at home (and use the internet) • Moderation in all things/appropriate portion sizes • Start early, with yourself (parents are role models) • Offer choices, but limit them (milk or water) • Toys come from the toy store, not the restaurant • Use the websites of fast food restaurants – find those things that < 500 calories
