Obesity Projects: Lessons Learned and Relearned Daniel E. Hale, M.D Professor of Pediatrics, UTHSCSA
Overview • Definitions of DM types • Epidemiology of DM1 and DM2 • DM2 as a major pediatric health risk • The environment for obesity
Type 1 Diabetes (DM1) • Insulin dependent • Juvenile (onset) • Autoimmune B-cell destruction • Positive antibodies • No insulin resistance • Rapid clinical onset
Type 2 Diabetes (DM2) • Non-insulin dependent • Adult (onset) diabetes • Insulin resistance is major component • B-cell dysfunction occurs late • Indolent clinical onset
MODY and Atypical DM • Maturity Onset Diabetes of Youth • Autosomal dominant with variable penetrance • Single gene defect involving insulin production or signaling • Atypical • Ketosis prone (during illness) • Flatbush, African American • Late teen/early adult
How common is diabetes? 17 million people in the U.S. with DM • 1 million with Type 1 • 16 million with Type 2 • ? MODY • ? Atypical
How common is Type 1 diabetes in pediatrics? Prevalence U.S. 2.5/1,000 Incidence U.S. 12-16/100,000/yr Mexico City 1 San Antonio 9 Pittsburgh 15
How common is Type 2 diabetes in pediatrics? Prevalence U.S. ??? Incidence U.S. ??? Mexico City ??? Pittsburgh ???

BMI (kg/m2) at Diagnosis Post-rehydration Child has: Type 2Type 1 <20 2% 86% 20-25 20% 11% >25 78% 3% For 13 yr old female: 50% BMI =18.7 85% BMI = 22 95% BMI = 26
Age at Diagnosis of DM2 No DM2 <5 yrs of age (yet) 5% of new DM diagnoses 5-9 yrs 35% of new DM diagnosed 9-14 yrs 75% of new DM diagnosed >15 yrs Mean age at DX with DM2 = 13.4 years
Tanner Stage at Diagnosis Pubertal Status Percent Tanner 1 10 Tanner 2 - 4 50 Tanner 5 40
Family History of Diabetes Child has:DM2DM1 0 Parent with DM 30% 88% 1 Parent with DM 66% 12% 2 Parents with DM 4% 0% Estimated prevalence of DM2 in adults in 25-40 age range in SA varies from 4-12%
Acanthosis Nigricans DM2DM1 Neck 93% 2% Axilla 77% 0% Acanthosis is a sign of insulin resistance, not diabetes
Other features Hospitalization • 20% at Dx (most not ill) • Insurance Status • 20% self pay • 55% Medicaid/Chip • 25% Private
Lesson Learned • If the BMI>95%, the child is over age 10 and/or pubertal and the child has one close family member with DM, seriously consider the possibility of DM2
Going to Middle School • 1492 middle school children • 89% economically disadvantaged • 92% Mexican American • All urban
Going to Middle School • Questionnaires • Blood pressure • Acanthosis screening • Height and weight • Fasting blood sample for glucose, insulin and lipids
DM2 IFG AN BMI(F) HI BMI(M) FH-DM 0 10 20 30 40 50 60 70 Percent Affected DM Risk Factors in 12-14 Year Old MA Youth
Lesson Learned • As many as 20% of students may have acanthosis. • About 0.5% or less will have DM2 • Acanthosis screening without resources and personnel for adequate and appropriate follow-up is bad public health policy.
BP(F) LDL-C HDL-C FH-SD FH-MI<50 BP(M) Trigly BMI(F) FH- Lipid BMI(M) TC 0 10 20 30 40 50 60 Percent Affected CAD Risk Factors in 12-14 Year Old MA Youth
Lesson Learned • If you are thinking about screening for diabetes, you should also screen for cardiovascular risk (lipid profile, blood pressure)
Going to Elementary School • 2672 4th grade children • 91% economically disadvantaged • 87% Mexican American • All urban
Hyperglycemia in 4th Grade Students Fasting Samples Only FcG(>100) 12.2% FcG (>110) 5.4% Repeated IFcG 3.2% All with FcG>110 on repeat to OGTT IGT (2hr>140, <200) 1.3% DM2 (2hr>200) 0.4%
Lessons Learned • If one is interested in diabetes identification, a fasting capillary glucose is of value, especially if repeated on a second day. (More Later)
On to Kindergarten and Prekindergarten • Rio Grande City Independent School District • Poorest county in the US • 8 elementary schools • 62% participation in screening program (total of 2927 children)
Lessons Learned • Overweight and Obesity are Common • Overweight and Obesity are Common at 4 years of age
Lessons Learned • Acanthosis in common • The prevalence of AN increases with increasing age
Hyperglycemia Screening Protocol Two stage screen Random (nonfasting) If cG ≥ 100 then Rescreen on fasting If cG ≥ 100 on fasting rescreen refer for OGTT
Lesson Learned • A casual glucose level is a reasonable initial screen. It gives no more false positives than a “fasting” screen • For the follow-up, you can focus your efforts on being certain that people are fasting
Interventions • Bienestar • Bienestar Laredo • Healthy • DiRReCT Starr County • DiRReCT Harlandale
Bienestar Curriculum/Classroom Activities Physical Education Cafeteria Changes Afterschool Program Parent Component
Bienestar Laredo Curriculum/Classroom Activities Physical Education Cafeteria Changes Afterschool Program Parent Component
Differences • Program Staff vs School and Public Health Staff • One School System vs 2 School Systems • Long-established Relationships vs New Relationships • Local vs Distance
Lessons (Re)Learned • Translational research is difficult • Compromises have to be made to sustain project • School policy and administrative changes can have major effects on implementation
HEALTHY (multisite) • Classroom Activities (FLASH) • Revamped PE • Cafeteria Changes and Events • Social Marketing • Parent Program
Lessons (Re)Learned • Every school system is different • Every school is different • PE can be done “better” • Students can be “engaged” • Parent involvement in very, very difficult
DiRReCT • Behavioral Weight Management Program delivered afterschool on school property by face-to-face contact or by telelink
Lessons Learned • Increased physical activity, improved eating habits and weight loss can be achieved by children and adults by a 10 week program BUT effects are not sustained after the program stops
