Epidemiology • National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES)1 • 2007-2008 • 16.9% of children (age 2-19 years) obese • 1970 • 5% • In South Carolina—26.9% • 50% of obese children (>6 years) will become obese adults2 • 10% for nonobese children 1Ogden CL, et al. JAMA. 2010; 303(3): 242–249 2Whitaker RC, et al. NEJM. 1997; 337(13): 869-873

  5. Defining Pediatric Obesity • Body Mass Index (BMI) • Weight (kg)/ [height (m)]2 • Preferred method for evaluating obesity • Age 2-19 years • Correlates strongly with body fat percentage

  6. Defining Pediatric Obesity (cont.) • 1994-Expert Committee on Clinical Guidelines for Overweight in Adolescent Preventative Services • Overweight • BMI > 30 kg/m2 • BMI ≥ 95th percentile for age and gender • “At risk for overweight” • BMI ≥ 85th but ≤ 95th percentile • 2005-Institute of Medicine • Obese • BMI > 30 kg/m2 • BMI ≥ 95th percentile for age and gender

  7. Defining Pediatric Obesity (cont.) • 2007-American Academy of Pediatrics • Overweight • BMI ≥ 85th but ≤ 95th percentile • Obese • BMI > 30 kg/m2 • BMI ≥ 95th percentile for age and gender • Morbidly obese • BMI ≥ 99th percentile • If < 2yo • Overweight • Weight for lenth ≥ 95th percentile for age and gender

  11. Prevalence of the Metabolic Syndrome • Overall incidence • Age 12-19 years • 3-4% • Age 20-29 years • 6.7% • Adults ≥ 30 years • 23.7% • NHANES III (n=2400) • Adolescents age 12-19 years • BMI ≥ 95th percentile • 28.7% • BMI 85th-94th percentile • 6.1% • BMI ≤ 84th percentile • 0.1% Cook S, et al. Arch Pediatr Adolesc Med. 2003; 157 (8): 821-827

  12. Pediatric Metabolic Syndrome: Need for a Standard Definition • Reviewed 27 articles • 46 unique definitions of pediatric metabolic syndrome • Most emulated the NCEP approach • BMI or waist circumference • Blood pressure • Lipid levels • Glucose abnormalities • Different cut-offs/percentiles were used in the various definitions Ford ES, et al. J Peds. 2008; 152(2): 160-164

  13. Pediatric Metabolic Syndrome:What to screen with and WHEN!

  14. Overweight: BMI ≥ 85th percentile • Obese: BMI ≥ 95th percentile • Morbidly BMI ≥ 99th percentile Overweight/Obesity • ADA criteria • Impaired fasting glucose (IFG) • ≥ 100 but <126 • Impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) • ≥ 140 but <200 • At risk for developing T2DM • HbA1c between 5.7 and 6.4% Glucose abnormalities Blood pressure • Norms varying depending on age, height, and gender Fasting lipid levels • Norms very depending on age/gender

  15. 2005 NIH—National Heart Lung and Blood Institute BP Tables • Pre-HTN • SBP and/or DBP • Between 90-94th percentile • HTN • SBP and/or DBP • ≥ 95th percentile • On 3 or more occasions

  22. Medications Associated with Weight Gain

  23. Lab Screening Recommendations • Overweight with no risk factors: • Fasting lipid panel • Overweight with risk factor(s): • Fasting lipid panel • AST/ALT • Fasting glucose • Obese (± risk factors) • Fasting lipid panel • AST/ALT • Fasting glucose • BUN/Cr • Risk Factors: • Family Hx of obesity-related diseases • Elevated BP • Elevated lipid levels • Tobacco use

  24. Obesity: Prevention • Breastfeeding alone until age 6 months, and encourage BF even after intro of solid foods • Do not skip meals • Eat meals as a family; Dining out ≤ 2x/week • Avoid high sugar beverages • ≤ 12 oz of 100% fruit juice daily • Drink 3-4 8-oz glasses of skim milk daily • Ca and Vit D fortified • Portion sizes should be limited to the amount of recommended calories for age • Keep TVs and other electronics out of bedrooms • ≤ 2 hours of screen time daily • 1 hr of moderate intensity aerobic exercise daily American Heart Association 2008 Policy Statement

  25. Obesity: Treatment Stages • Prevention (P) • All children • Promotion and support for: • Breastfeeding • Family meals • Limited screen time • Regular physical activity • Yearly BMI monitoring • Prevention Plus (PP) • BMI between the 85th - 94th percentiles • 5 servings of fruits and vegetables/day • 2 hours or less of screen time • 1 hour or more of physical activity • 0 sugared drinks • Structured Weight Management (SWM) • If PP fails • BMI is between 95th - 98th percentiles • More frequent follow-up with written diet and exercise plans • Comprehensive Multidisciplinary Intervention (CMI) • When 3 - 6 months of SWM fails • More frequent visits with an MD and a dietician • May include exercise and behavioral specialists • Tertiary Care Intervention • BMI ≥ 99th percentile with associated comorbidities • SWM and CMI failed • Incudes everything else plus: • Meal replacements • Pharmacotherapy • Bariatric surgery Barlow SE and the AAP Expert Committee.

  28. Obesity: Pharmacotherapy • Orlistat (Xenical or Alli) • FDA-approved for children ≥ 12yo • Inhibits GI lipases • Dose: 120 mg TID • During or up to 1hr after meal • MVI 2 hrs before or after orlistat • GI side effects common • Metformin • Not FDA approved for obesity • For T2DM • Approved in children ≥ 10yo • Metformin ER • FDA approved ≥ 17yo • Major effects: • ↓ hepatic gluconeogenesis • ↑ peripheral insulin sensitivity

  29. Metformin (cont.) • Starting dose • 500 mg Qday, increased to a max of 1000mg BID • Titrating slow can limit GI-side effects • MVI with vit B12 • Contraindictaed in: • Renal failure • Chronic hypoxic states • Use of radiocontrast dye • Very rare side effects: decreased platelet aggregation and hemolytic anemia • Check BUN/Cr and CBC • Before initiation • Every 2 years

  30. Metformin Use in Pediatric Obesity • Review of 5 RCTs from 2001-2008 • Children age 6-19 years (n=320) • All trials lasted 6 months • Metformin 1000-2000 mg/day or placebo • BMI reduction of 1.42 kg/m2 • Improved insulin sensitivity Need larger, long term studies Park MH, et al.

  39. An update on 73 US obese pediatric patients treated with laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding: comorbidity resolution and compliance data (cont.) • Complications • Band slippage (6) • Gastric perforation (1) • Symptomatic hiatal hernias (3) • Asymptomatic iron deficiency (13) • Asymptomatic vitamin D deficiency (4) • Mild subjective hair loss (14) Nadler, EP, et al. J Pediatr Surg. 2008 Jan; 43(1): 141-6

  40. Final Thoughts • Childhood obesity has reached epidemic proportions • There is no current accepted definition for pediatric metabolic syndrome • Mainstay of treatment is DIET/EXERCISE counseling • The counseling should start in early childhood and BEGINS with the caregivers • Pediatrician or Family practitioner • Consider referral to weight management program • After age ≥ 6 years if • Prevention and prevention plus fail • BMI ≥ 95th percentile with co-morbidity • BMI ≥ 99th percentile
