Glucose and Cholesterol Screening for Pediatric Obesity A Training for CHDP Providers Prepared by: The CHDP Nutrition Subcommittee
Goal • To ensure that children and adolescents with BMI ≥ 85th percentile, as well as those who are at risk but not overweight, are screened for the most common medical conditions associated with childhood overweight
Agenda • Review the medical conditions associated with pediatric overweight/obesity • Summarize the risk factors for complications of pediatric overweight/obesity that need to be identified as part of a health assessment • Clarify the guidelines as described in CHDP Provider Information Notices 05-16 and 05-22
Overweight & Obese ChildrenCalifornia children ages 2 to <5 2009 CDC Pediatric Nutrition Surveillance System growth statistics from CHDP PM160 report
Overweight & Obese ChildrenCalifornia children ages 5 to <20 years 2009 CDC Pediatric Nutrition Surveillance System growth statistics from CHDP PM160 report
BMI BMI Boys: 2 to 20 years BMI BMI BMI Percentile • Select the appropriate growth chart • Record the data • Calculate BMI • Plot measurements • Interpret plotted measurements >99th % Severely obese > 95th % Obese 85th to < 95th % Overweight < 5th % Underweight
Assessment Algorithm In-depth Medical Assessment • Measurements • Weight • Height • Age • Plot Obese Overweight BMI % Growth Chart + Lab Tests (cholesterol & glucose) Normal* Underweight - Note in chart: “Counsel & Follow-up” *Further tests may be warranted depending on family history
Conditions Associated with Childhood Overweight • Orthopedic Conditions • Accelerated Growth • Hip Disorders • Psychological Conditions • Depression/Self-Esteem • Substance Abuse • Disordered Eating • Discrimination • Pulmonary Conditions • Asthma • Sleep Apnea • Cardiovascular Conditions • High Blood Cholesterol • Lipid Disorders • Hypertension (HTN) • Endocrine Conditions • Type 2 Diabetes • Insulin Resistance • Impaired Glucose Tolerance • Menstrual Irregularities • Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome • Gastrointestinal Conditions • Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD) • Gallstones
Recommended Screening for Children ≥ 5 Years of Age Screen for both cholesterol & glucose* if BMI ≥ 85th % AND two of the following risk factors (may be repeated as medically necessary): • BMI ≥ 95th % • Family history of diabetes • Black, Hispanic, American Indian, Asian, Pacific Islander, Native Alaskan • One of the following: acanthosis nigricans, HTN, dyslipidemia or polycystic ovarian syndrome • Less than 30 minutes activity/day or consistently unbalanced diet *This training is not intended to cover all aspects of type 1 or type 2 diabetes
Recommended Screening for Children ≥ 5 Years of Age Screen for cholesterol if one of the following risk factors is present (may be repeated as medically necessary): • One parent or grandparent had heart/vascular disease, heart attack, heart death, heart surgery or stroke at ≤ 55 years of age* • One parent has a cholesterol level ≥ 240 mg/dl* *Family history may not be available for all children
Referral & Care Managementfor Abnormal Test Results • Fasting glucose ≥ 126 mg/dl (elevated): counsel & repeat test, endocrinology referral and/or CCS referral* • Cholesterol > 170 - < 200 mg/dl (borderline): counsel & repeat test in one year* • Cholesterol ≥ 200 mg/dl (elevated): cardiac referral and/or CCS referral* *Clinical judgment should be used
Laboratories Blood Glucose – Code 25 Cholesterol – Code 26 Use Code 25 and/or 26 ONLY if collecting the sample. Otherwise, denote: “Sent for glucose and/or cholesterol lab.” 25 Blood glucose 26 Blood/Serum Cholesterol Completing the PM160

Summary • Lab screening is necessary to provide quality care for children who are overweight/obese • Glucose and cholesterol screening facilitates early identification of children who are at risk for diabetes and cardiovascular disease • Abnormal lab results can help guide providers to initiate early intervention and/or referral to treatment
